Steve & Ruth White Participate in Henderson Protest

by: Steve White
I. RECAP
Last month we were notified of a local family that had been targeted with a number of Hate Crime incidents, including the breaking into their mailbox and the spray-painting of the word “Nigger” on their car. The family’s Property Manager, the Local Police, and a local TV Station (KVVU, Fox 5) were notified of this incident. All chose to ignore it. We swung into action, notifying the Center for Media & Public Affairs (CMPA) in D.C. and the King Center in Atlanta, GA. We organized a peaceful protest at KVVU, and circulated a Press Release to local and nationalMedia. The Protest was scheduled on the 37th Anniversary of the killing of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
II. Results of Outreach
Matthew Felling, Media Director of CMPA was rude and dismissive with Steve, and actually hung up on Ruth. Perhaps they weren’t interested in this incident because the victims were not famous celebrities. The staff at the King Center said that they were“outraged” at the incident and would be supportive, but they didn’t send a letter of support in time for the protest. A local FM station interviewed Steve & Ruth the evening before the protest, with live feed over the Worldwide Web.
III. The Protest
The day of the protest was cloudy, grey, drizzly and windy. Nevertheless a few people (including Steve & Ruth White, their dear friend Judy McGee, and Pastor Rob Boyd of the Green Valley Baptist Church) gathered near KVVU to pray. Pastor Boyd had to leave to keep an appointment, but the rest of us hauled out our signs (which had messages like “Mississippi of the West?”) and began walking. Many cars going by made u-turns to get a closer look, and people started peeking out the windows of KVVU to see what was going on. Soon their Program Director (named Larry) came out to talk to us. Larry promised that if there was another Hate Crime directed at this family, KVVU would do a story on it.
IV. The Results of the Protest
We definitely were encouraged by the effects of thisprotest. Although our numbers were small, we made a big impact on the local community and media. Our message got out clearly, and people heard us and agreed with what we did. The family appreciated our efforts, and was encouraged.

You're Free to Murder in our Country if You're Under 18!

By Steve White
The Supreme Court just struck down the Death Penalty for those who were under 18 when they committed their crime. It seems some of the liberal justices were worried that we might seem like savages to the rest of the world since (they say) we are one of only two countries that executes minors. The vote on this decision was 5-4, with Justices Antonio Scalia and Clarence Thomas among the dissenters.
I have news for the Self-esteemed justices: they needn’t have been so concerned with what the rest of the world thinks of us. We’ve NEVER executed a minor, to my knowledge. The average stay on Death Row is 10-15 years, so most inmates are well over 30 by the time the appeals are exhausted.
Right after the Supreme Court handed down its verdict, I began to hear some details of the case on radio. Seems a young man named Christopher Simmons (17 at the time) conspired with a couple of buddies to commit a burglary & murder. Simmons apparently told one of his friends: ”We’ll get away with it; we’re underage.”
To make the story short, Simmons and his abettors broke into a house, grabbed and hogtied the lady in the house, drove her to a distant location, and threw her off a railroad trestle into a river. Fishermen found the body a short distance downstream and the Coroner determined that she had been alive at the time she was thrown from the trestle.
Justice Anthony Kennedy (speaking for the majority) expressed the opinion that the death penalty would be “cruel and unusual punishment” for a minor. Excuse me, Judge, but what about the CRIME?? Wasn’t that “cruel and unusual” for the innocent victim??
This reminds me of the vicious Reginald Denny beating, which took place during the Los Angeles Riots in April of 1992. The Denny was driving his truck down a Los Angeles street when he was mobbed and savagely beaten by a group of young black men. Those accused got excused with very light sentences. Among the excuses we heard from their attorney was that the criminals were in the grip of “black rage,” and that is why they beat an innocent man to the ground, smashed his face with a large cinder block, and then danced around his bloody and mangled body. The sickening image still haunts me.
I feel the same way now. If criminals are not responsible and accountable just because of their age, they will feel free to do just about anything. It’s clear Christopher Simmons felt that way. What’s the worst that could happen? They could spend the rest of their lives lifting weights, watching TV, eating 3 square meals a day, and just generally having a good old time at the expense of society.
I don’t know how it will be possible, but we need more realistic and knowledgeable judges appointed to the Supreme Court. It may be tough fighting through the inevitable stalling and filibustering tactics of the Democrats, but for the good of our society, we need to get it done. That’s my opinion.

A Place For Us National

A Place For Us National

Michelle, Chris, Zell, Dr. Laura and Me

By Steve White

For most of my life, I’ve been an avid reader. That started very early in life, when my Dad used to read stories to us kids before we went to bed. That practice developed into a strong love of words and consequentially a large vocabulary on my part.

That love of words and reading also lead to frequent listening to radio & tv talk shows. I grew accustomed to Phil, Oprah, and Sally, as well as to Bill Handel, Larry Elder, Dr. Laura Schlessinger, Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh. Heck, I’m so old that I actually remember listening to talk-radio shows of a character named Joe Pyne, who broadcast over station KABC in the LA area back in the ‘60s.

Anyway, I’ve grown to be pretty tolerant and flexible, when it comes to my listening and viewing habits. I’ll listen to pretty much ANYone, as long as they’re halfway intelligent. “Maybe I can learn something” I’ve often told myself.

Still, I do have my boundaries, and now there are some people I can’t listen to or watch on a regular basic, just because they are too unreasonable.

Dr. Laura Schlessinger is one of those people. I used to listen to her program on the radio every day. She seemed so wise and practical. Then one day, a reader called in who was what he described as a “completed Jew.” The listener had come to recognize Jesus Christ as his Messiah, largely because of an organization called Jews For Jesus. You’d have thought the listener had committed sacrilege. Dr. Laura exploded in rage, and opined that TRUE Jews cannot accept Jesus as their Savior, and Jews For Jesus is committing an atrocity by “proselytizing.” Whew!! – Dr. Laura came down so hard and came across as such a bigot, that I stopped regularly listening to her show. I still listen to her once in awhile, and I freely recognize the great work she’s done in the past, but I will no longer be an avid listener of hers.

The same situation applies to Chris Matthews, the host of “Hardball” on MSNBC. I’ve been a frequent viewer of Chris’ program, and have gotten used to his rapid-fire, sometimes gruff delivery. Then came the Elections of 2004. Matthews was obviously in the Liberal camp, but one day in August, he outdid himself. The guest on that segment was conservative journalist Michelle Malkin, and she was talking about the Swift Boat Veterans. Chris was rude and abrasive, cutting Michelle off repeatedly and loudly. At one point, I saw Michelle’s head droop and her cheeks redden. I thought:” Oh my gosh; she’s going to cry!” Somehow, Michelle held her peace and got through the interview.

A few weeks later, Chris Matthews had Zell Miller (conservative Democratic Senator) on his program. Chris was pulling the same routine with Zell, and Senator Miller wasn’t about to have it. As I recall, Zell told Chris to “Shut up! You’re not going to bully me like you did that young lady.” Obviously, Zell was referring to Michelle, and I agreed 100% with him. That program reinforced my horror at the bigotry and ill manners evidenced by Chris Matthews, and I just knew I couldn’t be a regular listener to the “Hardball” program anymore. Again, as with Dr. Laura, I check in to “Hardball” occasionally, but I’ve never listened/watched more than a few minutes. Chris Matthews is free to promote whatever opinion he chooses, but because of the vicious, partisan bias in his program, I choose to not make it regular fare for myself. It seems to me that I’d be poisoning my mind by listening to much of Mr. Matthews.

Your opinions and responses are welcome.

The Ghosts of President Woodrow Wilson and the Jim Crow Laws live in Barbara Boxer, Senator Reid, and Senator Byrd.

After watching The Documentary “Unforgiving Blackness” about the life story of Boxer Jack Jackson, we saw something that made us understand why the ghosts of President Woodrow Wilson and operation of The Jim Crow Laws live in Barbara Boxer, Senator Reid, and Senator Byrd. Time will tell if these three are as racist as they seem.

This Documentary shows the reason there was such sweeping racism. When Woodrow Wilson was running for office he promised to get rid of racism and help the cause of the Blacks in America. Instead he had people on his cabinet who rode with the KKK (which means they probably murdered someone) and he pushed forward the KKK’s vision to keep Blacks and Whites separate. He even had the Senate and his cabinet watch and approve of the filth of the movie “The Birth Of A Nation’. That means because they thought a Black Man like Jack Johnson should not be able to have more than most White people then and even most people today make and should not prefer White Women they needed to have anything they could to justify to keep him in his place. That is what Boxer, Reid and Byrd want to seem to do.

People back then wanted to keep Johnson from succeeding and that is just the ways many in Congress and in Businesses and the Senate today are showing their racism. The Woodrow Wilson’s of America were Angry that Jack Johnson didn’t say “Yes sir Massa I won’t be with a White Woman again”, and Boxer wants Rice to say “I was wrong about Iraq, Massa Boxer, and I won’t do that anymore”. People, Condi and us should stick together and let the people with dark spirits (of every ethnic back ground)go down together if they so choose not to change.

The NAACP, Maxine Waters, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Diane Watson who called Ward Connerly names because he is interracially married and every other organization or people who claim to be an advocate against racism, can no longer talk about racism, because they no longer have grounds. They say racist thingsand have never gotten fired or asked to resign. They definitely should ask Trent Lott for an apology. If they don’t care about the character of good people like Condoleeza Rice and others being degraded then they surely cannot speak about racism in any other case, because it is blatant and open racism that’s being displayed, and no one has come to their defense, I guess, there is no money in really trying to get rid of racism, so they’re not interested in when someone does something wrong to another human being no matter the skin color. Many have strived to get to where Condoleeeza Rice has gotten to and now they are trying to tear her down. The Black Racists don’t even want to see other Blacks succeed, and now everyone can see what they are made out of. They have cried wolf so many times, that now the real thing is here and they don’t know what to do, because maybe their hands are greased by the same people whose actions they claim to be against.

If it’s not evident by now, President Bush isn’t the one dividing our country it’s the like of Boxer, Reid, Kennedy, Kerry and others like them. Let’s get it straight who the real culprits are. People like Armstrong Williams, Michelle Malkin, we and many others are today’s new Abolitionists. We want to see things change for the good, and expose the evil, whoever is doing it.

Interracial Couples Are Living The Dream of Dr. Martin Luther King

It’s not easy. There is still persecution against
Interracial Couples and yet most of us endure and
still love our countrymen in spite of the way we are
sometimes treated. Most of us are living our lives
successfully. Recently The Larry Elder Show on Fox 5
in Las Vegas concentrated on mostly the tragic and
troubled interracial families. A successful large
interracial family was featured at the last minutes of
the program.

Ruth and I worked for over 20 years to eliminate that
strategy that the positive interracial subject is more
appealing than the tragic down trodden interracial
relationships that the producers on most of these
programs continue to put us in. We are in 2005 and
it’s still an issue, which in our opinion means that
the producers of these programs may hold a lot of
racism in their hearts. After all if this is the best
we can do, we surely know they don’t go around talking
about Dr. Martin Luther King’s Dream, because in our
opinion Dr. King was way ahead of the young producers
in Hollywood who may not have even been born at the
time of Dr. King. Yet we endure. They (the decision
makers) are way behind the times of what’s going on in
our society, especially when it comes to showing
accuracy in how far interracial Couples have come. All
three of our children were taught to be Colorblind and
they are all interracially married. There is a large
Interracial Family population in Las Vegas, but they
seem to feel if people don’t talk about it they won’t
have to deal with us.

But hold, on the progress is not entirely The
mainstream Media’s fault. We fault Halle Berry, Sidney
Portier, and Diana Ross who seem to be too puffed up
with their own egos to even care about if the world
makes progress in racial harmony. I’m not talking
about identifying yourself as Black so the Blacks
organizations can honor them with their NAACP Award,
because that organization has a lot to be desired. If
these celebrities really cared, when Taye Dibbs
received Death Threats simply because he’s
interracially married, we could have nipped this major
sore in the bud. Those with the connections could have
spoken out. They have something to say about race in
general, but their very lives are showing racial
equality, but now they don’t want to say anything. I
guess it’s a case of “I got mine so you have to get
yours.” That’s what we every biracial child is being
told including them and their own. Or they are just
still too scared and want to remain silent at the cost
of the little one’s future. That has made us still
have a struggle in the trenches and even if it may
seem like our voices are very faint, one day it will
ring loud.

Homosexuals in California Trying To Overturn Law Based on Interracial and Civil Rights Part II

Those of us who voted on in California and Nevada for the laws that says Marriage is between One Woman and One Man, won. But you see it’s not that simple, these people want only their rights to spread throughout our country like a plague, but they could care less about the fact that fair and square we won the rights for our values to be exhibited throughout the land we live in, and the majority which was right in this case won.

The one thing we don’t understand is why these people want to muddy up our land with this garbage, waste our tax dollars, whine to our government then say that their life should not be dictated to by our Government. Hello, we are the Government and those people in Washington D. C. represent us. I know lobbyists have many of our representatives in their back pockets and/or are puppets for them, but we who have morals and values should continue to stand up for what the foundation of our country is about.

The rhetoric doesn’t stop there. These people (not all those in the homosexual lifestyle) are not stopping there. They started out talking like they were victims, now they are telling all of us what we’d better accept. I say this is a fight to the finish.

Our world will not be destroyed by water this time like with the great flood of Noah, because God made a promise about that and he left us with a sign to prove it. This world will be destroyed by fire this time, and great will it be. Until that time, we will do everything we can to let people know the truth as best as we can explain it. It shocks us sometimes, but in spite of them we still pray for those who persecute us and despitefully use us. For further biblical references on this matter go to Amos 4:10-12, Genesis 18:20, Romans 1-18-27 and 31 and 32. We’ll talk about who has the right to judge in a future blog.
