I'm Waiting for the American social push back on the racism shrill hustlers any day now.


Tinker:

How sick is my neighborhood becoming because the racism business in America seems to be booming


Now I am starting to hear some wringing-wet black man and women just dripping in the racism of the color in their imagination, that is running away with their mentality. Nowhere can I see a reasonable moment or pause in their thinking, so they can start seeing the real weather around them. That there is not a racist tornado outside, but in truth just another sunny day.

That the reality of most of the American citizens are not even thinking or noticing the color of their skin. And if they do it is only because of the hypnotism from the hot and bothered black speakers charging racism, like the LSU professor who keep pointing to his dark color.

Charging most of the American people that he is talking to with having subconscious racism. That men like Josh Zimmerman are the boogie men to black people. I am truly taken aback to see just how far that the racism hustlers are willing to go, talking like that. Professing that the world around them are mostly a population of
racism in just about everything that the American people do and say.

If this phoney fairy tail last much longer I am afraid that guys like this LSU
professor who keeps shouting racism about our American citizens social relationship in America, is going to in really start harming himself and simply start drifting his healthy reasoning ability further away, fading him away from reality forever.

It is rather shocking to me over just how close that our American government became in making the Josh Zimmerman self defense story, into a political racism trial. That the local Florida police there said that the Zimmerman case was not a racism crime.

But the Washington DC political establishment pushed the Zimmerman case into the criminal superior court of the state of Florida anyway. That this Obama administration kept pushing the Zimmerman case into a political trial that became amazing and astonishing to me.

I'm waiting for the American social push back on the racism shrill hustlers any day now.

Eric Holder Implies That Obama Administration Will File Charges Against George Zimmerman




Warner Todd Huston

July 15, 2013 3:19pm PST
Now that we know that a Florida jury has determined that George Zimmerman is innocent of a malicious, racially motivated murder, Obama’s Department of Justice is looking to give a political pay off to his race-hustling supporters by looking into filing federal charges against Zimmerman for “civil rights violations.”

The most politicized Attorney General in U.S. history, Eric Holder, addressed the 100th birthday of the black sorority Delta Sigma Theta today, July 15, and made to assuage the hate of those that want to see Zimmerman hang regardless of the facts of the case.

Holder assured the sorority members as well as those outside looking for an unwarranted revenge against the “white” Zimmerman–a race-baiting canard in that Zimmerman is half Hispanic, not “white.” Holder said he is “mindful” of their rage and is looking to see what he can do to pander to them.

Already in some cities small-scale riots are bursting out over the innocent verdict. And the riots are happening in cities that have nothing at all to o with the actual Florida community involved in this story, I must point out. Then there are racist groups like the New Black Panther Party that are trying desperately to get riots started.

Anyway, here are Holder’s remarks at the convention:

Barbara Walters may be on her way to retirement next year, but she can still grab a high-profile interview when she wants to. Her latest big "get" is a sit-down with the parents of George Zimmerman.

Walters' interview with Robert and Gladys Zimmerman is set to air Monday night on "World News With Diane Sawyer" and "Nightline," and will air Tuesday on "Good Morning America."

The topics of the interview are expected to include Zimmerman's acquittal in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, the weekend demonstrations that occurred after the verdict and Zimmerman's plans for life after the trial.

PHOTOS: Celebrities by The Times

The verdict, which was read on Saturday evening, was viewed by more than 10 million people on CNN, MSNBC and Fox News. That audience exceeded the combined viewership of the broadcast networks that evening, which had a combined audience of 9 million.

Zimmerman, who was found not guilty of second-degree murder in the death of teenager Martin, is in the process of suing NBC News, which has admitted fault in deceptively editing a recording of a 911 call in which Zimmerman appeared to state Martin's race unprompted. In fact, Zimmerman was asked about the teenager's ethnicity.

The network fired a reporter and producer, but Zimmerman sued the network in December for defamation.

Zimmerman is Not Guilty — What About the Media?

Not Guilty
There are certain things polite people are not supposed to say out loud, and certainly not in public.  I thought of this while listening to what passes for television analysis after the George Zimmerman verdict came in.

First, let’s acknowledge that Trayvon Martin’s death is a tragedy.  I’ll go so far as to say it was a tragedy that should never have happened.  I think George Zimmerman, the “wannabe cop,” was too vigilant that night.

I also think George Zimmerman profiled Trayvon Martin – and profiled him because he was a young black man in a predominantly white neighborhood.  But what polite people don’t do in public is talk about why George Zimmerman was suspicious of 17-year old Trayvon Martin.

The morning after the verdict came in, Ben Jealous, who heads the NAACP, told Bob Schieffer on Face the Nation that, “Too many people in our country use color as grounds for suspicion.”

He’s right.  But what he didn’t get into is that they do it for a reason.  And Bob Schieffer, a white man from Texas, wasn’t about to press the head of the NAACP about why skin color might be grounds for suspicion.

The sad fact is that while African Americans make up only about 12 or 13 percent of the population, and young black men considerably less than that, they commit a disproportionate amount of crime.  This is no secret.  Everybody knows it’s true, even anchormen and other white liberals.  So when Zimmerman saw this black kid in his mostly white, gated community, he did some quick, reflexive calculations — and thought the boy might be up to no good.  Yes, he did use color as a ground for suspicion.

That doesn’t make Trayvon Martin a criminal, of course, but it also doesn’t make George Zimmerman a racist.  He had the same thoughts about Trayvon Martin that most of us would have had, whether we admit it or not.

If I were black I wouldn’t like this stereotyping.  I’d say Trayvon Martin had as much right to be inside the gates of that community as George Zimmerman did.  He shouldn’t have been looked upon as a potential criminal.

But he was looked upon with suspicion because, as painful as it is to acknowledge, he looked like too many other black kids in hoodies who do bad things.  Black people know this better than anyone else. They’re the victims of most black crime. Remember what Jesse Jackson said several years back.  “There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery. Then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved.” Does that make the Reverend Jackson a racist – or a realist?

Television host Tavis Smiley, who also is black, was also on television Sunday morning.  He told George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s This Week,  “For many Americans [the verdict] is another piece of evidence of the incontrovertible contempt that this nation often shows and displays for black men.”


Stephanopoulos, being a polite white liberal man, of course didn’t say, “Black men are doing a pretty good job of showing incontrovertible contempt for each other in our nation.  Have you checked the crime statistics for Chicago on any given weekend? The Ku Klux Klan isn’t killing those young black men.  Black thugs are.”

So-called civil rights leaders, like Al Sharpton, painted a picture of a black teenager walking home and being attacked by a white vigilante for absolutely no reason except that the boy was black – and, of course, because the shooter was sort of white.  If Sharpton and the others talked about the fight that immediately led up to the shooting, I missed it.  Instead, they preferred to peddle a fairy tale version of what happened.  They left out the ugly stuff – that there was plenty of reason to believe Trayvon Martin was on top of George Zimmerman pummeling his head into the concrete sidewalk right before Zimmerman fired his gun.  And, of course, none of the mostly white, mostly liberal anchors, said, “Hold on, you’re leaving something very important out of your story.”

This is what is known as showing good racial manners.  It’s how white people behave to show that they’re not bigots like all those other white people.  Never mind that treating black people like delicate flowers is a kind of soft bigotry all by itself.  All that matters is that white people – white liberals, mostly – feel better … about themselves.

Another recurring theme coming from liberal analysts, black and white, after the verdict was that in America we don’t put the same value on black lives as we do on white lives.  That’s certainly true when it comes to the liberal media.

Every weekend in big cities across America numerous black kids shoot and often kill each other.  None of these stories get very much national media attention and none of them get wall-to-wall TV coverage the way the Zimmerman trial did.  Is this because liberal white journalists don’t put the same value on black lives as they do on white lives?  It sure looks that way.

Let’s end by stating the obvious:  The single biggest reason the trial got so much attention is because it played into a narrative, a false one to be sure, but one that many blacks and many white liberals love to perpetuate.  It’s the Great American Drama about how white people get away with not only oppressing black people, but even get away with killing them.  Isn’t that what Tavis Smiley meant when he said, ““For many Americans [the verdict] is another piece of evidence of the incontrovertible contempt that this nation often shows and displays for black men.”

Someone needs to tell Mr. Smiley, the Reverend Sharpton, the civil rights establishment and white liberals both in and out of the media that we are no longer living in 1955 Mississippi. If there is a crime involving two races today, the victim is most likely going to be white and the criminal is most likely going to be black – not the other way around.  That may be one more thing polite people aren’t supposed to say out loud – and certainly not in public.

Stores use technology to ‘spy’ on customers

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — We all know stores use cameras to make sure you aren’t taking something from them, but do you know how they may be using cameras and other technology to take something from you?

From mannequins whose eyes are fitted with video cameras, to tracking your cellphone as you walk through a store, companies are even using facial recognition technology that gives a store unique information about their customers base.

It’s all being used, mostly in test markets.
Some says it’s efficient, others say it’s scary.

“It’s new technology, but it’s certainly not a new technique,” said David Cecil, owner of marketing company Johnny Lightening Strikes Again.

For years, marketing companies have been collecting data on consumers. The more knowledge they have, the better they can cater to your wants and needs. But this new technology is making collecting data even easier and much more invasive says Doug Bonney, Legal Director with the ACLU.

“You know spying on your customers in ways that they have idea that you’re doing it is creepy,” Bonney said.

Stores like Target, Nordstrom and Home Depot use a company called Euclid Analytics to track your every move inside their stores.

“There are two ways to track people. One is just by the normal signal that you’re cellphone sends out. In addition, if you have a smartphone though, they can track you by getting you to log on to their WiFi network, then that gives the retailer increased ways to track you and to send you information about deals,” Bonney said.

How does it work?

Every person carrying a WiFi-enabled smartphone, sometimes not even logged on to the store’s WiFi network, is automatically tracked — each footstep recorded as they walk through the store. Ultimately, the store knows what departments a shopper visits and how long they spend there.

“That’s kind of scary, you know,” Bonney said.

But Cecil says the more a company knows about their consumers, the better they can reach them.

“There are a lot of benefits, even from a consumer standpoint for some of this information that companies are able to learn about our behaviors and our likes and dislikes,” Cecil said.

Cecil also says it’s just a way for the retail to avoid costly marketing mistakes.

Other stores are using eye-level cameras to track your eye movements and reactions to displays and products. One company called “Almax” equips mannequins with camera eyes to gather facial recognition data, giving stores unique data about their shoppers.

“That’s a business model that is certainly not new. Its been happening since kind of the dawn of consumerism as a whole. It’s just that we’re able to fine tune that a little more and have a lot more accurate information as to what people like, what people are searching for, even where people are,” Cecil said.

Bonney says the problem with this is there are no laws that require people be notified that companies are tracking such information.

“Usually when information is there, it will be misused. That’s the real problem with collecting lots of information on people without any regulation at all. It can be misused and eventually it will be misused,” Bonney said.

Who uses this technology?

Nordstrom told FOX 4 they only used Euclid in 17 test markets around the country and all of the tracking was anonymous. They are no longer using the company.

Home Depot also released a statement saying they no longer use Euclid Analytics to track customers.

Many other stores didn’t return calls for comment and Target said they won’t disclose what third-party companies they are using to collect data on their customers.

ENGSTER: Statistically Speaking

July 16, 2013   -   © 2013 Tiger Rag

LSU is the Team of the Century Thanks to Miles and Saban



By JIM ENGSTER
Tiger Rag Featured Columnist


Nine of the 14 SEC football coaches are the highest paid public officials in their respective states. Joining the fraternity of coaches in the wildly lucrative sport in the most competitive conference in NCAA history is a ticket to millions in compensation and a lifetime of security.

Nick Saban and Steve Spurrier were the first SEC mentors to crack seven figures in annual salary. Saban received a five-year, $6 million package from LSU a month before the close of the Twentieth Century. Fourteen years later, all 14 head coaches in the league are comfortably in the seven-figure range.

The compensation for being an SEC football boss is so extreme that Saban and Les Miles would be insulted if they were told they looked like a million bucks.

Saban earns $5.3 million in base pay at Tuscaloosa while Miles, whose contract extends through 2019 when he will be 66, has a base salary of $4.3 million. Considering that these men have accounted for half of the last ten BCS championships, they may be underpaid when measured by the dollars flowing through the athletic coffers at Alabama and LSU by virtue of the success of the Crimson Tide and Fighting Tigers.

Much is made of the demand to succeed in a pressure cooker league, but Miles, Saban and the rest of their SEC colleagues have no threat of failing to feed their families or not sending their children to the finest schools. The biggest threat to a coach at a BCS football crazy campus is that his career will quickly falter without feeding the beast and winning enough games to keep fans and alumni satisfied.

The shelf life for football czars in the SEC is shorter than the average tenure of presidents of the United States. Since the SEC began in 1933, the average time in office for 14 leaders of the free world is 6.07 years. The average term of service for current SEC head football coaches is 5.07 years.

Eight of the 14 mentors at SEC football programs have served less than four years. Les Miles is tied for third in the league with nine years on the job at LSU.

Here are the present SEC grid bosses and their years at their respective universities.

Coach                                    School                                  Tenure
Mark Richt                          Georgia                                13 years
Gary Pinkel                         Missouri                               13 years
Les Miles                             LSU                                        9 years
Steve Spurrier                   South Carolina                   9 years
Nick Saban                          Alabama                              7 years
Dan Mullen                         Mississippi State               5 years
James Franklin                  Vanderbilt                           3 years
Will Muschamp                 Florida                                  3 years
Kevin Sumlin                      Texas A&M                         2 years
Hugh Freeze                      Ole Miss                               2 years
Bret Bielema                      Arkansas                              1 year
Butch Jones                        Tennessee                          1 year
Gus Malzahn                      Auburn                                 1 year
Mark Stoops                      Kentucky                             1 year

As salaries have escalated, longevity on the sidelines has decreased. Forty years ago when the SEC was 40 years old, it was more common for coaches to last longer at league schools. But that was half a lifetime ago for a league that boasts seven consecutive BCS titles.

This is how the conference coaching fraternity looked in 1973.

Coach                                    School                                  Tenure
Shug Jordan                       Auburn                                 23 years
Bear Bryant                        Alabama                              16 years
Charles McClendon             LSU                                      12 years
Vince Dooley                     Georgia                                 10 years
Doug Dickey                       Florida                                  4 years
Bill Battle                             Tennessee                          4 years
Billy Kinard                          Ole Miss                               3 years
Steve Sloan                        Vanderbilt                           1 year
Bob Tyler                             Mississippi State               1 year
Fran Curci                            Kentucky                             1 year

The average term of coaching service at SEC institutions in 1973 was 7.5 years, more than 30 percent higher than today. It was affected by the staying power of legends named Jordan, Bryant, McClendon and Dooley, but schools were more patient with their football coaches then than now.

It is doubtful that McClendon would have lasted past 1975 in today’s environment. Between the tenth game of 1973 and the eleventh game of 1975, LSU produced a record on the field of 9-15-1 (LSU was later awarded a win over Mississippi State by forfeit in ‘75 due to NCAA infractions). Charlie Mac rebounded to go 23-11-1 in his last three seasons, but that opportunity was made possible because of a patient athletic director in Carl Maddox, who left it to his successor to make Mac pack.

When Saban arrived in Baton Rouge in November of 1999, LSU had endured eight losing seasons in its previous eleven campaigns. Since then, LSU has reigned supreme in the Twenty-First Century league standings.

2000-2012 SEC Records

School                                    Record                  Percent
1.... LSU                                  133-37                   78.2
2.....Florida                              126-42                   75.0
3..... Georgia                             126-44                   74.1
4..... Alabama                            114-52                   68.7
5..... Auburn                               113-53                   68.1
6.....South Carolina                   99-63                     61.1
7.....Tennessee                          99-65                     60.4
8..... Arkansas                              96-66                     59.3
9..... Ole Miss                               76-82                     48.1
10....Mississippi State                   66-91                     42.0
11....Kentucky                               63-94                     40.1
12....Vanderbilt                             52-104                   33.3

LSU has produced the best record in America’s most grueling conference and has played the strongest league schedule. Miles has won 85 games in eight seasons and shows few signs of letting up despite a contract that will carry him past the age of Medicare.

Because of Miles and Saban, the Golden Age of LSU football has continued long enough that today’s entering freshmen were not even in kindergarten when the Tigers last endured a losing season.

College football players like Les Miles:

College football players are bigger, faster, and more of them in the great arenas spread across America. Les Miles made all the successful intangibles come together to win the BCS championship in 2007.

If a man can coach a college football team into becoming the number one college football team in all of America once. Then of course Les Miles can do it again.
 

Coach School Tenure

Mark Richt Georgia 13 years
Gary Pinkel Missouri 13 years
Les Miles LSU 9 years
Steve Spurrier South Carolina 9 years
Nick Saban Alabama 7 years

When a head coach like Les Miles hires a new LSU offensive coordinator like Cam Cameron it is because the top five is simply not good enough

Then I think that one of the missing intangible that was missing, or holding LSU back has been replaced. So with the great talent and passion of this 2013 college LSU football players and with the addition of Cam Camron that these teamwork ability’s can become very handy when LSU makes the final push towards #1 again.

When your revised your 2014 Statistically Speaking columns it could very well read - Les Miles new and improved LSU record:

School Record Percent

1. LSU 147-37 79.8
3 - BCS Chrystal Balls


No! there is no one doubting at all that Les Miles passion for the LSU fighting tiger football players is nothing but fire when it get down to the nitty gritty eating grass hands in the dirt moving forward college football coach.
