Tinker:
This constant ugly smile from people who are using other people fears that have experience racial tension, is starting to look like Rapunzel in Rumpelstiltskin weaving straw into gold fairy tales.
Because that old South unfair racial horror show from Americas past has long since became very dated, and has nothing at all to do with black people today. No! The today people of a darker color are suffering from the direct hand of the people with the phoney smiles instead.
Pushing the black people repressed feelings of human dignity around like a play toy is now the sin of the black taskmasters like the NAACP, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and now Barack Obama.
Helping people to destroy themselves knowing better is what the black men with no shame or love for their own brother and sisters are doing. They are the guys being very disrespectful to their own race of people.
Men and women who have tried to teach their fellow man a little knowledge of mankind's history. Knows very well that bad parents of some unlucky children is the problem in teaching the unlucky child, not the color of their skin. The color of a person skin has very little to do with our mentality and emotional health.
We have all become very tired of this bull talk show over the color of other people skin. If I was a dark brown person living around this kind of bull talk today I would be very upset with these selfsame black people becoming the racist taskmasters using the slavery history that has come and gone.
That because of their infernal excuses to blame everyone else that they are denying me my privacy and my simply daily human dignity that I should be free to feel. That they do not speak for me and just who then do they think they are?
I would simply tell them race merchants to go peddle their papers somewhere else. That if they really don't want to help, and not use, the people that has their same skin color. That their extortion behavior is their problem and that I am not even going to vote them as the town or city dog catcher, so leave me alone.

Black America’s real problem isn’t white racism
In the aftermath of the acquittal of George Zimmerman, Eric
Holder, Al Sharpton and Ben Jealous of the NAACP are calling on the
black community to rise up in national protest.
Yet they know — and Barack Obama, whose silence speaks volumes, knows — nothing is going to happen.
“Stand-Your-Ground” laws in Florida and other states are not going to be repealed. George Zimmerman is not going to be prosecuted for a federal “hate crime” in the death of Trayvon Martin.
The result of all this ginned-up rage that has produced vandalism and violence is simply going to be an ever-deepening racial divide.
Consider the matter of crime and fear of crime.
From listening to cable channels and hearing Holder, Sharpton, Jealous and others, one would think the great threat to black children today emanates from white vigilantes and white cops.
Hence, every black father must have a “conversation” with his son, warning him not to resist or run if pulled over or hassled by a cop.
Make the wrong move, son, and you may be dead is the implication.
But is this the reality in Black America?
When Holder delivered his 2009 “nation-of-cowards” speech blaming racism for racial separation, Manhattan Institute’s Heather Mac Donald suggested that our attorney general study his crime statistics.
In New York from January to June 2008, 83 percent of all gun assailants were black, according to witnesses and victims, though blacks were only 24 percent of the population. Blacks and Hispanics together accounted for 98 percent of all gun assailants. Forty-nine of every 50 muggings and murders in the Big Apple were the work of black or Hispanic criminals.
New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly confirms Mac Donald’s facts. Blacks and Hispanics commit 96 percent of all crimes in the city, he says, but only 85 percent of the stop-and-frisks are of blacks and Hispanics.
And these may involve the kind of pat-downs all of us have had at the airport.
Is stop-and-frisk the work of racist cops in New York, where the crime rate has been driven down to levels unseen in decades?
According to Kelly, a majority of his police force, which he has been able to cut from 41,000 officers to 35,000, is now made up of minorities.
But blacks are also, per capita, the principal victims of crime. Would black fathers prefer their sons to grow up in Chicago, rather than low-crime New York City, with its stop-and-frisk policy?
Fernando Mateo, head of the New York taxicab union, urges his drivers to profile blacks and Hispanics for their own safety: “The God’s honest truth is that 99 percent of the people that are robbing, stealing, killing these drivers are blacks and Hispanics.”
Mateo is what The New York Times would describe as “a black Hispanic” Yet he may be closer to the ‘hood than Holder, who says he was stopped by police when running to a movie — in Georgetown.
Which raises a relevant question. Georgetown is an elitist enclave of a national capital that has been ruled by black mayors for half a century. It’s never had a white mayor.
Is Holder saying we’ve got racist cops in the district where Obama carried 86 percent of the white vote and 97 percent of the black vote? And his son should fear the white cops in Washington, D.C.?
What about interracial crime, white-on-black attacks and the reverse?
After researching the FBI numbers for “Suicide of a Superpower,” this writer concluded: “An analysis of ‘single offender victimization figures’ from the FBI for 2007 finds blacks committed 433,934 crimes against whites, eight times the 55,685 whites committed against blacks. Interracial rape is almost exclusively black on white — with 14,000 assaults on white women by African Americans in 2007. Not one case of a white sexual assault on a black female was found in the FBI study.”
Though blacks are outnumbered 5-to-1 in the population by whites, they commit eight times as many crimes against whites as the reverse. By those 2007 numbers, a black male was 40 times as likely to assault a white person as the reverse.
If interracial crime is the ugliest manifestation of racism, what does this tell us about where racism really resides — in America?
And if the FBI stats for 2007 represent an average year since the Tawana Brawley rape-hoax of 1987, over one-third of a million white women have been sexually assaulted by black males since 1987 — with no visible protest from the civil rights leadership.
Today, 73 percent of all black kids are born out of wedlock. Growing up, these kids drop out, use drugs, are unemployed, commit crimes and are incarcerated at many times the rate of Asians and whites — or Hispanics, who are taking the jobs that used to go to young black Americans.
Are white vigilantes or white cops really Black America’s problem?
Obama seems not to think so. The Rev. Sharpton notwithstanding, he is touting Ray Kelly as a possible chief of homeland security.

- 'Sin tax' states don't want you to repent These 12 states get the highest percentage of revenue from taxes on alcohol, cigarettes & betting. Find out if your state is among them, & how much it makes.
Sin to win
Among
tax levies, so-called sin taxes are among the most controversial.
Critics argue that adding costs to alcohol, cigarettes, racetrack
betting and the like unfairly hurts lower-income people. Proponents say
the taxes promote health -- making cigarettes more expensive, for
example, encourages people to stop smoking -- which seems to be true,
according to many studies. States say they put the revenue to good use,
for schools and health-care services.Here are the 12 U.S. states that derive the greatest percentage of total tax revenue from "sin." In many cases, states with the lowest sin taxes actually haul in the most sin-based revenue, as they become meccas for fallen shoppers from across the state line.
Figures include tax revenue from tobacco, alcohol and pari-mutuels (betting, usually on horse racing, dog racing and jai-alai) provided by the State Government Tax Collections survey of the U.S. Census Bureau. The survey does not include taxes from gambling, prostitution (where legal) and other vices because state governments account for such tax revenue in multiple ways, according to the Census Bureau. Data was initially compiled by Bloomberg Rankings.

LSU OC Cam Cameron 104.5 Espn interview (Posted on 7/22/13 at 5:19 pm)
Cliff notes from the interview: - Mett is ready to go after having a year in the SEC under his belt - we are going to be a vertical passing team. If we can go vertical every play we will. - he's making sure the o-line and QB is in every film session and meeting together to have that special QB and O line bond - he will be coaching from the box - he is preparing all of the QBs to be starters. Rivers, Rettig, and Jennings are fighting for that back up role. -Rettig is one of the most improved players coming out of the summer LINK |

Dandy Don's LSU Sports Report
It was great hearing from many of you about the 2013 LSU football unit reviews that we began posting yesterday.
Today we'll continue the series by looking at wide receivers and tight
ends, and as always your input and feedback is appreciated.However, before continuing with the unit reviews, I'd like to direct you to this new “interview-in-progress” with Mike Detillier that he and I have been working on via email. I sent Mike an email with various questions, and he'll supply me with answers throughout the week that I can add to the interview. Mike started by telling me his thoughts on LSU running back commit Sione Palelei and on the commitment of D’haquille Williams to Auburn. Check it out here, and check back throughout the week as more questions and answers are posted.
As we continue on with our LSU football unit-by-unit breakdown, today we’ll dive into the wide receivers and tight ends. Coaches Adam Henry (WR) and Steve Ensminger (TE) return to lead their respective units for the 2013 season. Henry begins his second season in charge of the wide outs, and has no shortage of quality athletes to choose from. He returns a core group of veterans as well as some newcomers who should make their mark before the season is over. Ensminger enters his fourth year with the tight ends and also returns some guys that have snaps under their belt, as well as a couple of newcomers that should push for early playing time. The ability of offensive coordinator Cam Cameron to leverage the wide outs, and more importantly the tight ends, into his passing scheme will be a major factor in improving the Tigers’ passing game which is in desperate need of a spark.
The wide receiver group this season will be led by juniors Odell Beckham Jr., and Jarvis Landry. Beckham and Landry are both very talented players, but both can improve in certain facets of their game. Beckham struggled a bit last year as he tried to assume the role as the number one guy, taking over for Rueben Randle. He showed flashes of big play potential, but needs to improve on his consistency catching the ball. I look for Beckham to have a much better year as Coach Cameron puts him in better positions to use his breakaway speed. Landry has been more consistent in catching the football, but I think he struggled at times gaining separation. I would like to see Landry utilized more in the middle of the field as he has shown the ability to make the tough grab when lined up in the slot. The addition of JUCO transfer Quantavious Leslie (Jr.) and redshirt freshman Travin Dural on the outside should allow for Landry to slip inside more. Leslie and Dural bring the Tiger staff that big presence on the outside that can stretch the field and hopefully open up the underneath routes against opposing defenses. Seniors Kadron Boone and James Wright, along with true freshman John Diarse, also will add quality depth to the position. I also believe that Armand Williams (Jr.) is a guy that may finally see the field in certain situations.
At tight end, Travis Dickson (Jr.) and Dillon Gordon (So.) return as the leaders of a tight end group that wasn’t really a big factor in previous seasons. Not since the 2007 season when Dickson’s older brother Richard Dickson was a big threat have the Tigers effectively used the tight ends in the passing game. JUCO transfer Logan Stokes (Jr.) and incoming freshman Desean Smith are two guys that should see significant playing time this year but for different reasons. Stokes is a big body that should help in the running game, while Smith is someone I’m really excited about as a receiving threat. Smith has the ability to be a matchup nightmare and I have to think Cameron is chomping at the bit to get him lined up on a linebacker in certain sets. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Smith burst onto the scene this year in a big way. There just won’t be many linebackers (or even some nickel corners) that will be able to keep pace with the 6-4, 226 pounder.
In recruiting news, LSU looks to be close to securing the commitment of Evangel defensive back Santos Ramirez, who checks in at No. 18 on my list of the Top Louisiana Football Prospects for 2014. Ramirez was offered after a strong showing at last week’s camp where he matched up well against several elite wide outs. Ramirez had kind of flown under the radar in most recruiting circles, but after such a strong outing his recruitment has really taken off. There were some reports of his commitment to LSU yesterday, but they were a little premature, although I do think his verbal will come soon.
As we now find ourselves 39 days to the first game of the year, let’s continue our jersey countdown with a current Tiger that wears No. 39 – safety Jerqwinick Sandolph. Pronounced “Jer-qwin-ick”, Sandolph enters his second year with the Tigers and saw playing time last year as true freshman, primarily on special teams. The native of Boutte, LA (Hahnville High School) is a very physical player who will press for playing time this year at safety and will once again be a staple on the special teams coverage units. Sandolph was not as highly rated by the scouting services as some of his peers in the defensive backfield, but that did not stop Coach Miles from offering him late in the 2011 recruiting process. Jerqwinick is my vote for the team’s most unique name, and it also seems to be a popular topic amongst his teammates. Here is a pretty cool video from last year’s Media Day filmed by WAFB in Baton Rouge’s Jacque Doucet. At the end of the clip, Doucet asks a few members of the team if they know how to spell Jerqwinick, and the results are a fun and lighthearted behind the scenes view of how the team interacts with each other.
As I mentioned yesterday, Les Miles made the rounds in the ESPN studious for the annual coaches “carwash.” Here is a video of Miles, Texas A&M’s Kevin Sumlin, and Georgia’s Mark Richt discussing topics such as the unbalanced SEC schedule, the SEC’ image, and the emergence of no-huddle offenses.
