As we all know, the life of the African-American is a grim one as they cower in terror from the police. Systemic racism keeps them from ever having any fun, they can never even smile from the horrifying words of “The Talk” resounding in their heads, as can be seen in this video of what I believe is a “sideshow” on July 4 next to the Oakland police headquarters.

A sideshow is kind of like the running of the bulls in Pamplona, but with more people in the crowd trying to shine laser beams into the drivers’ eyes and more gunplay.
From ABC 7 News in the Bay Area:
7 shootings, sideshows, illegal fireworks: ‘Nonstop chaos’ in Oakland for July 4th, chief says
By Laura Anthony and J.R. Stone
Monday, July 5, 2021 11:27PMOakland’s top cop says Fourth of July in his city this year was among the most violent he’s seen in more than 20 years on the force.
“We’re talking about 12 hours of nonstop chaos,” said Oakland Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong.
Armstrong held a rare holiday press briefing and he wasn’t just talking about the illegal fireworks that rained down on his city, but rather the reign of terror, the violence that left at least two people dead and several others critically injured.
“My heart goes out to the families of the victims from last night,” said Armstrong. “But celebratory gunfire led to the vast majority of these shootings.”
One woman is in grave condition after one of at least seven shootings and a 16-year-old boy was hit in the head by a bullet from “celebratory” gunfire, but is expected to survive.
Another man was found dead with “blunt force” injuries, labeled a suspicious death. ..
“Although we came out prepared to address the fireworks,” said Armstrong. “Along with sideshow activity, the violence overtook all of our resources.”
The chief said his department ended up doing zero fireworks enforcement.
A massive sideshow involving 300 cars left one man with critical injuries after he was struck by a moving vehicle.

Or in my case, get a BS ticket for an "abandoned" car under the pretense that the car had "expired" plates. Even though the sticker for the plates expired at the end of the month, and I was ticketed on the first of the month.
Or get a parking ticket while parked legally in a paid spot by a lazy cop who wasn't lazy enough to write the ticket, but was too lazy to check the car was legally parked and the spot was paid for. 🙄

The album in question — The Avant-Garde, recorded in mid-1960, but not released until 1967 (Atlantic’s policy of “stockpiling” recording sessions, and then parceling them out over a period of years, was one of the reasons Coltrane left for Impulse in late 1961) — is very good, as it has Coltrane assuming the Ornette Coleman role in what was essentially the Coleman quartet at the time: Don Cherry on trumpet, Charlie Haden on bass [only for two of the five tracks; Percy Heath takes over on the other three, to no detriment] and Ed Blackwell on drums. The album also has Coltrane’s first studio recording on soprano sax, since the My Favorite Things album, which introduced his soprano playing to the larger world, wasn’t recorded until October 1960. Three of the five tracks are Coleman compositions, with Don Cherry’s “Cherryco” and Monk’s “Bemsha Swing” rounding out the program. It’s interesting to hear Coltrane take on the work of another jazz artist thought to be far more “avant garde” than he, back in 1960.
Given the other, more “mainstream” jazz albums Coltrane recorded for Atlantic during 1960, it’s unsurprising that the label would have held back The Avant-Garde, although waiting more than six years seems excessive, since by then Coltrane had released far more “out there” albums on Impulse that make The Avant-Garde seem almost quaint (e.g., Ascension, recorded in mid-1965, released in early 1966).
All in all, if you must be named after a Coltrane album, this is a good choice: how would you like to go through life being named Live at the Village Vanguard? Or Om?

The original report was that the suspect was a long-haired Latino.

However, that "long-haired Latino" description i only saw in a single article when this first hit the news. Most of them were no description at all or, sometimes with "long-hair".
The lack of specification of color or race seemed clear suggestion of "not reporting a black suspect", but i distinctly remember thinking:
"But how would the long hair work. Unless it's braids. But if it were braids they'd probably say that... so maybe not black after all".

As for vocabulary, languages differ so much that knowing some "exotic" foreign words (mostly Greek and Latin, but others, too) doesn't, in my view, signify much. Shakespeare's vocabulary was around 35,000 different words; Tolstoy's was ca. 130,000 words; Racine's was barely more than 2,000 words.
What is bigger inconsistency is that English is in many ways corrupt Latin: you got the noun corruption & the verb to corrupt (instead of regular Latin "corrumpere") & erupt (instead of Latin "erumpere").

Apparently, this version of the Cloward-Piven strategy has been effectively activated in major cities. In the original version, the strategy was to overwhelm the welfare system, causing its collapse; apparently it works even better on law enforcement. Once you get mass numbers of people breaking the law, you can’t do anything about it. And the politicians and Soros-funded DAs don’t even want to. The anti-crime policies recently proposed by Governor Cuomo and PINO Joe Biden couldn’t be more useless.
Meanwhile transgender pronoun evolution is complete. There is nowhere left to go as a growing trend is seeing ‘It/Its’ becoming more common with several sites popular with younger female audiences already allowing users to choose it.
While ‘neopronouns’ briefly leaked into the real world with things with ‘Xir/Xirs’ and such, it was a rare example of SJWism being forced to retreat as it was just too far too soon (And it also meant that people had individual pronouns it was impossible for people or institutions to keep track of.) and people just sticking to ‘They/Them’. (With no mass suicides from people who were invalidated by society refusing to go along with ‘Xir’) ‘It/Its’ avoids the problem by being just one neopronoun.

No doubt it is a dangerous activity, but fifteen animals are released to “run,” six of which are bulls and nine of which are steers. The purpose of the steers is to corral the bulls on the run and prevent them from diverting from the course or doubling back and becoming really dangerous.

> Meanwhile, they caught the Golf Pro Killer.
The story on Rust Belt City’s early-morning TV news was that some guy had been arrested for the murder of white golf pro Gene Siller (pictured) and two other men.
The reporter signalled that this was a dog-bites-man story, by not featuring a mug shot of the alleged perpetrator.
Most viewers aren’t alert enough (or lack adequate priors), and won’t grasp the meta-story. “Oh, how tragic” will be their summary.
Enjoy the show while it lasts — I’m expecting all such vids to get banned and disappeared, just like newspapers no longer run black mugshots. People will have to keep secret stashes of this genre

Physically it’s a better place to live than San Francisco much better weather, large yards instead of tiny rowhouse back yards, little mildew , plenty of jobs to avoid the commute into the city and it once had an excellent school system.

Vallejo’s about 20 minutes up the freeway from Oakland on the way to Sacramento, just across the Carquinez Bridge that spans the mouth of the Sacramento River as it empties into San Pablo Bay (the northern part of San Francisco Bay). Former Navy town, with some okay parts but a high population of underclass blacks who commit a lot of crime. Vallejo’s still a little safer than Oakland overall, but a few neighborhoods there rival some of the worse parts of Oakland for crime rates.
Sly Stone grew up there, and later on a few prominent Bay Area rappers.

Winning the Spelling Bee is more a matter of practice and memorization than it is any great intellectual feat. Anyone of slightly above average intellect who is willing to spend several thousand hours memorizing the dictionary can do it, but not many white people are interested, anymore. I think this is one of those skills, like being a cop, where you don’t want people of TOO HIGH an IQ because they would go crazy with boredom. Feynman would have NEVER wasted his time memorizing the dictionary. He would have told you, “why do you have to memorize the spelling of all these obscure words when you can just look them up?”. After several thousand hours of work, Zaila has the same skills as a $3.99 pocket dictionary. In the Moslem world, some of their better minds waste their time by memorizing the Koran. This is just as much a waste of time and talent.
Zaila is clearly the kind of person who is willing to put in the practice hours necessary to master a new skill, so bravo for her. She broke the Indian monopoly on the spelling bee. The burden is on the skeptics to prove that she was cheating. If the Bee was being won by white boys I’d be more skeptical but it was already being won by Persons of Color.

I’m kind of shocked that some people here disagree with your statement. Michael Rapaport is a truly disgusting human being on every level and you’re quite right–his “accent” is totally contrived. He is definitely a jock-sniffing, black-worshipping wigger extraordinaire. His accent, though, is more his attempt to convey that he’s some working-class salt-of-the-earth NYC Italian or Irish street-smart tough guy/corner-bar sage. In fact, he’s “the son of June Brody, a New York radio personality, and David Rapaport, a radio executive who was the general manager of the All-Disco format at New York radio station WKTU Disco 92…. He is Ashkenazi Jewish.” He’s a Jewish wigger, and his parents were proto-Jewish-wiggers. And it’s funny–the blacks he tries to ingratiate himself with hate and mock him, as do genuinely sharp, cool Jews, like Dave Portnoy who may have basically destroyed Rapaport’s career.
He was also a little bitch with Kevin Durant a few months ago, publicly posting private DM's between the two of them.
I'm glad you mentioned he was Jewish. Nothing worse than a Jewish wigger, but then again his father invented Disco 92 in New York, so maybe it's in the blood.

Well, the victims were already reported as one white and one Latino. So on that it would point to probably a latino perpetrator.
However, that “long-haired Latino” description i only saw in a single article when this first hit the news. Most of them were no description at all or, sometimes with “long-hair”.
The lack of specification of color or race seemed clear suggestion of “not reporting a black suspect”, but i distinctly remember thinking:
“But how would the long hair work. Unless it’s braids. But if it were braids they’d probably say that… so maybe not black after all”.

I hate to say it, but due to the demands of the diversity cult, it is damn near natural to be suspect when blacks win anything these days (especially when it is a “historic” first). The thumb always appears to be on the scale. In this case though I think it might be legit. I saw the spelling bee and the young girl seemed sharp and very awkward, if not autistic. Given the fact that I believe she is homeschooled, and has not been subjected to the values of the public school system, there is a decent chance that she legitimately applied herself and won on merit.
The problem is that the usual suspects will stand up in Congress and demand more money until every black kid in America wins the spelling bee. You know, since one can win, all should win.
We then have to start explaining statistical distributions, modal man and outlier man, etc.; after which they will state, "so all black kids are outliers, and all White kids are modal. Thanks for the ammunition as I journey on telling truth to your facts."

Jazz started as street music. Meaning literally on streets and in gathering places of low social standing. Bars, clubs, “gin joins,” barrelhouses, etc.
Like blues, except city as opposed to rural.
There is no meaningful definition of saloon music that would exclude jjazz.
Unless the saloon happened to be out West catering to cowboy music. But Sinatra was not a country-Western singer.

Back in the ‘80s an Eastern L-1011 lost all three of its engines on a short hop from Miami to Nassau. The captain, allegedly with panic in his voice, announced that “Ditching is imminent.” (The plane was gliding at about 10,000 feet at the time.) A senior flight attendant interpreted this as a warning that the plane was about to crash and ordered the passengers to brace for impact. Shortly thereafter, the pilots managed to restore enough engine power to return to Miami but never bothered to give any further instructions to the passengers. Everyone remained in the crash position – hunched over with their heads buried in their laps – for at least ten minutes until the senior flight attendant looked out a window and saw that they were about to land.
There were some lawsuits filed over that incident, I believe.

As for vocabulary, languages differ so much that knowing some "exotic" foreign words (mostly Greek and Latin, but others, too) doesn't, in my view, signify much. Shakespeare's vocabulary was around 35,000 different words; Tolstoy's was ca. 130,000 words; Racine's was barely more than 2,000 words.

The poet Robert Lowell was a notoriously haphazard speller.
The rapper, Bryan Rhoden, should have been in prison stemming from a 2017 incident when he and another fellow got into a dispute over a drug deal and shot each other. Aggravated assault (there is no attempted murder in Georgia) should have kept him in for 20 years, until 2037. But no, they somehow let him go.
https://www.ajc.com/news/crime--law/cops-double-shooting-georgia-state-campus-started-with-drug-deal/dSWKBoLlC5K6KGOXn0ySQN/
Then , in 2020, he led police on a 150 mph chase thru heavy traffic - this should have been good for another few years:
https://www.pharostribune.com/news/local_news/article_f181e95e-e63a-11ea-aeaf-1398d1f42d2e.html
But no they let him go again.
And then within hours of the murder, Rhoden was arrested by the Chamblee Police Department on unrelated charges, including DUI, driving a vehicle without insurance, false identification and more. But they let him go once more. Only when they connected him to the murders did they arrest him again. I doubt he is getting out any time soon, but meanwhile three men are dead.
It's tiresome and expensive (and "racis" to have to keep all these (mostly but not only black) scumbags locked up for long sentences but that's really what needs to be done. They are not capable of rehabilitation (certainly not in prison which is more like a school for criminals) and when you let them go they just go on to worse offenses. But not doing it costs the lives of many innocents whose deaths could have been prevented.Replies: @Gabe Ruth, @black sea
The police convinced Rhoden to come into the station by telling him over the phone that in his DUI arrest, some of his possessions had been taken from his car by the police, and they wanted to return them to him.
On the heels of having committed a triple homicide, you walk into the police station to pick up a few belongings?
Totally believable. Watch some back episodes of First 48 in places like Atlanta.
That reminds me of the old quote attributed to John Wayne (though possibly just a line from one of his films):
Life is hard, it's even harder if you're stupid.
This deserves a special iSteve blog post.
The Atlanta area golf pro and several others who were "found murdered" after the pro went out late the in day to investigate a pickup truck on one of the greens was killed by -- wait for it -- "an aspiring rapper."
Two bodies of other murder victims were in the pickup truck bed. The poor pro just happened upon that while the rapper was on the course, doing what exactly? Not sure. Maybe looking for a bunker to use for burial?
This happened a few days ago and I was suspicious about the identity of the killer since there was nothing said about his race or who he was. They were "looking" for him and he was subsequently arrested for another crime. They knew who to look for (probably from the truck left behind.)
When the Soviet style media in the US fails to mention certain facts or basic information in a crime/place like Atlanta, we can conclude and infer other "facts" of relevance.
"Be on the lookout for um, a person, wanted for a heinous murder of several people at a golf course. This is a male person, probably, who uh, might be dangerous. This 'person' might be someone hard to see in the dark."
I have recently noticed more Soviet journalism crime stories where the perp is specifically identified as "white" even though race isn't a factor in the crime. But "Black" is never used when the perps are African American. Soviet style apartheid "reporting."Replies: @Jack D, @gandydancer
The truck was stolen from the oldest victim. Maybe a robbery attempt in the golf course parking lot. Why the perp thought driving onto the 10th hole was a good way to get away is a mystery, but that’s the way it goes when dealing with the dullest knives in the drawer.
