Kappa Alpha Psi backs its brother Gonzalo P. Curiel against Trump

I'm sure by now that you have read or heard about Donald Trump's racist attacks against Judge Gonzalo P. Curiel. Whay you may not have heard and may not know is that Curiel is a member of the black fraternity Kappa Alpha Psi. Thomas L. Battles, Jr. the Grand Polemarch has released the following statement backing their brother.

Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity is proud to acknowledge that The Honorable Gonzalo P. Curiel is a member of the Fraternity having been initiated at the Alpha Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi, at Indiana University Bloomington, where in 1911, undergraduate student Elder Watson Diggs,and 9 other bold men founded the organization.

Judge Curiel is a highly regarded jurist whose distinguished academic and professional career personifies Kappa Alpha Psi's founding motto: "Achievement in Every Field of Human Endeavor." Judge Curiel, like Johnny Cochran, Earl B Dickerson and many others before him, continues to serve this nation as judges, lawyers, and supporters of the constitution.

Headquartered in Philadelphia PA, Kappa Alpha Psi is an international historically Black Greek-lettered Organization. Having been founded in an era of Jim Crow and racial segregation, Kappa Alpha Psi's 10 Founders took great pains to make sure no man would ever be excluded from membership into the fraternity due to his religion, color, creed or national origin. In fact, today Kappa Alpha Psi enjoys a diverse membership of high achieving men from all backgrounds with chapters in Germany, The Republic of Korea, Japan, and throughout Africa.

Kappa Alpha Psi stands firmly against the practice of judging a man solely by his race, creed, or national origin. We believe all Americans are entitled to the freedoms afforded by the Constitution without regards to race. Our fraternity will continue to oppose all forms of racism and rebuke those who promote this evil.

Yours in the Bond,

Thomas L. Battles, Jr.

Why what you call a terrorist doesn't matter lesson for dummies!

By George L. Cook III EMAIL

Today, an annoyed President Obama addressed Donald Trump's ridiculous statements about a Muslim ban in the wake of the Orlando shootings. He also took on those who whine because President Obama and his administration doesn't use terms like radical Islam or radical jihadist terrorism. In his own way he broke it down to say that it doesn't make a difference what we call them, they will still try to attack us. Most rational people would get the President's argument but Trump and his supporters and like ilk just don't get it. So I'm here to explain it to them using something they can understand, zombies.

We all know what zombies are and can agree that they are not very nice to be around with their nasty habit of trying to eat people. The living dead go by many names like zombies, walkers, biters, or the infected. For arguments sake, I have invented the term Radical Infected Dead Cannibal to describe the living dead.

Now must sane people know no matter what you call them things are going to end badly if you encounter them.

If a zombie bites you, you're f*cked!

If a walker bites you, you're f*cked!

If a biter bites you, you're f*cked!

If one of the infected bites you, you're f*cked!

If a Radical Infected Dead Cannibal bites you.....................................................your still f*cked.

You see, what you call a threat doesn't matter. Do you think calling a zombie a Radical Infected Dead Cannibal is going to make that zombie suddenly stop and say, 'Hey, that hurt my feelings. I'm just going to leave and not bite you now?"

Do you think the military or police would fight the dead hordes differently based on what term you chose to call them? No, those entities are still going to try to eliminate the threat.

Now even Trump supporters should have picked up the pattern there and are probably feeling an unusual feeling coming from their brain region. Don't worry that's called thinking and it won't hurt you.

How about we stop wasting time arguing a useless thing like what to call terrorist and worry about how to keep a terrorist from getting assault rifles while in the United States. You know like keeping people under incestigation for terrorism or that or own the no fly list from buying weapons? That would actually help.

NAACP MOURNS FOR ORLANDO VICTIMS

June 13, 2016

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NAACP Mourns for Orlando Victims

WASHINGTON, DC - In a gathering with leadership of the Human Rights Campaign and civil rights allies Sunday in Washington, DC, NAACP President Cornell William Brooks issued the following statement in response to the mass shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando by a heavily-armed man overnight:

“On behalf of the millions of members and supporters of the NAACP I want to assert clearly that we stand shoulder to shoulder, heart to heart and hand in hand with our brothers and sisters in the LGBTQ community.

“When you violate, when you desecrate, when you assassinate the humanity of any of us, it is a civil rights issue at the top of the NAACP’s agenda. This moment that we find ourselves in is a trying hour in the midst of this imperfect union of American democracy.

“We should remember that this is the holy month of Ramadan, as well as Pride month. It is nearly a year to the day when nine students of scripture were assassinated in a church in Charleston, S.C. When people take the lives of God’s children on the Sabbath day, people of every faith, every ethnicity and every hue have to stand up, take notice and speak out. It is just that clear.

“Our hearts are extended to every man and woman who lost their relative, a child, a loved one or a friend. As we continue to see the devastation and horror this latest act of hate has caused, we must create empathy and compassion to stand against it. This is a trying hour, a difficult hour, but we are in the midst of a season of love, where we will all stand up for the rights of one another. We continue to call for sensible gun control, and for a society that allows every person to live without persecution for being who they are.

“This day was a violation against our values as Americans. As such, we have to be clear, we have to be strong and we have to demonstrate our resolve. We will not allow the forces of hate to take down our citizens or turn us away from our devotion to a better world. We will not allow our values to be violated.”
