Racism in Oklahoma City on Christmas Eve (Dec 24, 2010)


This is RAW FOOTAGE, Please excuse the shakiness of the video. The iPhone 4 is a great video capture tool, but it's hard to hold still when it's cold out.

This is why OKC need a internet News Broadcast, Did you see this on KFOR, KOCO, KWTV or on the "Tabloid" Fox 25?

Evil racism was on display at the Oklahoma City metro bus terminal downtown on Christmas Eve, 2010. Watch as this group of young men work to teach bus riders about God and race.

When asked about their organization, and whether they have a pamphlet or contact information, the response was quick and threatening: "I don't have nothing for you, white man."

Let me be clear: they have the right to say these things in a public place, and I support that right fully. This is not documentation of an illegal act that should be regulated by government.

This is a matter to be discussed in churches and workplaces across our city. It must be a conversation about whether racism still exists in our modern world, and whether we understand it when we see it with our own eyes.

Who will condemn this for the racism that it is? Who will not call this racist?

If you know these individuals, or the organization that they represent, please leave a comment and I will update this post with further information.

Some of the greatest hits from this video:

"God hates Christmas."

"The white man has set up laws where the faggots and lesbians have rights, and parades."

"The white man is against nature, and we prove that out of scripture."

"The white man is in power now because he is a thief and a murderer."

"God hates America, and he will destroy it."

"The white man has never taught you about God. He lied, and told you he was God."

Oklahoma County voters
to face decision on tax for jailhouse

OKLAHOMA CITY – Right on the heels of Oklahoma City voters’ decision on the MAPS 3 $777 million penny sales tax Tuesday, many of those same metro area residents will soon have to decide another massive taxpayer project.

It’s a $350 million proposal that Oklahoma County commissioners are dreading.

“I’m certainly interested in knowing the outcome of MAPS 3 to get a reading on the sentiment of the voters and how they feel about taking up a countywide tax,” District 2 Commissioner Brian Maughn said earlier this week. “Part of the frustration is that we don’t really even know yet what proposal we’ll introduce for voters to consider.”

And District 1 Commissioner Willa Johnson said, “I personally think it’s going to be a challenge, but I think that our people are reasonable enough to know we’ve got to do something about the jail and we can’t continue to operate the way it is.”

Commissioners and an advisory committee have been discussing how to handle problems with the Oklahoma County Detention Center, which was opened in 1991 about a mile west of the downtown district. Design flaws have plagued the building and last year the U.S. Justice Department reported that inmates receive negligent medical care in overcrowded and often violent conditions, effectively violating their constitutional rights.

County officials reached an agreement with the Justice Department to immediately avoid costly sanctions, but that forgiveness is contingent on the county instituting major corrections or building a new prison altogether. In other words, the county can’t afford to not do something, Maughn said; federal officials will force the issue one way or another.

In 1997, the Oklahoma City Jail merged with the county detention center to share operations. The building is 268,000 square feet and has capacity for about 3,000 inmates. Estimates for a new jail have ranged from about $300 million to $400 million, with repairs not much cheaper.

Maughn said commissioners will meet with a bond lawyer Friday to discuss funding options, which could include some combination of general obligation bonds, sales taxes and property taxes.

“I’m stressing that we don’t know yet what direction we’ll take,” he said.

Johnson said commissioners are open to suggestions from their constituents. When asked if she had a preference about whether to replace or repair the jail, Johnson instead said she would like to see the current building put to a good use.

“That may not mean keeping the county jail there,” she said. “I’m not married to any idea. But I hate to see a building that new go down.’

“Ultimately, I think we’ll get it done,” she said. “But I think it’s going to be a big challenge for the voters to decide.”

2 Earthquakes Rattle Oklahoma Senate District 43

See:
Earthquake hits Southeast OKC,
SUNDAY, MARCH 8, 2009



Is someone trying to tell Oklahoma State Senator Jim Reynolds something ? LOL

Three earthquakes shook the Oklahoma City metro Tuesday afternoon.

The United States Geological Survey reported a 2.4 magnitude earthquake at 3 p.m. south of Norman a couple of hours after two other minor quakes were reported in Oklahoma Senate District 43.

A 2.7 magnitude earthquake occurred at 12:25 p.m. and a 2.5 magnitude quake at 12:41 p.m. near S.E. 15th Street and Bryant Avenue, according to the USGS.


2.7 quake at 12:25 p.m.

2.5 quake at 12:41 p.m.

2.4 quake at 3 p.m.

There were no immediate reports of damage. A 2.5 to 3.0 magnitude quake is normally the smallest felt by humans.

Workers at nearby Tinker Air Force Base reported feeling the quake and noticed desks shaking during the noon quakes.

There have been 13 earthquakes in Oklahoma in the past six months, according to USGS records.

Researchers from Purdue University and Northwestern University say that seismic activity from the the midwestern New Madrid Seismic Zone is shifting to adjacent faults in the nation's midsection, including those in southern Illinois, Arkansas or Oklahoma.

Other scientists called those conclusions premature, in part because the study was based on a relatively narrow time period from the area that remains seismically active.

Earthquake hits Southeast OKC

A minor earthquake was recorded early today in eastern Oklahoma City (Southeast OKC, Moore, Del City). The quake rated 3.4 on the Richter scale at 7:06:39 a.m. (cent) (13:06:39 UTC), the U.S. Geological Survey reported.

The epicenter was around I-35 and I-240, and was about 3.5 miles deep.

The funny thing is that the quake was basely in Oklahoma Senate District 43, maybe someone is trying to tell Jim Reynolds something LOL !

Had to run up to my 90 year old aunt house in South OKC to help put some pic back on wall.

America's Vainest Cities 1. Salt Lake City...


http://www.forbes.com/2007/11/29/plastic-health-surgery-forbeslife-cx_rr_1129health_slide_2.html?thisSpeed=29000

1. Salt Lake City
It's surprising but true: There are at least 45 plastic surgeons practicing in Salt Lake City, or six per 100,000 people. This high number could be attributed to the University of Utah's School of Medicine, which offers residencies in plastic and reconstructive surgery.

Spending habits: Locals also spend more on cosmetics purchases at the grocery store than their peers in cities of similar size, according to Information Resources, a research company that tracks cosmetics and toiletries sales.

In the last year, residents spent $2,207,450 worth on hair coloring, $116,478 on hair growth products, $2,512,081 on facial cosmetics and $4,416,067 on skin care products.

In Oklahoma City, which has a slightly larger population, shoppers spent $172,080 on hair coloring, $9,323 on hair growth products, $190,820 on facial cosmetics and $402,956 on skin care products.
