Give Me A Break: Time for the Games to End

by Carrie K. Hutchens

There was a time that race and gender mattered to extreme within the workings and structure of society, but not no more. It has become isolated incidents, rather than life within a white man’s world. As such, having moved so far beyond those days, it is maddening and insulting to hear women, who have failed in their positions, claim that a call for accountability on their part is merely because they are women and/or women of color in America. Are they really suggesting that women are not able and do not have to do their jobs or do them well? Really?

I am a woman that spent most of her working career in a man’s field. I never expected to be treated differently than the men I worked with. I never asked to be excused for my mistakes because, after all, I’m a woman and as a woman – I shouldn’t be held accountable. If I screwed up – I screwed up and it had nothing to do with my race or gender. It had to do with me. It had to do with me – a person – making the mistake. PERIOD!

Likewise, I am sick of being accused of being racist for no other reason than of my skin tone and that I exist. Maybe I even gave an opinion about something that a progressive disagreed with and, of course, many radical libs can’t have that. When they have no legit argument, they go into insult mode and the attempt to destroy. After all, how dare anyone not agree with them?

People should not be “excused” or “protected” or “promoted” because of their race or gender. That is, after all, suggesting that the person is incapable of success in whatever endeavor and being given a free ride. That’s an insult – not a favor.

People should not be “excused” for stealing and assaulting and killing or for over-looking all the stealing and assaulting and killing. That’s irrational – not rational.

Women, of whatever skin tone, should not expect a free ride, but rather, show they are worthy of success in whatever endeavor they pursue. And if they fail – they should accept that their failure is theirs… and not accuse others of holding them accountable just because they are women.

The childish, spoiled brat, mentally-challenged behavior our society is infested with deserves to be frowned upon. It’s time to for the games to end. It is time for accountability.

Police dash-cam video debunks professor’s racial profiling claims

A college professor who accused a Connecticut state trooper of racial profiling saw her claims fail when audiotape of the stop proved she was lying, police said.

According to Fox CT, Minati Roychoudhuri, 32, was driving on a highway on May 9 when she was pulled over in the town of Wethersfield. She was cited for failure to drive in the established lane. A month later, Roychoudhuri sent a letter to the Commissioner of Public Safety claiming that the officer had racially profiled her.

“The policeman asked me if I could speak English and if I knew why he had stopped me. I said, “yes” to speaking English and “no” to why he had stopped me,” she wrote in the letter. “The officer did not give me any reason as to why had stopped me. His asking if I could speak English shows that he had racially profiled me and was not able to give me a concrete reason for stopping me.”

When Roychoudhuri, who teaches at Capital Community College, in Hartford, gave an in-person interview in regards to her letter a week later, she repeated her claims of racial profiling and that the officer did not explain why she was stopped. She also signed a statement that it is a crime for her to make any claims that she does not believe to be true in an effort to mislead a public servant.

Most State Police cruisers, including the one that stopped Roychoudhuri, have video and audio recorders to record all motor vehicle stops. An Internal Affairs investigation examined the dash cam audio.

In the recording, the officer asks if Roychoudhuri knows why she is being stopped. When she says no, the officer is heard saying, “Okay. There’s that big gore area with white lines painted across it and you cut in front of it, in front of me, thinking it’s a lane or something. You have to wait until it’s a dotted white line.”

The investigation concluded that the officer never asked Roychoudhuri if she spoke English and that he clearly explained to Roychoudhuri why she was pulled over. Roychoudhuri was subsequently arrested for giving a false statement in the second degree.

Nonsense Card: Over-the-limit & Declined

Nonsense card 1

I started reading an article at a site that I normally avoid. My reason for avoiding it is that I feel it has over-the-top in leanings and often claiming absolutes that I know to be false. I find that irritating — not amusing. Nevertheless, I started reading and sure enough, by the sixth paragraph — and they weren’t large paragraphs — he says he suspects there are a lot of people who do not like Obama for no other reason than his skin color. The nonsense card in play again. Give me a break!

Obama is in his “second” term of office. If his skin color was such a major issue, he wouldn’t have been elected the first time, much less a second. What part of this does the “skin color” fetish cult not get?

On the other hand, this nonsense card that people have been using for political and personal gain, has been way over-used and is now over-the-limit and being declined. It’s nonsense. People can actually disagree with Obama and his inept team and it not have a single morsel of anything to do with anybody’s skin color. I’m serious. It’s true. It’s reality. Get a grip on it.

People trying to play the nonsense card, need to step back and take a long look at their motives. Are they standing with Obama & Pals because they believe he is right or because they feel they are some new breed of people championing the “skin color” war they perceive in their delusional world? If it is the latter, perhaps it’s time to look around at all the shades of color in high places. This isn’t the 1800’s or 1960’s. We’ve come a long ways from those days — a very long ways!

Is the world cleansed of all discrimination? No, and it never will be. Somewhere… sometime… someone will be discriminated against for some reason. However, discrimination is not wide-spread as has been suggested in the past six years, and especially since Ferguson, MO. Not everything that happens good or bad has to do with race. It can happen for all kinds of reasons. It can happen because of poverty. It can happen because of age. It can happen because of disability. It can happen because of lack of knowledge and/or skills. And… get this… not everything (not to our liking) that happens has anything to do with discrimination of any sort. It can happen for all kinds of reasons. Sometimes a person can be wrong. Sometimes it can happen because of attitude. That’s right. It can happen to a person because the person’s attitude stinks.

People have a right to disagree with Obama & Pals, just like anyone has ever had a right to disagree with any president before. It happens. It happens because it happens. Playing this nonsense card to try to make a disagreement of policy or actions or words into a race issue instead, is an attempt to distract from the possibility the accused is right and Obama might just be wrong. (Sorry to burst a bubble, but Obama can be wrong, too!)

It’s time to get honest. It’s time to deal with real issues and not ones created for political and personal gain. It’s time to stop immediately seeing every disagreement with Obama as a matter of “skin color” and thereby ignoring the possibility there is good cause for disagreement. It’s time the nonsense card be declined and cancelled. Yes, it is definitely time.
