Blogger Faces Racism Charges for Warning Glenn Beck Rally Visitors to Stay out of Some DC Neighborhoods

Openly gay, conservative blogger Bruce Majors provided a visitors' guide to Washington DC for people coming to town for Glenn Beck's rally. He advised travelers of which neighborhoods to avoid and now he faces charges of racism.

It should be noted that Jesse Jackson once said: "I hate to admit it, but I have reached a stage in my life that if I am walking down a dark street late at night and I see that the person behind me is white, I subconsciously feel relieved"

Violence in DC…there's no violence in DC. BTW, he didn't mention race… just crime areas and the statistics indicate he was accurate.

E_Vasquez   August 26th, 2010 - 7:27 am

It seems that we have finally reached a point where the rampant accusing of racism is just as destructive as actual racism. Not to mention that all the liberal false accusations actually distract from dealing with real racism.

RightWingStuff   August 26th, 2010 - 7:28 am

This is a story?
Wow, we have become tooooo touchy.

Why again is it important to know he is "openly gay"?
Don't let either side put you in a box.

I can see November from my house.
DTOM!

Edword   August 26th, 2010 - 7:30 am

That word has become nothing more than a frivolous insult with no meaning to it.

It's Only Racism Because He's……White!

kurtbradwill   August 26th, 2010 - 7:32 am

I don't understand why the reporter said "Majors also told tea partiers." This rally isn't about politics. It's not about tea parties. Another media member who doesn't listen and assumes.

Democrat_Decimation   August 26th, 2010 - 7:35 am

Bruce Majors should be given the highest, most distinguished civilian service award that can possibly be issued by law enforcement! He obviously took Public Safety into full account for this rally after the Black Panthers issued a warning they were going to crash the rally. It isn't the law abiding Public's fault certain parts of Washington D.C. are basically slums on the caliber of the South side of Chicago and Rio De Janeiro.

SunCrackedSoul   August 26th, 2010 - 7:35 am

charges of racism is an insufficient response to the violence and mayhem perpetuated in criminal neighborhoods

RuralDelivery   August 26th, 2010 - 7:35 am

Gee, wanting to avoid violence and robbery. Imagine that. Those charging "racism" should go to the problem areas and hang out, just to prove how baseless the warnings are.

RightUnite   August 26th, 2010 - 7:36 am

I guess free speech doesn't include ANYONE on the right, huh????

mustafamonde   August 26th, 2010 - 7:36 am

Yeah, I'm not too worried about this, when compared to the two blacks who shot a white kid and stole his pants (check out the crime section) or–for that matter–the "beat whitey night" that went recently unreported. Who gives a flip…

ed357   August 26th, 2010 - 7:36 am

Good advice…………..

I lived in D.C………………

there's some neighborhoods that I wouldn't feel safe in…………

DC, the murder capitol of the nation

SubjectofUSSA   August 26th, 2010 - 7:38 am

Beck needs to have all the homeless bussed out of the city before the rally, like Obama did during the Inaguration.

I've been to DC many a times, parents grew up there. There are definitely some areas you don't want to see.

Anexio   August 26th, 2010 - 7:38 am

"Tea Party Conservative"….

That pretty much sums up the entire article.

I am so sick white racist cracker idiots.

Instead of spending your time and money on a loser like Beck why dont you spend some time and your ill gotten dollars helping out the less fortunate, you know, the people that you are so scared of!

This guy ought to be arrested and charged. Leave him to rot and to contemplate his sick and disgusting racist actions.

Rover_Bump   August 26th, 2010 - 7:39 am

Liberals are a little slow on the uptake. The race card has been played so much it's losing potency. They should check online more often and download the latest updates to their canned-response cue sheets. Er … if they are ever updated.

Democrat_Decimation   August 26th, 2010 - 7:41 am

I sure hope the police in D.C. will be out in full force on the perimeters of the slums of D.C. that open up to routes to the Capitol area. Reason is, the Black Panthers stated they will also be attending this rally & I am sure have already set up bases of operation & planning in the slums.

nobama012   August 26th, 2010 - 7:42 am

Hey Moron! Your just too stupid to realize that Blacks belong to the Tea Party as well! Your the RACIST!

HeReturnsSoon   August 26th, 2010 - 7:43 am

If durring this Rally, a visitor is attacked in one of these "areas" will Rep.Eleanor Holmes Norton be held complicit to the crime?

RightUnite   August 26th, 2010 - 7:43 am

Ohhhhh, kettle somewhat black Anexio??? Typical lib telling someone else how to spend their money…. Why don't you get a job, or go rob someone else, so you don't have to worry about how someone else spends their own money, huh??? How bout that Anexio?????

mustafamonde   August 26th, 2010 - 7:45 am

Yeah–epic racism dude. There are tons of blacks in the movement. They wouldn't go in those areas either. Nice pejorative with "crackers", what next, a visit to a African American site to post the "N" word?

Tyler520   August 26th, 2010 - 7:45 am

Well aren't you just the typical proud leftist Nazi pig

Lagwolf   August 26th, 2010 - 7:45 am

I was the one that posted it on Maine Refounders. Been called racist by Maddow & Matthews but funny enough they won't let me defend myself. Bruce, to his credit, is not only making sure people knows that he wrote it and why, but defends me when he can as well.

There is a new rule of political correctness in order to be understanding you are not able to point out crime ridden areas and its your duty to be mugged by minorities.

Here is on my part in the whole fracas.

everette18294   August 26th, 2010 - 7:46 am

Unfortunately, that distinction has been lost on the race hustlers and the P.C. crowd who feel they have to jump when the race hustlers hollow frog.

nobama012   August 26th, 2010 - 7:46 am

Hmmm, Anexio is a proud member of the African American Brotherhood? Now that's RACIST!!! Your nothing but a craphole HYPOCRITE, you BIETCH!

Just check out this morons "Reputation Score" MINUS 160! LOL! That say's it all! LOL!

SonnyB   August 26th, 2010 - 7:49 am

There is no mention of race. So this is just more feigned sensitivity from the professional victims who have no rational response to the conservative principles that we are promoting. So all they have to fall back on is accusations of racism. Been there, done that, no thank you.

everette18294   August 26th, 2010 - 7:51 am

Your Remark!

Both allowed
But should they be used?

bdballads   August 26th, 2010 - 7:52 am

He should be congratulated for being civic minded. When my family went to DC in May, my sister, who visits there often, offered the same advice. She didn't do it because she's a racist, she did it because she loves us and knows the potential danger that exists in certain parts of the city. Norton is either an idiot who is completely out of touch with reality, or she's a liar. Of course, I could be wrong, as she could very well be both.

Meh88   August 26th, 2010 - 7:53 am

Wow now it's racist to avoid certain parts of a city. BTW John Stewart seems to be able to say the N-word with no outrage.

If you can sit through it…….. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/08/25/stewart-...

Peacefull city where everyone get's along.

I she kidding?

I have been there and parts are unsafe no matter what color you are.

I did some work in Compton, CA 10 years ago and I was sent a map that took me 2 miles out of the way to sneak into the company. I was also told to avoid eye contact with anyone.

I was told all of this by a black man who worked for the company is was visiting.

nobama012   August 26th, 2010 - 7:53 am

MAduece   August 26th, 2010 - 7:54 am

I live in a very predominantly Hispanic city and some of my Hispanic friends say there are some undesirable areas of the city (also Hispanic) where they wouldn't go either. Unless they were looking for trouble. Here in the Lone Star State we have every walk of life and belief, despite being known as a conservative state. Including 'white racist cracker idiots' as you call them.

P.S. You might think calling someone from the south a cracker is the ultimate put down. But I know a few who wear the title like a badge of honor. And they would tell you to your face 'yeah, damn right I am.'

kay   August 26th, 2010 - 7:54 am

This “Racist” crap is just that……crap. Every major town in America has a certain area where it is not safe to go. Every person in those towns know WHY it is not safe to go there….especially at night. Whose fault is that??? Who is to blame??? Who are the people who create this fear??? Who are the criminals we fear most??? WHY??? You know the answers already. Government and breeding.

BAD BREEDING…..irresponsible people whose family tree often does not fork and they have no idea who they are breeding with…often an known/unknown half relative…creating mental basket cases.

People who grow up expecting everything free..have no sense of pride in accomplishment, achievment, and self worth. Children raised without both parents in their lives grow up angry….hating eveyone…or taking their hate out on innocent people because of jealousy, because of their wealth, and/or accomplishment.

Yes, it is unfortunate that we do have to stay out of some neighborhoods…..even tho it may be our own neighborhood. I know people who live 24/7 with their doors locked, barred, and never open their windows…because it is not safe. They can’t move because they can’t find another home of equal value…without going deeper into debt.

The gov’t is at fault. They need to clean up the drug infested ghettos. Run down properties attract bottom feeders. Especially where there are no JOBS. So why can gov’t then blame people for AVOIDING those areas???

Of course, Lawyers and Judges and the whole law enforcement systems get rich off the bottom feeders trafficking….don’t they??

I rest my case.

everette18294   August 26th, 2010 - 7:54 am

By your standards, you should be arrested for hate speech, but us good ole conservatives are adult enough to just look at you and say he has free speech. Now go take care of yourself and quit waiting on manna from heaven.

Anybody has the right

BobPDX   August 26th, 2010 - 8:04 am

Anerexia, no,, you are the racist.

You wrote, "I am so sick of white cracker idiots"

You don't mean that. What you really meant to say is this; " I am so sick of white people who won't give me half of their paychecks and buy me a nice house to live in so I don't have to work for it".

I don't blame you though, your leadership continues to promise you that you are owed something and it's on it's way, really it is.

Unfortunately, you have been dooped, and not by the cracker's, but by your own leadership.

Pay attention now, this is important…Your leadership is getting rich but you see there's just not enough to go around and they don't have the heart to tell you.

I am sorry for you, and I am sorry that your dreams of being "given yours" won't come true, ever.

Fear of crime is not racism. Sadly, the black community is lost in America, maybe forever, maybe for a generation. 80% out of wedlock births,50% of black men are felons. To all the liberals like Couric or Olberman, or my sister, and your friends….I say to them"you go live downtown with the black community if you love and defend them so much." See how long you last. America's epitaph will read, "died of 1964 Civil Rights Act"

———————————————————————————————————————————————————-
I bet he would not say that now.Scape goating of black and brown people is the thing now and seen as the central source of our economic and social problems.

In September 1928 Germany had 650,000 unemployed. In the wake of the great fall of prices on the U.S. stockmarket, lenders from the U.S. gave Germany ninety days to start repayment. By September 1930 Germany's unemployment had risen to 3,000,000. By 1930 Germany's manufacturing had fallen seventeen percent from that 1927 level. Bankruptcies were increasing. Farmers were hurting. Some in the middleclass feared sliding into the lower class. And some in the middleclass blamed the economic decline on unemployed people being unwilling to work –. SOUNDS FAMILIAR?
We all know what happen then,who took power and who the scape goats were.

Anti-Semitism didn't begin on a specific date in reaction to a specific economic indicator – anti-Semitism was rampant in Germany and Hitler grew up with it as daily fare.
The "Treaty of Versilles" and end of WWI left legions of German soldiers angry and confused because they LOST a war while standing in France, not beaten back to Germany. The MARCHED home in defeat.
They saw this as a "Jewish Conspiracy" and as Germany stumbled into post WWI any problem in the country was because of the Jews and any successes were successes.
When the world economy melted down – guess who caught hell? Ya, you guessed it.

Hello Lairs….

Are you by chance a “Black muslim everyone should stay away from” ? Your words not mine.

I would risk my life in the hands of certain brown or black people, and would not trust some whites. SO, it has NOTHING to do with skin color, dear heart, it has EVERYTHING to do with character….and knowing what that person stands for…or doesn’t stand for!!

The worth of a person is not valued by color…..but some races have a better history as a whole. Whose fault is that?? Take your attitude and turn it toward the offenders and bottom feeders, and of your race, and make them understand they are the problem…NOT the SOLUTION.

BruceMajor   August 26th, 2010 - 8:36 am

I am actually openly libertarian not openly conservative. But I am a big tent libertarian until the Obama regime is exiled.

In case there is no link above my blog is at <a href="http://www.teapartiers.blogspot.com” target=”_blank”>www.teapartiers.blogspot.com

In my real life, before the Bush-Obama depression, I am a real estate agent. Predictably, the leftover blogosphere wants me to be thrown in jail for "red lining." Today at a little extremely boring, side, part time job I have taken during the depression, the corporate HQ (a multinational) called to say they were watching me and I better not talk about politics at work (never do) or mention them (and it is a job I am certainly not putting on my resume) on TV. I think that may actually be illegal here in DC under the elaborate employment anti-discrimination laws the statists themselves have created. Perhaps I will get to sue for a settlement!

Here we go again. It's bad enough when Target or BestBuy are picketed because some fruitcakes are upset at their donees but now we can expect to be singled out for 'preferential' treatment at the hands of whoever is deemed 'dissed' for for whatever reason. I hate to say this but the Age of the Victim will beget only more victims, and they'll really have something to cry about then. I guess we can thank the 'post-racial' president for sticking racism back into everyone's face.

I dont know if you are being sarcastic, but where I live, which is a predominantly gay part of the city, the gay men are some of the most racist bigotted people I have ever hung out with. The things they say in the security of their ranks is beyond the pale.

@ Bruce Major ………….

If you are in Real Estate…you cannot legally direct any client away from a property in a bad area of town. They may say “Location, Location”, all day long….but they cannot say BAD location in any way. I live in IL. Same here.

There are so many “rules” it is mind boggling. Surely, you know the rules.

diffapp   August 26th, 2010 - 8:51 am

A big part of the black complaints about the South in the 60s was: blacks were attacked by white mobs or that blacks could not be out safely after dark. Now we whites are targeted and remarkably we are still at fault. I don't think blacks are adept enough to oppress us being 13% of the population. Something sinister is at work in the oppression of white folks.

I have feminist Democratic friends (I am openly gay after all) who refuse to vote for Eleanor Holmes Norton, who decries my blog guide as "worrisome," because even though she is a law school prof, when she was caught miscalculating her taxes years ago, her Rangel rule was to say "Oh, I am just a girl — my husband does our taxes!"

She may be worried about Congressional committees that will investigate her friends.

I am partly Cherokee but I guess it doesn't show.

Uh, Bush's BFF's in Saudi Arabia are the most regressive of the Arab states. nice try though. Maybe you should send Bush an e-mail and thell him to stop tongue kissing the prince.

The problem is that we live in AMERICA, and we dont yearn to be like Saudi Arabia, like the GOP.

Ok Jemima, I'll mail you a fat check…..MORON!!!

crime rates have dropped in DC since the early 2000's, but are still significant:

"..By the mid-2000s, crime rates in Washington dropped to their lowest levels in over 20 years. Crime remains a significant factor in D.C., especially in the city's eastern neighborhoods where economic revitalization has not yet occurred.[4]…"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_Washington,....

this knee jerk reaction to call anything racist that might be the least bit negative is wearing quite thin. I believe it has gotten worse since we have elected an AA to the Presidency. I wonder what Martin Luther King would think?

There is a lot of crime in DC! There are a lot of neighborhoods in DC no one would want to to be in! Instead of blacks calling this racism, why don't they clean their neighborhoods up and stop committing crimes already? You reap what you sow! And don;t give me this crap that you are poor and everyone is against you. The dems have been giving you money hand over fist for years, maybe that IS THE problem, you get thing handed to you so you have no pride or self respect!

Replying to HelloLiars

from the flatulence on Fox news
—————————————————————————————————–
That was nice of you to put Fox and news in the same sentence

simtax   August 26th, 2010 - 8:59 am

Most charges from the left are bogus. they think calling people a racist will shut them up. Beware… come Sept 11 2010 my website goes up. vultureforum.com I will post any and all evidence of the Lefts and Rights attempts to stiffle free speech. And I like many Americans, am getting tired of the Government and the Media lying to us. I hope you all take a look after the 11th and join in (It's free) contribute and make a general pain in the ass of yourselves so the media and the nanny state will get a clue.

HelloLiars   August 26th, 2010 - 8:59 am

I forgot to spell it Faux and put "" around news. Not enough sleep last night.

Twistedsis   August 26th, 2010 - 9:01 am

Speaking the truth is not racism. The people that say it is racism are just plain wrong and do not care anything about the truth.

BruceMajor   August 26th, 2010 - 9:01 am

That is the one innocent confusion among the mentally challenged reporters and bloggers at MSNBC and Huff'n'Puff etc.

My blog is named "Tea Party — One Lump or Two?"

I apologize to Glenn Beck for injecting (additional) politics into his day. I was just writing the guide I would give to my own mom if she were visiting town without me. I thought at most a few FaceBook friends and Beck fans would ever read it.

I miscalculated about the level of desperation among the Obamanoids as their whole field of candidates is being threatened with massive losses. They would seize anything as a pre-text to scream racism.

sjsturkie   August 26th, 2010 - 9:02 am

Everyone gets along in DC. Right. There were 186 murders in Washington DC in 2008. Granted that is considerably less than the 400+ annually in the 1990's, but it is still high enough to exercise some caution while in DC.

"Now its Mike Foshizzle Steele"

The racist peeks out from under the pointy white hood.

Talengtp   August 26th, 2010 - 9:02 am

1st off, I don't watch Fox news (oh noooo! shattered preconceptions!). 2nd, did YOU read the guide? There wasn't a single time he mentioned "Blacks" or "muslims". So, again, I ask….did YOU actually read it?

BruceMajor   August 26th, 2010 - 9:02 am

It's probably Eleanor Holmes Norton's fault among others.

If you come to the 8/28 March I will settle for a beer!

Washington DC is a multicultural city. Criminals attack all races, (especially their own). But everybody who looks like an easy mark. Without regard to age or race.

Twistedsis   August 26th, 2010 - 9:04 am

Not really, I know more than one gay person voting for Republicans.

SMFIII   August 26th, 2010 - 9:05 am
