Cincinnati's Worst Racist/Bigot
No, it is not the police Chief, nor anyone in the Police Department. It is not the Mayor, who is gets a bad rap from "activists." The worst racist/bigot is not even white. There are several local racists who are as bad in their beliefs, but they not as much of a concern because they are not taken seriously by anyone. The worst racist/bigot in Cincinnati wrote the following letter to the editors of City Beat:Gay Play Should Be Condemned
The gay community in Cincinnati wants special rights and wants to be accepted as a new race. A lot of people say, "OK, that's cool, to each his own. It's about tolerance -- if you tolerate my lifestyle, I'll tolerate yours. Hey, that's equal and equal is cool."
But with the play Corpus Christi, the gays have gone too damn far (The Play's a Protest, Too, issue of June 18-24). I can't tolerate this shit -- excuse my French -- portraying Jesus and the disciples as gay. I'll have you know that Jesus is a black man, and He sho' ain't gay!
The nerve of those assholes organizing that play. It should be condemned by Christians and Muslims alike. I condemn it as a black militant, and that's why there's been a protest every day of the play's run.
Who will they portray as gay next? Will it be Moses, David, Solomon or Mary the mother of Jesus, or will it be Dr. Martin Luther King?
The gays have gone too far, and they can kiss my ass. No, I take that back -- they might enjoy that. We will not tolerate the Anti-Christ.
-- Gen. Kabaka Oba, The Black FistKabaka Oba is the worst racist/bigot in Cincinnati because he can write this letter, but feel little heat for his views from other blacks, especially those in the black community seeking "social justice." I think Oba is considered a joke privately by nearly everyone in the city, but he makes great video for the media, great audio for radio, and great copy for the newspaper, so he is only condemned by the likes of Peter Bronson, Mike McConnell, and yours truely. You will notice 2 of the 3 are conservatives and only 1 (me) is a liberal. That is a sorry example for an ideology that claims to be the leader in fighting bigotry and racism. Jay Love recently began openly chastising Oba, but others on his radio station still give him airtime without rebuke. Other media outlets have allowed Oba to stand out as an activist, but when the KKK comes to town they are reported as evil incarnate. We have someone as bad as the KKK in our media weekly, but he is treated with legitimacy that allows his messages of hate to grow.

Newest and Youngest Charterite?
Mike Goldman, Charter Committee President, greeted Nick Spenser as the most recently Charter-endorsed Candidate for Cincinnati City Council with this comment reported in Greg Korte's Inside City Hall column:
Mike Goldman, Charter Committee President, greeted Nick Spenser as the most recently Charter-endorsed Candidate for Cincinnati City Council with this comment reported in Greg Korte's Inside City Hall column:
"He's extremely young, there's no doubt about that."The quote did go on to praise Nick's campaign organization, but the opening blurb is hardly a great moniker for Nick to wear. Will Charter get more than one person on council this year? I don't think Nick has the money or the reach to win a seat, but a good campaign could pave the way for him to move up the Cincinnati political ladder into a good job and eventual political office.

A Little Problem to Overcome
Woe is the UC basketball program. Yet another Huggins player has his day in criminal court. This time NBA prospect Donald Little has pled guilty to assault, and was sentenced to 30 days in jail. All of this just 2 days before the NBA draft. Little, who is 25 (a bit old for a senior), may have to take any contract put before to him, and be thankful for it. The crime victim is reportedly suing Little for 1 million dollars. That is a big chunk of change, even for a professional basketball player. He is lucky he pled to a lesser crime. He was charged with kidnapping and felonious assault. Councilman David Pepper's kidnappers got around 8 years for their crime, and Pepper was not injured. Little should serve his time, and get out of Dodge, and be glad that he will still get paid to play a game.
Rest of the coverage: Post, WCPO, WLWT, and WKRC.

The Preacher Who Cried Wolf
The Rev. Damon Lynch III is crying racism in Forest Park. His son, Lynch IV, got a speeding ticket. That's right, a speeding ticket. He was not shot. He was not assaulted. He was not threatened with physical harm. He was asked to exit his car, and it was then searched. Jay Love, of 1230 the Buzz, said on his radio show today that Rev. Lynch was crying wolf. Jay Love lives in Forest Park. Jay Love knows of no one who has been racially profiled by the Forest Park police. Damon Lynch III is "pimping" his son for a payday. More than one caller on Jay Love's show asked if Damon Lynch would be protesting the next time someone else's child was stop by police in Mason or Blue Ash. I would expect Lynch to sit on his hands, unless he can grab some free money, or at least a little free publicity.

Trent Lott No-Show
Trent Lott was missing from Senator Mike DeWine Ice Cream Social yesterday, but that did not keep the Boycott B from protesting in full force, all 5 of them. The Dayton Daily News covered the event and talked with the protestors. A "Nathaniel Lewis" was quoted “We tried to get here earlier, but there was a lot of traffic,” trying to explain their late arrival to the event. I am not sure if "Nathaniel Lewis" is Nate Livingston's new nom de plume or if the reporter has bad hearing. The event was nothing special, and without Trent Lott, DeWine saves a little face. I wonder if Lott did not show, or if DeWine asked him not to show. We will never know that. I wonder if the Boycott B gang was able to all fit into one car or since they all are leaders of there own little "groups" they each drove separately. Nothing about them surprises me anymore.

Walnut Hills High School
WCPO's I-Team has a follow-up their story from last month where they claimed the Principal, Marvin Koenig, was not operating admission standards according to Cincinnati Public Schools policy. The new report brings up fresh allegations about grade changing by the Principal, another violation of policy. Reporter Stephen Hill also brought forth the charge that one student got into the highly regarding Walnut Hills High School in part to a financial donation the student’s family allegedly made to a new building addition at the school. According to the I-Team, CPS Administration officials may release more information on these allegations as soon as this week.
I do not know what to make of this incident. This is, after all local TV news. The issues appear to be singular actions. No evidence of wide spread violations was provided. Only a handful of occurrences were aired, so any violations reported are small and in any reasonable school system are understandable. Rules are not absolute. Sometimes things change for reasons that may make more sense than the dramatic I-Team music would lead you to believe. This issue of the possible quid pro quo is a serious question that if proven true should cost someone their job.
