Ethnic Discrimination at Philly’s Family Court

By Josh Truman

PHILADELPHIA, PA / DECEMBER 12, 2009 / DIVERSE NEWS — With the exterior having an almost White House look next to its twin, the Free Library, Philly’s family court, along with its terrazzo flooring and marble accents, gives you the ‘feeling’ of a place of honor. But it has its politics like every place else.
But sure, there are some good stories that come out of here and you will hear about it in the news when it does -like every 3 years or so- and it always gets good press with almost masonic mystique.

What doesn’t get good press is the horror stories. Of course, to protect family confidentiality laws, only initials can be given.

Last week, in one of many cases over the past 14 years, M.S. (a Disabled American Veteran) was once again denied custody of his child. This after very disturbing incidents claimed by the child (you can guess) from one of the mother’s boyfriends. Yet, the court is making a path for the mother, after rehab (‘parenting classes’), to gain custody – but not the Muslim father, just supervised visitation. The father had never been part of that type of abuse but the court and its Semitic judges, who just ‘happened’ to be assigned to all of M.S.’s custody cases, have found ways and means to deny him custody. M.S. had called many lawyers over the years about this discrimination but it kept coming. Read More »

‘White’ people evolved 5500 years ago

While over at the timesonline.com website, I came across this story about ‘White’ People:

From Timesonline.com:

White Europeans could have evolved as recently as 5,500 years ago, according to research which suggests that the early humans who populated Britain and Scandinavia had dark skins for millenniums.

It was only when early humans gave up hunter-gathering and switched to farming about 5,500 years ago that white skin began to be favoured, say the researchers.

This is because farmed food was deficient in vitamin D, a vital nutrient. Humans can make this in their skin when exposed to sunlight, but dark skin is much less efficient at it.

No, there wasn’t an implication that whites in America are ‘European-Americans’ just that Whites used to be darker, and the story doesn’t say they were Black.
Then again, scientists say we all came from Africa. It appears that we all did come from two people more and more.

So much change…
