Cripes I get caught by the monitors more than most! I’ll have to be more obtuse when I insult someone off of the pit.
I should have said receptacle full of human fecal material.
THANK YOU other posters with brains to see beyond the obvious!! My own personal bigotry has no bearing in my post. I am simply very weary of the ‘stomp the white’ attitude of the news media in that we seem to have swung to the opposite extreme of being politically correct. We’ve gone from stomping the oppressed to stomping the perceived oppressor when in actuality, a middle of the road view is needed.
That’s like claiming that all Blacks on welfare are committing welfare fraud, when in actuality there are a mess of whites and Hispanics doing the same thing – but Blacks get singled out.
Hey, the crime rate among Blacks is higher than among other races – and I don’t want to go into a truck load of reasons why going all of the way back to the damaged ego systems of suppressed adult Male Blacks. Facts are facts. So when a police officer profiles a Black person, he or she is going by statistics and personal experience. More weapons are found on Black people during traffic stops than on Whites.
The news media doesn’t seem to mention that but they raise heck with any police officer who over reacts to a Black person and promptly scream racial discrimination and illegal profiling. Somehow, they seem to ignore this when a cop over reacts to a White thug wearing gang colors.
I am just getting real tired of all of this over blown racial crap.
A friend of mines little 9 year old daughter plays with the kids of his black neighbors in a mixed neighborhood. I’ve been there and watched the play with some amusement because the Black kids don’t know they’re supposed to be ‘bad’ and no one has yet taught them the ‘we be, he be, she be, they be’ type of Black lingo. Right now, the oldest is 11 and they have a blast playing tag, blowing soap bubbles, running and screaming all over the place and the little girl doesn’t know she’s ‘supposed’ to look down on Blacks.
She and they don’t often watch the news, being, like most kids, interested in what that frog is doing on the window or when are the first fireflies going to come out. I think if they start listening to the news, things might change.
Like I said, if the shooter had been White, then the FBI would be looking for connections to some devious seperationist group, the news would start bringing out the not very veiled suspicions of KLAN involvement and the National Inquirer would have pictures – obviously touched up – of the White guy holding a Confederate Flag.
BUT, because the shooter was Black and it is not politically correct to tell the truth about sensitive minorities, the news media glosses it over.
Bring back news reporters like Huntly and Brinkly. Black people can be just as racist as White – look at Louis Farrikan and the Nation of Islam. Whoever does the crime, then they do the time and don’t give me any crap about their being ‘forced’ into criminal activities because of the color of their skin.
My bigotry, by the way, ranges to skinheads, seperationists, survivalists, the KKK and any other form of Whites Only group. At least I am aware of my faults and work to control them, unlike many who seem to wallow in theirs like they were some sort of badge of adulthood.
You who seem to deny this odd form of ‘bigotry’ are just allowing it to go on. I noticed, in retrospect, that the news media finally started mentioning that the shooting was racially motivated AFTER radio talk show hosts started yelling about it for several days. You guys should have been yelling. It isn’t adding gasoline to the fire, it’s simply demanding equal time for all, which might cause people to think and NOT be so quick to exaggerate the news so one race or the other ALWAYS looks bad.
Even now, years after the LA riots, news programs seem to find only Black people who feel that the riots were justified and that the burning of miles of mainly Black owned area was a force for the cause. Funny, how they seem NOT to find the Black people and other minorities who lived there who thought it was real stupid to have a riot and burn out their own homes and shops and scare the crap out of businesses so badly that many never returned and all the riot did was convince others how stupid it was.
This selective action displays the Black people as aggressive and not real darn bright. The News Media is covering the possible end of Affirmative Action, playing it up real big that it will affect Black people, because they are obviously too stupid to get the jobs on their own. What they are NOT covering is that affirmative action-which I despise – also encourages hiring practices which benefit women, gays, and other races.
They are not taking a middle of the road stance on things and not showing both sides of an issue.
Seen Jerry Springer lately? He concentrates on getting the biggest, fattest and absolutely stupidest White and Hispanic people on his show as possible. Absolute dregs of society, morally corrupt, socially inept, and most potentially sociopaths.
Rikki Lake does the same thing, only she concentrates on Blacks. So does Divorce court.
Judge Brown, the Black television Judge, provides a well balanced mix of all races. So does that bald, mouthy ex-marine judge.
The other shows concentrate on deliberate, unequal exploitation. Just like the news media.
