This rather, um, [interesting website](http://www.blacktown.net) came to my attention via a LiveJournal community I’m a member of. I would be most gracious if someone would reassure me that this site doesn’t actually represent anyone’s actual opinions. Please? ---

Well, it must represent the opinion of the owner. Seriously, an attempt to incite violence and hate is vey strong. I’m just not sure who is really promoting the hate. ---

[I thought this pic from the site was a bit … unusual.](http://blacktown.net/newsviews.htm) Apparently that sites been around for a while, but it’s so over the top it really does read like a spoof site. I wouldn’t be shocked if it turns out to be hosted by some white guy poking fun at black people. ---

Wow, I was about to make a post saying how gullible you all are but now I’m not so sure. According to a Whois search, the site has indeed been around since 1998; something I thought was a lie. Now obviously, by looking at pages like [this](http://blacktown.net/whathaveblackwomendone.htm), we can infer that the site is at least somewhat tongue-in-cheek. I mean, those pictures are _meant_ to be funny. The site, however, is registered to one ``` faheem akuta 1913 s. Sawyer chicago, IL 60623 ``` Fake name or Nation of Islam holdout? I don’t know, but if anyone wants to call and ask him his phone number is (773) 522-8343 ---

I was going to go to bed soon, so much for that. So much for getting sleep for the rest of the week. ☹ That’s the most scary thing I’ve ever seen!

Mmm. I was clicking through, taking it as a weird, over-the-top joke, and right after the page with the “new book” _The Failure of Black Feminist Women_ they go on to talk about school shootings and there is a very graphic picture of the bodies of Eric Harris and Dylan Kelbold. I completely wasn’t expecting it, just thought I’d mention it so no one else was surprised like that.
