Racism, Again

by Tom Kando

On August 9, officer Darren Wilson  killed an unarmed  black man, Michael Brown, in Ferguson, MO. Since then, there have been daily confrontations  in that community between angry black crowds and the police - “race riots” if you will. The verdict is not in as to what happened exactly. I am not  going to delve into who  did what. The situation is still unfolding.  What I DO want to do, is share with you what I experienced when I clicked on the following article: “Police Identify Officer, Allege Teen Robbed Store” By David A. Lieb and Alan Scher Zagier; AP; (Yahoo News Home Page).

Within a few hours of this publication there were over 45,000 comments. I scrolled down the first hundred or so. It was shocking. 99.9% of them were unmitigated white racist rage. Unfathomable hatred of blacks. I won’t speculate about the representativeness of this sample. But here are  thousands upon thousands of vicious anonymous  racist comments in just ONE article on ONE website. There must be dozens of millions more such opinions elsewhere. It seems to me that white America is turning into a catastrophe. I hope that I am wrong.

Here are some recurring themes in these dozens of  thousands  of racist comments:

●    Blacks are lazy leaches supported by hard-working white taxpayers.
●    Problems such as the trouble in Ferguson are President Obama’s fault.
●    ...as well as the fault of black leaders such as Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson.
●    The media are largely biased in favor of minorities, and they hate whites.
●    Black culture is dysfunctional because it is matriarchal. Of course, these   semi-illiterate commentators  don’t phrase this well, but many white racists have picked up one thing: If you want to disparage an entire race, it is no longer fashionable to talk about genetic inferiority. Many racists (e.g. Rush Limbaugh or  Fox’s Sean Hannity and Bill O’Reilly)  now  hang their racism on the “nurture” side of the nature-nurture divide. This makes racism more “respectable.” “Dysfunctional black culture” is the new code.

Apparently, the Obama presidency has lanced a puss boil of white racism in this country. Somehow, our first black presidency, instead of causing joy at the possibility of post-racialism, has brought a lot of white racism out of the closet. The millions of vile comments you see on the Internet suggest this. Here is a tiny sample:

●    “They tried to say that this big monkey was so innocent, etc. What a bunch of BS you reported, you dammed leftwinged media!! The dammed media should be held responsible for everything that went down. Thanks to them egging the blacks on to their second nature of rioting and looting, the blacks are all at home watching their free big screen t.v.s, wearing their new clothes, using their new IPODS, you name it they smashed the stores and stole it.  They should have turned the machine guns on those animals! What do you say about that, king monkey sharpton?!

●    “who cares. This guy was a burden to society robbing people walking down the middle of the street with NO respect for the people driving on it. Acting like a bunch of 3rd world morons don't justify your cause it just makes you all look like a. fool”

●    MockBarack Obamaneedsjob:
    “Unfortunately the least economically, academically successful and most prone to violence demographic on the bottom rung of society are unable to process information like humans. Quickly frustrated because of this lack of intelligence, they immediately become frenzied and violent causing more property damage that the working class will have to pay for.”

●    “Blacks think that they are above reproach  because they are Black. Tthey think that they can just walk into a store and take what they want without paying. I live in a State where there are only 1.8% Blacks and these parasites create 30% of the crime. Blacks as a whole  are nothing but trouble. In every city in America where Blacks reside and are the majority, they are destructive and violent  and our prisons confirm this with 73% of the prisoners being Black. These people have no family values as 72% of them come from unwed, single parent families. The education is nonexistent as 75% of them drop out of school and cannot read, write or even speak correct English. No wonder they have the highest unemployment rate, they are unskilled and illiterate...

●    “Savages always bring out the spears and clubs when they lose one of thier own even when the one they lost was commiting crimes, But hey, they were burning the businesses that served THEM, too worried that if they went after the white part of town they might get shot. They can't reason, can't think for themselves, don't respect anyone, and can't let working people do thier jobs. This stupid overgrown poarchmonkey got what he deserved. He probably thought that him being 6'5" and 250 lbs would scare off a cop. I am former military I am as tall as he was, yet I don't weigh as much I am fit and could have eaten this welps lunch if I had to deal with him. This " I am black and I'll cry racism" #$%$ is over and done you fools played it too much, ain't working no more.”

●    Someone who cares: “Damn black thief's! They can't work, they can't speak English but boy their moms sure teach them to live off other peoples tax dollars and then steal the rest. Too bad the store owner did not have a gun and shoot him. All I can say is one down and a hell of a lot more that need to go the same way!”

●    “I'd like to see one of these black thugs try to do that to someone who could actually fight back. The black thug would shrivel up faster than my ¢:ø:¢:k would after seeing one of his ugly, smelly, fat a:s:s baby mammas...”

●    Buffalo Bill:  “This is ALL BS!!! The real problem is blacks get away with this behavior and white people are forced to pay welfare and the government keeps promoting this...White people are tired of paying for you to live the life you're living. Your party needs to end and YOU need to work!!!! All this is just a symptom of a deeper problem...black laziness which equals this shooting and others like it...black on black whatever...We need to fix the cause and the symptoms will disappear...it's called WORK!”

●    “I suppose M. Brown could have been another one of Obama's sons. After all, he did something stupid and against the law, gets killed, and of course it is someone else's fault. What will they do if they don't have whitey paying billions so there is some government bureaucracy that takes care of their every need?

●    “Yet again, Barack Obama stuck his nose in deep & his foot in his mouth by trying to stir up his black base. Yet again, blacks destroyed property & stole merchandise from innocent business owners as the media portrayed THEM as the victims. STOP!! America has had enough, black people!! Learn to act like decent human beings. Our FATHERS taught us. That's your problem. Your men aren't man enough to stick around long enough for the stains to dry.”

●    “I wasn't raised to be to care about what the color of someone's skin. Now I am beginning to wish most blacks could be sent back to Africa. Get jobs, get an education and raise your families to respect  other people's property. All the blacks that I see on tv in this story make me so sick.”

●    “I don't hate anyone but I have to say it makes it very hard to like anyone with black skin. As a child we lived in a nice middle-class neighborhood. We had a black family with a son my age. I always tried to be friends with him until I finally got tired of him stealing my things. We didn't own slaves and we're not keeping you down, you're keeping yourselves down...”

●    "give these primitive creatures a fire , a log to pound on and a " chant " and these savages will whip themselves into a 20 million yrs. BC frenzy . I  believe that the " witness's " are LYING . I also believe that Da Kang and his pimp in the DOJ will force the state to try this cop just as they did in Fl.”

As I wrote in a similar article a few months ago, (Is this Germany in the 1930s all over again?). This is only the tip of the iceberg.  Frightening. leave comment here
