Syndicated columnist Leonard Pitts takes a lot of flak from Eagle readers who find his work too focused on race. To be sure, his columns invite debate. But nothing justifies the death threats he’s reportedly received on a national level since a column, published in The Eagle June 4, challenged white supremacists’ assertions that two white murders in Knoxville, Tenn., reflect a surge in black-on-white violence. When the editor of the white supremacist Web site that posted Pitts’ personal information was contacted by the Miami Herald, he said, “We have no intention of removing Mr. Pitts’ personal information. Frankly, if some loony took the info and killed him, I wouldn’t shed a tear. That also goes for your whole newsroom.”

But it’s the dirty hippies of the Left who are the uncivil ones. Right.
Along similar lines, it’s worth noting that when asked to do so, ksgrm refused to distance herself from the threats made against Reggie Walton, the judge in the Scooter Libby case.
In general, the Right only denounces objectionable tactics when they are going to be used against the Right.
I have no idea what cf2k is referring to, as party affiliation has nothing to do with racism. I have, sadly, known racists who claim either party.
I read the column, and thought Pitts went a bit overboard, but so do many columnists. Nothing there, in my opinion, to garner death threats, but knowing how racism is still alive in Kansas, I’m not surprised.
I wish racism were not a problem in this country, or any for that matter, but it is. Shows just how stupid people can really be.
You can expect the neo cons and rightist Republicans to get nasty once they lose political power. They alaways have since time started. We can expect assinations, bombings and burnings. The right wing are made up most of people from the looney bin like Timothy McVeigh.
Mega-dittos to CF2K.
It was Ann Coulter who said Timothy McVeigh should have blown up the New York Times Building.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A26236-2005Apr4.html
“Sen. John Cornyn said yesterday that recent examples of courthouse violence may be linked to public anger over judges who make politically charged decisions without being held accountable.
“In a Senate floor speech in which he sharply criticized a recent Supreme Court ruling on the death penalty, Cornyn (R-Tex.) — a former Texas Supreme Court justice and member of the Judiciary Committee — said Americans are growing increasingly frustrated by what he describes as activist jurists.”
Violence and the threat of violence have always been what the right-wing has used to silence the opposition.
Look at our own home-grown terror organization, the KKK. Homeland Security has no problem with terrorists like that, who confine themselves against violence against blacks . . .
One could also point to the Black Panthers leaders shot in their beds in Chicago, M. L. King assassination, and anthrax that was only mailed to DEMOCRATS.
Or how about this hate-radio talk show host saying how he wanted to see Bill and Hillary Clinton “whacked” like something on The Sopranos?
Michael Graham on the Glenn Beck Show–
GRAHAM: I’m thinking about Hillary Clinton sitting there as the Carmela, you know, with this thing – you know –
BECK: Oh, and it’s so true.
GRAHAM: — with her large, overweight, powerful husband, and she’s using his power to get what she wants. At some point, I — but, seriously, Glenn, didn’t you at some point want to see, like, Paulie Walnuts (fictional character on The Sopranos), somebody come in here and just whack them both right there? Wouldn’t that have been great?
BECK: No, I did not want to see that.
GRAHAM: Come on! Where’s “Big Pussy” (Sopranos fictional character)? Come on! Let’s make it happen.
BECK: No, I did not want to see that.
GRAHAM: I wanted that.
overweight? — beck should have taken offense.
I agree with J M Walker basically, the story was a bit overboard, but nothing to get overly excited about.
However, trivializing someone’s murder is not a very good idea to do regardless of what race or ethnicity one is.
One the other point of the MSM not reporting a lot of things, the answer is yes.
For instance, where was the reporting of the Juneteenth beating death and murder of a hispanic and violence in other parts of the country during the Juneteenth celebration events?
They were no were to be found in the MSM.http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,286072,00.html
What the white supremacist Web site did was wrong and I think could be prosecuted under hate crime promotion, but I’m not an attorney – don’t know.
Hey. What death threats? It sounds like free speech by both sides so far.
Actually! White Supremacist are usually Democrats.
Joe
Aren’t they more like anarchists? and not affiliated with any party.
Joe – go phuck yourself.
It is hysterical that you people try to assign left or right labels to racists. Hysterical. You have missed the whole topic of the thread. Go get’em labelers!!!
Whenever I have an editorial published about abortion or gun control, I’m amazed at the hate mail I get. There are sickos everywhere.It’s sad that in a country known for it’s freedom of speech, one can’t express an opinion without getting threatened.
The Juneteenth violence was reported on all three MSM networks, as well as CNN and MSNBC.
“Actually! White Supremacist are usually Democrats.”
Absolute nonsense. At one time, at least in the American south, that was true as southern whites primarily self identified as Democrats. That is no longer true. Southern whites are now predominately Republican (note, I am not necessarily advancing the claim that southern whites still tend to be racists, but legally enacted institutional racism was primarily found in the American south, and there was obviously considerable conflict as federal courts and then congress legally overturned local and state based institutionalized racism).
I have no idea which party the whacko fringe racists prefer (I think they tend to hate both).
The threats against Leonard Pitts are inexcusable. In fact, I get annoyed by the predicatable whining about Pitts (who is no radical by any stretch of the imagination) every time he posts one of his thoughtful columns about racial relations.
His comments on the column in question were dead on. More to the point, he did not in any way minimize the crime he was discussing (he sure as hell didn’t sugar coat his description of it), but rightfully condemning its use to drum up racist paranoia and recruiting.
Like he said:
“And here I’m obligated, because I’m black, to say that if the defendants in this case did what they are accused of doing, I’d be happy to see them rot under the jailhouse. Sadly, that needs saying, because there are people who will not take it as a given.”
Any reasonable human being would be horrified by such an act. And that SHOULD be taken as a given
Good points Sol. We got wackoes on both sides.
An aside on “whacking” Clinton. Imus did a cute skit with his “Ghost on Richard Nixon” suggesting that Clinton’s ‘member’ be whacked with a ruler. I thought that was a good idea.
Leonard Pitts is as predictable in his columns as the sun coming up in the morning. So what? He and I have had several email conversations, and while we often disagree, there has been plenty to agree upon. WIll hate groups and “advantage’ groups play every little thing they can? Sure, so what? So does AL Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. It’s what they do.Regardless, nobody should be subject to death threats because of their speech, written or verbal. Fricking ridiculous, and I suspect, mostly frivolous in intent. Still, they should be found out and persecuted. However, I am sure it is not only Pitts that have received such threats, people verbalizing opinion on both sides get them all the time, ya think?
Death threats? Big Deal!
Dad used to get these all the time from disgruntled factory workers.
His approach – Invite them over to the house for a chat. Funny, no one ever took him up on his offer.
The shotgun was always ready at my house growing up. Never had to be fired for defense though.
Thank God there’s a 2nd Amendment!
Sadly, there are ‘terrorists’ on both of the extreme ends of the political spectrum.
The difference is that conservatives don’t use each act of left-wing terrorism to condemn the liberals or their ideas.
Also, there never seems to be the MSM feeding frenzy associated with left-wing acts of terrorism like the ones associated with the right-wing kooks.
Hank
Hank, can you name just ONE left wing terrorist attack that has occurred recently??
Good point Chas. Come to think of it I’m not aware of too many “liberal” organizations who hold violence to be OK, like neo-Nazis, the KKK, etc. I guess the answer must be the ACLU (it always is).
Chas,
Would you like to start with ARK, ELF, Earth First, or PETA?
I said name one terrorist attack that has taken place recently…
Dear Chas,
Yes.
Hank
Well…. I’m waiting???
Nathan,
good list…ty. However, the goals of none of these organizations is purposeful harm to people, esp. violence on the perceived enemy; McVeigh, for example, considered the gvt. and the FBI in particular as his opponents..and he took deliberate action to kill some of these opponents.
Nathan, I am a Liberal… But, I consider a group like PETA, with all of their kooks, to be in the same category as Right Wing terrorists… And whenever they DO something stupid, they always seem to get coverage of the MSM
Kazinski comes to mind … he was quite a few years back though.
Chas,
All right then. Well, I am a Conservative.
I don’t agree with the terrorist attacks which those who are claimed to be on “the right” committ.
Right Ben, the UnaBomber…
Nathan, I presume you would include “Operation Rescue” in that group that you do not approve??
As Hank and I both said – we have our nutcases on both sieds – and the rest of us don’t want anything to do with them.
By way of example – if I join Hank and Nathan in the ’shootout’ at Afton I will not fear watching my back with them. (Although they might with me because of lousy aim! ;^))
BTW, Nathan, all those groups you list (ELF is no longer active, according to Google), are basically environmental and Animal Rights groups… SOME of them are pretty far out there… But they dont seem to attack PEOPLE…
Dear Chas,
“However, the goals of none of these organizations is purposeful harm to people, esp. violence on the perceived enemy;”
Here is an article that might just enlighten you a little.
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/editorialsopinion/2003012090_terred23.html
“But, I consider a group like PETA, with all of their kooks, to be in the same category as Right Wing terrorists…”
Well there you have it! Right wing terrorists are terrorists and left wing terrorists are right wing terrorists.
Senseless to debate reasoning like that, you win.
Hank
Chas,
Terrorism is not only killing people.
It is destroying their property and intimidation as well.
So as long as the KKK is not killing anyone you think they are ok?
Chas,
What has Operation Resuce done?
Earth Liberation Front (ELF) and Animal Liberation Front (ALF) still carry on acts of malicious vandalism.
Not sure if it is classified as terrorism, but I think the FBI classifies that way.
Nathan, either fortunately, or unfortunately, the KKK seems to have the Constitutional protection of freedom of belief… IF they do violence against people, or property, then they move beyond that right to their beliefs, and break the Law… I dont have to agree with their beliefs, in order to realize that they have a RIGHT to them…
If ELF and ALF (Google says they are defunct, and without organization) commit acts of vandlism, I suppose they could be called Terrorist acts… The issue here is where do you find a RECENT account of such an act???
Hank –
Interesting Op-Ed piece… Looks like that case dates back to 1998… I thought the last lines to be somewhat interesting>>>
“Do not undercut the fight against ecoterrorism with marginal cases and prison terms that mock the notion of justice. Stay focused on those who would use flames to change minds.”
Nathan – I think it was an OR group that was working with the Atlanta Olympic Park bomber (he bombed a bunch of other places too).
There is some outfit (Earthfirst!?) that has torched housing developments and vehicle dealerships.
Hank — BTW, I think the Seattle Times would classify as MSM…
Nathan — OR has done MANY acts of violence… bombing abortion clinics… stalking abortion clinic workers and doctors… even here in Wichita, they bird dog Dr. Tiller every chance they get… You know, little terroristic things that intimidate people…
Oh, Hank, I did not mean to infer that PETA, and ELF/ALF, or EarthFirst, are INDEED Right wing groups… I just meant to say that I had never seen PETA, in particular, as having a Left Wing agenda… Just wanted to be clear on that… If they are indeed Left Wing, and they damage property and intimidate, then they need to be hauled into Courts and convicted, just as much as abortion clinic bombers, and the Tulsa Fed. Bldg. group…
sorry i got tulsa on the brain… the OKC Fed. bldg. group…
Well Chas,
To illustrate my point, the Unabomber, which I consider a terrorist had one book in his possession when arrested.
Do you know what it was?
I bet that if the title was “The Way Things Ought to Be” everyone would know!
Peta isn’t what I’d call a terrorist group, although if you showed dogs in conformation you might. However, they will not condemn organizations like ELF/ALF and in some cases have given financial support for legal expenses to terrorists.
Chas – and didn’t Tiller get shot?
Well, what’s this, a black woman and her family torture to death her White foster son and brutalise his sister. I wonder if this case will make the msm, I wonder if we will see this on cnn, like Imus and the Duke rape hoax. I wonder if “cry me a river” Pitts will opine on this? Nah, nothing to see here folks, move along, move along.
Foster mother guilty in Isaac’s deathAdams-Rogers jailed before sentencingJune 19, 2007
BY JACK KRESNAK
FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER
Saying she questioned the character of a former Detroit foster mother and her family, a Wayne County judge jailed the woman moments after a jury convicted her Monday of involuntary manslaughter and child abuse in the death of a 2-year-old boy in her home in August.
The jury of nine women and three men took a little more than two hours to convict Charlsie Adams-Rogers, 60, on charges related to the Aug. 16 beating death of Isaac Lethbridge, who had been placed in Rogers’ foster home six weeks earlier. Adams-Rogers, also known as Paris Rogers, was acquitted of a misdemeanor child abuse charge involving Isaac’s 4-year-old sister.http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070619/NEWS02/706190357/1001/rss01
It truly saddens me that there are still such violent racists spreading their crap on the world. I’ve spent over 45 years fighting racism and most other ‘isms, along with a lot of other good people, and I’d hoped that by now, that kind of hatred would extinct as dodo birds, and we’d have to go to some museum to see a moth-eaten stuffed racist! Unfortunately, that fight’s not over yet.
Chas,Operation Rescue, at least locally, while they do employ former terrorists, is mostly just a cash cow Troy Newman uses to buy SUV’s and rental property.
On one day I filmed Operation Rescue physically attacking two people (I was one of the people who was attacked, another an elderly man who just went through knee surgery). I’ve been physically attacked by members of Operation Rescue on numerous occasions. Now they won’t have the backing of a conservative mayor and city council.
Right now the antis are planning their “Paul Hill Days” where they will reenact an assassination of a doctor and one of his staff. Troy Newman views Paul Hill as innocent and a political prisoner. Nice folks. Someday our government will conduct a war on terror and Operation Rescue’s days will be numbered.
“Right now the antis are planning their “Paul Hill Days” where they will reenact an assassination of a doctor and one of his staff.”
Wow. care to share the source of that information? I’d like to spread it to those who still believe in the innocence of “the antis”
Yeah, Doug–
I was attacked too at the ten year anniversary of “The Summer of Mercy.”
I was counter-protesting and a winger tried to knock me off the sidewalk with her kid in a stroller.
Fortunately, my Aikeido training came in handy and I was able to side-step them at the last second.
I couldn’t believe that some woman would use her CHILD as a weapon.
Really f*cked up . . .
Doug: No offense but you have no credibility with anyone interested in the truth. You represent the radical militant left pro-aborts. If you were in fact attacked, I bet those who did it were goaded into it and set up. Right?
That was a close one Capn. You could’ve been hurt bad! But your training saved you, from a lady with a stroller…. funny.
So, Hank — What was the one book the Unabomber had??? Was it the one you mentioned??

Newman ALSO uses his position locally to constantly bird dog Dr. Tiller, and other employees of Tiller’s clinic… They also follow “patients” of the clinic, and personally/verbally attack them… That is a “terror/style” attack…
I am getting REAL tired of this CAPTCHA contraption….
Glad your safe Capn! Next time it could be the lethal flying teddy bear!
People do get rather worked up when viable babies are being illegally butchered for a big, fat price. The black community suffers an abortion rate 3 times higher. Planned Parenthood targets ‘em for population reduction. Then the scarred mothers later suffer a premature birth rate and infant mortality rate 3 times higher, in later pregnancies.Can’t say it’s their choice, because many, probably most, enter abortion mills under some type of coercion. They should know there’s various kinds of help from pro-lifers to stand up for their baby.
Capn — Good thing you had the speed to side-step that woman with the stroller… A collision could have severely injured that small child she had with her, that is so important to protect… WTG CapN!!!

While I agree that this is distasteful, has nothing to do with a proper christian attitude, and plain wrong, it has little semblence to terrorism.
I’ll say what I always say.
Surely all you “pro lifers” including the seeming new kook parkay are in favor of the repeal of welfare reform, yes? YOU know, caring about those who actually got born? Please do indicate your support for a repeal of welfare reform and universal health care forthwith! Or… risk the charge of hypocrisy. That’s what got me outta the “pro life” …thing.
Ohh myyy Parkay… If you really believe those lies, then you need help!! NOBODY is coerced into having an abortion… NOBODY is forced to make that CHOICE!! If you have been told differently, you have been lied to… As for Planned Parenthood, the organization speaks for itself… It has never been in favor of population reduction of any racial group… That is another LIE by the Reich Wing fringe… I know of MANY NON Blacks who have been helped immensely by Planned Parenthood!!
Parkay,Whoa there, you are saying a lot of things that beg the question of what is your source?
L J — Upthread, it was stated that terrorism includes vandalism, and intimidation tactics as well as violence… Oper. Rescue is well known for blowing up abortion clinics, and for shooting abortion workers/doctors as well… It IS a terrorist organization… Remember, abortion is LEGAL – They are trying to intimidate people into NOT doing something that is LEGAL… Apply that notion to anything else that is legal to do… and I think you can see the problem…
Example: Notice the attitudes of many posters here who favor the new CC laws, and what they feel about businesses that post the NO GUNS stickers…
“L J — Upthread, it was stated that terrorism includes vandalism, and intimidation tactics as well as violence… {”
Well, I certainly don;t hold to that line. I guess I would call that intimidation.
“Oper. Rescue is well known for blowing up abortion clinics, and for shooting abortion workers/doctors as well… It IS a terrorist organization…”
I know there have been some pro-lifers that have gone over the edge and to the dark side, but Idon’t think that is the tactics of THE organization. By the way, i deplore their tactics, and think they should cease and desist. Though I certainly understand making the connection. One reason I suggest people who have honest and heartfelt convictions shy away from this organization. Quite simply, they have lost their way (if they ever had it). In any case,I have no love or use for Operation Rescue
And when was the last clinic bombing? When was the last abortion provider shot? Anything recent? Just echoing your question about recent “left wing” attacks.
Well, the local intimidations of Tiller here locally are ongoing on a daily and weekly basis… You might not call it terror style tactics, but those who have to endure it certainly do… There was the Atlanta Olympics Bomber, who was tied to O. R. who had also done other abortion clinic bombings… That hasnt been terribly long ago… I think you can probably find the exact dates in a Google search on Abortion Clinics/Violence/Operation Rescue…
I still think the leaders of both parties love to watch us tear at each other, picking sides, being crude to eacher other, etc., while they go about the same old stuff. We need to quite following agendas, and other peoples fights, look around, and defeat the real enemies of the people who take advantage of our divisiveness
BTW, L J… Nobody responded to my question about recent left wing terrorist attacks yet… The closest anybody got was Unibomber… That has been YEARS!!
And with that idea, L J, I would heartily agree with you!!
“Well, the local intimidations of Tiller here locally are ongoing on a daily and weekly basis… You might not call it terror style tactics, but those who have to endure it certainly do…”
Yeah, I can feel for them. It is indeed unfortunate that OR or others feel that this is okay to do. They should look at themselves in the light, not their own lights
gotta go all. Have a great evening!
Um…
The doctor was accosted by the producer of Bill O’Reilly’s show and asked “What do you think about being called Tiller the baby killer”? If that aint terroristic, I don’t know what is.
Say it with me. Abortion is going to remain legal and safe. You will sleep better and use your time more productively. Like helping the poor say?
I remember a number of years ago, there was a video circulating that purportedly showed an abortion in progress… It was intended as an intimidation film… After some investigation/research, it was proven that the “abortion” was actually a D & C procedure performed on a large breed DOG…
No apologies were ever made…
J R — AMEN!! to that!!
Yes Chas. I can understand why you’d be upset at that. D&C’s on large breed dogs just have to be much more horrible than human abortions. After all, everyone loves puppies.
Save the baby humans!
The Unibomber wasn’t a liberal, he was a terrorist libertarian.
Christ.
Like I said look in the next couple of years as the cons see they are losing more and more power. If the democrats win the white house and increase in the house and Senate you will certainly see the usual suspects crawling out to make you hear the conservative cry of pain. The Klan, Nazi and skinheads that idolize McVeigh, Eric Randolph Rudolph and the other fruit cake cons. They will start shooting at abortion doctors, bombing clincs and maybe even a Federal building or 2. They will get guns and go to Wyoming and Montana and make mischief like Randy Weaver did. Hey! Maybe that is not a bad idea! Stick ALL the cons into a few states! Maybe give them Alabama and Montana…..
Outlander, you missed the point…”D&C’s on large breed dogs just have to be much more horrible than human abortions.” The movie purported to be a HUMAN abortion flick… It was PHONY… FAKE… a HOAX… Get it??
Thanks Clark… I thought the Unibomber wasnt a Liberal… But I wanted to see how far some of these good folk would stretch it..
“The doctor was accosted by the producer of Bill O’Reilly’s show and asked “What do you think about being called Tiller the baby killer”? If that aint terroristic, I don’t know what is.”
JR, I missed that, when did that happen? This seems to be O’Reilly’s new tactic, ambush people. One person that had that happen to them filed charges against the producer.
Speaking of “fair and balance” Fox News who gives less time on reporting on what’s happening in Iraq than other news outlet:
Fox News continues to divert their readers and viewers attention away from the war in Iraq with any number of “tabloid-type” stories. On a day when the U.S. military announced 14 U.S. troops had been killed in Iraq, the three lead stories on the Fox News web site were: (1) a story about a 13-year old who had her feet severed on a Kentucky amusement park ride, (2) how the search for the missing Canton, Ohio mother was called off because of thunderstorms, and (3) how sewage spilled out of the toilets on a Continental Airlines flight. Not one mention of the 14 U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq on the front page of the Fox News web site The same treatment of the deaths of the 14 U.S. soldiers was evident on all the Fox News television programs where “tabloid-type” stories took precedence over the death of 14 young Americans in Iraq.
??????? That has happened just within the past 2 months… O’Reilly is a #$%^&% to put it nicely…. LOL
Hell, the only good politician is listed in the Obits.
The media are cowardly, bought and paid for, and increasingly irrelevant. Affirmative action Pitts should quit while he is ahead.
The American media hold a special place in my heart for their faith in diversity. In the recent Duke case, with which I presume everyone is familiar, a lying black whore (she was lying, she was black, and she was a whore: I suppose I should identify her as Snow White’s sister and a pediatric nurse.) accused innocent college kids of raping her, whereupon the entire complex of media and governments piled on, ruining the boys’ lives. The racial aspect got tremendous attention: White racists in the South abusing a poor black girl. This is a favorite template of the media.
Many see the hooker of Duke as just trying to get attention or money. Perhaps she was, but she was also trying to get the white kids put in the slam for many years (where, incidentally, they would almost certainly have become the sex toys of a heavily black population.) This should be a serious crime with heavy penalties. It doesn’t seem to be.
But in the Tennessee case, the crime was real, and hideous. It didn’t fit the template, though, so both the government and the media tried to smother the crime and to conceal the race of the criminals. This is the government to which I’m supposed to be loyal.
Note that in both cases the crimes were racial. The whore in the Duke case knew, had to know, how to work the racial angle. So did the prosecutor, who was perfectly willing to destroy the kids to advance his career, though he got disbarred for it. He ought to be jailed. With respect to the Tennessee case, note that rape is not primarily a sexual crime. Any man who wants to get laid can find a hooker for twenty bucks on a downtown street corner. It’s easy. Men know that it’s easy. Rape? You don’t risk life in jail on a murder charge for a few minutes of lousy sex.
You do it from hatred. If you really hate whites, you make a white girl give you a blow job in front of her boyfriend. It’s a kick. On your knees, bitch….Then you wash out her mouth with Drano or whatever to destroy the evidence.
Why do the government and the press consciously hide the race of criminals? Part of it is abject cowardice. Part of it is reflex, the journalistic templating that is now almost genetic. Reporters are not thoughtful. White-on-black crime is something you write about. Black-on-white isn’t. Truth doesn’t matter. A reporter wants to keep his job and get along in the news room. You don’t make waves where you work.
The deeper reason, though, is otherwise. If the press reported the extent of black crime, hell could easily break loose. There are limits to forbearance, even federally enforced forbearance. Racial animosity is high in the United States but papered over, with mention of it verboten in the media and punished by heavy penalties, such as losing jobs. Things are not getting better. Blacks burn a city every ten years or so. Los Angeles, Cincinnati, DC, Newark, Watts, what have you.Whites are cowed and submissive but very often quietly hostile. Any white man with a daughter will look at Christian and think, “My kid could be next.”
More diversity. Search on “Wichita Horror.” The usual rape, torture, mandatory blowjobs, and murder. The media also suppressed this story.
As for black crime in general, I spent over six years as a police reporter, riding at least weekly in a variety of cities, usually in black sections because that’s where the crime was. There’s a saying that you can bullshit the fans but you can’t bullshit the players. I know what is out there. So does every cop, every prosecutor and most urban reporters, unless they cover runway fashion. None will say it. To tell the truth is a firing offense. It’s another world downtown, troops, nothing like anything most people have ever imagined.
What is out there are very high rates of black crime, much of it targeted at whites, with interracial rape being almost entirely black-on-white. The blacks of the slums hate whites. This isn’t my overactive imagination. Check The Color of Crime. The figures come from the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reports, and the National Crime Victimization Survey.
If you have any doubts about the attitude of the media, ask your local TV channel to hold a live debate with Jared Taylor, who compiled the figures. If the media could show his numbers to be false, they would crucify him in a heartbeat. But he’s right and they know it. They are unlikely let him near a microphone.
If things were getting better, then holding the lid on, pretending and lying, might make sense: a few more years, one might say, and blacks downtown will assimilate and the whole sordid mess will evaporate. But things are getting, if anything, worse….http://www.fredoneverything.net/FOE_Frame_Column.htm
Wow.
I feel dumber just for having read the first paragraph.
Imagine if I had read the whole thing.
I’d be a moron like Sgt. Slaughter.
Mr. Pitts chooses to ignore the real world facts: white people are victims too. The attitude that just because you are white equates to great health, wealth, education, and privilege is as outdated as slavery. I find his attitude to be an insult to white people and to logical intelligence. I think an apology from him is in order. Perhaps he should lose his job. I listen to news radio 5 days a week and never heard the crime story he refers to. I only heard of his personal info being posted by the white group. My guess is that Mr. Pitts did not hear about the horrific Carr brothers’ black-on-white crimes. Robbery was not enough for them. They terrorized, humiliated, repeatedly raped & sodomized, and murdered their victims, including beating to death with a golf club the white people’s lap dog. The Carrs searched out white victims, thinking they would score more loot, so what was the motivation for all the other heinous actions? Hatred of white people? Mr. Pitts needs to get off his high horse and adjust his “blacks will always be the only victims” attitude. It shows his true color. Way to tell it, Sgt. Slaughter!
