Okay, there are a lot of poor black criminals that were in Louisiana before the hurricane, and they were raising even more hell after it. Why is it important that they are black? Most criminals are idiots, regardless of color. It's just not a good lifestyle choice. How is the fact that black criminals choose race to justify their nonsense significant?



It is significant since, while great social power is opposed to white racism, black bigotry is not nearly as rejected. Jesse Jackson gets to call NYC "hymietown" and gets no real public scorn. Al Sharpton called whites and jews how do business in black neighborhoods "white interlopers and diamond traders", plus he knowingly accused an innocent man of rape, Steve Pagones, and got hit with a massive civil judgement. Louis Farrakhan is a case which should require no specific examples. Yet all these people are respectable enough to get interviewed on Meet The Press, unlike equivalent white bigots like Tom Metzger.

The fact that the criminals are largely Black has kept the media from covering the wholesale assaults on whites in NOLA the way they covered the isolated incident of James Byrd's dragging by three ex-cons, for example.

So you're saying they do cover a lot of stories show white racists? I haven't noticed this. The Atlanta Olympic bomber was a racist, Eric Rudolph I think his name was. The media mentioned that, but it wasn't a big part of the story.




I thought Rudolph was primarily an anti-abortion militant, as did most people. Most of his crimes were against abortion doctors. Unfortunately, the U.S. media views racism as purely unique to white males. When politicians like Charles Barron talk about how they want to "slap white people for their mental health" because it's a "black thing", he gets no political penalty. When Trent Lott said what he did about voting for Strom Thurmond for President, all hell broke loose and he was pressured to step down as Republican majority leader.

You think in that clip that I put up of Geraldo, that if Geraldo knew that there were thugs in that convention center with him, that he wouldn't have reported it?



Are you familiar with Geraldo? He was a militant minority activist/journalist in the seventies. He's a militant liberal now, and a token liberal for Fox. I doubt he'd touch on any issue like that - it goes against his ideology to suggest that Blacks can be anything other than victims, and certainly not predators. NOLA had a crime rate ten times the national average before Katrina and, if the Superdome population is representative of the city, it would be bursting at the seams with criminals.

Geraldo may have indeed been oblivious, but, even if not, he wouldn't be inclined to admit it on camera. Fox would probably just arrange a stronger bodyguard detail and have him hold more Black babies and start weeping.

Quote:


I put an excerpt up from the New York Times somewhere in this forum that said how the convention center members were afraid of the thugs. That if they told the police, or even Geraldo I bet, the thugs would have made them pay.




Some articles have mentioned the criminality and fear, but none of America's domestic media have made observations about the racial violence that consumes the NOLA refugees. This matters strongly, since NOLA refugees are being relocated to cities filled with naive white liberals who have no clue what they could be unleashing upon their communities or even into their own homes. The public needs to be explicitly told that many of these refugees hold militant racial views, are strongly inclined towards violence, and are coming to neighborhoods near them. It's the same logic as that behind Megan's Law: public awareness saves lives and prevents victimization.

As a personal bias note. I've talked to some white guy who've spent some time in prison. Those black guys are more racist than anybody they've ever met. So, yeah, there's a lot of racism amongst the blacks stupid enough to wind up in jail. But, I promise you. You go find some ignorant redneck white guy from the mountains, you find just as much racism there.



White racism definitely exists. Black racism definitely exists. However, it is not socially contraversial to denounce white bigotry, but black bigotry is frequently excused or rationalized as the product of "oppression" or "the legacy of slavery" or something equally asinine. Whites don't have such excuses, thankfully. All I ask is that black-on-white crimes get the same response as white-on-black crimes. In the case of NOLA, lives are at stake if people aren't honestly informed of what the government is shipping into their neighborhoods and schools.
