Y'know, I am getting pretty fuckin' tired

Of this sort of thing.

Couple of points:

When a black man murders white people, for some reason it isn't "racially motivated", but when a white kid kills some black people, it must be racially motivated. Couldn't just be crime, could it?

And because he once wore a cap that had a Confederate flag, we must scrub all the US from ever having anything honoring the dedication and honorable service of the confederate soldiers.

If every time a back man murdered a white person, can we strip some statue of MLK? Or (perhaps) remove Harriet Tubman from replacing a white guy on currency? If we find that the black kid committing a crime has an X hat, can we start changing the street names and other monuments to the Black civil rights movement?

Logic would say so...


And then there is this bullshit. (and I actually agree with his ENTIRE statement about when power and responsibility should shift. ...)

ETA: For those assholes who won't bother to learn the quote that I am referring to:

"I believe in white supremacy until the blacks are educated to a point of responsibility. I don't believe in giving authority and positions of leadership and judgment to irresponsible people," " (this was in the early 70's, BTW)

Now where, exactly was that racist? (see also Baltimore and Detroit for examples as to why he was correct.....)

  1. I agree. The ironic thing about the "Harriet Tubman" deal is that she was actually a "bush bandit" in South Carolina before she became an "icon" of the underground railway. What you don't hear is that she was handsomely paid for her work there by the abolitionists in New England, it was no labor of love. She carried a Colt revolver and was renowned for using it on anyone, white or black, that crossed her. But none of that makes it into the general history books anymore. Instead she's pictured as a sort of black Mother Teresa.
