"Hands Up, Don't Loot!" by the 'Sultan Knish'

[brushy bill]

I'm surprised in the sense that there have always been a few "ghetto" areas not safe for whites, just as I'm sure there are some redneck/biker areas that still aren't safe for blacks. But in my experiences these were very specific and confined areas where this kind of blatant bullshit could happen.

What surprises me is how "mainstream" black racism and violent action has become. In the Trayvon Martin case and perhaps the Michael Brown incident, the "victims" seem to have been the aggressors. By contrast, the McDonalds beating deaths, the victims were just that, innocent victims.

If Trayvon Martin had been white and was shot and killed attacking a black police security guard we'd have never known his name. If Michael Brown had been a white kid attacking a black cop and did indeed go for his gun, it would have been declared a "good shoot" and we'd have never known his name.

Just like most of America has never heard to the white kids beaten to death at McDonalds. Just like nobody has heard of Patrick Lavoie. But if Patrick Lavoie was black, and was shot while trying to get into the vehicle of a white driver, he'd be another civil rights martyr.

As I said before, we aren't even "separate but equal" anymore. The blatant racial double standard is appalling and the worse part of it is nobody is going to do anything about it.

Nice post

I don't know any white folk who would want to go to theses areas. Nothing there for me as for as I can see. Birds of a feather flock together.

You mean a college town McDonalds that is completely different during the day? What college kid WOULDN'T go to a local McDonalds, especially if they had to use the bathroom. They didn't go down to the 5th ward.

And I'm sorry, that "birds of a feather" is sorta the same bullshit that is currently causing problems all over the nation. That blacks should only be around blacks and white only around whites. It's what motivates blacks to cover for other blacks even when it's wrong. And it isn't any better if white people do it.

Personally I'd love to completely move past "race" and get to "good people" and "bad people" and just indiscriminately get rid of bad people. I have nothing more in common with white "gangster thugs" than I do with black "gangster thugs", except of course pigment which is meaningless to me.

If you reversed this equation and several hundred white gangster thug pieces of shit beat two innocent black college students to death over race, I wouldn't feel any commonality with the "white guys" and I'd have wished the "black kids" a means to defend themselves.

And if we can get rid of all the thugs and other gangster pieces of shit, I'll share my McDonalds with any decent person who happens to come in. I have a god damn dream.

Yeah, I wasn't meaning a college town area but tough intercity areas that we are all aware exist. You know the kind of places I keep my Yugo Underfolder in my front seat on the rare occasion when I have to drive through these areas. I agree with all your statements and yet I don't feel the same threat in white ghetto areas but also don't stop to bullshit with them on the corner either. I live in the country and away from city gang areas 99% of the time. As far as going to the bathroom, I'll piss on the side of the highway before dealing with 400 thugs of any color at a fast food joint, I ain't got no time for that shit. These kids were young, been drinking and probably not as streetwise as a lot of us and paid way too high of a price for their mistakes IMHO.

So, my friend just posted this on Facebook. It's comparing Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin to Jesus. (Or maybe I skimmed through it too quickly...)

I doubt the author has spent any time actually reading the good book to form those opinions.

I don't know if you read the article, but it basically says that what "they" need is a martyr that is "perfect". That is, they had dirt on Trayvon and Brown, so it didn't work out in the end.

Amazing that in 50 years we've gone from Whites Only to Black Only. But I doubt there will be many freedom riders to challenge the current racism.

True statement, it seems society is afraid to deal with facts. All this in Ferguson and meanwhile in Chicago / Detroit it's still a freaking war zone. Even rappers getting shot in the news and where good 'ol Al and Jesse. How dumb do they really think we are? Obviously quite a bit, or at least no one is stating the facts for fear of being called racist. Disgusting.

OK, now I'm following along.

But the only place we differ is I had some friends who lived in some of those "ghetto" areas and I wasn't afraid to go pick them up or drop them off at 2am. Of course I knew where I was and was mindful of the environment. By the same token I don't drop my guard just because I'm in a mostly white trailer park populated by whatever POS meth gang is running things.

And that is the problem, right there.

Black racism that doesn't understand racism is racism. White people don't need a martyr, a community leader or a spokesperson because the vast majority of us live as free individuals rather than as "white people." My wants, needs and political viewpoints are not represented by Bill Clinton anymore than they are represented by Barrack Obama.

Culturally I have far more in common with Bruce Lee than any white athlete. I don't stay up at night worried about if white people are proportionally and fairly represented in the NBA, the hip hop community or at "black colleges." I'd rather spend time with Neil Tyson, Zahi Hawass and Dan Inosanto than most "famous" white people.

I don't wake up and think about if I'm acting "white", dressing "white" or worry about if my music is "white." And that is why most "black people" will never be free no matter what they do. So long as they define themselves as "black" and live by the confines of those definitions, they will always be enslaved by those who put those definitions in place. In a very real sense, racism is slavery.

There are two groups who honestly believe "black people" are a homogenous group with unique and special characteristics. One group is the "black community", the second group is the other "racist" organizations like the KKK and skinheads. They only differ in the belief of how that first group should be treated.

That most people, even educated people, can't seem to understand that is almost as troubling as the fact that this form of mental slavery is being promoted as beneficial and positive.

Honest question referring to the bolded statement, and hopefully not too off-topic:

Isn't this due to the fact that blacks have been oppressed historically?

From my experience, many aren't exactly awarded the same opportunities as most whites, i.e. they grow up in bad areas, raised by sub-par parents, forced to go to sub-par schools and surrounded by crime.
