Can’t you see the headlines? 89-Year-Old African American Wounded World
War II Veteran of Battle of Okinawa Viciously Beaten to Death by Two White
Youths. 'Bored' White Oklahoma Teens
Randomly Kill 22-Year-Old Black College Student.
Can’t you hear the outrage? Burn,
baby burn. America decried as a
violent, racist society where African Americans are targeted for discrimination,
degradation, and death. Jesse Jackson
and Al Sharpton call for a Million Man March to make the streets safe for
“black folks.” ABC interviews Barack
Hussein Obama who suggests that he could have been that student and the veteran
could have been his father.
But, as usual, the victims were white.
Commenting on surveillance photos, Spokane, Washington television
station KHQ reported on August 22, 2013 that the two black alleged murderers of
eighty-nine-year old Delbert Belton “are believed to be between 16 to 19 years
old and were wearing black clothes, while one suspect was seen wearing a black
‘do-rag’.” The article explained that
Belton's daughter-in-law said that the elderly gentleman “was hit with ‘big
heavy flashlights’ and doctors told her he was bleeding from all parts of his
face.” The police called Belton’s
murder, “a random attack.”
Chris Lane, a 22-year-old Oklahoma college baseball player, was shot in
the back as he jogged along the street.
In April, the alleged shooter, black 15-year-old James Edwards, had
tweeted, "90% of white ppl (people) are nasty. #HATE THEM," and "With
my niggers when it's time to start taken life's;" procuring the line from
a rap song by Chief Keef called, I Don't Like:
Fake Trues that's that shit I don't like
Fake shoes, that's that shit I don't like
Fake niggas, that's that shit I don't
like
Stalking ass bitch, shit I don't like
I done got indicted selling all white
But I won't never snitch none in my life
I keep this shit 3hunna bitch, I'm going
right
With my niggas when it's time to start
taking lifes
Playing both sides, shit that I don't
like
Wartime spark broad day, all night
Playing both sides, shit that I don't
like
Wartime spark broad day, all night
“Entertainment” media is so accepting of black-on-white violence that
Edwards could have gotten his inspiration from “visual arts” as well as from
rap music. For instance, Jamie Foxx
played to a rousing, giggling, howling crowd as he hosted Saturday Night live
when promoting his film, Django. On the
occasion, he boasted that his clothes were entirely black. Repeatedly he incited the raucous crowd by
making race-oriented comments then asking, “How black is that?” Most outrageously, Foxx screeched that through
his movie character, an escaped slave, Foxx was able to “…kill all the white
people in the movie. How GREAT is that and
how black is that?”
Was Chris Lane’s murder an example of socially-acceptable black-on-white
racial hatred? Of course not! The LA
Times heading rationalized that “Bored' Oklahoma teens randomly kill
Australian student.” Edwards and his
two accomplices were simply “bored” so, naturally, they “randomly” killed Lane.
How does one randomly kill?
Since I never have been able to figure that one out, I listened to
violence expert Dr. Chuck Williams, a Drexel University African American psychologist,
who on August 23, 2013 discussed the Lane murder with Scott Brown, a stand-in
host on “The O’Reilly Factor.” At first,
Williams proved mostly informed and informative. He had “cred,” as they say on the street;
cred that is until Brown quoted Williams’ aforementioned bigoted,
murderous remarks and then asked
Williams if he believed that race played a significant role in Lane’s being
gunned down. InCREDibly, the good doctor
said, “no.”
The Dr. Williams interview demonstrates once more that the conduct of
racial discussions has little or nothing to do with the intelligence or
academic credentials of participants.
In our country, racial discussions are not about objective facts; they
are all about identity. In matters of race, psychologists, other
social scientists, media personnel and politicians are as conflicted; perhaps more conflicted,
than the general population. It is an
identity-based white vs. black, us vs. them, concede nothing, win or lose irrational
battle. Especially when whites are
racial victims and/or blacks are racial aggressors, racial double standards,
double speak, and double binds take center stage.
Until a violence expert/university professor readily can acknowledge on
national television that 2 + 2 = 4, America never will be free from racial
hatred and oppression, a two-sided hatred and oppression that are both
white-on-black and black-on-white, one in which overt, physical violence
against whites by blacks is a predominant feature. Eighty-nine-year old Delbert Belton and 22-year-old
Chris Lane soon will fade from the nation’s consciousness, only to be replaced
by two more victims of unchallenged, pervasive, perverse anti-white racism.
