Media Narrative: Half-Black Oregon Killer is a "White Supremacist"

Was he a Half-White Supremacist?

According to the LA Times, Chris Harper Mercer, the Oregon killer, was a "White Supremacist".

One slight problem. Mercer identified as multi-racial. His mother was black. He doesn't seem to have even known his father. He identified with black TV killer Vester Lee Flanagan.

This doesn't seem to have stopped the media with George Zimmerman who was labeled a white Hispanic, so maybe Chris Harper Mercer was a white Black? Was he a Half-White Supremacist?

I'm not an expert on "White Supremacism", but being half-black and then shooting a bunch of white Christians would make him the worst White Supremacist ever. If being half-white and hating white Christians makes you a White Supremacist... then Obama should be investigated for being a White Supremacist.

So far we've got media accounts of him being into paganism, the IRA and an anti-Christian "conservative Republican". His mother claimed that he was mentally ill. That last one is probably the most relevant of the bunch.

Now it's not impossible for a half-black man to be into Nazi gear and IRA posters and just about anything he likes. There were plenty of black soldiers fighting for Hitler. But it's disingenuous to pretend that he's the poster boy for a movement whose members wouldn't have him.

Right now there's no coherent identity here. And that's normal for crazy people. And it's either that or Mercer was one of the half-white Neo-Nazi IRA anti-Christian Republican killers. And you know how big of a problem they are.

Liberals twisting facts once again to suit their agenda. Same ole, same ole.

[Regulator]

They just made it up. Knee Jerk reaction.

If the guy was a card carrying ISIS / Al Qaida / Taliban operative they’d still scream “white supremacist!” initially because they know it would be an impression that would stick, even if they have to retract it on page 30 tomorrow.

Again, Clayton Bigsby was apparently ahead of his time. Or something.

[TBP]

They know better, but they promote this meme anyway.

Here’s my prediction. The new narrative will be that he’s was full of self-loathing because of his black ancestry and he committed these crimes to curry favor with white supremacists while simultaneous striking back at white’s for making him feel bad for being black.

[Irenic]

Then why did he kill mostly all white people?

[Lazamataz]

The LA Times doesn’t even try any more. They just lie and proudly wear the Badge of Prevarication.

[Lazamataz]

That’s a GREAT pretzel. You should be an LA Times paid liar!

[Grampa Dave]

Time to identify the bad seed genome to protect innocent Americans, before these walking time bombs go postal!

[stansblugrassgrl]

Well, if a white woman can self-identity as a black woman, and a man can self identify as a woman, a half black person can self-identify as a white supremacist who hates white Christians. It’s the “New normal”.

God help us.

And Obama said that crime has gone down in areas with stricter gun control. Obama and his Media are much of a muchness. They lie and put it forth as truth......and the LIVs are none the wiser. Sadly, I have some friends who believe everything he says. I thought they were smarter. PS-did any of you see the cartoon of Obama playing Putin, on a chessboard, with checkers and saying ‘Bingo’? Obama is so thin skinned he addressed this yesterday “Obama insisted during an afternoon news conference at the White House. “This is not some superpower chessboard contest. And anybody who frames it in that way isn’t paying very close attention to what’s been happening on the chessboard.” And the LIVs continue in their ignorance. Meanwhile, our country becomes more and more irrelevant on the International stage.

I’m guessing in that region of the country at a small community college like that, there were very few black students. It would be interesting to know if any black kids were even in the classroom. Not defending him but I don’t see the targeting white’s angle.

I think the mental health and religion angles are the key. This just sounds like another mentally disabled, no father, fame craving lunatic, that was full of evil.

[ncpatriot]

Are the police involved in investigation reporting this (white supremacist)?

[Twotone]

It’s been confirmed that he was actually a registered Independent, not a Republican. He either deliberately posted that lie about being a conservative Republican, knowing what the media would do with that tidbit after his crime, or someone else deliberately hacked his information & added it. I can easily believe either one of these. Evil is always thinking...

[miss marmelstein]

Sounds like a plan to me, Duke.

Credit to a freeper who’s screen name I forgot, but he referred to the killer as a halfricanamerican. Guess that applies to the President too. But it’s better than deciding white or black based on the spin the media wants to put on things. I haven’t noticed any articles which refer to his race as black.
