I can’t be more specific than reply 19 from above.
What?
No eggs?
Not to mention a fine opportunity to loot, pillage, and burn!
>> and this guy wants to whine about whiteness!
Just an angry, benighted bigot looking for a fight.
“Chauncey”
Judge me by my enemies. Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Juan Williams, Herman Cain, Alex Jones, World Net Daily, Twitchy, the Free Republic, NewsBusters, the Media Research Council, Project 21, and Weasel Zippers have made it known that they do not like me very much.
Hey, at least you can say he's not a complete racist. He has at least one black enemy.
I won't go into the very contorted comparisons he uses to twist the flow to the conclusion that media is white-biased and that whites are now genetically racist.
I'll just say this. He claims that media is white-biased because of its use of "riot" for blacks and "shootout" for whites (well, mostly white - there were some very Spanish sounding names in the list of dead at the Waco Breastaurant). If that were true we would not see media bend over backwards to describe black protestors (I'll refrain from bias and not use rioters) as "youths" and other racially-nondescript terms. Nor would you see the UK Media's use of "Asians" for out and out Muslims.
In summation, stay away from gatherings of outlaw biker gangs and American Negroes....
The author is comparing apples and oranges. The Waco incident (as an example of whiteness) seems to me analogous to crip and blood drive by shootings (as an example of blackness). That is, they are both bad guy on bad guy violence.
For the author to draw a correct analogy between Waco and the recent riots, there would have had to have been an unjustified shooting BY BLACK POLICE in Waco of the bikers and then a bunch of white people would have had to riot because the bikers were white and the police were black. It would tighten the analogy were the white rioters egged on by a white supremacist attorney general and mayor—say David Duke were the mayor in Waco and David Lynch were the US attorney general.
Of course, no riots occurred in Waco by white people—only bad guy on bad guy violence met by a very fast and severe response by the police, followed by no riots.
White on black murder?
Well ummmm that whole black guy being the driver screws up that theory a bit.
TL,DR Nine white criminals killed by police, white community grateful and didn’t riot.
If 8 of the 9 killed were members of one gang that would indicate to me that only one gang was shooting at the police
Alright already. I am a racist misogynist and don’t like kittens. Can I go to bed now?.
Actually, some of the bikers were black - I saw a photo of one of the wounded, in his biker vest, and he was most certainly black. In short, this shootout had nothing to do with whiteness or any other racial or ethnic connection. It was gangs doing what gangs do.
And what they do is shoot at and otherwise attack each other, not burn down the CVS, assault emergency personnel, and win the support and admiration of the press and the Democrats for doing so.
ANother thing our loony academic seems to have missed is that these biker thugs are not considered by the non-Hispanic whites, Hispanics or any of the other groups possibly involved to represent those groups, and are not even considered representative of bikers or biker clubs. Nobody, white or otherwise, biker or not, is rushing forward to claim that they were heroes and that this behavior was justified.
Contrast that with the swooning response of the left to the brutal violence of the leftist-inspired black criminals in Baltimore.
I read that as a generality, not specific to Freddie (it is from the article). The attempt is to blame the white police for killing, I bet the other three walk.
Good point.
The bikers thugs were not heralded as victims (thought of such a thing seems totally bizarre).
I agree. Actual facts that don’t fit Chauncey’s central theme aren’t really highlighted. Instead he prefers to use the sweeping generalizations of which he accuses white devils and white-biased media.
Bottom line is this. Here’s a self promoting writer with a web page, a radio show, and a repertoire of articles on Slate, Salon, etc. To get the latest published credit his continual white devil theme screed has to have some tenuous connection to very recent events. He chose the two most publicized from the last 30 days. Not hard to figure.
White America’s Waco insanity: The shocking realities it ignores about racism & violence
The facts are there...how do you get racially blinded people like DeVega to acknowledge reality and go forward from there? I don't think you can. Yet people like DeVega have to be challenged and not allowed to keep spreading their lies. Hopefully, some day we'll have a real honest discussion about black crime. And all the race hustlers will have to face the reality of it without blaming whites.
