This illustrates the MSM BIAS on Race that has formed so many opinions, after all you never hear of a black person committing a Hate Crime:

An eight-year-old boy named Kevin Shifflett was attacked by a black racist in Alexandria, Virginia, a suburb of the nation’s capital. The racist attacker was a 29-year-old parole violator, who had been previously incarcerated for a hammer attack on an unarmed white male, whom he did not know, and whom he referred to only as “whitey.” This time, the attacker used a knife to slash the throat of eight-year-old Kevin. According to an eyewitness, the attacker shouted a racial epithet at the third-grader as he went in for the kill. Later, police found a note in the suspect’s hotel room: “Kill them raceess [sic] white kidd’s [sic…”

For three months, the Virginia authorities concealed the racial identity of the suspect, as well as the fact that it might have been a racial attack. Eventually, The Washington Post did run a couple of stories describing how police had withheld the facts and how they had found the note in the suspect’s apartment. But the rest of the media ignored the case. Could it possibly be that the authorities (and the press) were silent for three months because the killer was black and his eight-year-old victim was white? That is indeed the kind of racial profiling that Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, the NAACP, the ACLU and other members of their vanguard have imposed on our moral discourse.

If Kevin had been black and his attacker white, consider the national media coverage that would have attended this case. Moral edicts and blanket charges would have been hurled from the Capitol rotunda at an anguished national audience; a presidential press conference would have devoted itself to extravagant mea culpas denouncing the outrage. As it is, there is not one person in a thousand reading this column who even knew until now that this event took place.

Today should be an interesting day there between the panthers and the illegals LEO's will have their hands full. Maybe some libs from Chapel Hill can join in the festivities. I'm just glad I left Raleigh when I did.

Poor NCCU. Will they do an expose on St. Augustine, Shaw, or Winston Salem State next?

Don't forget North Carolina A&T and Fayetteville State!

It's typical that they would play the race and class cards. Typical and pathetic.

The Race Pimps are marching today (the New Black Panthers) and they will make it seem like the White Devils are the cause of all the black communities problems. They will act like the crime problem is Durham is related to Whites, how sad?

The leader (Shabazz) make statements on TV like it's an accepted fact that Rape is a White Phenomena and all whites are inherently evil.

This is a quote from Shabazz:
"The perfect world, of course, is a Black nation. The perfect world for us would be the Honorable Louis Farrakhan as our president and a Congress with our best politicians, scholars, researchers, thinkers and activists working under a divine (black) chain of command."

So, while they will paint White people as evil-doers that can't be trusted today.. I think this is much closer to the truth:


What do you call a bunch of white people chasing a black man?

Which is nonsense, of course.

But keep in mind that the so-called victim's father spoke against the NBPP getting involved with this (per FNC).

Speaking of "Race Pimps," methinks thou doth protest too much.

What ever happened a few months back when crosses were burned in Durham? Did they ever find out who did that? That was another story that just didn't pass the smell test.

You are entitled to your opinion. I watched Fox's In the Lineup, with Kimberly Guilfoyle late last night, and I couldn't believe the a man that has repeatedly called white people devils and that all black people are righteous and divine by nature - is allowed to give his opinions on National TV without being challenged on his racist comments.

I think it's an outrage that Media treats him with respect and allows him to convey his views and gives him a platfore. Because, I know how they would go apesh*t on a White Supremacist Leader that came to a white town and said his group was going to go looking for the black men responsible for gang-raping a white woman (before any trial).

So many people, you may be included, are numb to the constant double standard in the media.

This guy (Shabazz) has written and said some really outrageous things, yet the Media acts like he has a legitimate purpose here.

This is what the Shabazz believes and has said:

"the white man is the devil," and "Jihad." Shabazz also said, "Kill every goddamn Zionist in Israel! Goddamn little babies, goddamn old ladies! Blow up Zionist supermarkets!"

"The Caucasians and the Government are arrogant, telling us how to suffer. America should be glad that every black man is not on a killing spree for all the suffering they have done."

"If 3,000 people perished in the World Trade Center attacks and the Jewish population is 10 percent, you show me records of 300 Jewish people dying in the World Trade Center…We’re daring anyone to dispute its truth. They got their people out.""

"We want to bring on the former national spokesman for the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan… We want to bring on a man who gives the white man nightmares. We want to bring on a man who makes the Jews pee in their pants at night… My big brother, Dr. Khallid Muhammad!"

http://www.adl.org/Anti_semitism/shabazz.asp

I guess I shouldn't protest him leading a march, promoting hate, and (according to Shabazz) meeting with the DA.

You're right. It was a HUGE deal and they had people come from all around, a Federal investigation (I believe) and after
all the Hustlers came and collected money - they never found anything. No one arrested. No leads.

"Duke is a bunch of out-of-state, out-of-touch, very smart faculty and student fast-trackers"....this will get you flamed to some degree...but IMHO, much of what goes on in the Ivy-League -type halls of American academe has resulted in a defacto "ghetto" among the liberal educated elite in America...who generally look down upon the "real" Americans amongst us...

In Ref to the Cross Burnings.
At first it was reported it may have been a prank and
then it evovled into a Federal case and the FBI got involved:
http://www.commondreams.org/headlines05/0528-05.htm

Over $30,000 was offered for information on those responsible
http://www.ci.durham.nc.us/news/NewsDisplay.cfm?vNewsID=870

Protests were commonplace and one group even thought the Cross Burnings were targeted at Gays (Anti-gay crossburning):

My next door neighbor is a Professor at NC state University.

What you describe applies across the spectrum. It's not limited to the Ivy league type schools.

Many in the halls of academia look down on Blue collar types,
people that cut their own lawn, they look at conservatives as unenlightened, Gun owners as barbaric, etc, etc.

Gee...all this free PR from the NYT for having a 27 year old stripper with a criminal history enrolled at this college.

Aside from that, what about how many kids you have? Still live in the same house as everyone else, even if you have eight kids and they have two? So, "to be fair," the house size is based on family size? So people start having more kids to have bigger houses? Sound familiar?

Liberals are idiots.

"North Carolina Central, a rambling red-brick, historically black institution, is across the tracks, across the highway, across an immeasurable cultural divide."


Well, maybe if they quit clutching on their precious "historically black institution" self image and became a plain ol' university seeking students without consideration of race there wouldn't be such a divide.

This is all silliness. Was the girl raped or not by any of the accused? Nothing to do with either school, society as a whole, or what color she was. If a crime was committed prosecute those who did it; if not, charge the girl with making false allegations. To make this anything more than a frat party with a stripper making a claim of rape, is a waste of time.

NCCU is a tribute to the racism that exists in the Black community. It should be gone but is kept as a racist training camp.

Harvard and Yale better watch out. NCCU might start poaching terrorists from the desired student body population.
