Police investigating brick thrown into East Austin home
Austin American Statesman ^ | July 24, 2009 | Juanna Summers

Posted on 07/25/2009 10:01:30 AM PDT by LA Conservative

"Police are investigating a brick with an offensive message thrown into the window of an East Austin home.

The brick, thrown through a 4-year-old boy’s bedroom window, read “Keep Eastside Black. Keep Eastside Strong.”

The homeowner, Barbara Frische, who is white, said she has lived in the home for 10 years.

“It’s the first time anything like this has ever happened to me,” she said.

Police have not classified this incident as a hate crime, said Austin Police Sgt. Richard Stresing, because hate crimes target an individual specifically because of an identifying characteristic, like race. Police say the incident has been classified as criminal mischief and deadly conduct.

Incidents found to be based on race, sexual orientation, ethnicity, disability or gender are flagged as hate crimes, Stresing said, so they can be referred to the Department of Justice.

Exactly...big media would be all over this if the races were reversed...you’d have the Justice Department, the FBI, and state and local authorities tracking all clues.

But if you’re white...the world doesn’t work that way.

Ask the poor cop who arrested Gates.

“Are whites excluded from the hate crimes laws?”

Eric Holder says “yes”, honkies are excluded.

Yes, Honkies are all racist and as such don’t Qualify for proctection nor can they hide behind the Hate crimes laws, just like affirmative action laws.
I could comment on East Austin, but I would for sure be called a racist.

The brick still isn’t talking, upon advice by the ACLU who has taken on the case.

“Eric Holder says “yes”, honkies are excluded.”

I thought I remembered reading that the other day. Here is a link to what Holder said for those interested:

"Who writes these headlines?"

No kidding...I thought the same thing. 5" X 3" X 1 1/2" made of clay. Investigation complete.

Yeah? And why not? Can’t they read what’s on the brick??

Great quote:

“The calculus of political correctness is like roshambo, the “rock-paper-scissors” game. Different identity groups hold specific levels of power over others when their battles play out in the media. To wit: Black beats white. Gay beats white. Black beats gay.
Don’t ask why. It just is.”

It says on the brick "Keep Eastside black," and it was thrown through the home of the only white family.

Ahhh, but the brick wasn't stamped, nor addressed to anyone other than occupant; and had no return address, so that just makes it a pre-sorted, second class solicitation from a non-profit organization, soliciting participation in a new painting and paving project, utilizing blacktop and black paint, delivered by non-traditional means.

If this gets the desired response, the sponsoring organization may attempt to take it viral.

No surprise here. Hate crime laws were created for the express purpose of putting Whites in jail for anything they might do or think, or not do or not think, while letting non-Whites go free for any crime committed against Whites.

Change the colors and the headline is something like “police investigate racial incident” and the article keeps repeating “the homeowner, who is black...” and “keep the neighborhood White” two or three times until everyone gets the point.

This is not being prosecuted because the victim is white. Are whites excluded from the hate crimes laws?

Yes.

It is only politically-correct to consider something a "hate crime" if it is against a member of a "traditionally oppressed" group by a member of the "dominant culture".

Just as academia has defined "racism" as something only white folks can be guilty of.

So institutional racism against white people is ok. Gotcha...(eye roll).

These people are playing with fire and they know it. I have been seeing alot more of this black on white racism lately. It is bubbling up everywhere and the media gives it a complete pass....just like they gave the racist rants of Obama’s preacher for 20 years a pass. Let’s be clear here...it was blacks that voted for Obama 98-1...not whites. THAT is racism on parade.

I truly believe that Obama is stoking this fire. Eric Holder is stoking this fire and they are doing it on purpose. A race war would be just what Dr. Ayers ordered.

Pray for our country!

"I’m sure Obammie the Commie will say the white home-owner acted stupidly."

There does seem to be some evidence of that...
