Don’t Ignore Race In Christopher Lane’s Murder
Time Ideas ^ | August 22, 2013 | John McWhorter

Posted on 08/22/2013 6:48:26 AM PDT by Biggirl

Australian Christopher Lane was killed on Monday in Oklahoma by three teens, one of whom has said they were just “bored.” The right is complaining that the media is making nothing of the fact that two of the teens were black whereas Lane was white, as opposed to the massive alarm sounded in cases such as white (or white-ish) George Zimmerman killing black Trayvon Martin.

We don’t yet know whether the attack on Lane was racially motivated...

Of course we don't KNOW. How can we KNOW what another is thinking?

But 'killing a cracker' was a known crip initiation rite for decades. And the perp's knew nothing about the victim except his appearance.

So maybe they hate runners/joggers? Or men in general?

Or maybe they recognize what stupid and pathetic losers they are, and they hate 'successful' people? But PROBABLY, JWW (Jogging While White) had something to do with the attack.

If this is the old west, that's kind of OK. But if so, we need to arm ourselves and stamp out the bad guys.

The only proof right now is in the Twitter tweets which can be recovered.

“take a lie, make it big enough, and repeat it often enough and people will believe it.”

it worked with Obama's eligibility. The evil people who know the truth and are behind him laugh their wicked laugh continuously with what they pulled off.

Not surprised that this was a gang ritual.

Whites are heavily propagandized by a media that knows what it is doing. They know their craft.

Sorry, but you are basing your conclusions on your own feelings. Why do you think there was such a wide divergence among the races on the guilt of OJ Simpson? Why did Obama receive only 39% of the white vote? Do you really believe whites have been brainwashed and will believe the propaganda rather than their own lyin' eyes?

Why did a recent Rasmussen poll find African-Americans are more likely to be viewed as racist than whites?

"Thirty-seven percent of poll respondents said "most black Americans" are racist, compared to just 15 percent who said most whites are racist and 18 percent who said most Hispanics are racist."

"Black respondents ranked their own demographic as more likely to be racist. Thirty-one percent of African-Americans said most blacks are racist, according to the polling organization, while only 24 percent of those respondents said most whites are racist."

Fact he received 39% of the white vote. Fact guess who is in control and in the process of consolidating that control. All one has to do is open ones eyes and ears and listen to the insults see the discrimination and the deadly assaults without effective response.

We have entered the era of tribal politics. Due primarily to immigration, non-Hispanic whites will be 50% of the population by 2042. Half of the children 18 and under will be minorities as classified by the USG by 2019—six years from now. Demography is destiny.

You forget where the crime was committed, in OK which is as a very, very deep red conservative state. Open and shut case.

I remember hearing the term "peckerwood" in a skit on Saturday Night Live where Chevy Chase was interviewing Richard Pryor for a job and using a "word association" test. Pryor says it after Chase says a derogatory word.

Then:

Chase: Spade
Pryor: Honky honky!
Chase: (N-word)...
Pryor: Dead honky!

Chase: OK I think we have all the information we need.
Pryor: Yo' mama!...Yo' GRAND-mama!

And what does peckerwood mean? From Urban Dictionary: >>A peckerwood is a rural white southerner, usually poor, undereducated or otherwise ignorant and bigoted, the term gained popularity in the deep south during the early twentieth century and was meant to be derogatory. It is a reversal of the name of the red bellied woodpecker which had a patch of red on the back of it’s head and neck, therefore a peckerwood is a redneck, terms that describe similar groups of people are trailer trash or white trash but neither of those have the same effect or ring to them as peckerwood does.

Sadly, you’re correct about the effect that egalitarian and guilt laden brainwashing has had on whites. I used to post on a on politically neutral forum and was well received. As soon as I began to talk about black-on-white crime I became one of the most hated people in the forum. What’s interesting is that the forum was pretty much all white. To the guilt ridden whites me calling attention to black mob attacks on whites was worse than blacks mob attacking whites. Merely calling for an end to physical attacks against whites caused these whites to lash out with venom. I’ll never understand how some people allow themselves to be so guilt ridden and self-loathing, but it’s a very real and very powerful phenomenon.

It is not so much as “guilt” but “fear”.
