Updated for the era of 0bama:

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and will bash in the heads of the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood. and get no approbation from the President or their community.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice EBT cards and bastard babies.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but and not by the content of their character.

I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification -- one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers. and beat them to a pulp on school buses.

I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day every valley politician shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low exactly the same height by law, the rough places will be made plain like Detroit, and the crooked places will be made straight like Chicago, and the glory of the Lord The One shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together.

Sons Of Barack's!

Translation... he was a bad victim. Had he just taken his beating like a good honkey geezer, eveything would have been okay.

He did not die "because he tried to defend himself." He died because two feral thugs decided to attack him.

Reality has no place in the so-called "news" media.

White people defending themselves against blacks is RACIST, don’t cha know! We’re supposed to just let them kill us so as not to make us look bad.

So if he had just allowed himself to be beaten to death, they would not have killed him. Oh, wait...

Perhaps if this 13 month old baby hadn't fought back against De’Marquise Elkins, he'd be alive today?

This remark shows that this chief is against the Stand Your Ground law. One cannot defend themselves. It just makes the situation worse.

I always thought that Eastern Washington was the sane part of the state. Guess not.

I have posted on here before that I have instructed my boy to ALWAYS defend himself. He is taking karate and takes the responsibility seriously.

““Our information is that the individual fought back and that may have made this, you know, a worse situation,” Spokane police Chief Frank Straub said.”

WOW, has he submitted his resignation net for spewing something so stupid?

Someone in the community needs to “fight back” against this idiot of a police chief and remove him. It is too bad that the elderly vet didn’t have a shotgun to shoot the degenerate perps.

He said more, too, apparently. Saying how sad it was no one loved the thug, now his life is ruined etc


Of course. Now the process begins of portraying the thugs as the REAL victims.
