Deep South justice in Ferguson
The Washington Post ^ | November 28, 2014 | Colbert I. King

Posted on 11/29/2014 3:20:42 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

My 102-year-old mother-in-law, Henryne Walker Stewart Goode, whom we buried a week ago at the Walker family cemetery in Okolona, Miss., often told an unforgettable story at our kitchen table.

She attended Okolona College, where she was taught English and public speaking by James Raspberry, the father of my late Post colleague, William Raspberry. At one time, in my mother-in-law’s telling, animals on the school’s farm were falling victim to some invading marauder. A school employee discovered the culprit — a dog — and shot it. But the white farmer who owned the dog retaliated, turning up at the school to shoot the employee to death and threaten the school’s president. The school’s president was forced to flee, my mother-in-law said, but nothing happened to the white farmer. That said all we needed to know about Deep South justice of her youth.

An account in the July 4, 1931, edition of the Afro American flushed out the details of this tale, and over 90 years it deviated remarkably little from the facts. The dog that was shot by school employee Ulysses Baskin was part of a pack that attacked the school’s sheep. On May 30, 1925, Baskin was in fact shot by the dog’s owner eight times. School president Wallace A. Battle demanded the arrest of the culprit, but the local grand jury freed him. Battle didn’t flee, though; he resigned in protest when the school’s white trustees would not demand justice for the murder....

My great grandmother told me about a case way back in 19 and 96. Seems this blackman almost cut off the heads of two whites.. and a jury of predominatealy blacks refused to convict him to the cheers of large numbers of Black Americans nationwide. OJ jury

Something from more current. The Obama-Holder demagogues, the race-grievance industry, and many employees of the MSM have made crime a racial issue.

If we had more exposure to truth we'd see the problem lies not in the pristine having fear of death at the hands of white policemen (or whites in general).. we'd acknowledge the facts and get it solved. It is not all racial.

I did not find data for the years 1996 through 2003

It is long past the time when facts should be made public to expose the lies and misrepresentations of the Obama-Holder demagogues and the race-grievance industry.The Obama-Holder demagogues, the race-grievance industry, and most employees of the MSM have made this a racial issue. So let's see..

So adding up the blacks killed by whites (Col 1) and whites killed by blacks(col 2). Surprise.

Whites outnumber blacks by at least six-to-one.

As the screams of RACIST! augment let me add this

A fact about crime:

"Although there is a large disparity between the crime rates of whites and those of African-Americans, any perception that this is based solely on racism quickly evaporates when family structure is considered in the data. When researchers control for marriage, the rates of crime for whites and blacks in each family group are very similar."

But hey dealing with facts would put the Obama-Holder demagogues and the race-grievance industry out of business.

Or how blacks can beat whites to death while yelling racial obscenities but no civil rights charge are ever pressed against the blacks. Or how blacks can play their “Knock Out Game” while yelling racial slurs but never get arrested for it.

“The term “Deep South” sounds xenophobic.
I’m living on a more southern latitudinal line on I-10 than much of the nation, let alone the ‘South’, yet I don’t hear my community in Texas called “Deep South”.”

Absolutely. That and the real Depp South is really the mid South in actual geographic location, but we never expect Yankee liberals to know geography or much of anything else.

You shoot to kill not to maim and you don’t stop shooting until they stop moving ... pretty simple. If you do anything less, you needlessly risk your life.

That might be 3 or 4 shots with a .45 or 12 with a 9mm.

Then again, you try and take a cops gun he’s going to pretty amped up when he recovers.

I would like to tie people like King down in a chair and show him pictures of the many thousands of white people slaughtered by black criminals in the last seventy or eighty years. The total approaches around thirty or forty thousand. Then we’ll also show him the pictures of white women raped and beaten by black criminals. That number is in the thousands annually. The number of black women sexually assaulted annually by white criminals is a statistical zero. Scoundrels like King need to be exposed for what they are.

This guy is right. In the old deep South, Democrats stirred up racial hate to stay in power and today, Democrats are doing the same thing.

Hey, it’s not like black people would lie. Someone checked out Malcolm X’s autobio one time and found numerous uh inconsistencies. Sure, there were innocent black people lynched and murdered in those days by whites. But there were also innocent white people killed by blacks in those days. But the latter story is never told by the very liberal media.

Breaks my heart. My mother, when she was 65 and very, very, ill with diabetes, heart disease and kidney disease, was car jacked by a BLACK crack head who beat her 6 times, that she can remember, over 3 days. After wiping out her bank account at ATMs. Every bone in her face was broken as well as her left arm and right wrist! After 3 days her carjacker left her in the car...out of gas to go find more crack. The police NEVER even looked for the guy. They told my father that these crimes were rampant in Central Florida and they'd never find they guy and if they did they'd release him in a couple of days because FL prisons were full and they were already under court order to release convicts to ease crowding.

I couldn't give two shits about any of the extremely rare victims of white on black crime. Not even one!!!

Y’all can say what you want FReepers, but cops cannot simply mow people down post Ferguson. Police, if you are going to confront someone bigger than you, be prepared. Outlaws are outlaws and don’t respect authority, but I think you know that.

Roger that. Countless rapes of white women. Like you say (FBI stats) tens of thousands a year. Zero white on black rapes. Black on white crime is epidemic and growing. The hatred blacks have for us is breath-taking, and completely undeserved. No race has benefited more from white love and generosity. It is heart breaking to see things get progressively worse.

Awesome!
Your hazy memories and “White Cops Kill Blacks?” That counts as a “publication,” and therefore,
you’re on tenure track!
Suggestion: Could you somehow wrap the Palestinian thing in there?
I’m from a family of cops and so we’re, like, the “little people,” who try to keep your women safe and silly racist stuff like that.
Seriously. WRITE!
Heck, Obama’s giving out Presidential Medals of Freedom for that stuff! Seriously! Meryl Streep just got one, along with, like 10 “bundlers!”
Seriously. Go for the Jews. It’s the next big thing, Professor Colbert I. King!
You are a HERO.

By the way, the comments are entertaining inasmuch as they prove quite conclusively that readers of THE WASHINGTON POST on the “right” and the “left” are, or become, dim-witted.

exactly....as if times haven’t changed at all

And truth be told the farmer would have shot him if his was purple or green or even white because you just don’t kill someone’s dog.....

Lock & load, folks. The honest cops are telling us we’re on our own until they arrive at the scene.

The trend thankfully is toward an armed citizenry with the law mostly on our side.
