Racism is alive and well, though not exactly in the way you might think. The Supreme Court just confirmed that a university in Texas could keep a white woman out of the school, even if she was the most qualified, because she was not a woman of color.
Democrats are insisting that the number of blacks in prison are there primarily due to racism, and laws must change to decrease the number. But over half the homicides in this country are committed by young black males, which comprise perhaps 3% of the overall population. Should we just let every other African American who is a murderer go because Democrats dislike the large number of young black males in prison?
And then there are the infamous “hate” crimes. These are crimes that are actionable, generally violent assaults of some sort, where the judge or jury rules more harshly against the attacker because he or she exhibits a racist orientation as part of the motivation for committing the crime. So, for example, in a case of two white teenagers who attack a black man, take his wallet, and punch him in the face, all the while shouting racial epithets about him, the crime is judged to be worse because of the words shouted. It would seem that animas is already part of the crime since the perpetrators choose to punch the victim, and so a negative attitude can be assumed.
But racism pops up here, and it is backwards. It assumes the victim is more damaged because of the racial epithets, and it also assumes that a white victim, punched by black perpetrators who yell racial epithets is less damaged, less harmed in the beating and robbing that he or she experiences, since there is almost never a label of “hate crime” attached to an assault by a person of color attacking a white victim, even with clearly racist speech involved.
That is preposterous, but the liberal law makers have inserted into the law the very racist legal charade that black racism is acceptable, while white racism is to be punished. We are no longer equal under the law.
And so there is the case in Calgary which highlights the truly upside down nature of hate crimes and how they are evaluated. Read the details on page 2:
B******t…they may have “gotten away with” centuries ago, but not now!
Totally insane, judge needs to be removed.
Ignorant bitch
Another Obama judge
I tried to sue the school system, but in no way was I successful. Stupid me then, I even contacted the ACLU in this state and the main headquarters back east. No reply! I gave up. This was in 1996. I was a young teacher, and this left me with a little (what they call) PTSD and even suicidal thoughts. They kind of broke my spirit for a time. This town is racist and I’ve come across it many times. I’m part “latino”, but don’t fit in with the crowd. Weird how latinos are proud of being hispanic when the Spaniards are white with light eyes and hair. It’s all so crazy! My dear Mother spoke Spanish before she learned English, and she taught me to speak some. Anyway, she does not approve of “La Rasa” and all of this racial c**p! She’s mad as hell at all this garbage. I was brought up to believe it was my morality, accomplishments, etc. that makes me who I am, not my ethnicity. I am Scottish, Spanish, Jewish, Apache, Italian, and Commanche, which I enjoy researching, but, damn, that doesn’t make me any better or worse than anyone else. Racists are jerks.
I guess you can’t fix stupid!
It’s written in black and white above? number 5 possibly? or number 8? Ot number 2?
Elizabeth Pedersen Hammond no, but perhaps you should
Impeach the judge.
Leconda! Thank you! You pretty much made a great call on the situation. I grew up next to a wonderful neighbors of African ancestry. The youngest boy and I were inseperable best friends for years! We were like family with these neighbors. Sweet, generous, faithful, law-abiding, church going people. When we moved away, after 23 years next door to them, the sadness and tears were hard to bare. Both my Dad and their grandpa kept loaded shotguns in case anyone caused trouble. Funny! If someone dared csuse serious trouble these guys would have blasted them from both sides of the street! Dang! It was a very quiet neighborhood with a variety of people. Philopino, Italian, African, German, etc. We looked after one another sharing our lives. The body is a shell, the soul has no color. I greive for our nation. We are in trouble. We should not be at each others’ throat! We have real enemies such as North Korea, Iran, and radical Islam. Be safe Lecondra, enjoy life and lets hope an all-out race war doesn’t erupt. “A house divided falls.”
