When I'm in Trouble...I See Black People!

That's what it seems like.  When white people do things wrong and get into trouble, their way out is to see black people.  So here we go again, “the black person did it.”  That’s what ole’ Bethany Storro cried when police and hospital personnel in Vancouver, Washington asked her how her face got burned with acid.  She reported that a black woman, wearing a green top and khakis just walked up to her and threw acid in her face outside a Vancouver Starbucks. She told everyone how she couldn’t understand how this could happen to her because she was a “nice girl”.  She thanked God because she had just bought a new pair of sunglasses moments before and if she hadn’t she might have lost her sight.  It was a miracle!

Wait a minute!  What did you say? She what?  Lied!?  No black girl?  Self-Inflicted?  Damn!  She admitted it before she got on Oprah?  http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/39221785/ns/us_news-crime_and_courts

How many times have we heard this story?  It was a black man, several black men, a black woman, a gang of black people.  Remember Susan Smith who accused a black man when she drowned her children in South Carolina.  Remember Bonnie Sweeten who blamed a black man for abducting her and her 9-yr old daughter in Philadelphia only to be found at Walt Disney World hotel. Remember Charles Stuart from Boston who accused a black man of killing his wife and remember the John McCain volunteer who accused a black man of carving a “B” in her face during the presidential elections.  Their stories were called “hoaxes”.  Let’s not forget the Black police officer in New York who was shot and killed by a White police officer after the white office saw him running down the street with a gun.  The Black officer was chasing a suspect with his weapon drawn.  I didn’t hear anyone calling that a “hoax” but it’s the same thing as Susan Smith, Bonnie Sweeten, Charles Stuart and now Bethany Storro…a mentality!

They all started with a mentality, a stereotype, a belief that turned into a lie, a crime, and a hate crime.  It's not a hoax! People who call it a "hoax" are the saem ones who say, "Aw, he was just joking" when that co-worker makes the off-color comment at work. That same mentality existed in the people who "just believed" without question because they said a black person did it.  They could identify with the mentality.  So what’s worse than the lie itself?  It’s the existence of the same mentality today that led to lynching when it was the “in thing”.  We can wrap it up in politically correct language.  We can try to legislate it away.  Personally, I would just rather you call me the “N-word” (political correctness).  Then at least I know where you are coming from and where your mentality is at.  Don’t smile in my face and then blame me for killing your daughter behind my back.

IT SEEMS THAT SOMEONE AS INTELLIGENT AS YOU LEAD ON TO BE WOULD BE MORE CAUTIOUS OF WHAT HE WRITES. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND IGNORENCE OF ANY FORM AND IF YOU THINK BLACK PEOPLE WAS THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT HAS BEEN DONE WRONG THEN YOU TRUELY NEED A HISTORY LESSON.MY PEOPLE WALKED THE TRAIL OF TEARS WAY BEFORE ANY BLACK PERSON WAS EVER ENSLAVED. I AM 36 YEARS OLD AND I ATTENDED MECKLENBURG COUNTY SCHOOLS AND I NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH ANYONE. SO I DO NOT THINK TODAY IN 2010 ANYTHING IS BASED ON SOMEONE'S SKIN COLOR. I THINK YOU HAVE DEEP ISSUE'S . I MEAN YOU DID SAY YOURSELF YOU CAME FROM A DISFUNCTIONAL FAMILY,RIGHT?? MAYBE YOU SHOULD SEEK SOME THERAPY FOR THESE ISSUE'S AND LEAVE INNOCENT PEOPLE ALONE AND THAT INCLUDES CONVICTS,WHITES,PARENT'S AND CHILDREN.. SINCERELY ?????
