Crime and punishment.

Memo to all of you young black bucks in America: Always watch out for the head shot.

In case you didn't notice the trend, protecting the value of our property is more important than your life. It's the price you pay for living in a very dangerous and "color aroused" time in our nation's history.

Of course, when a seven year old can be killed by a murderous malevolent thug while selling candy from her home, can we really blame the po po for being a bit unnerved?

It doesn't matter if it's Trayvon Martin or Trevion Davis; there should have been a wakeup call for you black folks with your children a long time ago. You can't be too careful with how you raise them. If the mean streets don't get them those who are charged with protecting them will.

Speaking of "color aroused", those folks in the right wing blogosphere sure know how to let their "racist freak flags fly".

Check out these comments about the CBC:

"Every one of them has been accused, investigated or convicted of a crime.

Looks like a zoo exibit that got loose. Oh, you said criminals, I thought it said animals, oopsy.
[…]
I hope they keep walking — right out of the country. A swift kick to their white-hating asses would be in order too.
[…]
Which part of BLACK caucus don’t you understand? That’s racist to the max,
[…]
When you listen to these folks speak, please take note of the difficulty they each have constructing a single coherent sentence - the best and the brightest, to be sure.
[…]
It’s not what you think people! There was a pole smokers for pedophiles fund raiser just down the street……….. These spunk chuggers just wanted to get good seats.
[…]
‘Affirmative Action’: n***g**s new proxy.
[…]
They stand there, with their racism on full display, and not a single one of them realizes that they, themselves, are the racists/bigots. The old, ingrained plantation mentality blinds them all.
[…]
I hope we have a good election turnout to get these spooks out of office and get people in their that willwork for the people!
[…]
Blakks holding public office are traitors to our country. This example shows that blakks scoff at their oath of office because it forces them to obey whitey’s laws. They are through obeying whitey’s laws because Obama disobeys whitey’s laws. Obama has set them free to outwardly disregard our form of government and fight for a single purpose, to rob whitey to feed their own. Dammmmn our country, get revenge on it. That is their oath of office.

To bad there wasn’t a drive by or a runaway bus while they were gathered all together.
[…]
The leaves on the tree of liberty are starting to look a little dry.
[…]
Why are these blakks assembled as a gang showing the world they hate whites? Aren’t they racist? I don’t care if they are racist, I want them out of our white country, as they are destroying it.
[…]
pot calling kettle black, good one.
[…]
I think it’s time to bring back the old derogatory names which were used against these race baiters as they have not progressed beyond race and probably never will.

That be Rayciss! And I agree." [Source]

Rest in peace Andrew Breitbart.

Finally, for an excellent article on why conservatives run such a tight ship and are so united in their hate of all that is different, please read here.

Joe Brewer does a nice job of breaking down the differences between progressives and [right] wingnuts when it comes to political organizing, and why it is so hard for those of us on the left to get our stuff together.

"Sound familiar? In American politics, we see the top-down authoritarian worldview of Conservatives enabling them to fall in line and take marching orders. They form strong loyalty bonds through religious affiliation, old money networks, and various social clubs that give them an immense capacity for social cohesion.

And what about Progressives? We are divided into issue silos, unable to form lasting coalitions that bond us together under the same ideological flag, and easily kept on the defensive through the age-old strategy of Divide and Conquer. We have difficulty trusting each other and our funders are unable or unwilling to invest in talent for talent’s sake...."

Yep.

And I hate to contribute to the splintering of the progressive movement. But I am begging you folks over at Netroots Nation not to ever ask me for suggestions again.

Until you are ready to address urban issues and to make a concentrated effort to reach out to people of color, I won't have s**t to say to you.
