Title: Violent Crime Post by: Howey on September 21, 2012, 01:17:04 pm Have you noticed lately that the racists on the right have began posting on forums, etc., stories from around the country, particularly in highly populated areas like Chicago (home of the President) and New York, highlighting crimes by blacks.
It's become more prevalent since Trayvon Marton was brutally murdered. Why is that?

Title: Re: Violent Crime Post by: head of joaquin on September 24, 2012, 07:30:55 pm I have noticed the racist "black on white crime" meme all over the internet. It's interesting that it's become so prevalent and almost acceptable, since it's the worst kind of race baiting. It tells you the status of Tea Party Occupied America that it's considered good politics to print rancid stories about how black criminals are running amok. Maybe Lee Atwater's ghost has possessed the rightwing blogosphere. |
