Time To Lose The Nooses

Is it just me, or has this whole noose thing gone much further than it should have? I am reading a blog on AOL and I happen across a report of some ignorant bastard stringing a noose around the neck of a statue of Tupac in Stone Mountain GA.

OK, let us look past the obvious symbolism of the action. What we actually have is some fool, in need of attention, trying to make a political statement. So, what does this jackass do? He symbolically hangs someone who has been dead for more than 11 years. Think about that for a minute. That would be the same as someone shooting a painting of Elvis. It serves no practical purpose other than the make the person who committed the crime look like the freaking retard he is.

Now that we have established the probable education level of the moron who committed that act of vandalism, let us shift our focus back to the issue of race relations in American in 2007.

It seems that America the beautiful has taken a major step backwards to America the ugly. People are failing to respect each other, and are instead settling for looking down on other races. These cowardly white supremacists are throwing this whole noose thing around like it is water, as well as other racially based assaults. Almost makes a person wonder if those retards are aware that there is nothing pure black, pure white, or pure anything in America anymore.

Oh but hold on, I am not only going after the white supremacists. There are also elements within the African American culture who are systematically, through their ignorance, bringing down the entire culture. That is right, the perceptions of others are often validated by the way we dress, the way we talk, the way we act towards each other, and so on. How can we move forward, if we choose to hold ourselves back? How can we demand others to respect us, if we do not have respect for ourselves?

Jesus is probably comforting Martin Luther King saying "It's OK Martin, you really did your best. They just don't get it."

I have one fundamental question; America, when are we going to wake up and get past this ignorant specter of racism? Can anybody answer that?

Yes, I realize my words are a bit inflammatory, but they needed to be said. I can not stand anyone who harbors a feeling of racism. You know, a few years ago, 10 I think, a little white boy in my neighborhood called my daughter a N-Word. Now I am going to be honest, the me from DC wanted to go and choke the living crap out of the boy's father, and I was just about to do it. Then the logical me set in, and I called for a police officer to go with me while I talked to the boy's father. The Boy and his father met us half way, and you know he was the most apologetic and respectful person he could be. They usually get that way when an armed police officer is looking at them. I told him what his son said, and he denied it, even looking at his son saying "I don't tell you to use that word, do I"? The boy nodded his head as if saying "Oh yes you do." Before the police officer could say anything, I cut him off and I told the boy's father that I have one time to wake up and find a cross burning in my yard, or a Nazi symbol anywhere near my property, and he will wake up and find his dog swinging from a tree. Needless to say, I had no problems after that point.

Racism only festers if we allow it to do so. Stop talking about the act and get in the face of the actor. The Federal Government is not going to do anything to stop the noose problem, so we should put our foot down, preferably on the head of the racist.
