Noose around Palin manikin is not a hate crime

Do you know what a hate crime is? A hate  occur when a perpetrator targets a victim because of his or her membership in a certain social group, usually defined by racial group, religion, sexual orientation, disability, ethnicity, nationality, age, gender, gender identity, or political affiliation.^[1]  The reason that I choose to write this article is because they considered a noose around a Palin manikin as a hate crime…I think that the only crime that the young jerks that hung that manikin up is ‘ignorance’!  Now on the other hand I can understand why the noose around a black manikin head indicating that it’s Obama would be considered a hate crime. How quickly conservative’s memory has lapsed… How did they forget about all the lynching committed in the southern states against black people? Are you all that insensitive, did you really forget? Did you know that thousands of black men, women and children have been lynched? Did you know that the racial hatred that was thrust upon the black men and women of the world was done to them simply because some white guys got a royal hair up his ass and wanted to go out and make a point? It disturbs me that a white manikin hanging in the air is considered to be a hate crime. If you reviewed history I don’t think you could find a single case of white men getting drunk then going out and stringing up a white woman for kicks! Some how I just can not imagine that happening. But if we were to look back in time I do believe history could repeat itself with someone attempting a hate crime on Obama… Hint, hint the black manikin hanging in the air! Let’s be realistic, if you had a sure hand which one would you bet your last dollar on? Hatred on Palin or Obama?

Did you know they police killed another black man?

Did you know that the police killed another black man? Did you know that he had a stick in his hand and thats why he received two bullets in his chest? There are many whites that are totally infuriated that blacks make claims of injustice. Whites think how can blacks have the nerve to say they(whites) are bias against black people... They are proud to tell everyone that blacks should not play the race card? Did you know when these crimes happen to an innocent black man, it was an accident... Why not once be infuriated that this crime of murder happened an understand that it happens too often? Did you know that if you were to count the number of black accidents that happen with police killing blacks, it is not really an oddity? Did you know that if you had a shooting accident one every ten years that would be too many! So now lets look at it from the prospective, what if you had over 10 shootings a year? The key is not that it happens but letting them get off with a slap on the wrist. Now, is that really a good example to set?
