"Right Wing Obama Vilification Is Paradigmatic Of Conservative Racism Across America"
http://paxonbothhouses.blogspot.com/2014/09/right-wing-obama-vilification-is.html***
Dear John,
Thanks for sending the purported black man's "nigger" rant. http://67.227.255.239/forum/showthread.php?t=887222
It does no good -- in fact, it does harm -- to suggest the propriety, under any condition, of calling black people "niggers."
My father spoke of a chauffeured Protestant woman who used to visit "Mohican Market" where Dad worked as a teen. Immediately she entered the store, she engaged the owner in foul rants about "damned papists!"
Across every ideological boundary, the self-righteous share one conviction, that they -- and only they -- are absolutely right; so right that they are entitled to slaughter and are made giddy by the eternal torment of the dead.
Mercy, compassion, love and forgiveness are forever trumped by vengeance, vindictiveness, retaliation and retribution.

Lest we forget...
Just a few centuries ago, Protestants and Catholics were ripping out one another's throats in The Thirty Years War -- and, as recently as 1826, The Inquisition executed a Spanish school teacher.

Here's how self-righteous vilification of "others" leads first to the annihilation of "infidels," and then, to spiritual self-destruction.
"I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump off. So I ran over and said "Stop! Don't do it!" "Why shouldn't I?" he said. "Well, there's so much to live for!" "Like what?" "Well... are you religious?" He said yes. I said, "Me too! Are you Christian or Buddhist?" "Christian." "Me too! Are you Catholic or Protestant ? "Protestant." "Me too! Are you Episcopalian or Baptist?" "Baptist" "Wow! Me too! Are you Baptist Church of God or Baptist Church of the Lord?" "Baptist Church of God!" "Me too! Are you original Baptist Church of God, or are you reformed Baptist Church of God?" "Reformed Baptist Church of God!" "Me too! Are you Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1879, or Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1915?" He said, "Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1915!" I said, "Die, heretic scum", and pushed him off."

Do you really want lily white America confusing Italian-Americans with mafiosi wops, the same "mafiosi wops" whom Pope Francis "took to the mat" just weeks ago - and not for the first time. http://www.kansascity.com/living/religion/article801359.html
Once we normalize any reference to niggers (or dago/wops), every American bigot will assume such "normalization" authorizes her to call every black person a "nigger" - and every Italian a mafioso wop.
Why? Because most people -- particularly the evangelical dimwits among us -- define themselves as "normal" and thus fully able to make "true distinctions."
Consider the case of this middle class white woman...

In the end, it does not matter to me if a black man actually wrote your forwarded "deathbed rant," although - truth be told - the document has every hallmark of honky skullduggery, particularly its "untraceable anonymity."
I also have a "nose," and your "death bed missive" smells more like a white ideologue's wet dream than a black man "setting the record straight."
But whether the screed's author is black or white, you can trust legions of American conservatives to shit in the mouth of God-Truth whenever opportunity presents.

Angry white people bleed at the eyes to beat the pulp out of "niggers" and "ragheads" - as if the holocaustal carnage Uncle Sam rained down on Vietnam and Iraq weren't enough.

(Yes, it fact checks.)
Blood lust is never satisfied.
Like the rest of the world's "un-dead," angry white Americans' hunger for carnage is insatiable.
Invade Iraq again!
Invade Syria!
Send troops to Ukraine!
And once we've had our belligerent orgasm, then what?
Another Syria?
Another Iraq?
Another Gaza?
Another Libya?
Another Afghanistan?
Each of them worse than their predecessor?
Each of them worse than their predecessor?
When General Petraeus took the reins in Iraq, he asked but one question: "How does this end?"
Most Americans -- certainly most white Americans -- are not only content, but eager, to initiate belligerence not once asking: "How does this end?"
The routine assumption of most Americans -- against all evidence -- is that if we just ejaculate enough firepower, we WIN!
The bewildering backdrop to all this is that Saved! "Christians" have a hard-on for nuclear holocaust as the only way to trigger The Great Armegeddon Duke-Out when, blessedly, The Bible Belt experiences collective Rapture.
As for the moribund "black" man's irate insistence that people stop "covering up" Michael Brown's "shoplifting" and start calling it "ROBBERY"... It has never occurred to me to refrain from calling it "robbery" although "all caps" seems a bit excessive.
Personally I think the term "shoplifting" is more accurate, I have nothing against the word "ROBBERY."
That said, the real purpose of spotlighting Michael Brown's "ROBBERY" is to distract us from the entirely different set of circumstances on the street where Michael was killed by a cop who put six bullets in his unarmed teenage body; the second last bullet into his head, and only then the lethal sixth bullet.
"I Understand The First Bullet. And The Second Bullet. And The Third Bullet. And The Fourth Bullet. And The Fifth Bullet..."
Concerning the supposed "black" veteran's eagerness to have the Army National Guard "ventilate your black asses with M-16s with military precision," I see the unhinged rambling of a murderous thug.
When the presumed "black author" of "Ventilate Your Black Asses With M-16s" informs his "fellow blacks" that "you are not discriminated against," tell me this John: "Would you feel discriminated against if someone suggested "ventilating your dago-wop ass with an M-16.""
And how would you feel when legions of angry white guys then clamor to kill "your dago-wop ass" and the rest of conservative America applauds their rhetoric?
If you still don't think racism thrives in The United States of Barbaria, check out Colin Powell's Chief of Staff.

Notably, the same "dying black man" who yearns to "ventilate black asses with M-16s" praises Colin Powell as an exemplary Afro-American.
Do you seriously think Powell's Caucasian Chief of Staff does not see what's going on?
Or that he's lying?

Alan: Most Americans have living relatives who were alive when these good Christians cooked this man.
Several years ago, I attended a talk by UNC-Chapel Hill Public Health Professor John Hatch who mentioned that all four grandparents were born into slavery. In one of his ancestral families the children were auctioned off in a single day. Knowing that the new owners would remove them to distant plantations - with no hope of family reunion - a bereaved daughter committed suicide within hours of her sale.
To think that this heritage - still burningly alive in human memory - can be transcended in a few generations is more Pharisaic than the good church-goers whom Yeshua railed against.

Dear John,
Thanks for sending Bill O'Reilly's rant against black people. It is the sort of self-righteous screed I have come to expect of many "good Catholics." An essentially narrow-minded person, O'Reilly epitomizes the epistemological truth that "Every text without a context is a pretext." http://www. cnsnews.com/video/national/ oreilly-americas-race-problem
There is no question that the decline of the black family has created a toxic swamp that breeds violent men.

Some statistics:
"One in every three black males born today can expect to go to prison at some point in his life, compared with one in every six Latino males, and one in every 17 white males..." http://www. huffingtonpost.com/2013/10/04/ racial-disparities-criminal- justice_n_4045144.html
"One in every three black males born today can expect to go to prison at some point in his life, compared with one in every six Latino males, and one in every 17 white males..." http://www.
That said, a large body of evidence demonstrates that black men are three to five times more likely to spend time in jail than white counterparts guilty of the same crime - assuming, of course, that unarmed black men are not first shot down on the streets.

(Taking police and vigilante shootings together, we find that an unarmed black man gets shot every 29 hours.)
It is also useful to keep in mind that "jail time" does not necessarily imply "real" criminality.
"Jail" is also "home" to repeat offenders like our peace-and-justice friend Patrick O'Neill, as well as young black males four times more likely than whites to be jailed for marijuana infractions although the percentage of users is the same for blacks and whites.
Plus, there are a host of other trivial "crimes" -- none of which whites can fathom -- like "walking (or driving) while black."

If O'Reilly ever contextualizes black criminality by comparing it to un-jailable white-collar criminals responsible for daily havoc in the lives of most Americans, I will listen to Bill's biased bitching about blacks who, no matter their qualifications, are much more likely to be excluded from "a place at the table" than any other ethnicity. (Note that the net worth of a typical American family declined 40% in the years after Bush Cheney's Financial Meltdown. To be clear, The Great Recession was caused by nefarious white guys who robbed thousands of dollars from you, me and everyone else we know. http://paxonbothhouses.blogspot.com/2013/03/between-2007-and-2010-family-net-worth.html)
If you - or I - were systematically excluded from a "place at the table" like black people are, we would be pissed off.
Seriously pissed off.
But we would not be as pissed off as every American "should be" at the inside job that collapsed their net worth while bloating the wealth of white guys so adept at manipulating The Boom/Bust Scam that these "structural" felons make gobs of money "running the economy up" and more gobs "running it down."
If you're a protected, un-jailable white person, you get rich whether you pimp/pump The System - or crash it.
You get richer still if you run The Boom-Bust Scam as a two-step sequence.

Whereas the white felons who run America are equal opportunity malfeasants, black criminals almost exclusively commit black-on-black crime.
Imagine the number of O'Reilly fans who would secretly gloat that "those damn niggers are getting what they deserve" if O'Reilly described black crime as a largely ghettoized problem with virtually no impact on middle class whites.
When O'Reilly pushes "The Murder Button" - and analyzes the statistics "by race" - the raw numbers are horrifying.
What O'Reilly does NOT say is that the U.S. murder rate has fallen by more than half since 1991 and that the rate among white murderers is five to ten times higher than it is for whites in most European countries - and 10 to 20 times higher than murder rates in Japan and other southeast Asian countries.

True to form, O'Reilly sings the praises of American white men, who -- when judged against the rest of the developed world -- comprise an exceptionally sleazy demographic.
Currently, a higher percentage of American whites are behind bars than any other prison population in any other country.
Ever!
The brightest light O'Reilly shines (albeit unwittingly) is on American white people who -- despite the extraordinary favoritism bestowed on them by accident of "white" birth -- are not only more violent than folk in most developed countries, but white American leaders -- from the Civil War, through the Spanish-American War and on into Vietnam and Iraq -- have killed and maimed far more people than the cumulative carnage perpetrated by "colored folk" from the start of the slave trade onward.
"Terrorism and The Other Religions"
by University of Michigan History Professor, Juan Cole
(Yes, it fact checks.)
O'Reilly's implicit praise for American white people -- despite their extraordinary penchant for mayhem -- is as bizarre as most reports of his misogynistic sex life.
Nor do American whites limit themselves to penny ante one-on-one crime: instead they specialize in structural crime, war crime, torture and mass murder.
New York Governor Mario Cuomo rightly observed that 'the United States is the most violent culture in the history of the world.'
Speaking of Cuomo...

The total number of annual murders in the "United" States is half the number of Americans killed in auto accidents each year. (And half the number of firearm suicides.)
What's more, the U.S. traffic fatality rate is twice that of Europe.
N.B. Every year, the United States could prevent as many traffic deaths as the total number of American murders by the simple expedient of duplicating European laws, regulations and norms as they relate to vehicular transportation.

Do you know why you've never heard about 15,000 preventable traffic fatalities but you get lathered over 7000 black-on-black killings?
It's because human beings delight in pointing fingers at any evil -- real or perceived -- that they themselves cannot "fix."
When it comes to black crime, there is nothing whites "can do about it" -- thanks be to God! --and so they exempt themselves from personal responsibility.
Like Pilate, American Caucasians first "wash their hands," then white-wash their conscience.
There is little inclination for "The Master Race" to be bothered by any issue that does not deliver high enough doses of self-righteous wrath to distinguish "the good guys" as "God's own allies," while representing "the other guy" as worthy of perpetual punishment followed by eternal damnation.

On the other hand, your taxes - and my taxes - paid for My Lai and Abu Ghraib... not to mention the larger military obscenities of which they were part.

We could have.
But we didn't.
The resulting blood -- 3,000,000 dead in Vietnam and a million dead in Iraq (and counting) -- is on our hands.
Make no mistake. Bush and Cheney launched The Whimsy War on sheer trumpery and brazen fabrication but they will "walk" as surely as Bo Brownstein in the photograph above.
Then there are millions of maimed Iraqis hidden from view by our focus on "body counts."

Money -- not minority crime -- is the proper focus of social and political reform.
Every consideration other than money contributes to the carefully-crafted smokescreen that obscures the machinations of The 1% (actually, The 5%) whose single-minded determination to maintain (and preferably exacerbate) income inequality makes it impossible for many blacks -- and whites -- to escape the crushing weight of economic oppression.
Bottom line?
The moneyed class finances plenty of propaganda (including O'Reilly's) to divert American outrage from The Fat Cats, putting it instead on "reprehensible" minorities whom The Ungodly Rich deprive of dignity-and-resource just as they have always deprived "the undeserving poor."

It is essential to keep in mind that "nothing is perfect" and that The Body Politic is seriously injured when citizens (most often conservative citizens) insist that "Impossibly Pure Principles" are Mandatory Norms that all "good people" must champion while anyone who does not preach "perfection" deserves to die, or at least agonize before premature death.
"The terrible thing about our time is precisely the ease with which theories can be put into practice. The more perfect, the more idealistic the theories, the more dreadful is their realization. We are at last beginning to rediscover what perhaps men knew better in very ancient times, in primitive times before utopias were thought of: that liberty is bound up with imperfection, and that limitations, imperfections, errors are not only unavoidable but also salutary. The best is not the ideal. Where what is theoretically best is imposed on everyone as the norm, then there is no longer any room even to be good. The best, imposed as a norm, becomes evil.”

Bill O'Reilly's sexual harassment lawsuit
Wikipedia
On October 13, 2004, O'Reilly sued Andrea Mackris, a former producer for The O'Reilly Factor, with extortion charges, alleging that she had threatened a lawsuit unless he paid her more than $60 million. Subsequently that day, Mackris sued O'Reilly for sexual harassment, seeking $60 million in damages. Her lawsuit alleged two types of legally-cognizable sexual harassment claims that are not based upon physical contact: quid pro quo and hostile work environment. In her lawsuit, she filed a 22-page complaint with the Supreme Court of the State of New York[92] and produced quotations from alleged explicit phone conversations between herself and O'Reilly in which he "advised her to use a vibrator and told her about sexual fantasies involving her."[93] On October 15, 2004, Fox sought judicial permission to fire Mackris, but she was never dismissed. On October 19, 2004, Mackris filed an amended complaint seeking further damages for illegal retaliatory actions by O'Reilly, Fox News, and the News Corporation-owned newspaper The New York Post.[94] On October 28, 2004, O'Reilly and Mackris reached an out-of-court settlement and dropped all charges against each other. According to several published reports, as part of the settlement O'Reilly likely paid Mackris millions of dollars, but the terms of the agreement are confidential.[95]

This is from a dying black man to the black people of America…he is so right! I hope it is not too long for youThe words of a dying man have always captured my attention, right or
Wrong, they are worth reading. I believe what this dying man has to say
Has a lot of truth. May not be what some will want to hear.
I wanted to clear up a few black and white questions and answers. The
things I state are facts. They are not downloaded from some media website,
not propaganda, just observations from a 70 year old black man, born in
America .
I was told by my parents (yes, a married man and woman with my last name),
that I was nigger. We lived in Nigger Town in a small Texas town,
No A/C, grass growing through the floor, no car, no TV. We washed our
bodies with lye soap that my mother made, by hand. I thought I was a
Nigger, until I graduated high school, went to college, did an enlistment in the
Army, and got a job. I am now retired, own my own home, have 6 children by
ONE
WOMAN, and we all have the same last name. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in
Liberal Arts, a Master’s Degree in Sociology. My retirement, VA
Disability from combat in the Korean War (I only have one leg), and
Part-time pay in a local college, is about $125,000 a year. From dirt poor nigger, to old,
black, proud American.
Yes, I am black, and I can say nigger, because I understand the true
Meaning of the word.
Let’s clear up a few things about the Michael Brown incident.
-Fact: It is not called "shoplifting or stealing", it's called "robbery",
Which is a felony. Brown stole something and assaulted someone, that
means ROBBERY. It’s on video, and it’s a fact. Not shoplifting, not
Theft not shop lifting a few cigars, but ROBBERY!
-Michael Brown, like Trayvon, was portrayed by the media as a little
Black boy, cute little headphones, and his cap and gown photo, gunned
Down by
A ruthless police assassin, executed by whitey. First, I have never
Seen a cop drag a person into their cars driver door to arrest them. So,
let us be clear, Michael Brown was a nigger; a sorry assed, criminal,
hoodlum, nigger. Nobody wants to say that, but I will. He had a criminal
Record a mile long, was known for numerous assaults, robberies, including the one
You saw with your own eyes, and still refuse to call it a robbery.He was, like so many others, living a life that he thought he was entitled
To, just for being alive. Gangsta rap, weed, drinking, guns, and those
stupid-assed low profile rims, makes him some kind of bad-ass nigger.
-I have fought communist Chinese and North Korean soldiers in the 1950 s
With more honor than that nigger. Yep, I peeled potatoes and shot
communists. That’s the only job a nigger soldier could get.
-Rodney King? Black Riots!
-Trayvon? Black Riots!
-Hurricane Katrina? Black Riots! Stealing TVs, designer clothes, etc.
-O.J. Simpson kills white man and white woman, found NOT GUILTY? Did
white folks riot? Nope!
-In fact, when is the last time white people rioted? Civil War, maybe?
That’s because they are, relatively, civilized people, much like many black
Americans. Protesting is one thing, hell, I’m all for it. Even if you
are an ignorant idiot, you have a right to protest.
-Stop only showing the young black "cap and gown" photos of Michael.
Charles Manson may have a few of those laying around, as well. Show the
nigger
"gangsta" photos of the "poor unarmed teenager" (grown man) pics that have
been removed from his Facebook page, holding the loaded pistol, smoking
weed, with a mouthful of money.
-Militarization? The stupid-assed media that publicizes this has no idea
What militarization really is? Cops wear helmets and vests, and drive
armored vehicle because unemployed niggers thrown bricks at them, moron!
You put on an "Adam 12" uniform and walk down the streets of Ferguson
during
the criminal riots. I can guarantee that you'll jump into the first
armored "military tank" that you see.
-You only "want the police" when you "need the police", otherwise, you
mock and fear what you do not understand about the police. And by the way,
The police are trained to take your shit, but I wouldn’t mess around with
Those Army National Guard, they aren’t as well disciplined culturally to
Take your shit like police do every day. They will ventilate your black
asses with M-16s, with military precision and extreme prejudice.
-And finally, the way we protest and demand justice, is run down the
streets breaking shit, looting stores, and acting like a bunch of untrained
monkeys? Hell, after Rodney King, criminal niggers were actually killing
people, thinking they were entitled to be worse criminals than they already
were. For those black criminals that do that, you are a disgrace to your
race,
inflamed by idiots like Al Sharpton, instead of listening to logic from
proud black Americans, like Bill Cosby, Samuel Jackson, Colin Powell, Allen
West, me, etc.
-You blame white people for your ignorance, criminal acts, unemployed
laziness, etc.
-You blame white people for 89% of the prisons in America being full of
blacks. They did nothing wrong, the racists white cops framed them all,
right? No chance at school, no chance for college, military, employment?
BULL
SHIT!
-More niggers kill niggers, than niggers killing whites, whites killing
Niggers, and whites killing whites. COMBINED. I find this astounding.
-It's not white peoples' faults, the Emancipation Proclamation was signed
by a white man years ago. You can go to school, get a job, buy a house,
and vote, JUST LIKE WHITE FOLKS!!!! You are not a slave, you are not
discriminated against! Slavery is abolished, and nobody alive today, was
alive
when it was popular. Get over it! You are discriminated against because
you are a criminal, sorry-assed nigger. Otherwise, black Americans are
treated like everyone else.
-If you choose to create "baby daddy and baby mama", and fake disabilities
As an excuse for laziness to draw social security disability instead of
Husband, wife, family, job, mortgage, it’s YOUR FAULT, not white folks.
And there are a lot of proud black Americans that will tell you the same, as
I AM ONE OF THEM!!!
-Remember, the way you act on the camera, is remembered by everyone who
sees it. They will never forget it. It shows them how you, as the black
Race, responds to situation that don’t particularly go the way you think
They
Should. It will become a reference standard, something they expect from
You when the next media report doesn’t go your way. Stop being stupid
niggers, and be a proud black American. My parents raised me well, but
they were wrong about one thing, I am not a nigger.
I will not be around long. While my mind is still sharp, and my aim is
still good, my body is eating away with cancer. It started in the
prostate, and is spreading rapidly. After I die, I have asked my children to publish
my writings, and include my name. Although I am not expecting any
miracles, I can only hope that American will stop blaming color, start
blaming criminals, and see people for what they really are. We have too many
countries that want us dead. We should not be fighting each other.
