You would say this. Strange, though, when you think about it. You'd just assume she'd be out starting arson fires rather than riding buses.
Can we move you to the back of the bus? |
No, but we can move you to the back of the class. Try sometime to distinguish between history and hype. |

For non-morons, here is a useful link to the reexamination of 29 civil-rights era racial killings, which ultimately led to 27 arrests and 21 convictions.

29???!!! Goooollleeeeee! About as many murders as in a single week in LA. My comments about the likelihood of Rosa Parks being killed stands.

Of course this is just a smattering of the violence that was directed against blacks in the south for decades, but most people have heard the word "lynching" and are familiar with the Ku Klux Klan.
|
Lynching, hardly ever used against black women, had all but faded away by 1955.

Anway, please note among the cases re-examined is the firebombing of a black Baptist church that killed four black schoolchildren. I suppose this example of white arson is OK, though, as it didn't happen on Halloween, and merely killed black children rather than damaged abandoned property.
|
Duh, I never said black crime justified white crime. Yer beginnin ta get a little incoherent here, hoss!

I also notice that you turned tail and ran in the Halloween thread when I showed you examples of the violence of whites, running up to massive and historic genocides. Why is that?
|
I had never started a discussion of white versus black violence - that impression came from your overheated emotions on the subject. Of course, there has never been any violence, using, say, body counts as a metric, to compare with the historical violence of white leftists.

Since everyone knows you wished to make some sooty little indictment of all blacks based on the behavior of a handful on Devil's Night in Detroit, why doesn't the same logic indict all whites for the crimes of whites?
