Rodney King — the most celebrated civil rights "victim" of the last quarter century was in point of fact a convicted felon resisting arrest. The President of the United States and the U.S. Justice Department took up King's grievance despite his record, despite his race (more probably because of it) and despite the exoneration of the officers involved in the incident by a jury of their peers. The police were tried a second time — a procedure directly against the American legal grain — and Rodney King emerged triumphant. He received his "justice."
That was David Horowitz, in his subtly-titled Reparations Buffoons On the Washington Mall
It's got it all, really. The sneer quotes, playing fast and loose with the facts, the use of "Buffoons" in the title.
Oh, and the kids at little green footballs are shocked at the anti-Semitism emanating from the Cynthia McKinney camp. Mind you, the entry has this sentence:
The woman is absolutely despicable; no wonder she has the support of CAIR and other radical Muslim groups.
I can't satirize this stuff. I just can't.
Glenn Reynolds reports on voter intimidation in the 4th District race. Police cars sitting outside polling places, folks getting their ids checked and double-checked. . . no, wait, that was niggers in Florida in 2000. This is people getting phone calls.
Again, I can't work with this material.
Lastly, one of the Fucking White Oppressors (namely, Paul Craig Roberts) asks:
What is the future for whites in a political system where both political parties pander to third world immigrants and support racial privileges for minorities? Having lost equal protection of law, what will whites lose next?
The ones who actually believe this stuff?
At a guess?
Their minds.

rolling my eyes so hard they hurt. can i please be an honorary something-other-than-white? maybe a commie pinko? yeah that's the ticket.

kd, maybe try the Azians. Black people suck, too. Just in new and (initially, at least) interesting ways.
Timm, I'm figuring the extremists pushed out everyone else. Don't see that happening here. No extremists are a majority so far.
Certainly not feminists. Since, you know, I'm not one.

"freetles" as a persona was invented originally to challenge the worst of the racist right-wing idiocy on LGF, but I gave up. It was taking too long and they were SO convinced of their own righteousness.

Note I have not posted there in quite some time.
Withdrawing in disgust is not the same as apathy.
Um, you're convinced of our righteousness, right?

kd, you can be Irish with me. Yeah, we're still white, but we're the whites that British government officials called "human orangutans" and the "European Negro" as recently as the sixties. (Man, I wish I still had my documentation on that little gem. I hate spitting out that stuff without).
Alas, it's ever-so-fashionable to be a lazy Mick these days.
