Blame It......
on the black guys. Here we go again. This woman and her daughter ran off to fucking disney world, but before they did, mom called to report they had been abducted by two black guys. I'm so sick of this shit. I'm sure she'll get the same community service the other chick got.

Our boys are endangered species. They can do everything right, but at the end of the day it's easy to blame them for anything...and be believed! It was only after they found surveillance of her and the daughter heading to Florida, did the story start to stink.

Here is a link from CNN...check out the Philly news for more.

1. i blame ...
...media represenation for terms like, "black on black" crime.

the fact that when they need to get the opinion of "black people" they find the most poverty stricken, jacked up representatives they can find. they routinely go to ONE black neighborhood (and i assure you, it's not the "middle class" or "wealthy" black neighborhood). it's almost always the one where all the black guys are wearing wave caps and at least a few dudes are missing teeth--the one's that aren't missing are gold. :eyes:

you guy's know what i'm talking about.

it's this idea that if the media says it, it's true. and the media portrays most (if not all) black men as dangerous, violent criminals that will take out their own to get over.

don't get me started on ALL the fantastic things that music television (MTV, BET)have done for black culture's representation. :eyes::puke:

3. Very good points.....
OT- Chicago asking the President to come and do something about the gun violence...hold a summit or something. That really ticked me off. At what point are you not responsible for your own and what you expose them to? Example...the baggy clothes, wave cap mess. I never allowed my boys to wear their clothes hanging off their asses or wear a wave cap outside of the house. They knew they would catch a beat down if we saw that mess. Their friends knew to straighten it up when they came to our house. At what point do we start working with our own children? I'm not waiting for Obama or anybody else to come help me with mine. Is he going to go house to house and tell the gang bangers to cut it out? This kind of shit is another reason why it's easy to blame us....we ask for help in the public arena like our kids are animals!

I know I've over simplified a complex issue but damn..

11. no--i understand.
i've felt the same way.

the black community wants him to do something about their kids,.... among other things. :eyes: check this one out (i was saving it for "best of" but while we're on the subject):

Let’s hope the Obama era will change thug rappers
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=389&topic_id=4557965

:eyes:

are you friggin' kidding me?

to be fair, black people aren't the only one's with "interesting" expectations where obama is concerned.
the collective white community wants him to resolve every thing that is f***** up w/their lives NOW.
yesterday, damn it. throughout the blogosphere i've seen comments like, "....he's not doing anything else--why hasn't he fixed this shit, yet?" no regard whatsoever for ALL he HAS accomplished, in such a short time (which, i'll be honest i was surprised by all he did w/in the first 100 days).

no acknowledgement...no appreciation. nothin. just put on the remix of, "what has your black ass done for me, lately?"

i never saw this kind of anger when caucasian presidents had been in office years, much less months. and where's the outrage at the presidential dudebros that made the messes to begin with? :shrug:

yep, all the black dude's fault. all of it. clearly he needs to get off his shiftless, lazy ass and fix all of this shit right quick. how he hasn't been impeached yet for incompetence (and not takin' care of massah's bidness) is beyond me. :eyes:

13. Yup...riding his ass like there is no tomorrow..
I remember just before the election someone posted some shit about OJ getting convicted for that mess in Las Vegas, and if it would affect Obama. Why? What does OJ have to do with Obama? Complete fuckery!

I also notice how the previous administration has no problem attacking as well. Dick Cheney wouldn't have shit to say if Obama wasn't the black President. He would be keeping his mouth shut. I also believe thats why his ass rode out in a wheelchair on inauguration day...damn if he was going to stand up while some "nigger" becomes President. I truly believe that.

The man has the weight of the world on his shoulders. He has inherited and unprecedented mess, and I'm not going to condemn him for not getting everything done right away. Hell, he's done more than the other one's accomplished in years!

17. On the converse
black people's interests are the ones usually left out during political campaigns. Moreso in this case because Obama can't be even hinted at being the "black" president, but the "post-racial" president doesn't scare and worry white people, whose votes are required to become president. Welcome to the 21st Century--doesn't look that much different. :eyes:

2. I worried in the "post-racial" USA, I would have to
figure out how to rid myself of the chip I've had on my shoulder most of my life. With stories like this, no need.

When a person falsely accuses a whole race of people for some shit s/he cannot own up to, that person should be charged with a hate crime.

(Did you hear the imaginary perps were driving a late-model Cadillac? This woman was really trying.)

20. Yeah and when you mention that it's barely a tap you get the whole
"two wrongs don't make a right". I'm not trying to make a right motherfucker. I want you to drop a bitch in prison like you would any black woman who pulled this shit. Because you damn sure don't seem too concerned about the overly harsh nature of our criminal justice system until a white woman gets caught up in it.

I want to give them a dollar and tell them to buy a clue but to be honest I need may damn dollar.

And I'm not making light of this situation at all. The whole thing is just so damn ridiculous (especially the Caddy) that laughing is the only way I can keep from hunting this woman down and beating her @ss.

that would be a beat down. or at the very least, a severe tongue lashing.

i was seriously hot w/miss thing who said, "...a big scary black man, kidnapped my precious children.....please, bring back my angels!" come to find out, her post-partum, bi-polar, un-medicated psychotically depressive ass had killed the kids. she put those poor kids in the back of her ride, and drowned them in the river.

21. It is interesting too how the MSM is handling this case.
This morning's Today Show and GMA conveniently omitted that the woman accused 2 BLACK men of the abduction. Had the story not been proven false, the race of the 'perpetrators' would have been front and center.

Fox suggested she might be suffering from post-partum depression since she has an 8-mos. old.

It looks like she will have to do some time - not for race-baiting, but for stealing her coworker's identity. What is wrong with her???

I hope that she is never able to get away from doing this--no matter where she goes or how much time has elapsed--she should never be able to remove this footnote from herself. Ever.

26. i doubt she will.
the woman (susan something)that drowned her kids and blamed it on a "black stranger" hasn't lived it down...from her jail cell. lol.

chuck stewart's claim that a black man murdered his pregnant wife (in front of him)in urban boston, has haunted his memory, and that of his surviving family members (he comitted suicide). his family created a scholarship fund for black youth, after his death--they were so ashamed that he blamed his crime on a black man.

i could go on. sadly history is filled with these jack asses.

32. if they don't....
Edited on Fri May-29-09 04:44 PM by bliss_eternal
...take a call seriously, the operator could be in major trouble if it is later found out victim attempted to call for help, and the operator blew them off. it's my understanding that in such cases, the operator could be in severe trouble. their job is to take every call seeking help, seriously.

this is why i was furious when a child (in a black area) called "911" and was presumed to be playing--and someone died. :(
link found:

911 operator scolds African-American boy for "prank" as his mom dies!
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=364&topic_id=891830


in most cases, a call to "911" isn't played with, and people take it very seriously--even if it's later found out to be a ruse.
if a crime is being committed, someone's in danger, dying, etc. and no one heeds the call--:scared: it's not a good thing.

34. Latest by defense attorney....
"It's not a crime to take your kid to Disney World" , no mention of the black guys in the cadillac!. That part of the story has dropped off the radar!
