This sniper business

I wonder if white people gave a sigh of relief like when black people do

when we find out the person who did some repugnant shit is white? I know

when I found out it was a black guy I was like “Fuuuuuuuuuuck!”.  I totally

get this from my mother.  Whenever we would watch the news and some crazy

shit was happening, she would always rumble under her breath, “I hope it’s

white folks doing that crazy shit.”  I know that’s why I’m thinking about

this in this way and in a sick and twisted way, I’m kinda disappointed that

he was caught so easily if it is him. All that work, to get caught sleeping

at a rest stop??



I'm saying, the cops didn't accuse him or charge him, didn't even name him,

yet Mr. Muhammad and a minor's name is all over the news. Ok, so it

"leaked".  But this whole thing begs the question, do I honestly care more

that they are black than that the people doing this are caught?  Or, would

it be better to be under the belief that the ‘white sniper’ is still out

there.  I’m glad if this crazy is off of the streets, but on some sort of

larger scale, I wonder if I would rather have the latter.



The reason I say this is that already, people are saying and only seeing it

like this: Black + Muslim = Farrakhan = add the Nation of Islam and American

blacks to the axis of evil.  It might be a stretch, but is it?  What’s

next?? Bean pie crumbs in the backseat of the car??!!  But actually, all of

the ‘I am God’ talk fits right in with the theories and philosophies of the

5%ers.  So there you have your link to the NOI…..



First it’s Jesse Jackson and his love affairs, next it’s Al Sharpton and the

crack he bought in his pimp days on video... although it's 15 years late. 

Now you have the government with their eyes on the NOI and the Five

Percenters??  There aren’t too many black groups or leaders to go after are

there??



And I wonder if the 2 people arrested were white, with the same

circumstances, military background etc… then would it be another case of ‘he

had mental problems and lets blame it on his childhood.’



There is an interesting editorial on MSNBC’s website about how Bush didn’t

get involved because the NRA helps so many Republicans get elected, that he

couldn’t risk having their money and support pulled.  …. Very interesting.



Now, why have a good number of the big domestic attacks are committed by

ex-military Persian-gulf vets? (Tim McVey et al)  Everyone I know from the

military has some issues.  Maybe this whole post-war counseling thing should

be taken more serious.  Maybe it’s the whole preparing people to integrate

themselves back into society after they’ve been in the military for a while.

…..



…….now look at ME!!!, I’m finding myself already convicting these men and

they haven’t even been in custody for 24 hours….



all the while, the US prepares to quietly take a war resolution to the UN

for a private vote while we're all wrapped up in this sniper business....



Damn shame…………………..
