Did you know that violent white men are never arrested for their actions? The Chicago Sun-Times' Mary Mitchell is sure of it, if you aren't. In another of her typically race baiting articles, Mitchell this time says that any time a white man is engaged in violent behavior, he is let off "to go on his merry way," never to be "held accountable" for his actions. Race monger Mitchell is sure of this, see, because she saw a traffic scuffle between two "old white guys" where no arrests were made by Chicago police.
Two "old white guys" let go without arrest after a traffic altercation? Wow, case closed, racism exists, eh?
Mitchell claims she saw a traffic altercation where one white guy jumped from his car and verbally abused another white man in the car behind him. The Chicago police were called and, in the end, both drivers were told to "go on their merry way," as Mitchell put it. No arrests were made. Then again, no real violence occurred, either.
Mitchell claims she and other witnesses were stunned.
Then, things fall apart. Honda is back in the car and drives away. What? We witnesses don’t understand. Shouldn’t this guy remain on the scene, or be escorted to the police station? Don’t the cops need to write up some kind of report or dispense some tickets for traffic violations? (Obstructing traffic, for starters.)... Then the cuffs are taken off of Explorer and he, too, is allowed to go on his merry way. No ticket. No arrest.
The police explain to Mitchell that the man accosted did not want to press charges, so the incident was over.
But, this didn't stop Mitchell from imagining she saw racism in this incident... of course, Mitchell sees racism in everything under the sun. After explaining what she saw, Mitchell goes off on a tired-of-the-man-keeping-me-down rant that is just as silly as it is unsupported by any real facts.
Not equal justice:
This is American justice for white men. The other side of what is typically picked up by the media. Images of black and Latino men, young and old, who get yanked from their vehicles, strong-armed, handcuffed, frisked, and physically held, sometimes by the bottom of an officer’s shoe, on the street until they are loaded into a wagon and carted off to the nearest holding pen.
This is how white men are (not) held accountable for their actions. I can imagine how this whole scene would have been dealt with by authorities had the brawlers been men of color.
Not one of the cops I saw held their hand instinctively, protectively over their weapons, a hair trigger away. I suppose everyone knows that old white guys, even when they’re perps, are just not that scary.
"Justice for white men?"
Mitchell is the Sun-Times' resident race monger, a large portion of her columns seem to have been dredged up from 1956, but this one is poor even by her low standards. I mean, is she serious that this anecdotal evidence is enough to state a thing as fact? All black men would be jailed in an exactly similar incident? Apparently so.
Did Mitchell offer any statistics to buttress her wild claim? Did she show any studies or police reports? Not a one. She just made the wild leap of logic to comply with her prejudices.
Her capper is a piece of work, too.
Still, I wouldn’t take any chances. Beware of an angry white man driving a Ford Explorer, who thinks, and now knows from experience, that he is entitled to do whatever he wants whenever he wants to whomever he wants with little fear that there’ll be consequences or repercussions.
In light of this line of “reasoning,” how many black athletes can we point to where this line applies? Has there not been many a black athlete who has repeatedly broken the law on many levels but felt that he was "entitled to do whatever he wants whenever he wants to whomever he wants with little fear that there’ll be consequences or repercussions"?
Should I look at the example of black athletes and make that an excuse to say that all black men can get away with anything they want, that they are never held accountable for their actions? If not, why not?
I wonder what race-monger Mitchell would say to that?

Would she have been more satisfied had the police wrestled the two men to the ground and beaten them within an inch of their life?

July 9, 2008 - 13:40 ET by candanceAnyone who watches COPS sees pretty clearly that few people get arrested for civil disturbances. The police don't want to haul people down to jail and waste time in court over an argument - especially when no one wants to press charges anyway. Call them crazy but they'd rather be looking for actual dangers to society.
I anxiously wait to see how a lefty on here will defend this one.

WHite violence!!! yeah..in South Africa too!!!
July 9, 2008 - 14:12 ET by PaarlThough I am a white African of Rhodesian origin and as such I am not allowed to opine on racial issues I will violate the official taboo
and remark that violence against whites in South Africa is endemic.
The crime rate is astounding and the brutality against rural Afrikaaners is atrocious....BTW I am not Afrikaans...just a plain old white Rhodesian of Lithuanian/Russian/Jewish origin. Most of the violent murders against the rural Afrikaaners exhibit torture of a bizarre and cruel nature. Because crime in SA is not reported by colour in the press the exact numbers of white murdered is estimated at 25-30 a day. South Africa has 100 violent deaths a day...murder plus culpable homicide. It is getting very bad for Afrikaaners....they are the target of this clandestine and secretive effort (in my belief) to cleanse the rural areas of white farmers. BTW food production in South Africa is falling...Gentlemen and ladies..get out your wallets and be prepared to feed 45 million Africans in SA within a few years...
Isn't uhuru wonderful !!!!

A couple of months ago, I spoke with a friend of mine who is a emigree from South Africa. He goes back to visit a couple times a year and told me that he can see a steady and rapid deterioration in the country's infrastructure. He said a bad sign is that there are regular power outages now. He told me that more and more of his friends and family have moved or are planning to move out the country. He also said the next president is just plain nuts and everyone is worried that he will prove to be a Robert Mugabe - or worse.

Helping poor Afrikaans children
July 9, 2008 - 15:36 ET by PaarlBecause of all the changes in South Africa there is white povery in big numbers in South Africa....that was bound to come with the end of Apartheid but what is particularly distressing is the fact that poor whites cannot access the limited social benefits that are available for the poor in SA as they are members of the "previously advantaged group" i.e whites. Much of this poverty is the result of very intense affirmitive action and black economic empowerment. Certainly help for blacks was warranted and few white South Africans would argue against it. But SA is slicing its own throat in a very direct fashion. The electrical...water...transporatation infrastructures are suffering because whites are dismissed for less qualified or non qualified black technicians..there are shortages of qualified technical people as qualified whites flee the country...already 1.0 million whites are gone...4.0 million still remain.
I am involved in small private charity devoted to helping the children of poor Afrikaaners come to the USA for education in private Christian academies . So far we have helped 10 kids come to the USA...small numbers but a start...
The next president will be Jacb Zuma..a very dangerous man but a Zulu unlike the current leadership of the ANC which is Xhosa so some interesting political dynamics might occur.
BTW..the name is Paarl...not Pearl..Paarl is a VERY beauitful town/city in the wine country of the Western Cape province

July 9, 2008 - 14:39 ET by KillgraveIt really frosts me when I read about white farmers in Africa having their land stolen, being thrown in jail, and outright murdered.
Of course, there is no international outcry. No one is calling this what it is: a racial majority oppressing and murdering a minority. This is the only time we are kept in the dark.
A cynical part of me thinks the lefties welcome this brutality, since the white "colonials" are getting "what they deserve".
And let's put all the obvious crimes aside. By killing off the farmers, these thugs are cutting off a dependable food source and throwing their country even further into starvation. So, in their vindictiveness, they are killing themselves.
I can rant all day about this.
All I know is, if I were a white in Africa, I would grab all I could carry, and just get the hell out.

Now we'll have to let you in on all of our "secrets". There are whole encyclopedias (if you know what they are) covering what White men can and can not get away with. Although, looking at your picture you may not have enough time to study what White men have studied their whole life. Maybe you can just hit the highlights--like getting out of traffic tickets, free newspapers, getting into "scuffles" and being sent on our way. Those, and thousands like them are in our guide.

In fact, the press won't even report on them, so unless you "knew for a fact" that they existed, you wouldn't even know they existed. This "Pops" gang puts the Crips and Bloods to shame.
Why just this morning there was a "Pops" drive-by shooting that nobody saw and nobody knew about, and they got clean away. I also know for a fact that the cops did nothing about a "Pops" car-jacking that was not reported by anybody.

July 9, 2008 - 16:45 ET by HeavyChevyAgain with this! Okay let me tell you a story; back in 2001 I got into a car accident on my way back to NC from VA involving at least 6 cars. Three squad cars showed up each with three white state troopers (two men one woman) unfortunately I left my wallet in the NOC (Network Operations Center) at my job and figured oh hell I’m screwed. I told the “White” female trooper that I do have a valid license but did not have it on me did you know what she had the nerve to tell me “No problem sir can you call someone to bring it to you?” the nerve of her being polite to me and to make matters worse when she told her superior about it the other “White” state trooper he said “We will deal with that later we need to make sure you ok.” such A-typical white arrogance!!
After the whole mess settled my evil doer white co-worker left my place of work to bring me my wallet and drive me back to my job and hung out with me until my cousin came to get me. I tell you, when do you White folks quit being so mean spirited!
And the moral of this story…KNOCK IT OFF MSM not every body is out to get us!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe the scuffle between two old white guys was just that a harmless scuffle that did not warrant an arrest or the paperwork!!
I know my story did not share to much with this particular blog but anyone here with common sense get my drift.

July 10, 2008 - 07:09 ET by KillgraveIt was obviously a stupid accident (granted, it was grossly negligent). If Williams simply fessed up, he would've made the best out of the situation.

Whites need not apply!
July 9, 2008 - 18:03 ET by pocomocoIt would appear that blacks now have a new ‘hood’.
It’s call victimhood. It is a place where ‘those who live to be offended’ reside and spend their lives analyzing every word, sentence, paragraph, article, and book making sure that their pristine culture and sensibilities aren’t being offended.
The brunt of their victimhood falls, of course, on whites who, they believe, have kept them from becoming doctors, lawyers, scientists, company CEOs and, yes, even news reporters who are capable of making inane remarks.
Martin Luther King must be spinning in his grave as today’s blacks have turned his “dream” upside-down into a nightmare where blacks now “judge” one by his color and not by his “character”.
What blacks are doing is creating an ever-widening divide between themselves and whites. In doing so, I can’t help but think that that’s exactly what blacks want to do.
To them, assimilation is a dirty word.
Who is the racist here?????????
July 9, 2008 - 19:34 ET by USA4freedom2006, blacks were 37.5% of all state and federal prisoners, though they're under 13% of the national population. About one in 33 black men was in prison in 2006, compared with one in 205 white men and one in 79 Hispanic men. Eleven percent of all black males between the ages of 20 and 34 are in prison or jail.
And that’s white people’s fault..
Its white peoples fault that blacks quit school, get pregnant, do badly in school because it looks white if they do well, have no father figures, do drugs etc..
This has to be the best victim trick yet. Blacks commit more crimes per-capita then any race, a large percent of that crime is against whites, and somehow.. I guess its because “white” people get away with it?? Drugs, robbery, rape, grand theft auto, drive by shootings.. So the cops walk up and say.. what..? a white guy did this shooting?? Well.. case closed, now where is that black guy that just littered??
Two white guys argue, no one was arrested? She was disappointed! Maybe they should have called the SWAT team. Now lets see, who is the racist here? I bet she would have felt better if the police beat the hell out of them or better yet let her take a few licks at them after all its only right..
Some how, people like this think that white people want backs to fall behind, it cost us all money, effort, and a great deal of sadness. Having blacks in prison, on welfare, having kids out of wedlock,living on food stamps does not make us feel better or put one penny in our pocket. It makes us all poor one way or the other.
