Thatta girl Amanda! When life gets difficult and you are facing a life sentence, find a random black guy to blame for your misdeeds. Just like you blamed the murder on African businessman Patrick Lumumba before he was able to prove his innocence via alibi.
And if that doesn't work, play the sympathy card in front of a jury. You played that jury like a fiddle, and now you are free.
Who cares if you really committed this crime? The important thing was your legal team discrediting the police investigation, your manipulating the jury with your looks and demographic status, and your getting released by any means necessary.
Way to go! I hope you and Casey Anthony start a reality show together!!!!!!!!!!!
Americans tend to be masters of euphemism. This is especially true in regard to exploring issues of an ethnic or racial dimension. This blog seeks to nudge debate toward honesty and openness in a manner that is not intended to offend; but offend it likely will.

Redneck Throws A McDonald's Cup At Me From A Pick-Up Truck
It has been 3 weeks since my return to the USA. While my return has been remarkably pleasant for the most part, today there was an incident that reminded me that the proverbial 10% bigot rule still holds true.
I am in Orlando, Florida which is a medium sized city with a majority minority population. While I was jogging today just after sundown, noticed a full McDonald's cup wizz past me. I then saw a beat-up pick-up truck speed by with two occupants inside.
My impulse was to run and catch up to the truck at the red light. But I then realized that this is America. The goobers in the truck might have a gun and being a black man, the eternal redneck excuse the blackie having attacked them first was a possibility.
I the cup did not hit me, and I decided that these rednecks likely are miserable and wanted to spread their misery to someone else.
The larger issue is that this type of thing is bound to be on the increase in America. The economy has abandoned menial laborers like these two and that, coupled with a President of African descent is bubbling over in some of these people.
As Gerald Celente says, "When people have nothing to lose, they 'lose it'."

The Muted Condemnation of Murderer Raymond Clark
The nation was captivated with the disappearance of Yale grad student Annie Le. I recall seeing interviews with Yale students that they always felt they had to be careful in the Yale university "neighborhood" and now they feel that way more so.
Now that it is has been established that the killer was white, preppy Raymond Clark, the outcry has been muted to non-existent. It is obvious that this is not the face of the killer in the minds of most Americans.
Now that we know he is white, it is interesting to hear the rationalizations about why he resorted to killing her. Mental illness, extreme distress, etc, everything but out and out evil.
Consider for a moment if the killer would have been non-white. We would have seen an outcry for the killer's head immediately. I don't think that Annie Le would approve of the pass granted by the court of public opinion to Raymond Clark. I hope that the courts do their job and put this individual away for the rest of his life. The misery he will endure in prison will be far greater in duration than the pain he inflicted on poor Annie.

The Thinly-Veiled Bigotry Towards President Obama
Three recent events are the bigotry I predicted for President Obama the night he won the election. The explosive health care "town halls" designed to undermine the success of the President's initiative on emotional grounds, the anger at the President's plan to address school children, and the visceral "You lie "outburst of Representative Joe Wilson during Obama's health care address to Congress. How dare Obama win the presidency and deign to expect to accomplish anything! An accomplished Obama further whittles away at the white supremacist agenda so every effort must be made to undermine his success and dignity in their minds.
There are some Americans who refuse to acknowledge the dignity of the office on racial grounds alone. This begs the question. Would these recent occurrences have taken place if Obama were white? Surely not. As time goes on, a subset of these collectivist half-wits will get used to Obama's presidency. But most of these people will remain entrenched in the benighted mentality that they don't even know afflicts them.
Fortunately, most Americans are not moved by this nonsense and recognize it for what it is worth. But any suggestion that America is no longer gripped by it's white supremacist past falls upon deaf ears when this stuff continues.

If White Americans Are To Be Envied, Here's Why.
I am not one to assume that whites enjoy any innate advantage in the United States. There are poor whites, middle class whites, and affluent whites who have varying degrees of hurdles to overcome in day to day life.
But if there is one thing that whites enjoy that let's say blacks do not, it is respect for their individualism. By this I mean, a white person can choose to be a redneck, a wall street banker, a conservative, a liberal, or a hermit and society does not castigate them for not adhering to a predetermined role assigned to whiteness.
Blacks on the other hand, are expected to think a certain way, assume certain characteristics, and embody stereotype. For example, Barney Frank and Rush Limbaugh are polar opposites. One is a gay, left-wing Member of Congress and the other is a heterosexual, right-wing political pundit. They have nothing in common, yet they are both full-fledged whites. On the other hand, Al Sharpton and Clarence Thomas represent the same continuum in Black America. However, Thomas is castigated as "not authentically Black," as a racial turncoat, and as some sort of an anomoly by both many blacks and whites. Sharpton, eccentricities and all, would be viewed as the true black of the two.
What is going on here? On the black side, there is an unabashed collectivist mindset that deems any black person as a single part of the whole, a "brother" if you will.
On the white side, it is a bit different. Most whites take their cue about blacks from limited personal experience and politically correct practices demanded by blacks. Whites are thus conditioned and encouraged by blacks to view blacks in a collectivist manner.
Both are misguided. Until Americans extend the burden of individual assessment to persons of ALL ethnicities, the double standard will persist.
