“I looked out the window and saw that the boy had been hit, so I threw on my coat and ran out there,” said Hughes, who is retired from the St. James Nursing Center in Detroit. Hughes also made sure to pack her .38 caliber pistol. “You have to carry a gun around here,” she said. “This neighborhood is terrible. I don’t walk around without my gun.
So, I've got a question: how does this fit in with all those comments expounding upon racial theories that I deleted yesterday?
10 comments:
not sure..didn't see the comments before they were deleted. :)
Is like to ask this question line.
When 8 out of 10 blacks below the age of thirty in Chicago absolutely will snatch your I phone out of your hand and sneakers off your feet, and beat you senseless for daring to try to stop them, how can one refer to them without offending someone? When is it simply telling the truth, as opposed to stereotyping?
See, this isn't "because they are black" it's because they are wildlings that simply do not know how to act civilized. This has come to pass because the truth isn't allowed to be told for fear of "racism".
People aren't good or bad because of their skin color. Period. But let's examine this one.
More blacks of age are in jail than in college. A true statement. But neither is BECAUSE they are black!
I'm so sick of bullshit like this. The "black community" needs to endeavor in some self scrutiny......
"How does this square with all the comments I deleted yesterday?"
Cream rises to top, maybe?
Being around inner city blacks of a certain age range makes me very wary and watchful as opposed to a group of white or Mexican kids. If that qualifies me as a rascist, Mike, so be it.
I'm glad this woman did what she did, but that doesn't change my mind.
That's good of her for doing that, but there is still the matter of that mob of savage barbarians beating up an innocent guy that she had to contend with.
I was not a racist until I started being around African Americans.
Now I'm extremely cautious around them. (If they are extremely cautious around me, that's fine by me.)
For my own safety, and the safety of my family, I got as far away from them as possible.
We are, of course, saddened to see that people like this nurse, who risked her life to help the victim, may also experience discrimination in her life. However, what so many of the analysts miss is: that isn't our problem, and she should be angry with the thugs, not with those of us who have eyes to see and refuse to pretend to be deaf, dumb, and blind.
You may, of course, have heard that the latest "intellectual" exercise in minimizing and apologizing for the behavior of savages is the just-so story of the "invisible knapsack," for which the unfamiliar may search online if they so desire.
In counterpoint I offer the Story of the Top Hat Gang. In one town, you see, there were a group of people who could always be immediately identified at a distance by the fact that they went about in public wearing top hats. They were prone to constant random acts of senseless violence and vandalism, from smashing windows to spray-painting their names on the bathroom walls at McDonald's to arson to dragging elderly people out of their vehicles and lynching them for coming into "their" part of town. They became known for behaving like absolute subhuman monsters, and everyone learned immediately never to turn their backs on them, everyone learned immediately never to go into 7-11 when there was a crowd of a dozen "yoots" in top hats tipping over shelves and whooping it up. They filled the welfare rolls and the jails. Everyone knew, despite planned, deliberate efforts on the part of the government and the newsmedia to conceal these important facts.
There were also some folk, who did not wear top hats, who were so terrified of the top hat wearing thugs that they suffered from Stockholm Syndrome and created elaborate imaginary excuses and justifications for their crimes, but no one listened to these people, because they were fools.
In any event, in this town there were a small number of people who wore top hats in public but were not violent hoodlums. They were saddened when they were at a crosswalk, and the people in the cars waiting for the light to turn green saw them and rolled up their windows and locked their doors. It dampened their spirits when they went to a store and the store manager followed them around to make sure they weren't shoplifting, as people with top hats were wont to do. They were filled with sorrow because other people crossed the street when they saw them coming. They were melancholy because the people with concealed weapons permits immediately upon seeing them put their hands on their guns in an obvious manner. They felt sorry for themselves because the police watched them closely and acted as though they expected trouble from them, because people wearing top hats were also known for violent attacks on the police. And the said, "This is unjust. This is 'headwear profiling.' This is 'discrimination.' You have hurt our feelings and we demand that you stop noticing the top hats that we wear. This is a violation of our civil rights and we want to sue." Too many people felt sorry for them, and no one had the courage to tell these people, "Not our problem. We're just trying not to be killed on the way home from the supermarket and we refuse to go through life wearing blinders just to spare your tender feelings. If you want to be offended, if you want to be angry, if you want to sue someone, it's the violent thugs wearing top hats whose behavior we have noticed, and we're not going to stop noticing it. Go away and lecture them, if you're brave enough. Good luck with that. Have a nice life."
Ms. Hughes is a caregiver. That puts her in a respected position to start with and I admire her personal courage. I hope some rich Samaritan moves her to a safe neighborhood, as she deserves it. Now, about those savages that live in her neighborhood.......
Er! ... so where were the Police?
A retired nurse had to do the job because they cannot be there until after the fact.
It is called "self Defence" because good citizens have to do it for themselves ... waiting for Police leaves it all too late.
... whiich is all self-evident anyway ...

The actions of one do not excuse the hundreds of thousands of actions of others.
I almost had to put six rounds into a feral one last night, who was running around threatening drivers at stop lights.
One recalls the statement of a famous racist, Jesse Jackson who felt a wave of relief upon noticing the footsteps behind him at night were thos of a white person.
I remember reading a few years ago that Sweden had (might still have) a real problem with violent motorcycle gangs - populated with very white Swedish youth.
Something about comprehenseive government welfare for single moms making constructive manhood (providing for and protecting your family) unavailable, leaving destructive "manhood", joining in feral, violent packs, as the most accessable option for testosterone-laden young men, whether white (in Sweden) or black (inner city US).
