Since the three idiots in Germantown say that they were unaware that nooses are offensive to Blacks,I thought it was my duty to give them a brief lesson as to why Blacks feel the way they feel about the reminder of what nooses have done in the history of a race of people

Granted, the White stagehands did something very stupid, and the Black guy suckerpunched them for it. Germantown had no choice -- he would have sued had the three not been fired.
But where, o where, is the MUTUALITY of respect, civility, and sensitivity in this city?
Taking their cue from "leaders" such as Willie Herenton, far too many Blacks make NO effort to get along with Whites and other ethnic groups in Memphis.
If Blacks have been the victims of such terrible and continuing oppression -- why are they so often so insensitive when they oppress others?
Respect is a two-way street.
I wish more Memphis Blacks would understand that simple point.
I just hope they don't need any bullwhips for any productions or this tender stagehand might wet his pants.
For decades, the White people of America have been subjected to a continual barrage from Blacks and others that Europeans are somehow "responsible" for the African slave trade and that we need to "atone" for our "guilt." There are a number of flaws with the idea that we are somehow "responsible" for the African slave trade.
First, few White people even owned slaves--slavery was a rich man's pursuit, and slavery did not exist amongst the middle and working classes of White people.
Second, even if every European in America had an ancestor who owned slaves (which is an extremely unlikely proposition), it makes little sense to blame the children for the supposed sins of their fathers.
Third, Blacks sold their own kind into slavery, do blacks are every bit as much to blame for slavery as are Whites.
Fourth, European Whites did not bring the slaves to America. On the contrary, it was the Asiatic Jews who brought them here.

So, my fellow White American, there is nothing whatsoever to feel guilty about concerning slavery and it is time to quit apologizing for something others are responsible for. Besides, approximately six hundred thousand White soldiers died in the American Civil War. Have you ever heard of Blacks paying homage to or thanking these men?
One of the aims of the Dutch Government, when it established the West India Company in 1621, was to obtain a share in the African slave trade which was largely controlled by the Portuguese. At that time Portugal was united with Spain, with whom the Dutch were at war. Therefore, the Dutch also attacked the Portuguese and seized many of their slave trading posts in West Africa.
With the expansion of plantations in the Americas, and the increasing market for slaves, other European countries, including England and France, also established trading companies to supply slaves to their colonies.
It is estimated that the English transported 1,900,000 slaves to their colonies in the Caribbean from 1651 to 1807 when they finally abolished the slave trade. The French, whose trade lasted between 1664 and 1830, shipped about 1,650,000 to their colonies. In roughly the same period, the Dutch took 900,000 to the Guianas and the West Indies. Of course, these figures do not include those who died on the sea voyage and those who were killed by slave hunters in the gathering process in Africa.
The European slave trading companies and also independent slave traders carried out their slave collecting in western Africa in the areas of Senegal, Gambia, the Gold Coast, the Niger delta, and even as far south as the Congo River and Angola. The captains of slave ships traded directly with African chiefs or through "factors" who were European agents in charge of slave collecting centres. At these centres, the slaves were kept in enclosed areas known as baracoons.
All over western Africa, domestic slavery existed within various tribes. Actually, the lowest caste within these tribes were born and lived as slaves and performed the task as servants in households. Merchants who also owned slaves used them for carrying heavy loads through the forest and savannah.
PERMANENT UNDERCLASS... GET OVER IT!!!
The real problem these days is that we don't bring back the gallows and the noose and start hanging some of these murderous ass thugs on Court Square.. bring the kids, make a day of it....
Your race is going down the toilet and you worry about this crap..
This does indeed prove to me, beyond a shadow of a doubt that these people are as ridiculous as I thougt they were... stick to the real problems.. leave the bull**** alone.....
I been in COGIC 48 years, and I along with quite a few others knew that Jimerson was the Bishop's son; and I feel ashamed for never raising my voice to the truth.
When Jimerson's Mother came to work in Memphis, she wanted to me a Missionary to Africa, but J.O. wanted her to stay in Memphis (guess we know why).
Sister Jierson was 17 years younger than J.O. so if anyone was taken advantage of it was her. She was a 19 year old girl, coming to give her life in the service of the church, and was pursued because she was young, attractive and i nieve.
Bishop was a man of God, but he was not without sin. He was involved with Mary Peak before Sister Patterson ever died; he Fathered Steve while married to Sister Patterson; and he did with Benjamin.
If you want to know the truth there are plenty who know it, like Bishop L.T. Walker, Bishop Haynes, Bishop Blake, Bishop Mc Kinney, and others.
What troubles me is that they won't except this boy or treat him with the respect he is due as the son of our former Presiding bishop.
We sure have learned a lot about knots this week. Who would have ever thought so much publicity could be given to a slip knot...

Respect is a two way so why are the airwaves filled with white supremacist drunks like glen beck. junkies like rush limbaugh, and draft dodgers like sean hannitty? Their is no situation room with louis farrakhan or hard ball with jessie jackson. It is over for many whites that think they are owed something since corporate white america has already decided that theyt would rather pay a brown man $8.00 bucks than you $25.00 or that your kids get cancer, you lose your job you are SOL. Watch thhe housing markets alot of forclosures in collierville, cordova, germantown
most are white that's right the great mighty white man losing his home who is to blame? can you still be a conservative? You know that so called english only crap is just a ploy to pander to redneck word slurring whiteboys so that they can feel superior about something. a shame because this is a global economy and it was once a sign of intelligence to speak more than one language. I am glad those clowns got canned!!
http://www.morethings.com/fan/blazing_saddles/hangman.jpg
I recognize a comment coming from an educated black man. They attempt to speak intelligent and makes quotes with no rhymn or reason. 1) the foreclosures are from the low interest rate loans that are geared toward to the poor black folks that WANT to live in a white community. These loans are called "arms". LOL,,,, they are lucky to live where the grass is greenier for two years till the house payment goes from $600.00 t0 $2000.00,,, then their rent-a- center furniture is put to the curb. Then your extended family has to find another house in the burbs to have their block parties at, play their rap,, get out in the front yard using obsene language and park anywhere they want. I am sure the hard working neighbors in that hood will have their own back yard party after the eviction. 2) the english language has gone to the dogs,,, bow wow wow, yeppie yo yippie yeah,,,, the all mighty ghetto hood rat rap,,, totally unrecognizable english. A person can understand Spanish better than that crap. 3) Over the air waves,,,, ahh yes, rap music: "Hood rat beotch gonna sux dis,, mind on my money and money on my mind,, with my 9mm on my side, gonna pop a cap in dat niggas azz. This is difinitely something to be proud of. Well I guess the way I figure it is,, the three that lost their job at least had a job to loose. They will be out tomorrow trying to find another one. Life goes on.
One of many expressions of violence directed mostly towards African Americans following Reconstruction and lasting well into the twentieth century was lynching. According to one set of statistics, lynch mobs in the old Confederate states, including Tennessee, killed 2,805 people, roughly one victim every week, between 1882 and 1930. Tennessee had 214 confirmed lynch victims during this period; 37 victims were white, 177 were African American. An additional 34 remain as unreconciled listings. Tennessee ranks sixth in the nation in the number of lynchings behind Mississippi, Georgia, Texas, Louisiana, and Alabama.
I wonder if the U.S. Navy requires of their sailors to attend sensitivity training before taking the basic seamanship course.
THE RACE WAR OF BLACK AGAINST WHITE
Paul Sheehan
From the Sydney Morning Herald, May 20, 1995
The longest war America has ever fought is the Dirty War, and it is not over. It has lasted 30 years so far and claimed more than 25 million victims. It has cost almost as many lives as the Vietnam War. It determined the result of last year's congressional election.
Yet the American news media do not want to talk about the Dirty War, which remains between the lines and unreported. In fact, to even suggest that the war exists is to be discredited. So let's start suggesting, immediately.
No matter how crime figures are massaged by those who want to acknowledge or dispute the existence of a Dirty War, there is nothing ambiguous about what the official statistics portray: for the past 30 years a large segment of black America has waged a war of violent retribution against white America.
And the problem is getting worse, not better. In the past 20 years, violent crime has increased more than four times faster then the population. Young blacks (under 18) are more violent than previous generations and are 12 times more likely to be arrested for murder than young whites.
Nearly all the following figures, which speak for themselves, have not been reported in America:
* According to the latest US Department of Justice survey of crime victims, more than 6.6 million violent crimes (murder, rape, assault and robbery) are committed in the US each year, of which about 20 per cent, or 1.3 million, are inter-racial crimes.
* Most victims of race crime – about 90 per cent – are white, according to the survey "Highlights from 20 Years of Surveying Crime Victims," published in 1993.
* Almost 1 million white Americans were murdered, robbed, assaulted or raped by black Americans in 1992, compared with about 132,000 blacks who were murdered, robbed, assaulted or raped by whites, according to the same survey.
* Blacks thus committed 7.5 times more violent inter-racial crimes than whites even though the black population is only one-seventh the size of the white population. When these figures are adjusted on a per capita basis, they reveal an extraordinary disparity: blacks are committing more than 50 times the number of violent crimes of whites.
* According to the latest annual report on murder by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, most inter-racial murders involve black assailants and white victims, with blacks murdering whites at 18 times the rate that whites murder blacks.
These breathtaking disparities began to emerge in the mid-1960s, when there was a sharp increase in black crime against whites, an upsurge which, not coincidentally, corresponds exactly with the beginning the modern civil rights movement.
Over time, the cumulative effect has been staggering. Justice Department and FBI statistics indicate that between 1964 and 1994 more than 25 million violent inter-racial crimes were committed, overwhelmingly involving black offenders and white victims, and more than 45,000 people were killed in inter-racial murders. By comparison 58,000 Americans died in Vietnam, and 34,000 were killed in the Korean war.
When non-violent crimes (burglary, larceny, car theft and personal theft) are included, the cumulative totals become prodigious. The Bureau of Justice Statistics says 27 million non-violent crimes were committed in the US in 1992, and the survey found that 31 per cent of the robberies involved black offenders and white victims (while only 2 per cent in the reverse).
When all the crime figures are calculated, it appears that black Americans have commited at least 170 million crimes against white Americans in the past 30 years. It is the great defining disaster of American life and American ideals since World War II.
All these are facts, yet by simply writing this story, by assembling the facts in this way, I would be deemed a racist by the American news media. It prefers to maintain a paternalistic* double-standard in its coverage of black America, a lower standard.
Lynchings occurred in seventy Tennessee counties. Shelby County ranked first in the state with 18, and Obion County was second with 17. The largest documented group lynching took place in August 1894 in Shelby County, where six men accused of arson were lynched…..
African American victims, both men and women, were regularly tortured with methods that included eye-gouging, cutting off of the ears and nose, and cutting off fingers and toes joint by joint for souvenirs. Lynch mobs used corkscrews to tear flesh and wire pliers to extract teeth. African American men were usually unsexed as part of the lynching; African American women were raped. According to the evidence, white male lynching victims were not tortured before death, nor were white females raped.

Eyewitness to Terror: The Lynching of a Black Man in Obion County, Tennessee in 1931
http://www.blackpast.org/?q=perspectives/eyewitness-terror-lynching-black-man-obion-county-tennessee-1931
"The Native American Woman's Health Education Resource Center has documented abuses carried out by the Indian Health Services (IHS), Job Corps, and other agencies on which Native American women depend for health care services. Issues they have identified are forced sterilization, unsafe use of Depo-Provera and Norplant, and destructive alcohol-related policies"
"A study by the Government Accounting Office during the 1970s found widespread sterilization abuse in four areas served by the IHS. In 1975 alone, some 25,000 Native American women were permanently sterilized--many after being coerced, misinformed, or threatened. One former IHS nurse reported the use of tubal ligation on "uncooperative" or "alcoholic" women into the 1990s."
SO THE BLACK AMERICANS THINK THEY HAVE SOMETHING TO BITCH ABOUT THAT HAPPENED OVER 150 YEARS AGO,,,,,LOL
100 Years of Lynchings (Paperback)
by Ralph Ginzburg (Author) "WEST POINT, N.Y., Apr. 15-James Webster Smith, the first colored cadet in the history of West Point, was recently taken from his bed,
CHATTEL SLAVERY is closest to the slavery that prevailed in early American history. Chattel slaves are considered their masters’ property — exchanged for things like trucks or money and expected to perform labor and sexual favors. Once of age, their children are expected to do the same. Chattel slavery is typically racially-based; in the North African country of Mauritania, for example, black Africans serve the lighter-skinned Arab-Berber communities. Though slavery was legally abolished there in 1980, today 90,000 slaves continue to serve the Muslim Berber ruling class. Similarly, in the African country of Sudan, Arab northerners are known to raid the villages in the South — killing all the men and taking the women and children to be auctioned off and sold into slavery.
AND OUR BLACK AMERICANS THINK THEY HAVE IT ROUGH,,,,,
Slave Trading on Africa's West Coast
The slave trade in Africa was officially banned in the early 1880s, but forced labor continues to be practiced in West and Central Africa today. UNICEF estimates that 200,000 children from this region are sold into slavery each year. Many of these children are from Benin and Togo, and are sold into the domestic, agricultural, and sex industries of wealthier, neighboring countries such as Nigeria and Gabon.
With Cause but Without Condition. Many people look at cause and condition separately. They believe their circumstances are due to causes but not to conditions. They overlook the complex connection of cause and condition. Some people view cause and condition as separate and independent. Sometimes they believe in cause but not in condition. Other times, they only accept the existence of condition. These people fail to realize that cause and condition are forever changing, never standing still to wait for anyone. There is an old saying which illustrates this point, "Good will receive blessings, and evil will be punished. It is not that there are no effects to our acts; it is just a matter of time."
AND YOUR NIGGER MAYOR HAS A VIOLENT "SHAKE THE HATERS OFF" AS A SLOGAN...FUCK YOU NIGGERS!
now the comment above mind tells you the mentality of an inbred,diesel smelling honkie .he says fuck you niggers like that cuts like a knife.ahahahah u honkies are low class filth that raped every thing that crawled flew ,walked and he says fuck you niggers i bet when his punk ass typed the word nigger he looked behind him and peeped out his window to make sure no one seen him type nigger..ahahahah give it a rest honkies u are controled by KING WILLIE HERENTON....WILLIE 4 MORE YEARS.
Taking their cue from "leaders" such as Willie Herenton, far too many Blacks make NO effort to get along with Whites and other ethnic groups in Memphis.
YOU MOTHERFUCKERS OH SHIT......NOW YOU CARE ABOUT US WANTING TO GET ALONG WITH YOU? FUCK EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU!
and many blacks on this site still think the vile crotch of religion worshiping jewboy steve cohen gives a damn about them.
jews are the most evil beings on the planet earth. i can understand why there is so much hatred of them in the middle east.
Keep moving Negros backward in time Thaddeus.you and your buttbuddy Herenton are great at it.
11:32 ... man, did you hit the nail on the head!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
This is where your appreciation of African Americans suffers... Many of US also understand the principles of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and are quite enlightened of this opportunity called life.
Maybe you are not aware that slightly less than a couple hundred years ago some Whites EARNED PHD's in the principles of SLAVERY. There are still some WHITES who love their BLACKS like they love their dog... as less than a human beings! People of the Holocast experience in Eupore "takeout" this same "future insurance" and vow "Never Again!" I agree Blacks in America should be no less vilgiant of their "freedom" than people of the Jewish Religion or Semitic Race!
Moral of this story - Willie just might be following the lead of people... like me!
you know it's true
Wanna know what King Willie thinks of the blacks?? He's now charging fees for tailgating at the Southern Heritage Classic. And his boy Fred Jones has his lips firmly planted to Willie's ass for condoning it. Mr. Hater is sticking it to the blacks every chance he gets and you idiots are too blind to see. You deserve what you get.
What G'Town needs to do next is draw up a plan with specifics about height, color, size, typefaces, etc about ANY known (or even unknown) icon that is deemed an infraction toward blacks. After the plan is complete and approved by all twelve G'Town black citizens, the mayor should appoint a board that overlooks this activity and fines businesses into submission - sort of like they do with their sign ordinances.

Rapes Up in Memphis and Shelby County
sbuduson@myeyewitnessnews.com
Last Update: 6:22 am
Mid-South Reports Of Rapes On The Rise
The number of reported rapes is on the rise in the Mid-South! There has been a 400% increase in reported rapes in Shelby County.
The City of Memfrica has also seen the numbers of reported rapes rise in 2007. In fact, more rapes have been reported to Memfrica Police so far this year than in all of 2006.
Between January 2007 and September 2007, 312 rapes have been reported to Memfrica Police. During all of 2006, 286 rapes were reported to Memfrica Police.
In Shelby County, five people have reported rapes to the Shelby County Sheriff's Department this year. In September 2006, only one rape had been reported.
Local experts say the actual number of rapes happening in the Mid-South is far higher than the number reported to police. For example, 835 rape victims have sought counseling at the Memfrica Sexual Assault Resource Center during 2007. The number is more than double the number of rapes reported to Memfrica Police and the Shelby County Sheriff’s Department this year. Karen Hargrow is the community educator for the Memfrica Sexual Assault Resource Center. She says there are many reasons rape victims stay silent. She says, “There are more unreported rapes than there are reported rapes. They are just afraid a lot of them and they don't want to deal with the stigmatism of, is it my fault, what did I do wrong, what could I have done differently, so for those reasons among many, those victims don’t report.”
If you are a victim of rape,you can call the Memfrica Sexual Assault Resource Center's toll free hotline 24 hours a day. The number is (901) 272-2020. The Memfrica Sexual Assault Resource Center offers counseling and other services to all victims of any kind of sexual assault

Trying to legislate personal feelings has never worked. PERIOD
I'm so ashamed. I'm going outside now to tear up all my watermelon plants. Then I'm going down to my church and demand that all the crosses be removed (who knows when someone will light the thing up). Then I'll throw away all my tire chains.
Next, I'll quit cutting my yard. Later, I'll quit following basic traffic laws, I'll start whipping my dogs to death (now that I know it's a CULTURAL thing), and lastly I'll quit speaking English. Just mumble a lot, end every other phrase with expletives. And say "niggah" a lot to everyone around me, whether they wanted to hear it or not.
The fact is, I'm just too white and I need to get over it.
8:12,
You need to begin parking in handicap parking places also.
Oh ... and make sure your kids are totally unprepared for school ... decorum wise & intellectually ... get them on the free lunch program too!
From the MAAFA site: "The events which transpired five thousand years ago, five years ago or five minutes ago, have determined what will happen five minutes from now, five years from now or five thousand years from now. All history is a current event."
In the eyes of blacks, anything that whites ever did is still a current event. This is what whites do not understand.
The nooses. Jena 6. Lynching that took place centuries ago. I'm so ashamed.
I've cancelled all my cultural events for the near future. I've instructed my family to quit listening to all that "whitey" music, quit practicing those scales, and stop doing that homework! I'm forming a petition drive to demand that the Agricenter never use another banjo in a commercial promoting the obviously segregated fair this year. It's offensive, a blatant reminder of the history that's, well, still current. Also, black people can't stand hearing banjos!! So destroy them all!!!!
I'm also going to repaint my house this weekend, covering all those neutral tones that my other white neighbors use - and go with some more "exciting" and "celebratory" hues, like purple, lavender, bright green. Actually, I'm only going to paint about half of it, then leave the rest for another year or two. That and some old furniture I'll leave around in the yard. The more I think about it, keeping that house of mine looking decent has probably kept blacks from moving into my neighborhood. I'm overwhelmed with despair.
Then I'm going to go out, knock up about a half dozen or so "hoes" (did I get that right? I'm so WHITE!) and then leave them - or anyone else - the task of either raising fatherless children or heading downtown to Planned Parenthood.
Once the Canadian Mist wears off around Sunday afternoon, me and the boyz will cruise Nonconnah at a hundred miles an hour. Then again, pass the Stag. I'm feeling better now.
Here's the deal, 8:22 ... the vast majority of white folks couldn't care less about what "blacks think", about anything.
It's only an issue if you are unfortunate to live in, or near, a metro area that is rapidly deteriorating under the weight of a majority black population. You see, in these decrepit areas, you have them mulling aimlessly all around you.
Just get out, and enjoy life elsewhere. Memphis is no more ... it's morphed into memfrica, and will never again be a good place to live & raise a family.
Leave the memfricans to their low IQ, criminal selves, and move on. It's going to get worse in the future.
Time to "fold em".

Nice try history buff. But the banjo came from Africa and brought over by the slaves. It's part of your heritage. Learn to love it!!
You are so right, Angry Black Man! If I could hold up my fist in the air, I'd say "Right On!" or "You Go!" or "Woop, woop!" or something like that - in solidarity. I'm so disgusted with my whiteness. What business do I have being white in Memphis anyway, right?
Also, I'm sorry about using complete sentences here. It's another one of those horrible white things we get together and do to keep you people down. I'll keep working on it, brother.
"Power to the People!"
"I Can Dig It!"
ya know what i' sayin'?
Watch that correct grammar & spelling!
9:14 AM: You don't understand. Even if the banjo came from Africa, it was hijacked by European decendants who came from the Appalachians. These people wrote and sang songs about tying nooses, raping all the black women and keeping white people in control of all the money, power and the kind of wheel covers you could put on your car. That's why the banjo represents white oppression to all blacks.
Did I say ALL blacks? That's right, all blacks think the same. One big thought out there all the time. That's the part that I'm still trying to understand. I'm too white to get it.
BANJO HAVE TO GO AWAY JUST LIKE THE CUNTRY FAIR NOTHINFG BUT A BUNCH OF FAST ASS WHITEIS RUNNIN IT FINALLY GET THE WHITE ASSHOLDES AWAY FROM THE REEL FAIR AT THE GROUNDS!!!!!!
I saw a banjo in a music store the other day. I'm going over there and demand they remove it. The nerve!
I read somewhere, or saw it in a movie, or heard it from my grandmother, or took a course in college about the history of the banjo in conjunction with lynchings in Tennessee. I know this has to be true because I wouldn't write about it in this blog if it wasn't verifiable. It seems that every time a lynching was about to take place, someone always started playing a banjo in the background somewhere. Like I said, I've seen this somewhere. That's why the banjo is also a symbol of repression. Like it happened only five minutes ago.
If the GPAC was really serious about supporting diversity, they'd never allow another bluegrass band to play there again. Nothing but white hatred in every single note.
9:40,
Doesn't that predict a very poor car break in, and armed robbery season for the Fairgrounds neighborhoods??
Damn, and I thought we were trying to stimulate business and economic development in black areas.
A poor car break in season will devastate the area!
Thad, did I miss something? Are you endorsing Herenton? I thought you wanted him recalled? Whazzup?
DELTA FAIR = WHITEY FAIR!!!!!! AHAHAHAH
It's a shame that folk can't leave INTELLIGENT remarks on this blog post...It is crystal clear to me that even 200+ years on the back side of slavery there is such a clear and evil and ever present RACISM and CLASSISM that undergirds our society...deep rooted stereotypes and overgeneralizations about the black race, deep seated resentment, fear and hatred ...
Despite the despicable comments, this is actually good, because its better that a venomous snake bares its fangs...at least you can identify it and be able to confront (or get the hell away from) it...
Allow me to repeat the comments I shared on the blog message yesterday (with a few amendments):
" Ignorance is not an excuse...
For one thing, perhaps this situation needs to serve as justification for why more African American history needs to be taught in schools. Some caucasians seem to be of the mindset that the GPAC employees should be excused because how were THEY supposed to know that a rope hung in the shape of a noose would be regarded as offensive? Hey, they are young. They are white. They are from South Dakota. BLAH BLAH BLAH...YADDA YADDA YADDA... If history is taught in its ENTIRETY (and by the way, unless you are living in a bubble it is highly improbable that any american has NEVER heard about the the horror of lynching of blacks in america) but for the benefit of the doubt, this shows just how important it is for all people to know AMERICAN history...not just white american history but african american history. Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
Futhermore... the same rationale that says it was improper, offensive and wrong for those GPAC employees to leave nooses is the same rationale that governs why at any given moment, you will get your tail hauled off for questioning and possibly incarceration if you even make the most remote and flippant comments about bombs or explosions or any of that crap while you are at the airport...
Homeland security is not going to sit around and try to decipher motive and intent if you do or say something suspect. You will AUTOMATICALLY be considered a threat to our national security. Why??? Because 9/11 DID HAPPEN. Al Queida and Osama Bin Laden are REAL!!!And guess what? SO DID SLAVERY and the LYNCHINGS of BLACKS in America. Hatemongers and despisers of blacks are REAL!!! SO DID THE HOLOCAUST. Anti-Semitists are REAL!!!None of these events are or were mythological or folklorish.
I don't think that GPAC or anyone else should have to try to figure out what these guys's intentions were when they hung the ropes in the shape of a noose. The bottom line is, it never should have happened, PERIOD. That doesn't change the reality of what occurred. But...I think it is and should be an lesson for all Americans. No one is being oversensitive about anything. But being ignorant(which is questionable) young white dudes doesn't give them the license to do what they want and get off free and clear. That's what the majority of the good white folk want. It's never comfortable to be confronted and held accountable for doing something that is wrong. But that's part of the twisted mentality of much of our society. Some white people think they are superior and above reprimand or reproach. Too bad, so sad...
I bet these guys will think twice before they pull that bullcrap again. Bank on THAT!!! "
According to one set of statistics, lynch mobs in the old Confederate states, including Tennessee, killed 2,805 people, roughly one victim every week.
Now blacks are killing each other roughly one victim every other day in Memphis.
10:08 AM: Bless you! Bless you! I'm overcome in my whiteness this morning, you have shown us the way!
I'm putting my propane grill in the back of my pickup this afternoon - and I'm going to ride through town and set fire to every banjo I can find. Then I'm going over to Lowes and burn all their rope spools. Can't be too careful!
I'm also setting aside a special fund for reparations today. I'm basing this on the equity I'm still thinking I might get out of my east Memphis house. Not sure how much value is left in the city limits anymore, maybe you can get a bucket of chicken with it.
OH WAIT!!! I've got to get rid of that Colonel!!!
10:08,
Why are blacks at the absolute bottom of every, yes I said EVERY, ranking of intellectual performance known to mankind?
Happens everywhere, in any type of testing.
Please shed some light on this for us.
BTW, you can also expain the gross over representation of blacks in violent crime & STD statistics ... everywhere, all the time.
We're all >EARS< ...
Speaking of Idiots
Is your crackwhore Gwendolyn out of jail? You said she was going to be out.
Is it better that white people lynch blacks than for blacks to kill one another?
After reading the hatred of black people on this blog as a black man it time for me to put more distance between me and the white folks.
Excellent idea 10:41!
Maybe, you won't try to follow the whites exiting from memfrica, this time.
You do understand why they are leaving, I hope.
OK, but be careful if you are hanging around 'yo brothers'. You might get shot!
ahahahah u honkies are low class filth that raped every thing that crawled flew ,walked and he says fuck you ni, blah, blah,....

10:41, please don't misunderstand the sincerity of anything that's been posted earlier. It's just that I've only recently understood the painfulness of my whiteness, that so many things I take for granted can be misconstrued as hate speech. By the very fact that I'm white and speaking at all is symbolic enough of my hate-filled nature. Based on this assumption, there's nothing too ridiculous or silly that I can do to demonstrate my intention to engage in sensitivity to your cause. That's why I'm wearing my Herenton T-Shirt right now - trying to "shake them haters off" as fast as I can! So, "whoop, day it is!" or something like that.
That said, keep a look out (from a distance) for my big, red pickup this weekend, the one with the smoker in the back burning up all those hate-laced banjos. While I'm riding around, could you recommend any radio stations I should listen to with the intention of gaining more insight into what else I may be saying, doing, or looking wrong? The fact is, I'm just too white and I need to get over it.
Is it better that white people lynch blacks than for blacks to kill one another?

To Anonymous 10:32:
And your point is, what??
And to all of the other "trying-to- be-slick" talking caucasians who by virtue of their SNIDE and sarcastic comments are discounting the valid issues and concerns raised by blacks and other minortiy races when they are held acountable...
There are deficiencies in EVERY race of people, even among your own, and mabye even more so, because you as a PEOPLE continue to propagate wrongdoing in the name of right or in the name of greed and vain progress... it is the ultimate and most vile and corrupt form of narcissism...by systematically destroying others in order to build up yourselves...
Talking about underclass...I am a very intelligent african american citizen ( I know you can tell that by my exceptional use of grammar and wordsmithing capabilites). I am not one IOTA behind any white person, and I am proud of my heritage. I am balanced in my thinking and ability to reason enough to know that the actions of some is not indicative of the whole. Therefore, I don't despise all white people or lump them in one category. Neither do I with my african american brothers and sisters. I deal with folk on an individual basis. Because, guess what? There's nothing new under the sun. The things that have been are the things that shall be. So, I am not going to get caught up in conversations that lack substance and meaning and are not going to edify me or build others up. Some of the bull that is coming out of folk's mouths is not even worth entertaining, because it is empty and shallow, just like the minds and lives of the people who speak those things.
I prefer to live my life abundantly, surrounded by family and friends and people who are concerned about my welfare and goodwill. I certainly try to portray that to those that I associate with.
Wow, people really have deep hatred of each other in this city! It sounds like a bad marriage to me. Hey why don't whites and blacks just get a divorce and call it quits since yall hate each each so much?
I am a native Memphian of 53 years. I have spent most of my life here with the exception of 3 years living in the desert in Cali.
My views were pretty much the view of a person who lived in a city with two major groups, black and white.
From what I was taught, "Never trust a white person" and "A nigga aint shit" created a distrust for everyone I met. I went to NYC a few years ago and while walking in a park a heard a group of white boys say, "What's up my nigga?"
Thinking they were talking to me I pulled out my rather large pocket knife waiting on some shit to go down, but as I looked around they were hugging each other and lo and behold if there were not some young men of color in the group also.
I later me up with a friend from NYC who is a school teacher who happens to be white and Puerto Rican, but he looks white. His grand mother is black.
He lived in Memphis for a while and most people thought he was white. I met him here. He would tell me about what white people really said and thought about black people in Memphis.
He too was surprised about the polarization of the races and how deep it was. He thought both races were stuck on stupid.
My point is while in NYC I realized that most people in the world don't divide themselves into categories based on color. They group themselves based on who they are connected to for various reasons, but color is the least of them.
The people of Memphis then must really be "Back Water" as has been implied.
WMM,
You've convinced me!
I need to get over being white too.
Some things I can get to work on immediately, like not showing up for work, not parking in handicap places, throwing out any evidence of educational credentials, leaving my garbage containers in the street all week, keeping a few cars parked in the street at all times, being extremely loud at all times, purchasing several nasty pit bulls and letting them run loose around the "hood", etc ...
Those I can get in process right now ... also, a Herenton sign in my yard.
Others will take a bit of time ... ruining my credit rating, letting my lawn and landscaping grow till it become an eyesore in my "hood", allowing the paint on my house to age. I'll also have to start acquiring a record of arrests. I can get the kids on this too ... telling them "anything goes" at school, letting them run wild, all hours in my hood.
Why ... it will relieve all stress and responsibility from my "tight ass" existence. I'll be just like a ...., no, I will be a ......
11:17 AM You're emphatic that you deal with people on an individual basis. Good for you. This is not what happened, however, to the GPAC 3. It's been very clear since the beginning that these people had no intention of making racist statements. They were fired and have had their reputations damaged because someone else could only see "hostile environments" around them, not an individual event with no racial overtones. The reaction over the disproportionate response from the Germantown officials has, to say the least, been pretty tame - and focused on the individuals and the perceived infraction. There haven't been, for instance, busloads of white supremicists from South Dakota showing up and demanding for justice, right?
Spare us the lecture about how intelligent you are. That's hardly the matter at hand. Look, we all have some pride and disgust with issues in our heritages, either distant or recent. That is not what this issue is about. It is instead about the unnecessary firings of bright young people who've taken the fall for leadership without the spine to do their jobs. This whole incident should never have risen to this level. It's well past time that people quit taking the PC poundings on the chin from officials like these in Germantown. Shame on them.
Whew! What a day, have my eyes ever been opened! Well, I have to leave, got to go to work and propagate wrongdoing in the name of right, greed and vain progress while systematically destroying others in order to build myself up. It's a horrible burden that White Male Memphians bear, I'll bring it up for discussion at the meeting tonight. Until then,
Three misfits in Germantown form a rope into a noose and Thud gets his nose out of joint.

To embrace blackness often means a deep hostility to interracial dating. Interracial couples often report more open hostility from blacks than whites. It is not surprising, therefore, that Interrace magazine, which was published for mixed-race couples, found in a reader poll that heavily-black Detroit was the major US city least receptive to black-white couples. Atlanta was most receptive, but mixed couples generally found the whitest cities the most welcoming.
Many mixed-race people have reported that when they were growing up, black children were more cruel than white children. One woman recalls blacks calling her “half-white bitch” or “half-white monkey.” Another says children called her “honky nigger.”
Some white men react harshly when they see “their” women with black men, but blacks are now probably more likely than whites to resort to violence against a mixed couple. Rashard Casey was the star quarterback of the Penn State football team. In 2000, he and another black visited a Hoboken, New Jersey, nightclub and were angry to find a black woman with a white man. “What are you doing with him?” they asked. “You should be with us; you’re one of us.” When the white man, Patrick Fitzsimmons, left the bar, the two blacks knocked him down and nearly kicked him to death. Mr. Fitzsimmons had what could almost be called professional reasons for escorting a black lady. He was a tolerance training instructor for the Hoboken Police Department.
Have no heard a whisper about Deauntie or Gwen in weeks.
Amiri Baraka, originally known as LeRoi Jones, is one of America’s most famous and well-regarded black poets. His work is brimming with anti-white animus as in these lines from “Black Dada Nihilismus:”
Come up, black dada nihilismus.
Rape the white girls.
Rape their fathers.
Cut the mothers’ throats.
In “Leroy” he wrote: “When I die, the consciousness I carry I will to black people. May they pick me apart and take the useful parts, the sweet meat of my feelings. And leave the bitter bullshit rotten white parts alone.” In July, 2002, Mr. Baraka was appointed poet laureate of New Jersey.
Casual observations by blacks reveal attitudes whites may not suspect. On March 10, 2003, two policemen died in a shootout at the Stapleton Houses in New York City. Almost everyone who lives in the housing project is black. Grace Watkins, an 18-year-old resident, explained that when people learned about the killings they said they thought the policemen got what they deserved. “I think a lot of people out here weren’t worried about [the shootings] because they thought they were white cops, but when they heard the cops were black, their attitude changed totally,” she said. “And they started expressing concern for the police officers’ families.”
RACIST PIGS!
Although the common assumption about American race relations is that whites, not blacks, nurse racial hostilities that often erupt in violence, racially-motivated murder of whites by blacks is considerably more common. Murders like that of James Byrd, dragged to death by whites in 1998, are well reported, but racial murder by blacks is little publicized.
For example, in Wilkinsburg, near Philadelphia, 39-year-old Ronald Taylor killed three men and wounded two others in a 2000 rampage, in which he targeted only whites. At one point, he pushed a black woman out of his way, saying “Not you, sister,” and was heard to say, “I’m not going to hurt any black people. I’m just out to kill all white people.” At one point, he also aimed a gun at a white woman’s head, uttered what news reports called “a racial epithet,” and then said, “No, I think I’ll terrorize you for a while.” Fortunately, he did not shoot her.
Police found anti-white diatribes in his apartment, but were careful to play down any possible racial motive. As the town’s police chief explained, “There’s a lot of anger and hostility in this individual, so I think it’s a little premature to simply define this as a racist event.”
Obie Weathers ran amok in San Antonio, Texas. He attacked but did not manage to kill two elderly white men. Later he found 82-year-old Norma Petrash in her home and beat her to death. All three whites—attacked within 24 hours—lived within a six-block radius, but the killer does not appear to have known them. One detective said Mr. Weathers told him, “I hate all white people.”
Also in 2000, a black man named Gregory Devon Murphy walked into a quiet, residential neighborhood in Alexandria, Virginia, and casually slit the throat of an eight-year-old white boy playing in his front yard. When police searched the man’s belongings they found a note that said “Kill them raceess whiate kidd’s anyway.” Mr. Murphy had already served time for attacking a white man without provocation, calling him “whitey,” and beating him with a hammer.
In 2005, Philip Grant, who is black, stabbed Concetta Russo-Carriero to death in a shopping mall parking lot in White Plains, New York. In a video-taped confession, he explained why he murdered her: “I never saw her before, and I didn’t care. All I knew was she had blond hair and blue eyes and she had to die. If I’d have had a gun [that day], there’d be a lot dead white people on the streets of White Plains.” He added: “I was thinking that the first person I see this morning that looks white, I’m killing them. I have no remorse whatsoever because she was white.” A jury convicted him of murder.
It is safe to assume that if the races had been reversed in these cases—if whites had murdered blacks for racial reasons—there would have been considerably more news coverage.
Journalist Nathan McCall remembered an episode from his early years:
“The fellas and I were hanging out on our corner one afternoon when the strangest thing happened. A white boy … came pedaling a bicycle casually through the neighborhood…. Somebody spotted him and pointed him out to the rest of us. ‘Look! What’s that mother-fucka doin’ ridin’ through here?! Is he crraaaazy?!’… We caught him on Cavalier Boulevard and knocked him off the bike…. Ignoring the passing cars, we stomped him and kicked him. My stick partners kicked him in the head and face and watched the blood gush from his mouth. I kicked him in the stomach and nuts, where I knew it would hurt. Every time I drove my foot into his balls, I felt better…. one dude kept stomping, like he’d gone berserk…. When he finished, he reached down and picked up the white dude’s bike, lifted it as high as he could above his head, and slammed it down on him hard…. We walked away, laughing, boasting, competing for bragging rights about who’d done the most damage.”
The Bottom Line:
Blacks hate whites and orientals because whites and orientals are much more intelligent than they. It all comes down to jealousy and a uncontrollable, pre puberty emotional structure.
Intelligence is the primary ingredient for success in the 21st century.
Blacks see early in their school years they aren't playing with a full tool box of mental skills and become frustrated and angry. They see whites and orientals easily achieving high grades on the same subject matter the have difficulty comprehending.
Sorry folks, this situation has hit critical mass. No more "feel good" dumbing down of the educational, and testing, systems. Affirmative action has not worked, and is destined to fall by the wayside. It has had the effect of impacting our ability to compete in the world marketplace ... and, is now a serious matter.
You will see much more emphasis on science and math excellence ... and, much less on "feel good" affirmative action.
Time to sink, or swim ... no waterwings allowed.
Have a greaaaaaaat day!
The quality of some Black -- and White -- posts on this forum -- spelling, punctuation, diction, phrasing -- tells a vivid and unmistakeable tale of ignorance, hate, and racism, both Black and White.
There are many, many decent middle-class Blacks out there. They should be considered White. Their role in the economy and the society is that of middle-class Whites.
And redneck White trash should be thrown in with ghetto scum Blacks.

In the September 18, 1858 debate, Abraham Lincoln said:
I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races - that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And in as much as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race.[12]
"In the September 18, 1858 debate, Abraham Lincoln said"
KEY in this sentence is the date.
September 18, 1858 - America then.

T'aint the same. Some wish it were. Some think it is. It is now history.
Pointless conversation, the issue at hand is still the GPAC 3. If you're black and you want to vent, express your frustration about the incredibly thin-skinned individual who practically had to go out of their way to find something to complain about. Don't be suprised if you find a history of this behavior before. All this individual did for you was make it harder to work together, lowered the ceiling in some cases, probably removed from consideration some very capable black candidates for future work with the government. If you're white, your biggest worry isn't statistics about who did what, it's about spineless white leadership that cowers every time anyone says anything that remotely brings up "race." And then over-reacting to it. Did the GPAC 3 even get a chance to resign? Were they even given the chance to a re-assignment, or "sensitivity" training (whatever that would look like in Germantown)? Were the GPAC 3 ever given the opportunity to present facts to anyone? It's obvious that these guys were made to take the fall for the weak leaders in Germantown who've done a poor job of collecting their thoughts and resources toward simply answering and dealing with claims of racism. I've read some saying that they hope the GPAC 3 will sue the city, but don't hold your breath. They probably got some sort of quiet settlement in return for silence.
In which case the result is an unimaginable lack of trust in elected and appointed leaders that are powerless to render common sense during times of honest debate (that could have, by the way, been led to something more positive under better leadership). All Germantown's given whites and the rest of the citizens in Shelby County is another excuse to head toward Desoto or Fayette or wherever.
As I said before, we all have some pride and disgust with issues in our heritages, either distant or recent. That is not what this issue is about. It is instead about the unnecessary firings of bright young people who've taken the fall for leadership without the spine to do their jobs. There are a hundred ways this could've been done better.
The real irony is that this whole affair took place in a performance venue, while little or no creativity or imagination was present with anyone involved.
You're correct ... but, that was Ole Abe's thinking on the subject.
Was he wrong?
Don't fret 2:37,
These sad days are coming to an end.
You're correct in your assessment of spineless kowtowing to any, and all, complaints by "offended" blacks.
The exodus is not only from Memphis, but all of Shelby County ... including the other incorporated municipalities. Decent, hardworking people just don't want to be in the middle of all this crap. ...
... Besides, it's becoming increasingly difficult to get a good public education for your kids anymore. Look at Germantown ... over half the students are low IQ, troublemaking memfricans bused in from southeast Shelby County.
The exodus stats don't lie. The "cream of the crop" of the demographics are exiting ... and, for good reason!
Soon, Germantown, Collierville, Bartlett, Millington, Lakeland & Arlington will be captive islands, completely & contiguously surrounded by memfrica. Will they have to build walls, or install electric fences???
Talk about isolation ... and the inability to obtain a good education, eh???
I just thought of something interesting ... What do you suppose will happen to the Shelby County schools when memfrica has annexed all of the remaing unincorporated areas???
Interesting concept, huh???

Don't shake your genealogy tree because you may very well be calling one of your relatives the N word. In fact I can truly say that many African Americans have white ancestors, and vice versa. How many in your family have passed for white?
Nice try, 3:12.
That's a new ploy. hahahaha
Kinda like the proverbial "n-word in the woodpile", eh?
I've had several friends in Germantown in the last few days say this is it for them. No trust in local leaders who'd do something as dumb as this. Look out Covington.
If they are rich enough they will walk away from their homes and there goes property values. Nothing is seilling anyway in 38139. Watch everything north of Poplar turn into Hickory Hill. Everywhere in Shelby County its another Winchester. Ecept with pretty signs.
"Respect is a two way so why are the airwaves filled with white supremacist drunks like glen beck. junkies like rush limbaugh, and draft dodgers like sean hannitty?"
Get over it, these are not race baiters or white supremacist. You just call people that as a method of putting down those who disagree with you.
Those you named are not vulgar like the liberals on air America which comes to Memphis, I think.
"Tennessee, killed 2,805 people, roughly one victim every week, between 1882 and 1930."
- - - - -
lynchings, that is, according to the poster.
That's all most a third the number of murders we have in Memphis every week now. In Memphis, there are about 618,000 people and shrinking every week. I wonder how this compares to the entire state in the census of 1890.
I wonder what comments will be made about the nature of all the murders, drive by shootings, night club parking lot killings, etc. in 2107.
"In the eyes of blacks, anything that whites ever did is still a current event. This is what whites do not understand."
Maybe some time should be spent on thinking about tomorrow.
This is one of the best posts that I have witnessed on this blog. It is most real and harsh it is not. Give it a read. It gets to the heart of what Thaddeus is all about.

Thaddeus started this site taking on the establishment when they were doing wrong and I give him a lot of credit for that, I really do. When Thaddeus started to take ads his sharp edge started to change as well. With billboards, fliers and newspaper ads WE KNOW they are ads, pure and simple. What Thaddeus is doing is infomercials which are a totally different creature. Now I know Thaddeus has to make a living. this man is giving his life to running this site. Where he made his mistake and still is making a mistake is that he did a 180 on Mayor Herenton without fully spelling out to his loyal viewers ther reason for such a dramatic change, and if you have been following this site for any time you know this was a major shift. When his viewers started calling him on this he grabbed on to this Gwendolyn Smith soap opera and went on a racial vent. Are there some narrow minded, racist idiots posting on this site, sure there are and may God help them, but for Thaddeus to switch so quickly on Herenton and then to start taking money from him, well obviously this would cause some to question his integrity. He should have never taken money from Herenton, never.
Now the reason you three are getting flamed is that you were so naive to have jumped right in the middle of this crap. Any candidate with an ounce of common sense would have known to stay clear of this site while all this was going on. As voters one of the things we evaluate is good judgment from the candidates. Ms. Castillo started by not only placing an ad on this site but actually posting live with Thaddeus' bloggers and she was creamed. They found a crack in her armor, bogus degrees, and ripped into it. Instead of acknowledging the truth she tried to go toe-to-toe with them. Bad mistake, it showed her to be thin skinned and untruthful. Seeing this most candidates would have stayed clear of this blog but here comes Mr. Catchings buying an ad on this site which opened up attacks on his advanced age, and to be honest he is old. Now we have Ford, Jr. I listened to his "paid" time on Thaddeus radio. you would think with the softball format Ford could have come up with a few respectable answers. The "interview" showed him to be a weak, inexperienced, unqualified candidate. I'm just being honest, if you three can't figure out the politics of a simple blog site how the heck can you manage the politics of a major city like Memphis? I'm sorry but you three deserve to loose. We need smarter City Council members and you three don't fit the bill. Don't think I'm forgetting Flinn or Herenton but these two guys are used to flying close to the fire. It doesn't mean they are smarter, just faster.
I hope in time thaddeus will find a way to make this site pay him and at the same time not compromise the cutting frankness that has drawn so many to this blog."

there's a poster that appears repeatedly calling whites inbred diesel smelling honkies. the use of the inbred i can understand because this person obviously sees this trait by looking in the mirror daily, but please explain the use of diesel smelling honkies. is this supposed to be a slur on white truck drivers, diesel car drivers or what? i know lots of blacks drive trucks and diesel cars.
see you honkies have a unique odor.diesel is your natural smell,wet dogs are your natural smell,oily hair which i can use also makes you honkies smell.your evolutionary traits make you smell the way you do.plain and simple you honkies stank.even when you bathe and splash on your brut or old spice you still smell of diesel.a black man can wreak of disel all day long but when he gets away from the diesel smell its gone ,but you honkies it's in your skin.i hope u understand now u diesel smelling inbred..
Hey Thaddy..... Just who ran Kingpin out of LA? The Sherrif of Hollywood? You say they ran him out of Hollywood for being a freak??? They only run people out of Hollywood for not being a freak!!! Where do you invent your info from Thaddy? That's the shit that gets you put off the air because you say whatever you want without getting your facts straight. That;s why all you've got is this sorry ass blog to show for yourlife. where's your book(s) Thaddy?
Thaddy, Thorne tore you a new one when you tried to take him on. Anyone listening heard you go down in flames without getting off a shot. Kingpin called you out for your lies on this racist propaganda blog and you had no defense and you didn't have the integrity to tell the truth about your lies so you started calling him names like an angry little boy caught in a lie.
How can you have posted a photograph of a black man and tell everyone he was the John Hanson that was the first president? The camera was invented until 50 years after the first president whose name was John Hanson. The only person dumber than you is anyone who stands behind you.
Kingpin posts all his shows in his guestbook. Here's the show you're talking about. What can you disagree with? And that doesn't mean to start name calling like that asshole Perry steel did when he called in on this show. That's just ignorant!!
Ah Memphis . . . today I share my White Atheist, Yankee Jew perspective of the Bluff City . . . a.k.a. Memphrica . . . the C.O.G.I.C. carjacking capitol of America . . . where the Bible Belt has a loaded nine tucked in it. I moved here from Los Angeles might nigh ten years now, living in my palatial parlor in the projects next door to Graceland Mansion . . . not only because I’m an ELVIS fan club president, but it’s the only place I could find low rent housing next door to a mansion in America. Nowadays people laughingly refer to the area as “Blackhaven”, but it’s no joke . . . it’s also known to my trendy friends in the suburbs as “da’ hood”.
There are all kinds of code names for the Black parts of town . . . Hickory Hill is called: “Hickory Hood” and Hollywood is: “Hollyhood”. As a White newcomer I was indoctrinated as to which parts of town were asphalt jungles and by a strange coincidence they were all Black neighborhoods . . . nobody warned me about Collierville or Southaven or Bartlett . . . unfortunately my neighborhood is on their warning list. The old-timers all tell me that these mean streets used to be beautiful neighborhoods that were safe havens; you could walk the streets after sundown and leave your door open all night and keep your bikes in the yard . . . then they lower their voice to tell me that it was like that before Blacks moved in . . . only they don’t say Blacks . . . they use that other word . . . here’s a hint; it starts with an N.
While researching the area for my book AROUND ELVIS, I was amused to discover that Whitehaven was once known as “The Beverly Hills of Memphis.” . . . that was before it was annexed and integrated by the city of Memphis in 1971 . . . now it is known as part of “The Most Dangerous Metropolitan Area in America”. So rather than becoming Germantown---which wisely incorporated and saved itself from being overrun by the, shall we say, “Urbanites”---Whitehaven was left with its flank exposed. As one Whitehaven resident told me: “When the Whitehaven Water & Power Company became a police station, I knew our way of life was gone with the wind.” Before the community of Whitehaven was annexed, there was only one patrol car servicing the area---good old Car 56. They knocked off patrol at midnight, because everyone was in bed by then. Even though roughly the same number of people live there now, we have a whole division that stays on the move 24-7 just to be one step behind the crime wave. If ELVIS had lived he’d have gone back to Mississippi and there’d be another mostly empty strip mall where Graceland is. Even the apartment building that I live in was once the grounds of a mansion called: “The Flying Hot Dog Ranch.”
Memphis is not unique in this regard . . . in every major and minor city the encroachment of Blacks decimates peaceful White neighborhoods in a few years. As General Robert E. Lee noted, everywhere Blacks live goes down; whereas everywhere Whites live prosperity and peace grows . . . then he wondered how Whites and Blacks could ever possibly coexist when our standards were so radically different . . . of course the gap is even greater now than it was then, as Black constituencies go to the mat to protect their people from being educated by the White man or taught the skills that will help them get jobs in the White world or drilled to speak intelligibly so that they can be understood by the White world, which is also known as “Corporate America”.
It is time to face the fact that the slums are not a geographical phenomena or a development of sociology . . . the slums are a place where those without pride fail to take responsibility for their upkeep; where they live without respect for their neighbors; where they roll through the hood with their filthy Rap music blaring at earsplitting levels; where they hang out on the front stoop drinking booze and talking nasty to women that pass by; where they deface private and public property with spray paint; where they throw their garbage out the window; where domestic violence settles drunken drugged out disputes; where your drug of choice is for sale on the corner . . . where life is as cheap as an expensive pair of sneakers.
It’s en vogue these days to blame the influx of Hurricane Katrina refugees for the spike in vicious crime in Memphis . . . another blatant copout and failure to address the problem because of the clear racial demographics associated with the unbelievable violent crime rate in this unfair city . . . blame it on the hedonistic voodoo people . . . of course they’re also Black, so my point remains the same . . . Don’t cry “stereotyping” to me until you can show me one place on the face of the earth, let alone America, especially Memphis, where thousands of Black people live that is not a crime infested ghetto or a war torn nation of anarchy or just a dilapidated city feeding on its innards to survive, because it hasn’t the facility or the imagination or the civic pride to refurbish and renovate and thereby expand.
But let’s go back to that pre-Katrina year of 2004 and take a look at the crime stats of Memphis, a city that is made up of 66% of people who are somewhat Black and 90-plus percent Christian of some sort or another. This is how Memphis stacked up versus the nation . . . Memphis was number one for carjacking. For every one hundred thousand people, the national rate for car thefts was 526; in Memphis the rate was 1223 per every one hundred thousand people . . . and for those of you keeping score, multiply all these numbers by 6 and a half for your total tally, because there are 650,000 people here. Burglaries were 883 nationally; Memphis came in at 2335 . . . staggering! Aggravated Assaults . . . America 340; Memphis 1123. Robberies . . . the country 195; Memphis 657. Rapes . . . nationally 35; Memphis 60 . . . there were 400 reported rapes and the belief is that there could be half that many more that go unreported, because of White women afraid to come forward and admit they’ve been sexually mauled by a Black man. Murder . . . 6 out of a hundred thousand for America; 21 out of a hundred thousand for Memphis, which was second only to St. Louis; there were 137 confirmed kills in 2004 and perhaps as many as 40 more . . . people reported missing but no body has yet been found . . . so retroactively this number could increase and Memphis could yet take sole possession as the murder capitol for that year.
The violent crime index in Memphis was three times higher than the national average and Memphis was the only city in our nation to finish Top Five in every despicable category . . . disgraceful. All of this added up made Memphis “The Most Dangerous Metropolitan Area in America” . . . and it has only gone down the drain from there, as we are on our way to setting a new high for lowdown behavior. Simple math tells me that these Black Christians are sure committing a lot of crime in these parts . . . I know Julio’s doing some of that stuff, but c’mon. It sho’nuff ain’t the Jews in Germantown or the Asians in Midtown or even them Wiggers out in Frayser. This is y’alls world and we just be living in it, so handle yo’ binness!
But I get really disheartened when I listen to the preening elected officials charged with bringing direction to this spiraling city of societal chaos and intellectual indifference. You may recall that during one of my sapient on-air oratories concerning the racial problems faced and created by Black people, I received a call from Perry Steel, a Memphrican-American wannabe politician, who offered this insightful rebuttal to my point of view . . . (Play the “Screw you, Whiteboy!” clip from Perry Steel.) Sadly, he is atypical of the cavalcade of stuttering, inarticulate buffoons that seek or hold office here in Mule Town.
We all know politicians are crooks by definition---who else spends 10 million dollars to get a 100 grand a year job---but these characters take the cake . . . I mean they literally take the cake, eat it all, and leave us to starve. White politicians at least initiate programs that benefit their city or state and country and then illegally skim off the top . . . The Jimmy Hoffa way. Hoffa improved life for the Teamsters appreciably, so the workers never cared what his take was. But these charlatans don’t have enough brains to institute successful programs they can bilk, so they just outright boldfaced rip off the down payment then shrug their shoulders when asked about the money . . . when questioned too intensely, they naturally declare that they are being targeted and harassed because they’re Black.
When I listened to Mayor Herenton talking about the missing quarter million bucks earmarked for the Memphis City schools, he sounded like a kid playing the “dog ate my homework” card. The school board has arguments that dissolve into pencil throwing affairs . . . no wonder the Memphis school district is in the Top 5 worst school districts in America when you add up the violence and the illiteracy and factor in the teachers who have among the poorest scores and the least education for big city teachers in America. There’s not a lot to attract a highly educated, dare I say “White”, teacher to come teach in our Blackboard Jungle . . . particularly for the pay and the ongoing threat to their lives from students unhappy with the failing grades they’ve earned.
The public schools are absolutely under funded, because the White families mostly put their kids in private schools---many that use religious denomination to racially discriminate. It is clear that no law of the land will ever force White families to allow their children to have to share a school with Black children unless they are destitute and cannot afford a private school education. It’s not even for the superior education they receive; it is for the extra safety it provides, so that their kids don’t get caught in the crossfire of a doo rag war; or have to pay out protection money to one gang or another so they’re not beaten on a daily basis . . . the school campuses around here are run like a village in Monrovia.
The affluent schools in beautiful neighborhoods that were handed over to Blacks thirty years ago are practically juvenile detention centers in shooting galleries; where high school football games have final scores and death tolls . . . Hillcrest, Whitehaven, Craigmont . . . go on and pray for the White kids left behind in those schools; they either grow up as victims or Wiggers . . . which is kind of the same thing.
And oh my God these Memphis women . . . #%&*! I can remember weighing the pros and cons as I came here from L.A. and one of the real plusses was leaving behind the ladies of LaLa land, who had gone grunge and tainted the babe supply with tattoos and bizarre piercing and parakeet hair coloring. I couldn’t wait to experience the sultry Southern ladies that I believed would not be ghetto biyatches . . . . after all this is still the South, so I figured these girls wouldn’t be running around with Black guys. (LOL) For those of you who have been to my website, you know that my distaste for White women that have been with Black men, has nothing to do with my endowment or prowess . . . they don’t call me “The Kingpin” because I bowl, baby . . . I just can’t take the mannerisms of White girls who have gone Black . . . the way they be talkin’ and expressing theirselves with Ebonics . . . always talkin’ about they baby daddy or kicking someone’s ass or being F’ed up on drugs . . . women who refer to their precious genitals as the “S” word. If they’ve been with a Black guy, there are used to being in an aggressive, often-violent relationship and so they’ve got a vulgar combative manner of expressing themselves that is a complete turn off. It is 100 times worse when a White girl be talkin’ all that drag, because it’s bullshit for one and ignorant for 99. These women around here tag their bodies like walls in gang neighborhoods. I’ll tell you this without fear of contradiction . . . Memphis girls are by and large far and away the most reprehensible group of women ever assembled in one place at one time since Eve ate the apple . . .
So bereft is the femme pool in this town, that I, the mighty Kingpin, recently restored to the throne after many years of self imposed exile, actually tripped over my scepter and momentarily fell in love with a woman who was and is without doubt the most annoying female I’ve ever endured listening to for five minutes . . . but I fell for her primarily just because she had no tattoos and no Black attitudes . . . plus one other feature that regards a sexual grooming preference. Yes, well you know, I’m talking about the woman who is known to us here eternally as “The Unequally Yoke Chick.” These bare minimum qualities in a female suddenly seemed like the max because of the dearth of femininity among these broads . . . thankfully, we do have the tourists here from ELVIS world, so my reign begins again. After time spent, shall we say confabbing with the international fandom of sexy, well mannered, sophisticated, well read women that come to town, it is a burden to then have to interface with these Memphis belles.
The worst part of this story is that all of this is destined to get even worse around here in the coming years . . . even in the coming months. Since 2000, 35,000 Whites have abandoned Memphis, while 22,000 Blacks and 4,000 Hispanics have taken their place leaving the economy around 10,000 people lighter as well as economically lower on the food chain . . . soon Memphis will not have a solid middle class. Look at all the stores and shops and companies that close. I have to drive to the other side of town to find services, like Kinko’s or a Hallmark; I have to go over the border into Mississippi for haircuts and clothes.
But, as ever, our cross to bear comes from God and His self styled Christian representatives; these politicos fear alienating their Christian support, so they take religiously moral public stances that barely hide their hypocrisy . . . this is where the lack of strong leadership is most divinely revealed. Rather than standing up to the onslaught of Christians and upholding the Constitutional rights of citizens to act as consenting adults, this town fights a moronic rear guard morals war against consensual behavior in the name of God Almighty . . . Jesus Christ! I mean think of this; we have schools so overcrowded that kids can’t sit down; they don’t have nearly enough books, but rather than pouring funds into the system to bail it out, these yoyos are spending a fortune on a 2 year probe into the strip club industry . . . they’ve employed investigators from other states as well as deployed Memphis police officers to troll the strip clubs to fight the crotch by crotch war against lap dancing in the name of God. Their in depth analysis revealed that Memphis has the raunchiest strip clubs in America . . . finally something we can be proud of.
Regardless of your point of view about shake joints, do you really think it’s more important for police to be in strip clubs or out here on the streets of da hoods? Herenton keeps calling for more funds for more police. If the Moron Majority would learn to leave people alone, there’d be plenty of police . . . if they weren’t all out at strip clubs or setting up stings to bust hookers and johns, or dope smokers. But since these activities offend the contrived morality of these alleged Christians, two-thirds of all police resources---money and manpower—is devoted to vice crime . . . not thwarting carjackers or infiltrating the growing gang population; not safeguarding us after sundown against the creatures of the night lurking and slithering about the streets . . . Noooo . . . their sworn duty is to keep us from choosing to get high without a prescription and laid for a price.
This is the same idiocy that drove the casinos out of Memphis and into Tunica. Now Mississippi has all this disposable cash that they can’t begin to spend . . . money mostly from Memphians. In old Miss, they’re paving and blacktopping roads and building parks and schools and here we have roads that are on par with a Third World country and schools that have black mold seeping out of the walls endangering the lives of children. But the C.O.G.I.C/Baptist regime ran the money out of town . . . churches do better when folks are down and out and in need of God. They’re still angry at the evil White Jew, Steve Cohen for bringing the lottery to town, which rakes in millions for this hard scrabble city. If not for the hundreds of thousands of tourists coming to Graceland to see the home of ELVIS and the lottery, this town would be an industrial wasteland that would be uninhabitable . . . which will be the end result around here anyway if we don’t elect some credible candidates; ones who realize that church and state must be kept separate for the good of the community . . . in the name of democracy. Look, if I want to take my hard earned tax dollars to the casino or the shake joint or blow it on a hooker, you only have the right to mind your goddamned business. Oh you can snivel and cast aspersions on me in the name of your mythical higher power, but you do not have the right to attack me with a law that denies my freedom of choice to choose my activities with consenters.
What’s strange, is the strip clubs and the casinos are filled with Black and White Christians from Memphis . . . so who the hell are these hypocrites that vote all this income down the river? Probably the same nitwits that demand liquor stores close on Sunday . . . probably because there’s a liquor store next door to every church. Just think of this, in Memphis more money is spent in the strip clubs or at the casinos on a Saturday night than is spent in church on Sunday morning . . . of course the strip clubs and casinos are open every day so the money is seven times greater in each venue. This city needs to abandon the moralistic policies that are Un American and unprofitable now for its very survival . . . Memphis is goin’ places all right . . . to hell in a handbasket.
Are Niggers really talking about how honkies smell? Now I've read everything. You may smell better than we do but we'll never find out unless you hit the showers and wash your ass. You can't spray enough of your musk over your dirty clothes not to smell like a locker rooom hamper. You are the shit colored people and you need to be flushed. You're a race of asshole babies. If you leave a blob of shit out long enough it grows an afro...That's real talk! It also gets that same chalky coating like Niggers get on their skin. Looks like shit, smells like shit---must be shit.
Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, making people healthy and happy.
Hatred only leads to destruction because if you remove the letter R, it can spell death.
The hatred in the hearts of these lynchers is the same hatred in the hearts of people who are too proud to admit they more in common that is good than not.
African Americans will forever remember the act of violence against their ancestors because they were and are so horrific. Who in their right minds would ask them to do otherwise. Forgiveness is an individual decision.
Think.
Become intelligently futuristic and we may just save our communities.
