Threatening racism near Jena, Louisiana? Who would have ever expected that?

I said it wasn't surprising that there were threatening racists around Jena. Given what started this whole thing it indeed IS NOT SURPRISING because people in Jena DID EXACTLY THAT - and are continuing to do it.

So you're grouping together a city of about 3,000 people, casting aspersions by suggesting, "What else should we expect from those kind of people?" You're obviously extending this in a profiling manner because nowhere does the cited article suggest these are the same actual people from the original incident. How are you not making a generalized prejudicial implication about a certain group of people based on their geographical orientation?
No sweat, though, I'm just messing with you, using the liberal tools against you. This is what my people have to put up with.
Posted by: Morris at September 22, 2007 02:13 PM | PERMALINKYou're really making me wonder what post it is that you think you are reading. Where exactly did I say all people in Jena are racists? It's not in my post. And it's not in my comment. Am I saying some are racists? You betcha, as they themselves have demonstrated by these noose incidents. But nowhere have I stated that everyone in Central Louisiana is a racist. I don't get your point at all.
