Thats what I meant by saying per person. A higher percentage of white people out of white people died than black people out of black people... Sorry if that was unclear.
I was quoting some popular, but paranoid, beliefs that some blacks have.
For example, Nobel Prize winner, Wangari Maathai (the first Africa woman to win the prize), claimed the HIV virus was created by scientists as a biological weapon meant for "mass extermination."
"Us black people are dying more than any other people in this planet," Ms Maathai told a press conference...Ms Maathai was quoted as saying that HIV/AIDS was created by scientists for the purpose of mass extermination." --- http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems...0/s1216687.htm
And of course you know that the Hurricane Katrina response time by federal disaster agencies was directly correlated to the number of blacks according to many, including New Orleans City Councilman Oliver Thomas who said people are too afraid of black people to go in and save them. Kanye West also made an impact with his idiotic statement.
Are we forgetting Biloxi, MS which was also hit by Katrina? Whites died by the hundreds in Biloxi so am I missing something here?
No one in America, white or black, is born into slavery or into chains anymore! We are born as equal persons. It is unfair to say black people are somehow born with lesser rights than whites. It is
insulting to give Affirmative Action to blacks; it is like giving a child a headstart. The whole idea that blacks need a program to help them get to college should be taken as demeaning and insulting to blacks! Are we preparing blacks in the workforce by giving them special privileges in education?
I am very comfortable with the Hate Crime laws; I believe the logic behind Hate Crime laws are very reasonable. If someone kills or harms someone because of how they look, they have a very dangerous mindset -- a more dangerous mindset than say someone who just happened to get in a fight with someone. It is important to root these criminals who kill and harm other races because, admit it or not, these criminals are more dangerous and more likely to do it again. That is my explanation on why charging someone with a hate crime is justifiable.
However, I am shocked on how they are enforced and used on the judicial level. For example:
in October 1999, a white man named Troy Knapp was attacked by a mob of black men wielding pipes and trash cans, while riding his bike with a companion in Charleston, SC. Knapp was beaten so severely that part of his skull and brain had to be removed, leaving him barely functional.
Seventeen suspects were arrested and charged with seconddegree lynching. However, local prosecutor David Schwacke commented, "We haven't been able to establish hate as a motive."
According to a Fox News report, Schwacke, "acknowledged that if it had been 17 white suspects and two black victims, hate would more likely be considered a motive."
I am terrified of the judicial system's intentions to not charge the black men with such a heinous crime in addition to not using the hate crime laws inacted just because of cases like this. Now blacks are being given special privileges in the courtroom? Unbelievable... and do not believe this is an isolated case.
