Did White People "Create A Threatening And Hostile Environment” When Singing Of Hanging A "Nigger"?

While keeping blacks from an education, a good time is always had by all

According to the readers over at Althouse, after 400 years of white-on-black murder, whites should still be able to sing of killing me - without me feeling threatened - because,...there's another political ideology:

"Good for the fraternity, for having the song. 

It's an up-yours to the leftist agenda. 

We need more of that."

"Strange Fruit" are STILL only fruits, am I right?

And because whites right now are confused,...as to what kind of threat they pose:

"I know the song ultimately became public, but it done in private. How does that create a hostile and threatening environment?"

The more the merrier!

And because - something these proponents of "colorblindness" have denied until now - they've always been this way:

"So now it's against the law to be racist? What's happened to this country?"

An early attempt to stop twerking from sweeping the nation

Then there's those who honestly believe lynching me is no big deal:

"I want to live in a world where we can tolerate people saying things we don't like, and the meaning of 'threatening' isn't mangled beyond recognition."

Althouse's home movies weren't telling the whole story of her childhood

But, if I was white - or even Ann Althouse herself - I simply would've settled for saying sick serenades aren't a problem because, in America, whites killing blacks has always been "fun for the whole family,..."

How Do Whites Cover Up The Whole Town Of Ferguson Being Racist & Financially Exploitive Of Blacks? They Make "Hands Up! Don't Shoot!" Into Their Biggest Issue

Fulfilling blacks every dream of white people!

Yes, I've been peeking at Althouse again, because - if there's a racist "spin" to be had - you know she'll be promoting it for cash, too,...

ADDED - since a law professor thinks "Hands Up! Don't Shoot!" is SO where the really important discussion is now:

TMR is, you can be sure, that whites who decide to "help" black people are usually doing something we don't like with the rest of their time,...

White People: Working Racist Strategies Since Slavery

Today's "colorblind" patriots - just doing what they think is right - by whites

"When black people break the law or flout social norms in the United States, the public conversation immediately turns to the broader concept of blackness itself,...What is wrong, we ask, with African Americans? 

When white people misbehave, however, they rarely represent more than themselves, even when they're members of an organization like, say, SAE,...They are routinely defended with excuses of inebriation, misspeaking, and unintentional bigotry. Even then, being white often means doing wrong without bringing your entire race into it,...This is what privilege is: to speak and act only for yourself, and only when you feel like it."

Red State Makes Conservatives Look Pro-Government

Somehow, tyranny can't be more obvious - unless it's pointed at blacks

"Anyone who can read the actual [DOJ] report itself and be comfortable with the fact that citizens of an American city live under such a regime is frankly not someone who is ideologically aligned with me in any meaningful way."

- Leon H. Wolf, Red State

Like The Song Said: Whites "Teach Your Children Well"

Whites have insisted it's not true - they're innocent - long past the point of believability. But the worst part is, they not only think those of us who are their racism's targets will buy it, but - white supremacy in action - they've made us endure it until whites make up their twisted, coddled, sheltered, and completely unbelievable minds.

It's blacks who have been lying?

Gee, thanks, white people,...

Andy Levy: A Conservative Who Understands Racism

There they are, a bunch of white people - knowing they're being heard but still making light of a very serious topic to blacks - and then, BOOM, they discover an interloper in the midst of their racism (as well as a flaw in their conception of democracy) and, oh my God, what in the world's going to happen to America now? Stay tuned,...

Emptying The Ocean With A Paper Cup: That's The Job

“The problems may have been there, but they were new to me. A lot of this just destroyed me. We want our people back. We want everybody to come back and be a part of it. We would like to change. We want to improve, to be able to help what other people feel is the problem, because we didn’t see it.”

- Mike Brandon, 45, a Ferguson contractor whose suffered as protests stretched on over the months

"In the city of 21,000, there are literally 16,000 with outstanding warrants out for their arrests. That means that three out of every four Ferguson residents is a wanted fugitive. There’s something very wrong with that,..."

All supported by American law, and it's judicial system, we might add: every bit of it perfectly legal, as the plunder of blacks has always been in this "land of the free."

Knowing our fellow citizens will kill us, before securing our rights, is a discomforting feeling. That they think their murderous framing is good, and normal, is unnerving. That they'd rather fight over it, merely because they can, says all any black history student needs to know about the "content" of white America's "character" - a much discussed topic - after 400 years. Their willing betrayal is true, and still as based in their own ignorance as ever, reason be damned. No one can reason with the violently insane:

What’s hard is reforming the whole country, the whole culture, the whole world. What’s hard is looking at the systems that cause racism in your own workplace, your own community, in yourself. Because that’s a fight that doesn’t end with a “return to normalcy,” which usually just means people learning not to let their racism get caught on video. That’s a fight that requires we acknowledge that none of us in our lifetimes have ever seen “normal,” that we shouldn’t settle for a version of “normal” that’s anything less than “the normalcy that recognizes the dignity and worth of all of God’s children.” 

I worry that the ebb and flow of social change isn’t determined by the resistance of the reactionaries–that revolution doesn’t slow, stall or even reverse because the Right finds new reservoirs of strength. It happens because the revolutionaries get fatigued. We want to declare an easy victory, get some racists fired and go home. Progressives had a huge rowdy party the night we fired the GOP from the White House in 2008 and then, seemingly, spent the next four years in bed. 

What’s happening in Ferguson is great. It’s not over. The outcry on college campuses against SAE because of the Oklahoma University video is great. It’s not over. 

Getting racists fired is always satisfying. It’s never enough.

So you yell loud, you yell often, and you never change focus:

Reparations now. Reparations tomorrow. Reparations forever,...
