Ron,
Keep in mind that I'm living in a country that wholeheartedly collaborated with Nazi Germany about 60 years ago, that is with a regime that killed Jews, Gypsies and other undesirable fellows by the MILLION!!!
You should also recall what happened to French women who used to shop around German soldiers during WWII....
Now, talking of political crimes/murders committed by African Americans in a country that still was segregated and racist.... I mean, at least they had a reason of sorts... They were cornered and closely watched by the FBI and, remember, it was the FBI that snuffed out both Malcom X and Martin Luther King --using soul fellows of course....
The other day I was strolling down a big bookstore in downtown Brussels and then I stumbled across a picture book exclusively made up of photos of black lynchings in the US, from the late 19th century onwards.... Page after page, it was always the same disgusting scenery: one or a coupla Negroes hanging from a tree and, proudly posing in the foreground, a bunch of white hillbillies.... and there you go again, grousing about the Black Panthers and a tear-jerker about one of their internecine killings?! C'mon!
Regards,
Gus. |
