Mychal Massie is fed up with the double standard:



Ok, I’ve had it. I’m ticked and I don’t give a rat’s tail who likes it or not, and I couldn’t care less what I’m called. It’s about time people–who are thinking exactly what I’m about to say–stop wringing their hands and whining, and step up to the plate while we still can. What am I talking about? I’m glad you asked.

I’m talking about the duplicitous, harmful, double standards for black thuggery. I’m talking about the media and politicians covering up and ignoring crimes based on color. There are protected classes for everyone and everything except civility and propriety, and we have got to change this practice.

It took two weeks for The Virginia Pilot newspaper in Norfolk, VA., to report that a mob of black youths (numbering, by some accounts, near 100 persons) had attacked and beaten two of the paper’s very own employees. Reports are that the couple was on their way home from a theater show, stopped for a light, when a gang of black hoodlums attacked their vehicle. When the driver got out of the vehicle it resulted in both him and the woman with him being beaten. Miraculously the injuries were not life threatening, but that made them no less traumatic.

Rather than report the incident accurately with journalistic integrity, The Virginia Pilot chose instead to ignore it for two weeks. The police reported the mob attack as a simple assault, and it has been reported that the police did not even take names of witnesses. Someone tweeted that they didn’t feel bad for the “white” man who was beaten, they indicated laughter and tweeted “do it for Trayvon.” So is that the memorial that Martin’s family and friends want for him? Is this the peaceful handling of things that Martin’s mother has called for or is it the “assault white people in Trayvon’s memory” that the New Black Panther Party has promoted?”

Here’s the real problem, and the source of my outrage: The media, et al, will only get involved if the assault is politically correct enough. If blacks are walking around so angry that they are unable to control themselves and are at any moment on the verge of brutally assaulting others, then, I say put those so inclined on a reservation, build a fence around them and name it Thug Town. Appoint indicted, former Mayor of Detroit, Kwame Kilpatrick, as mayor and make Malik Zulu Shabazz, of the New Black Panther Party, the police commissioner.
