RE: Some comments on your unlinkable column on race and murder in the Sun Sentinel on 8/25/14.

Ms. Swan,

In medieval times cartographers, having run out of names to put on the edges of their flat maps, put the words terra incognita on the margins. It meant no one knows what is there. Further, it oft-times included the words sunt leones there. They meant that should you get there safely watch out that the dragons don’t ruin your day.

Thus I take pen in hand, somewhat warily, because of past experiences with irate modern American Liberals, and enter the “R”, as in Race, gauntlet. These are lists where White entrants are judged not by results or even expectations but solely by the perceptions of those holding the cudgels.

“Are you a racist” will be answered right after “When did you stop beating your wife” is answered.

As Yeats, another prototypical 20th century DWEM, said,

“I prefer order to chaos”.

You say

“The protestors want the lives of young black men to matter.”

Now that Detroit has been dropped from the 3rd tier to unrated in the Premier League of American cities, Chicago is as modern an American Liberal city as can be imagined. Chicago waits breathlessly each month for the release of last month’s murder rates. The city fathers say Thank God and/or Allah be Praised when Baghdad retains its title as the murder capitol of the universe. If the feral WOGs there weren’t killing each other in a monotonously metronomic manner Chicago would no longer be the “Second City” in mayhem. [The police chief of Detroit has forever shattered the modern American liberal template of gun control is good by telling the citizens that they should arm themselves.

A quick look at those toe tagged in the murder corner of the Cook County Morgue shows, screams, that the victims are overwhelmingly young, overwhelmingly Black, and overwhelmingly male. That there should be a separate listing for the “alleged” victims 8 and under will be addressed in the next Summer of Recovery racially diverse budget planning committee.

“After the first death there are no others.”

While it is true that a White man wrote that it is equally true that

“Ask not for whom the bell tolls”

was also written by another melanin challenged bard.

tu quoque is a device much favored by Sophists to buttress a point. Are you aware of the similarities of the deaths of Michael Brown in Missouri and Dillon Taylor in Utah? Both were unarmed teenagers who were shot to death by policemen, Brown by a White policeman and Taylor by a Black policeman. Both unarmed teenagers are going to be dead for a very long time. On the surface there appear to be things in both worthy of national media attention. I am unaware of any calls for the home address of the Utah policeman. I may be wrong but I don’t think the Attorney General will be sending FBI shock troops to investigate.

Would I be tip-toeing in dangerous territory if I were to say that Blacks killing Blacks and Blacks killing Whites is worth a media yawn while Whites killing Blacks brings out vitriol unheard since racist Democrats ruled Congress?

I mention racist Democrats because while POO – The Perpetually Outraged and Offended – is greatly exorcized over the name Redskins Senator John Stennis [D-MI,], Representative Carl Vinson [D-GA] and Senator Richard Russell [D-GA] have been honored by their colleagues. The first 2 have nuclear aircraft carriers named after them and the 3rd one has his name on a Senate office building. Whatever else they were they were stone cold racists. The 3 of them would have done President Wilson proud. As Senator Dole said in 1996, “Where’s the outrage?”

Please tell me why one death in Missouri causes screams of outrage with calls for vengeance posing as justice while multiple murders in Chicago stand mute and unmourned? Take a shot, so to speak, at the events in Utah.
