Scott, many people understand that white supremacy was behind both the deaths of Emmett and Medgar and the poverty and thus crime that plagues black communities. It is an apt comparison.
If any of you Zimmerman apologists were serious about us being past racism, you would understand and help address that fact. Instead, you blame black Americans for pointing out obvious facts and pick the least effective killer ever to turn into a saint. It's astounding to watch and proves how far America has to go yet on racial issues. The pro-Zimmerman tirades belittling reality for black Americans are some of the most openly bigoted and ignorant public statements I've seen in a long time. But please keeping making them and help inspire deliberate change.
We've long heard rumors about Mr. Lunumba's health and our editorial board asked him point blank about it before the election. He denied any serious recent health issues.there are plenty of rumors but no evidence otherwise. If he was dishonest, that is a serious problem. We cannot tolerate lies from leaders. But it is also naive to trust the rumor mill.
We've discussed this many times, Bill. Racism is a systemic approach to keep a race out of power--meaning the victims can't already enjoy majority culture status. Bigotry is individual and require the power component and bad too. Just not the same thing. Mixing them up solves nothing and provides cover for actual racists to insist that they are victims of racism, too, when they're not. It's a semantic game that can set us back decades if we dont get more educated on it.
A good warning sign of a possible racist-in-denial is someone who insists that bigotry and racism are the same thing. That's either ignorant or nefarious and very telling.
Corruption always fits our agenda. aAnd we hear reports about it constantly from Madison, Canton, Flowood,Pearl, Ridgeland, Rankin County.Sadly, don't have resources all the reports of suburban corruption. Hopefully, we will soon.
