Hate crime not such a big deal according to radio host

[redhotpoker]

Conservative radio host James Edwards responded with moral indignation to what looked liked a black on white hate crime at a McDonalds. Edwards then dismissed the severity of the crime because it turns of the victim wasn't attacked because she was white, it was because she was trans-gender.

Quote from Edwards about black people you'll love: "There you have it, folks. This is how Blacks say "thank you" for welfare, affirmative action, quotas, set asides, free education, and Christian salvation."

The clusterfuck of racism and transphobia in how people are responding to this is bad enough but I wasn't prepared for how fucked up that video is. That needs a trigger warning seriously. I'm physically ill :(

How many of these right wing radio pundits are there? There seems to be an endless supply of this sort of nonsense on the airwaves.

Original report;


What is it with Black violence at McDonald’s? (http://www.thepoliticalcesspool.org/jamesedwards/2011/04/22/what-is-it-with-black-violence-at-mcdonalds/)

Category: America Is Becoming A Third World Country (http://www.thepoliticalcesspool.org/jamesedwards/category/america-is-becoming-a-third-world-country/), Blacks (http://www.thepoliticalcesspool.org/jamesedwards/category/blacks/), Crime (http://www.thepoliticalcesspool.org/jamesedwards/category/crime/), Death By Diversity (http://www.thepoliticalcesspool.org/jamesedwards/category/death-by-diversity/) Earlier this week we learned about the Black woman who started running over people with her car (http://www.thepoliticalcesspool.org/jamesedwards/2011/04/21/black-woman-uses-car-to-run-over-people-at-mcdonalds/) at a McDonald’s in Cleveland.
Now, at a McDonald’s in Baltimore, we find Black girls almost beating a White woman to death. She ends up writhing on the floor in a seizure while restaurant staff tapes it and laughs. It’s very hard to watch, but the footage can be seen below. Our prayers are with the victim of this heinous crime.
There you have it, folks. This is how Blacks say “thank you” for welfare, affirmative action, quotas, set asides, free education, and Christian salvation.
But, it’s important to see how diversity really works. Once you get out of the classroom, this is what multiculturalism actually looks like in the real world.
Here are additional details of the video (http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=ec0_1303444048) you just watched:
Here is another fine example of the trend of violence in fast food restaurants. Two females beating the hell out of a patron, while several employees stand by and watch. One male manages to provide the facade of assistance to the victim in this brutal attack.
The two females exit, then re-enter the store to continue the beating, until a an older woman attempts to stop them from dragging the victim outside into the parking lot. The male employees have disappeared from camera view, even though they are plenty well capable of stopping the attack.
At the end, the White victim is beaten until she has a seizure, at which point the camera operator warns the female attackers to flee, because the police are on the way. He makes sure to repeatedly tell the criminal attackers to flee, instead of keeping them there for the police to apprehend.
Response from Mc Donalds’: “We are shocked by the video from a Baltimore franchised restaurant showing an assault. This incident is unacceptable, disturbing and troubling. McDonald’s strives to be a safe, welcoming environment for everyone who visits. Nothing is more important to us than the safety of customers and employees in our restaurants. We are working with the franchisee and the local authorities to investigate this matter.”
If the races had been reversed, and White women were beating a Black girl while White workers watched the show in progress, this would have been the biggest news story in America. But, as it stands, you probably won’t hear about this anywhere other than here. Black on White crime is so common it’s not even newsworthy.
It’s ok though, because I’m sure “White racism” made them do it.
Now, you can be remain silent and allow crimes like these to continue to multiply. Or, you can stand up and speak out about racial realities. Tell the truth in love and engage the multicultists in the court of public opinion.
If you can’t do that, at least consider supporting our work at The Political Cesspool Radio Program, (http://www.thepoliticalcesspool.org/) where we expose race, politics, and hypocrisy each and every week before a nationally syndicated audience. No other mainstream media outlets dare speak of stories like this.


THe second report:




Was victim at Baltimore McDonald’s actually a man? (http://www.thepoliticalcesspool.org/jamesedwards/2011/04/22/was-victim-at-baltimore-mcdonalds-actually-a-man/)

Category: Blacks (http://www.thepoliticalcesspool.org/jamesedwards/category/blacks/), Crime (http://www.thepoliticalcesspool.org/jamesedwards/category/crime/), Gays|Homosexuals (http://www.thepoliticalcesspool.org/jamesedwards/category/gayshomosexuals/) I thought something was fishy when I read that police were investigating the brutal beating (http://www.thepoliticalcesspool.org/jamesedwards/2011/04/22/what-is-it-with-black-violence-at-mcdonalds/) that took place at a McDonald’s in Maryland as a “hate crime.”
There’s just no way that they’d ever consider a Black on White crime to be a hate crime. Unless, of course, the White person was a homosexual, or in this case, a transvestite. (http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/baltimore-city/bs-md-ci-viral-video-mcdonalds-20110422,0,4613709.story)
That’s right, gang. The White “woman” in the video here could possibly be a male, but nobody seems to know for sure. Some news outlets report her to be a female. Others make mention that he/she is a transvestite. The Police say they don’t know.
A video of a vicious beating at a Baltimore County McDonald’s restaurant went viral Friday, garnering hundreds of thousands of views on websites and prompting the fast-food giant to issue a statement condemning the incident.
The video shows two women — one of them a 14-year-old girl — repeatedly kicking and punching the 22-year-old victim in the head, as an employee of the Rosedale restaurant and a patron try to intervene. Others can be heard laughing, and men are seen standing idly by.
Toward the end of the video, one of the suspects lands a punishing blow to the victim’s head, and she appears to have a seizure. A man’s voice tells the women to run because police are coming.
(Snip)
County police confirmed that the attack occurred April 18 in the 6300 block of Kenwood Ave. Police said the 14-year-old girl has been charged as a juvenile, while charges were pending against an 18-year-old woman.
Equality Maryland said the victim is a transgender woman and called on state Attorney General Douglas F. Gansler to step in and investigate the case as a hate crime. Police and prosecutors said they did not know whether the victim is a transgender woman.
You may have to excuse my initial report. (http://www.thepoliticalcesspool.org/jamesedwards/2011/04/22/what-is-it-with-black-violence-at-mcdonalds/) When I read news stories reporting that the victim is a “woman,” and I see video of someone who looks like a woman, I naturally figure that they are, you know, a real woman.
Sometimes I forget the perversity of modern-day America. These days, “she” can actually mean “he,” when you’re reading the news.
Back when I was growing up, she meant female and he meant male. Today, they try to pretend that gender is based upon how a person feels. Having a penis is irrelevant.
None of this changes anything regarding Black violence, of course, and I certainly still condemn the attack. But, it would explain the possible “hate crimes” investigation.
What do y’all think? Was the victim a man or a woman? I guess only time will tell.

[PhoenixAsh]

...right...

SO...

black people beating a white person is automatically racist? And a white person beating a black person is also automatically racist?

Thats the first problem. No evidence of racial motivation. So basically the automatic assumption that the act itself is racist is in fact racist. Since there is no evidence whatsoever of racial motivation....the assumption that there is is solely based on skin colour.

And to reassure you al about human nature...people can beat the shit out of each other for every reason you can think of...which basically means there is a whole host of other possible and polausible reasons for this fight than race


The second problem is how you can go from the assumption of racial motivation to the immediate following conclusion that black people should be grateful to each and every white person for whatever welfare etc there is. Pretty sure the induvidual victim is not responsible for any of these so called "privileges" and "gifts". Fuck off.

But that is really a very minor point next to the actual implication of this statement....its racist to the core. Because it, obviously, alledges several things...which I will limit to the four main ones:
1). black people are on welfare
2). welfare exists for black people
3). white people are not on welfare
4). white people are productive members of society who pay for all this

All of the above are untrue. Therefore...again...the assertion is racist.


If the crime was racially motivated it should be prosecuted that way. But from the simple event this can not be concluded.

Now...the fact that this mofo is a racist...if that was not blatantly obvious... in his following blog post he almost litterally states that he still condemns the black violence eventhough she may be a he according to some twisted outdated logic and this may have been the cause for the violence. So now we have a clear establishment that racism was not the primary motivator...but its still black violence in the eyes of the author. (to be fair...racism as a motivator is not disproven either...this may have very well been a case of racially motivated transgender hatred...who knows...but hell...for arguments sake)

Now...that little sentence tells us two things about the person....one he is a racist...and the second...is he is a gender biggot....because sly as the asshole is...he suddenly condemns the BLACK violence..but puts hate crime in quotation marks. Obviously its not a hate crime anymore...simply black violence...accoding to his twisted mentality....because she may be a he.

Now...I can accept the fact that some people can not wrap their heads around the concept of transgender issues....nor around the logic, emotions and feelings involved. Nobody except for those who undergo these emtions can truely know how it must feel. Hell...I don't know...and luckily I do not have to.

Because knowing is not the issue....not even understanding how it works. Its the fact that somebody obviously feels as something other than their body provides. That simple fact should be enough to think: well...ok...fine...its not my thing and I do not understand completely...but that person does and obviously its his or her choice.

I have no idea how many pundits like this there are in the US....I certainly hope there are as many radicals out there who have shows attacking and exposing these fuckers for the posion they are.

This radio host is an avowed white nationalist, so it's not really that suprising.

[The Last Black Cowboy]

this video is amazing for all the issues that it brings to the forefront. it amazes me that no one has said maybe this attack was not motivated by race or gender but by some other factor. the victim herself said a guy who was with the attackers hit on her, maybe this time it was just about a guy. it's also interesting to see people use this tragic event for their own cause. first it seemed only white racists cared about this incident. now that this woman's full identity has been revealed i've seen back peddling and even some of them making excuses for the attackers. on the other side i've seen both my gay friends and my friend of color go from indifference to sending around epetitions. a clear picturw of america.

Oh for fucks sake


A transgender woman beaten at a Baltimore County McDonald's spoke out on Saturday, saying that the attack was "definitely a hate crime" and that she's been afraid to go out in public ever since.

"They said, 'That's a dude, that's a dude and she's in the female bathroom,' " said Chrissy Lee Polis, 22, who said she stopped at the Rosedale restaurant to use the restroom. "They spit in my face."

You can see her being dragged out of the bathroom in the video. There are a lot of things that are amazing about this to me: that someone could react with indifference and fail to intervene when someone is being beaten to the verge of death; that someone could think it's okay to provide a permanent record of that traumatic event and broadcast it to the entire world; that someone could deepen the trauma and humiliation by making the victim's legal status and past convictions public (but the attackers, who almost murdered this woman, don't get the same treatment. if ever there was a case of victim blaming); that people could dissect this in such a neutral and uncaring tone; etc. But the one thing that never, ever crossed my mind was that this video is being exploited to benefit a "cause," as if being against hate crimes could be described as a "cause."

exploitation may be strong , but it was obvious to me conservatives and WN were using this incident tp point to and say, "see how they act" and now the lgbt cmmunity has picked it up because we know she is transgendered. just saying.

They picked it up because we know it was a hate crime. And they're not responsible for what moronic racists say.

I was recently debating with a right winger on the United States and the Soviet Union and I made a list of complaints about the way of life in America during the 1950's. At first he claimed that all of my complaints were unreasonable because teh SoV13t UNIONS was worse in all the respects of my complaints and then he got to the one on racism. And asked me if it was the best I could do. A little bit of racism during the 1940's and 1950's which he claimed also existed in the Soviet Union. State funded racial terror along with paramilitary support from the KKK and he called it insignificant.

So I wouldn't be surprised if right wingers think that hate crimes are minimal and not worth considering. Well this is how they hook their audience.
