no, that's why I put it up as a question.
at least 3 arson cases in the week following Roofs rampage.
3 more being investigated.
coincidence?
Probably no.
We all know racism is alive an well. I could point to stormfront, run by Stephen "Don" Black, a guy who has been a Grand Wizard of the KKK, an American Nazi Party member, and tried to take over a country once too.
KKK fliers left on front lawns in Whittier CA - Stormfront
For example, "
KKK fliers left on front lawns in Whittier, CA", coincidence?
"The distribution of white supremacist propaganda in Whittier follows similar incidents in Orange County. Last week, about 100 homes in Fullerton received KKK fliers – also inside plastic bags with a rock and a piece of candy – criticizing blacks, Latinos and Jewish people, according to Fullerton police Sgt. Kathryn Hamel.""
Here's one such response:
"There is no reason for police involvement. No crime has been committed that I can tell. Except the lollipop is lame. I would have preferred some Bazooka bubble gum or a Snickers bar."
There are very few people who are saying that racism doesn't exist. The question is what to do about it.
So far the strategy has been to attack, insult and berate the racists at every opportunity. And to accuse
anyone who
dares to say
anything within
ten miles of what could be
construed as racist as being a racist, in an apparent attempt to intimidate them.
Doesn't really seem to be working, and is almost certainly making things worse.
So either those who are doing this are making a sincere mistake, or they're not really all that concerned about improving things.
