A recent article by the Associated Press that appeared in the Huntsville Times in Huntsville, Alabama, 4/26/05, is worthy of note. In Philadelphia, a black man, Stanford A. Douglas Jr., killed a white man, William Berkeyheiser. So what -- another killing in the coarsening of America? The difference here is that Berkeyheiser was killed because of a joke he told seven years ago. Douglas said it had racial overtones, and seven years later he hired a private investigator to locate Berkeyheiser. He went to the house, and when the door was opened, he shot Berkeyheiser three times. Berkeyheisers wife is a minority who says her husband would not tell a racist joke.
Whats going on here? Is the telling of a joke a killing offense in Philadelphia? Does living in a rage for seven years make any sense? Or is there more here than meets the eye -- increasing racial hatred?
Philadelphia has become a predominately black city. It has a black mayor, John F. Street, who is under investigation for corruption. The crime rate is very high -- 78 murders in 2005. It is described as a City in Crisis.
Is the killing of Berkeyheiser a race crime? Is it a hate crime? Does it signify a change in race relations in America -- a move by blacks to seek revenge on whites?
Although this crime in itself is probably not significant in the overall scheme of race relations in America, but added with other recent incidences, it may be an indicator of a serious problem.
Atlanta, Georgia is a predominately black city (67%) run by black people -- the mayor and all of the department heads are black. Crime is rampant -- there were 152 murders in 2002. On March 11, a white judge and a white court reporter were gunned down by an accused rapist. Brian Nichols, who is black, overpowered a deputy sheriff and took her gun. Instead of escaping, which he could easily have done, he climbed nine floors, entered the courtroom, and calmly shot Judge Rowland Barnes and Court Reporter Julie Ann Brandau. He acknowledged that he was a soldier on a mission to correct what he called systemic slavery against black men.
In Clayton County, Georgia, the predominately black population recently elected a new sheriff. On his first day, he fired 27 white employees, and here is how he went about it. He put armed snipers on the roof of the Harold R. Banke Justice Center in Jonesboro, Georgia -- just in case someone got emotional, he said. He herded them into a jail cell, and stripped them of their guns, badges and county car keys. They were given photocopies of their discharge papers, with a letter saying dont show your hides here. And under armed guards, they were escorted outside to a prisoner van which hauled them away to their homes. They were told that their replacements would be black.
In New Orleans, Louisiana, the predominately black population recently elected its first black District Attorney, Eddie Jordan. He immediately fired 53 of the 77 white employees in the office, and replaced them with black employees who were less experienced and who scored lower on performance evaluations.
Last week in Illinois a black student was unhappy at Trinity International University so she pretended to be a white person by mailing racial threats to fellow minority students. The threat was considered so serious that school authorities moved 40 minority students out of the dorm into a hotel for protection. The student hoped that her parents would let her come home if they thought that racial problems put her in danger -- an ugly slap in the face to white students at the University.
Perhaps an indication that this sort of racial abuse of white people was going to happen was initially evidenced in the blacks rise to power in many American cities. In 1967, Richard Hatcher was elected the first black mayor of a U.S. City, Gary, Indiana. According to the Post-Tribune, upon his election he announced that blacks would receive 50 % of all government positions. In 1997, when he was replaced, Gary had become the blackest city in America, the overall population had been reduced by one-third, and gangs had taken over the streets. ABC News.com said, The city of Gary is an American disaster. Rich Grey of the Post-Tribune said, It is a town that God forgot.
Many other cities, such as Washington, DC, Detroit, Baltimore, Cleveland, St. Louis, Birmingham, Ala., Camden, NJ, to name a few, have been turned into social, economic and educational ghettos. Coleman Young, when he was elected mayor of Detroit, said I am the black mayor of a black city. The city has no whites in any positions of power, and it is said by William Boggs, writing in American Renaissance, that without the welfare and surrounding infrastructure of a rich white nation, the city might well be no different from Haiti.
The national media has not seen fit to report the instances cited above as reverse racism or as hate crimes against white people. Very often you hear black people simply say its our turn. However, the people who were killed, the people who were fired, and the students who were abused were white and the perpetrators were black -- these were in fact race crimes, and to call them anything but hate crimes would be plain silly.
A half century ago, a major civil rights movement was fought against white racism and white hate crimes. The resulting civil rights legislation was specifically designed to protect all Americans, and to remove race as a consideration in the public arena in America. Yet today, racism and hate crimes are everywhere, and it appears that more are committed by black people than by white people. In addition, at the insistence of the black leadership, race is the primary consideration in almost everything that takes place in the country.
If the federal government was not so protective and if the media in American was not so quiet on racial matters, white Americans might have already decided that the country is not only coarsening, but is being unfairly dominated by minority interests -- something needs to be done. The five instances of racial abuse described above are petty compared to what has happened to the cities. But, the personal nature of this recent racial abuse, and the flagrant violation of the civil rights of white people, are the kind of racial incidences that may result in a wakeup call.
It is becoming clear that a new civil rights movement is warranted, and it may very well be on the near-term horizon.
