Bigots R US

Tuesday, 14 Sweltring (Wedmath), 2005

We noticed an article in one of our hometown papers the other day about racial hate crimes that have been taking place around metro Detroit. Besides being completely appalled at the prejudice and hatred involved in burning crosses on peoples's lawns in this day and age, we find ourselves having difficulty understanding that this is a new generation of racist iceholes who want to continue causing hatred and bigotry amongst their fellow man.

Within the article we find a theory that could have come straight out of our tinfoil-helmeted melon:

A weak economy can sometimes contribute to upswings in hate crimes, said Shanna Smith, a national civil rights expert. In recent months, Michigan has posted one of the highest unemployment rates in the country.

Smith, president of the National Fair Housing Alliance, said in an interview last month that when white people are financially unable to leave racially changing neighborhoods, some may lash out with hate. The alliance released a report in July that indicated some real estate agents in metro Detroit were steering black housing applicants away from mostly white neighborhoods, further dividing a region that is already one of the most segregated in the United States.

Gee, what ever would happen if non-white people were financially unable to leave a racially changing neighborhood and wanted to do so? What would happen if some real estate agents were steering white housing applicants away from non-white residential areas, should they choose to try and move into one? Or are those questions somewhat less of a concern to the rich white elitists running the country (into the ground)?

And why oh why would anyone say that we have a weak economy (cough)? All we ever hear coming from the media whores and The Unelectorated Warmonger are tales of how great everything is these days. You know, those wonderful record employment figures*. Who else has averaged under 20,000 new jobs per month during their pResidency? Who else has taken over 300 days of vacation while pRezNit for a little over four and a half years? While exhorting the populace to put in two years' worth of unpaid charity work? And handing out millions in tax breaks to a company that has already ripped off the American taxpayer for billions of dollars in the last four and a half years?

* - this could be one record that Putsch will have attached to his vile treachorous name down the ages - the president who laid off America. To go along with the most vacationeering as well? By our calculations, Dim Son will be clipping along at a rate of almost 78 days a year once he gets back to new product marketing season, er, business, when he deigns to return next month.
