How is pretending to be white and threatening fellow blacks funny?
I’m not going to lie, I’m a little surprised CNN would ever report on this. It goes against the “whites as racists” narrative they have been using since, well, forever:
An African-American man has pleaded guilty after being accused of impersonating a white supremacist in a fictitious Facebook account to make death threats against an African-American university student.
Dyron L. Hart, 20, of Poplarville, Mississippi, pleaded guilty Wednesday before U.S. District Judge Kurt D. Engelhardt to one count of communicating threats in interstate commerce, according to a Department of Justice statement.
Hart admitted creating the fictitious account in November, pretending to be a white supremacist outraged by the election of Barack Obama as the nation’s first African-American president, the statement said.
He then transmitted a death threat via Facebook to an African-American student at Nicholls State University in Louisiana, saying he wanted to kill African-Americans because of Obama’s election, according to the statement.
A court document provided by the U.S. attorney’s office said Hart told an FBI interviewer that he intended the threat to be a prank “to get a reaction.”
Why anyone would want to provoke racial tensions like this is beyond me. What, was this guy mad that all of the garbage the MSM, Hollywood, and elite politicians had been telling him all of his life about white America was wrong? Was he angry that the myth of an inherently racist country had been proven to be just a myth with the election of a black man to the White House? Was he out to prove that America was still a racist nation? Since we’re calling him an “African-American,” does he even have any ties to Africa? News Alert: not all blacks are from Africa or descendants of Africans. Talk about a politically incorrect term!
He claims it was a prank, but what kind of prank is that? First of all, it’s not like he was pranking somebody he knew. There was no inside joke here (not that this would be funny even if it were an inside joke). You usually don’t prank strangers and hope not to get caught. I mean, one can only assume he didn’t intend to get caught. I wonder if Barack Obama would say that this man “acted stupidly” if he were questioned about it. Probably not, but if he did he could invite him over for a beer, afterward! There’s two people that need to get together: the “prankster” and the guy he pranked.
Let’s be realistic, the left would just excuse this guys behavior. Somewhere in there it’s the white man’s fault. I’m just not seeing it, yet. It must be all of those years of racism and oppression. Whatever! I’m still waiting to see this post-racial America we’re supposed to be living in. I never had to get past race because I was never behind it. I wish everyone else would catch up.

It’s weird, I came across this story on CNN online this afternoon and it didn’t surprise me. I really believe that the swastika painted on the black representative’s sign a few days ago was done by someone on the left (possibly black?) to play the victim card while demonizing the right in one step.

This goes on more often than you think. So you must be careful when you read comments that are racial and responding to these people that try to cause racial tensions. The best way is to just ignore the racist comments.

Doesn’t surprise me, it’s exactly like when you see people against prostitution and learn later they used hookers ( *cough* Spitzer *cough* ), I always said it’s a psychological thing, when I see someone or a particular group obsessed by an ideology, I always question their motivation, it’s kind of like they hate themselves for having these feelings, so they need to project a false image of it. You can see that pattern in rabid anti-gay who are secretly gay, anti-racist who are racist, etc. Like the french says “the opposite of love is not hate, it’s indifference”, if you hate something, you’re probably trying to suppress something.

Let’s be clear. This was a moronic action, and I’m sure every single progressive would agree with me. This stupid man not only potentially traumatized another man, he made a major propaganda victory for conservatives who think we are past a white-black divide.
So please, speak for yourself, and don’t juxtapose a stupid action on one man’s part with a sloppy smear of ‘the left’.

I suspect he was trying to prove that America is still a racist nation by making his own proof. Either that, or he has an extremely poor sense of humor. or both.

Wonder what Al Shapton would say about this?
