We can't afford to wait. The socialists won the Jena 6 round. The damage has been done and this one article changes nothing. We need to expose these hoaxes more quickly and relentlessly. I was on every Jena 6 thread from the get-go arguing that this was a socialist hoax. Many FReepers called me a racist etc. Where were you?
Drive-by media. Rush nailed that one perfectly.
A non-sequitur IMO. The media not only control the facts that are presented but they ARE the race-baiters. Current American journalism is mostly an excercise in partisan propaganda and spin.
Well yes, as a matter of fact that is exactly what I think which is why that is exactly what I said. Funny how that works, huh?
Whether those FReepers who advance socialistic world government do so unwittingly is immaterial. Ignorance is no excuse. Many FReepers were on the Jena threads repeating the socialist line. I called them out explicitly from day one and yet many of them persisted in their error with great energy and self-righteous indignation.
...which illustrates why so many in the media reported the what they did...because of poor (lazy) primary reporting and the propagation of the partial story that was available at first. It wasn't any idea of dividing America or other nonsense...it was that the reporters on the scene believed the race-baiters out of laziness and stupidity and the great story it made, and the downstream papers had nothing else upon which they could rely.
It is my belief that you could not be more wrong. I believe that anyone who cannot see the socialist agenda behind the reporting on race in this country is ignorant and foolish. It is well documented here on FR. There simply is no excuse for your continued unreason.
As Bernard Goldberg pointed out in Bias, there's no organized conspiracy among all the journalists out there. There are left-leaning tendencies of individuals, and low enough salaries that you don't get many highly logical or investigatory-minded recruits, so the net effect is one of bias, even if it's not organized.
This is tendentious nonsense. You think you are being intelligent and wise but really you are spouting off crap. You here claim that there is no "organised" socialist agenda, merely a disorganized one. Yet above you said there is no socialist agenda at all. Well, which it it?
If you read my previous comment, you'll see that I am not suggesting the posters or the editors across the country were lazy...I'm blaming it on the primary reporting.
And, as I also said, there's a tendency for reporters to have inherent bias, poor logic skills, etc., all of which contribute to the story being a conduit for the race-baiters (rather than a well researched story).
As for the FReepers holding opinions after hearing the facts, well, that's a different story. I can't speak to that.
They have been conditioned into this unreason. They have been taught to crave the thrill of sanctimony and belonging. Southern white racists are the new witches.
Please join me in calling this out wherever you see it, especially here on FR.
This doesn't pass the smell test.
Of course it doesn't, and it never did. I called this very nonsense out the moment it first appeared on FR and got called a racist for doing so. Some people just enjoy hating "Southern white racists" too much to let their own reason spoil the party.
Yes and the irony is that a first generation immigrant son from India won in a huge landslide.
Thank God!
Your clue is right in front of you in your own words. "Nooses are racist." Who told you this and why did they tell you this? How can you be so sure that everyone "knows" that "nooses are racist"?
"In Louisiana." Well, say no more, right? Those people are ignorant, racist troglodytes. Not at all like you! Racist, racist, racist! (Feels good to say it, no?)
Oh by the way, how 'bout that Bobby Jindal?
From the article:
"An investigation by school officials, police, and an FBI agent revealed the true motivation behind the placing of two nooses in the tree the day after the assembly. According to the expulsion committee, the crudely constructed nooses were not aimed at black students."
So all these folks are stupid, racist and wrong and you know this simply because they are "in Louisiana" and "nooses are racist". That's some mighty fine detective work there, Sherlock.
I tend to agree. I think it's probably a few trouble-makers (racist or not) that fueled this episode, and the ever-opportunistic leftist media pounced on the incident and blew it all out of proportion. Which is pretty much what the leftist media does with every issue that makes whites, and especially white Republicans, look bad.
I believe that there are fundamental disagreements among those with wealth and power. I believe that they don't all want the same things. For example, I believe that there are important differences between Dick Cheney and George Soros, two men of great wealth and power. Now, Karl Marx would tell you that there are not such differences between Cheney and Soros, and I think George Soros wants you to agree with Karl Marx on this, which apparently you do. Please reconsider.
It is certainly a hoax but it has not yet been exposed as such to most Americans.
You are babbling foolishly. What exactly did you learn in school?
Isn’t that the truth. lol
