We must call from now Supremacists
RACE TERRORIST !

To the white supremacists- The election is not about race. It is about everybody coming together and working side-by-side, to bring our nation back with the help of our newly elected President. Racial beatings are ridiculous, so wake up!!

I pray for the victims of these heinous crimes against Humanity. While we are judged by the color of our skin, our blood runs the same color. Please consider opening your hearts to others not like you. I promise you, your life will be richer for your experience. God Bless our planet.

How pathetic that ignorance continues, but I believe these terroristic acts will only serve to strengthen and unify our country — especially under our incredible new President. Pray for peace, pray for tolerance, pray for acceptance…and pray for Barack Obama and his family.

Nary a word on the proportion of black on
white crime that accurs on a daily basis
thats often just chalked-up to “it’s just what
blacks do” and who cares.
On a certain level such indiscriminate violence
appears just plain wrong, but put into it’s
proper context of what’s happening to white
people all across America with vitually no
mention of it by yours truely the SPLC, as well
as the fact that many if not most of these
poor little hispanics should’nt even be here to begin
with, I have to give a resounding ” Who Cares!”

James, would you like to provide statistics for those “black on white” crimes that you claim the SPLC ignores? I can assure you that those crimes probably get far more attention from the police than “white on black/brown” crimes do. And before you cry foul, I worked in law enforcement so I feel justified in saying that. Hopefully, the SPLC (and general education in law enforcement) will change this thought pattern to see crime as crime and hatred for exactly what it is.

James Hallman,
You have proven/shown in your statement that racism is often based in ignorance of the facts. First, nationally, most crime committed by black people is either victimless or the victim is Black. This is also true in my state and locally. The numbers just don’t match your allegations.
Secondly, MOST Hispanics/Latinos are American Citizens. Most of these Hispanics/Latino CITIZENS have been citizens since their lands were taken by the US government. This is true from Texas to California. Many of these citizen’s ancestors fought in the Mexican-American war on the side of the US.
It is also true that ALL Puerto Ricans are US citizens too.
This part is a little personal for me.
I have Puerto Rican inlaws and am ashamed of some of my fellow countrymen to report that I have heard people say that they shoud go back to where they came from and get out of OUR country. This has to be incredible ignorance or racism. I suspect that it is both. Even the family members which include the Lt. Colonel, Lt. and Tech Sergeant currently serving HIS country in Iraq have a lifetime of these experiences. They have lifetimes of memories of ignorant racists assuming first that they are immigrants, then assuming that they are illegal too. You too seem to assume that most Hispanic/ Latinos are illegal. Most aren’t even immigrants, they are US born citizens.
Lastly, I would like to suggest that people begin to get their info from reliable sources. Don’t get your crime stats. from talk show hosts, get them here at the US Bureau of Justice crime stats page. http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/ – 28k –
or the FBI crime stats at http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/ucr.htm – 32k . If you believe Chris Dodd that Mexicans are bringing outbreaks of disease (leprosy) to this nation you can check you facts at the CDC whose job it is to keep up with these things at http://www.cdc.gov.
On second thought, I suspect however that facts won’t change many opinions of racists who find that hating “the other” helps them get through thier day.

Potter: If you could read your own statistics you’ll see that blacks commit almost all catagories above and beyond what they make-up in the general population. As for those erroneous facts , they don’t change those facts that do stand-up, and those are enough to oppose non-white immigration.

If it appears that black on white crimes seems to get more attention it’s only because there’s so much of it. The racial crimes that makes “Headline News” are almost always those envolving white on black because 1. It’s so unusual and 2. The liberal media. If it is true that your’re envovled in law enforement, unless you just happen to be in an almost all white area, you know good and well that blacks are commiting crimes well out of all proportion to what they make up in the local population. Why do you think whites move out as they move in!

Ah, James. A true racist reveals himself by the terms “us” and “them”. Your quote “Why do you think whites move out as they move in!” speakes volumes.
I said I worked (past tense) in law enforcement and one of the areas that I worked in was primarily filled with bikers, and a healthy mix of many races. The majority of the crimes that had victims were done by a gang of middle class white kids who broke into the homes of the working folks in the better neighbourhoods. There was no larger dose of black on white or white on black crime. It was fairly equal. Attention is paid to one versus the other when it comes to money and unfortunately, money owns the media. Only now, is our local media becoming more balanced.
You still have provided me with no actual statistics for your statements, only more racists comments. Funny place for you to hang out ~ perhaps an online forum is the only place you feel brave enough to voice your hatred?

Thank you to all the positive thinking people for putting the facts/truth out their,I live in a State where the crime is done Equally by blacks,whites and latinos they are just different types of crimes and then sometimes the law enforcement do target more blacks and latinos more then they do whites while the real criminals are getting away with crimes.I use to work security in the mall and ,I know for a fact they watch the blacks and latino more while the whites are getting away.And also rich white people are getting away with a whole lot of shop lifting because they don’t fit the typical type to commit the the street term boosters.
