		<description>&#039;&#039;He is not a racist or a murderer. If anything, he is being tried by the media, suffering from reverse racism and placed in jail without bond. I am sick of the race card.&#039;&#039;

LMFAO. Kid admitted to going out to &#039;&#039;fuck with niggers&#039;&#039; Kid shouted &#039;&#039; White power &#039;&#039; and admited to doing so. Kid admitted to killing the victim because he was black. Kid admitted to multiple other racial reasons to do this and yet his great aunt is convinced that somehow he is not a racist? He killed an innocent man and she is convinced he is not a murderer? What kind of wacky white scummy family the Dedmons are. And that part about the race card... what?</description>

		<description>You know what strikes me here? The simple fact that racial division has been and still is a tool, or diversion to keep the average American worrying about something other than being taken to the cleaners by the &quot;ruling elite&quot;.
   
 Slave owners made sure that their slaves were thought less than human, in order to validate slavery; after emancipation this coercion continued, as to keep the majority of power in the southern government in the hands of the big landowners, keeping all those &quot;poor working whites&quot; worried about a host of red herrings, not on who was really sticking it to them. Unfortunately we have been told that this has ended, but maybe not. Once again for all the haters you are being used as a tool to keep the focus off of general inequity in the system.</description>

		<description>This young Southern Confederate Taliban deserves to die like any other terrorist ( Confederate Taliban ). Confederate Taliban has gotten away with too much in the past they should be excuted just as a Muslum Terrorist. This country need to get rid of all terrorist including Urban Taliban ( City Gang Member ). The one thing about Confederate Taliban they target minorites only when, that person is out number or alone, minorities need to start packing some major heat nothing under a 40 cal.</description>

		<description>It may be that I come from a generation closer to the alleged attacker than the victim but I have closely associated my knowledge and studies with the civil rights and human rights movement working for better race relations and gay rights. NAACP President Benjamin Jealous said after the execution of Troy Davis on September 21st that &quot;what begins as justice often ends in revenge.&quot; And this may be the case in demanding the life of this young man&#039;s for the victim. Sentencing the boy to death does not erase the problem. The problem must be embraced and fixed through rehabilitation, cultural integration, and social reform not taking out the racists because it only means that they will continue with a vengence in secrecy. The question is the parenting and the environment in which these teens were raised. How is it that young people can be defended as good and they commit such heinous actions &#039;for fun&#039; as most hate crimes do begin (typically young white men who are actually just doing stupid things for fun and not for trouble). Whether you prefer the peaceful, nonviolent civil protest of Dr. Martin Luther King and Ghandi or the forceful change of Malcolm X. You must remember that we as a people (of all colors) must come together to take back our society from corrupt politicians and broken social systems.</description>

		<description>Rest in peace. I hope his killers get the death penalty. Those teens were raised to be violent bigots by their racists community. In places like Mississippi there is only 1 thing that racists respect, a person of color who fights back. Would&#039;ve been a different outcome that night if that black guy pulled out a 40 cal Ruger and put 2 rounds in all of those violent bigots&#039; faces. Too bad he wasn&#039;t armed. I wish his family the best.</description>

		<description>The South just murdered a innocent man just recently who was inocennt of the charges but they murdered him anyway with made up evidence.  Now all the evidence is purely clear and visible in the senseless, hate crime against another black man and they are only charging 2 when there were 7,  this is blatant racism.  This blonde, blue eye devil needs to be put away for life regardless of how its done and that include the rest to the demons that was with him.</description>

		<description>I agree that there should be more charges filed on all the kids involved. And why is one boy being charged with simple assault when it is already been established that it was a hate crime. I have little faith in Mississippi doing the right thing with this considering their history but I am VERY curious to see what the feds do.</description>

		<description>I HATE that an innocent man died, and I HATE that some white people think they are better just because of their skin color. I am white, but that doesn&#039;t mean I am any better than anyone, no matter the race! I watched the new movie The Help, AWESOME! shows just how cruel some white people can be! I am glad a couple white girls took the courage to stand up for these colored women :) Equal rights totally rock!!</description>

Here&#039;s one comment

We know what kind of media carp instigated Anders Breivik. We need to know what instigates simple minds like Deryl Dedmon, of whom there are many more, and nearer at hand. Fair to middling candidates are steeplejacked churches, dogwhistle politics, and Fox News.

Here&#039;s one more for you ,

I’ll bet this kid and all his buddies as well as all their families go to an all white church – eat at all white restaurants possibly along with local law enforcement. 

As if all people that attend white churches , eat in white establishments , watch FOX news are all racists , bigots , and killers . With that understanding that would mean all Muslims , Blacks , Hispanics , Chinese , Japanese are all racists , killers , and bigots because they normally attend their own churches and eat in their own establishments . 

Thats the point I was making , look at what you are saying because a lot of the stuff being said is just s bigoted and prejudice as what these idiots did . I would also like to ask the dip that said I sounded like I was friends with the murderers . How in the world did you get that when I CLEARLY said I do not approve of  what they did . Would it be because I see it through different eyes than you , my how tolerant of you . To be perfectly clear these turds are the scum of the earth and once tried and convicted they should be taken out and shot between the eyes with a .20 wad cutter .

As a man living my entire life in Alabama , except for the 8 years I spent in the military , and also in an interracial marriage I will never deny that there are some sheet wearing , tobacco chewing inbred turds out there . Just as I will tell you racism and hate knows no color , it&#039;s in every race . 
I will also tell you that these type of crimes are rare , thank God  . Most race crimes are usually between the same races , such has gang violence . Watch some real news for once and see for yourselves instead of sitting on your couches and watching &quot; The View &quot; , MSNBC , CNN , and HLN . I know thats not wrong to say because  Raynardine said it twice and was never called on it , so that means it&#039;s alright to assume that all of you with those views watch those shows , right ? 

With that I&#039;ll sign off and wait for a bunch of hateful replies calling me a bigot , racist , and ignorant  even though you know NOTHING about me .</description>

		<description>They should of stayed at home and yelled racial slurs over their xbox 360 mics while playing call of duty like normal  and they wouldn&#039;t be in this mess. If you think racism is still not a problem in the USA. Memberships for  hate groups increased  when Barack Obama took office. So it&#039;s not a surprise these  kids committed this horrible crime against  this innocent man minding his business. I hope the people out there in mississippi put public pressure on prosecutors to seek convictions for all those involved in this murder.</description>

		<description>The Southern Baptist Convention&#039;s ( SBC ) head of the    &quot; Ethics &quot; &amp; Religious Liberty Commission  refused to support the Federal  Hate Crime Law when it was proposed and which has already punished some and will probably punish people guilty of this crime .  His actions could be interpreted by some in the Southern  churches as a sign of approval - but  Richard Land should be able to understand that with his Doctorate ( Dr.).  On the good side, the SBC has promoted an African American pastor as Vice-President who will become the President of the SBC in about a year.  Right is Might . There&#039;s hope !</description>

		<description>Racism is a tradition handed down from generation to generation to secure a false sense of superiority. Cowardice is also a learned behavior. My point is that you never see these people alone. They&#039;re always in groups or frequent places where people of the same cowardly mind set patronize. Ever wonder why white racist and black racist are never in the same place at the same time ?</description>

		<description>There was obviously a distortion somewhere in the lives of all of these children. One could say that comments here are filled with hate. However, from where I sit there is no other emotion that can be called to mind. Let&#039;s say the emotion is removed? All of it.  Only the law is applied. This event started out with, not 1 but 2 car loads of teens driving a great distance, intoxicated, from a one neighborhood to another neighborhood. Hmmm? A human being, (who had not ties to any of the individuals who attacked him), was severely beaten and terrorized by a gang of individuals for no apparent reason. After the beating from unknown assailants he attempted to stagger in what could have been an effort to get himself some help. However, one of the individuals that the man did not know, decided to use his truck as a weapon to stop a heart from beating, lungs from breathing, and a life from living... Okay, no emotion, no opinion. Just raw fact. My question to everyone is,,,,&quot;According to the law what do we do now?&quot;</description>

		<description>Come now, Mike, I grew up in the South - you&#039;re telling me that this kid didn&#039;t consider himself a Christian? The label &quot;Christian&quot;, in the South, is often considered equivalent to &quot;Murcan&quot;, especially among the ethnically deprived. I know a LOT of deeply, permanently, inherently racist churchgoers among white Southerners.

&quot; hate filled ... prejudice ... hate fille ... ATTENED &quot;

Dear Mike: the proper words are &quot;hate-filled&quot;, &quot;prejudiced&quot;, &quot;hate-filled&quot;, &quot;ATTEND&quot;, in that order. Also, your spacing is bad. Best check your own post before starting a grammar war.</description>

		<description>Mike,

I am sure if you tried you could see a big difference between (1) a strident blog post or (2) actually killing someone while shouting white power. 

What is worse is that you sound like you are a friend of the accused and that you don&#039;t see anything wrong with his actions.</description>

		<description>Amazing , some of these comments are just as hate filled and prejudice as the scum they&#039;re talking about .

I would also like to know what FOX news or Churches have to do with any of this . It&#039;s quite apparent that none of these spoiled hate fille brats didn&#039;t ATTENED a church or watch ANY KIND of news programming . More than likely they were glued to &quot; WRASTLIN &quot; and Jersey Shore ..

Get a life people and look in the mirror as you make your educated rants .

The parents and ancestor’s are the one’s at fault. They have continued to keep the race a factor in there children’s minds. And as soon as the economy goes bad they blame the one’s they are taught to hate.

		<description>Well, we all know what &#039;good boy&#039; means when coming from a racists family. He was a good racist. His family knew he was harrassing white kids w/black or gay friends. This did not come out of nowhere. Those descriptions of the teen and the family&#039;s sick of the race card say it all. A non racist family would be apologizing to the victim&#039;s family along w/comments such as we really did not raise him like this &amp; what can we do so other teens don&#039;t participate in such racist behavior that it leads to murder of an innocent hardworking man.</description>

		<description>God bless the Dedmon family. Or do they believe in God.I&#039;m sure the family are proud of these &quot;good old boys&#039;. Dedmon and Rankin County all have this four hundred years of racism on the brain. So much are going on in the world with the war in Afghan,starving children in Africa, and of course the economy.African-Americans don&#039;t have to worry about terrorists,they are alive and well in Mississippi.</description>

		<description>This story is a prime example of why people should contact the FBI or other law enforcement as soon as they see racist gangs operating in their towns. These groups are on the rise especially among young people and are more violent than ever. George Santayana said, &quot;Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it.&quot; Racism is a cancer on the human race and if left untreated, it will destroy humanity. If someone could have reached the racist kids when they were younger and taught them love and respect for all races this would not have happened. Remember, racism is a learned response. One is not born with racist hate, ....they are taught it. Entire communities need to be involved and take an interest in changing the people where they live in teaching the values of love and respect before the values of hate and racism destroy their communities.</description>

		<description>Normally somebody in the group would say, &quot;that&#039;s a bad idea, stop and think&quot;. This whole bunch needs to be locked up, for a long time. If Mississsippi won&#039;t do it, the Feds need to step in. Not that it matters who it was, but this victim was a working man, old enough to be their grandfather, and looks like a real nice guy. WTF.</description>

		<description>What bothers me about this case is not just the killing of James Craig Anderson by Deryl Dedmon, but the people that are defending him with bullshit excuses. A human being was killed and Dedmon&#039;s great aunt and the virulently racist Council of Conservative Citizens are coming up with excuses? This proves that some people on this planet are just plain evil. Yes, I said it. The CCC and Dedmon&#039;s great aunt are evil for excusing Dedmon&#039;s actions. I&#039;m no longer going to hold my tongue about these folks. As far I&#039;m concerned, people like Deryl Dedmon, Deryl Dedmon&#039;s great aunt, and members of CCC are a disgrace to the human race.</description>

		<description>It should also be noted that the pro-Dedmon FB page has since been deleted...seems they were (predictably) inundated with posts supporting the victims, which the page&#039;s admins clearly weren&#039;t expecting in such a high volume.</description>
