Commentary: Recent Tragedies Prove that Gun Violence Isn’t Just a Black, Urban Problem – It’s Everyone’s
Date: Tuesday, October 03, 2006
By: Tonyaa Weathersbee, BlackAmericaWeb.com
This wasn’t supposed to happen here. Then again, this isn’t supposed to happen anywhere.
Two days ago, a one-room schoolhouse, tucked away in the idyllic, grassy folds of Pennsylvania's Amish country, was turned into an execution chamber when a gunman yielded to old demons and shot 10 young Amish girls before killing himself. Five of the girls died.
The week before, another gunman slipped into a Colorado high school, captured six girls and killed one. The siege ended when he killed himself.
Also that week, a student in rural Wisconsin, apparently fed up with being bullied, acted out his frustration on the school principal. He shot him to death.
Predictably, people are, once again, scrambling for answers to deal with this plague of school violence -- the kind that struck terror into the hearts of suburbanites back in 1999 when two social misfits and Nazi admirers, Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris, massacred 12 people at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado. Psychologists are getting much air time analyzing the patterns of such killers, and security firms are betting on higher stock prices.
But while I, like any other person with a pulse, empathize with those who have been personally touched by the tragedies of school shootings, I can’t offer a solution as much as I can point to a lesson.
That lesson being that isolated, middle-class white communities don’t provide an escape from the gun violence that is used to characterize -- and to stereotype -- black urban communities. And the idea that one can deal with fears of violence by simply moving away from black people is an idea that should have been shot to hell -- pardon the pun -- at least since the Columbine massacre.
It still persists, though.
With the exception of the Amish, whose isolation and old-fashioned ways are part of their religion, many of the people who move to places such as Littleton and Bailey, Colorado are part of a new wave of white flight. For this group, fears of crime and its associated pathologies lead them to leave cities when they become too black or Hispanic. So they move to the suburbs and exurbs, where they settle in and vote for George W. Bush.
What they don’t realize, or what they don’t care to realize, is that when they flee and deplete the tax base, the problem that they claim to be escaping becomes worse. Much of the violence, especially the homicides, among young black men is spawned by turf wars over the drug trade -- the only occupation some of them believe is available to them since many of the legitimate jobs have been outsourced to the suburbs or overseas.
But here’s the thing: While black males have higher rates of homicide than white males, we know that much of that problem can be cured by putting energy into creating jobs. We know that much of that problem stems from issues of disrespect and devaluation, not psychosis. Instead of dealing with that, however, many people would rather view it as an inevitable consequence of being poor and black. And so, they move away.
And in doing so, many of them underestimate the propensity for violence in the white people around them.
Notice, for example, how Klebold and Harris, as well as Duane Morrison, the Bailey high school shooter; and Charles Carl Roberts, the Amish school shooter, killed themselves after committing murder. That should draw attention to the fact that white males commit suicide at higher rates than any other group. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, they account for 73 percent of all suicides and 80 percent of all firearm suicides.
But more than that, it should also draw more attention to the fact that suicide is no longer just a personal thing; that now, a white guy with suicidal tendencies and access to a gun might want to take a few people with him.
We’ve seen it happen.
No doubt, the school shootings are tragic. And this column is not an attempt to blame the victims, but a means to get people to see that there is no escape or safe place from gun violence. It is everyone’s problem.
One that could be dealt with if stereotypes weren’t allowed to get in the way.

Yet, supposedly there's such a lack of unskilled workers that half of Mexico has to come here to supply the need?

Oh, here's a nice one...Amish and KIKE comparisons.
http://www.spectator.org/dsp_article.asp?art_id=10440
I think of the terrified girls in their little Amish dresses, bound, lined against the schoolhouse wall, and executed, and I cannot help but immediately draw a parallel to Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl and to the nearly 3,000 who perished at the hands of other men seeking to settle old scores by preying on the innocent.
Those little Amish girls died for what, not who, they were. A man who reportedly felt he'd been wronged by a little girl in the past sought his revenge not on the girl who'd wounded him, but on a proxy. Daniel Pearl died because he was Jewish. The victims of 9/11 died because they were associated in the minds of the terrorists with American power.
ummmm...Amish withdraw from the society the kikes try and subvert.

To imply that creating more jobs would help niggers is hilarious.
A nigger would much rather sell crack rocks on a street corner than get any kind of job.
What they really mean is create some "jobs" where niggers don't have to work and can sit on their monkey asses and collect a check every week.

BTW, Harris and Klebold were Kikes, and associated with anti-racist groups.

I hear Homeland Security and FEMA are expanding. To...protect us from the evildoers.
Airport Security, HighRise Security, Administration Offices, Training and Support, etc.
So they can sit on their monkey asses and collect a check every week.

This reminds me of yet another apropos and factual cartoon:
I agree with Geoff's observation. Even the monkeys who know how to type don't understand even the most basic precepts of statistics. If we were make a conclusion based on the DOJ's admittedly flawed (counting mexis as whites) numbers, incidents such as the Amish school shoot-em-up could be considered "outliers" when taken within the context of the white population as a whole. Among blacks, however, "gun violence" is an affliction that can be mathematically shown to afflict the so-called "black community" at a far higher rate than the population at large. The information I found here is admittedly dated, but nonetheless reveals the reality about blacks and guns:
http://www.mppgv.org/introduction.htm
hile gun violence touches all of our lives, certain demographic groups are at a more extreme risk. For example:
Gun violence continues to occur at alarming rates among black Americans: at 21.8 per 100,000, the 1998 death rate for injuries by firearms among black Americans was nearly double that of the population at large. Young black males are particularly at risk. For 15-19 year olds, firearm deaths occurred at a rate of 75.5 per 100,000, for 20-24 year olds-- 133.0 per 100,000, and for 25-29 year olds-- 93.7 per 100,000. Statistically speaking, in 1998, black males aged 15-29 were roughly 4 times as likely to die by firearm injury than white males of the same age.
Regardless of what monkeys perched behind word processors may believe, gun violence IS largely a nigger problem. Impulsive, low-IQ beings, when in possession of something as potent as a gun, naturally makes for grave trouble. It really raises my ire when nigger op-ed chimps like Mr. Weathersbee swing down from their affirmative action-granted branches and begin flinging poo at white newsreaders in the wake of any outlying white-perpetrated crime. They opportunistically use these events in an attempt to make THEIR glaring problems into OUR problems, in addition to smearing us with the same excrement-dipped brush with which they insanely believe they have been unjustified painted with.

The gooberment is already showing great interest in expanding the ever-increasing paranoiac security baloon to completely smother the public fool system. I saw shrub on a televitz mumbling something about expanding school security here recently. Now certainly has to be the worst time ever to be trapped within the bowels of one of the foulest bureaucracies (the U.S. Public School System) the world has ever seen.

yes, a couple of school shootings that pop up on rare occassion compared to the war zone like atmoshere in the black urban communites, prove that point perfectly.
With the exception of the Amish, whose isolation and old-fashioned ways are part of their religion, many of the people who move to places such as Littleton and Bailey, Colorado are part of a new wave of white flight. For this group, fears of crime and its associated pathologies lead them to leave cities when they become too black or Hispanic.
Is this guy going to explain to us why white flight is such a common occurance when these communites start getting browner and why there is this fear of crime? Oh yeah, probably just some more racist stereotpes that have no basis in reality.
And since a couple of school shootings have taken place that proves, I guess that they are in no more danger in a gang, drug and violence infested urban black community.
Is this guy really this stupid or is he just pretending? Oh, wait he is a nigger.

Recent Tragedies Prove that Gun Violence Isn’t Just a Black, Urban Problem – It’s Everyone’s
If a man dies being stung by a stingray it doesn't acquit all the men-eating sharks.
Just as modern mass production requires the standardization of commodities, so the social process requires standardization of man, and this standardization is called equality.

That's a great aphorism. It really reveals the bogus logic upon which this nigger op-ed piece was predicated.

If this moron were to do a serious investigation of crime in the light of race, he would likely be shocked and amazed at his bretheren's knack for crime. DOJ puts out stats year after year, the Uniform Crime Report. They count Hispanics as White in the offender category, so that just inflates the stats of White crime they put out, making any statistic on White crime invalid. However, it still proves beyond a shadow of a doubt, year after year, that blacks are far more prone to violence than Whites.
