Boneheads

Racial turmoil is bad enough today without people pouring gasoline on the fire but apparently there are some firebugs who just can't help themselves. The Black Lives Matter crowd is mad at the police.  Police supporters are mad at the Black Lives Matter Crowd.  The media eats it up because it loves a controversy and race wars drive ratings.  Enter the firebugs:


WIVB (Buffalo) reported:

Students at the University at Buffalo found signs reading “White Only” posted near restrooms and water fountains Wednesday morning.

“It brought up feelings of the past of a past that our generation has never seen which I think is why it was so shocking for us to see,” said Micah Oliver, the President for the Black Student Union.

He said emotions were running high as the club had more than 100 students turn out to their regular meeting Wednesday night to discuss the signs.

“There was fear expressed, anger, disappointment – all of that,” said Oliver.  Article.
 Students were upset as some saw a re-emergence of the Klan, segregation, and all things white power.   However, campus newspaper The Spectrum shed some more light on the matter and reported the signs were posted by a Black student:


A UB graduate art student has admitted to hanging the ‘White Only’ and ‘Black Only’ signs seen in Clemens Hall Wednesday as part of a class project.

Ashley Powell, a graduate fine arts student, while standing in front of a group of more than 70 students at a Black Student Union (BSU) meeting Wednesday evening, admitted to hanging the signs.

Powell declined to be interviewed but submitted a statement to The Spectrum Thursday night. The full statement can be read here.

“I apologize for the extreme trauma, fear, and actual hurt and pain these signs brought about,” Powell said in the statement. “I apologize if you were hurt, but I do not apologize for what I did. Once again, this is my art practice. My work directly involves black trauma and non-white suffering. I do not believe that there can be social healing without first coming to terms with and expressing our own pain, rage, and trauma.

Powell said she might be open to an interview eventually. Article

That is real bright.  How about I create similar "art" here in Jackson.  I think I will walk over to George Elementary and put a noose on a tree or maybe Beth Israel and place a couple of ovens in front of the Synagogue.  Healing needs to take place but first we must understand suffering before we can heal because that is what we must do because too much of this is ignored by our racist society.  Do you think anyone will appreciate the "art" or understand what I was trying to do? Didn't think so.

This campus idiot probably hits herself in the head with a hammer because her head will feel better when she stops.   She also probably thinks the way to help someone heal from trauma is to cause trauma.  Please, don't let this woman near an emergency room and damn sure don't ever let her become a therapist.   However, such tomfoolery is not limited a dumb black college students.  White folks can pull the same stunt as well and even make some money as well.  KDFW (Dallas) reported:

A Central Texas man who claimed anti-police vandals had attacked the family pickup truck has been arrested after police believe he vandalized the truck.

Scott Lattin, a disabled veteran, told Whitney police on Sept. 8 someone tagged his truck with "Black Lives Matter" and other graffiti because he displayed pro-police messages and symbols on his pickup.
 
But on Friday afternoon, Whitney police arrested Lattin on a misdemeanor charge of making a false police report.

"Very disturbing," said Whitney Police Chief Chris Bentley.

Bentley said the investigation turned to Lattin because after FOX4 first broke the story.
"We had initial video when the officers took the report and then when we saw your story on Channel 4. When we looked at those two videos, there were some differences in those and that led us to take the investigation into a different direction,” Bentley said.

Bentley said when they took the report there was no damage to the inside of the truck. But when FOX4 showed up, Lattin showed that the glove box was ripped off and the seats slashed.

Lattin denies the charges by police that he vandalized his own vehicle, telling FOX4, "That's absolutely not true! Absolutely not true."

But Lattin's arrest warrant affidavit said Lattin admitted damaging the inside of his vehicle for insurance reasons.

Police say they're not looking for any additional suspects. More charges against Lattin, including felonies, could be filed.

"We have so many groups that have participated and come to Whitney, Texas of all places to help these people-- and for them to have been deceived? It's just wrong!” Bentley said.

Lattin's neighbor Levonda Bradshaw was suspicious from the very beginning, because they have a fenced in property with dogs that bark at everyone that comes near there.

Word began to spread quickly in the small town of about 2,000 residents of Lattin’s arrest.

"Oh this just makes me sick! This is just wrong,” said Marty Rosseau, Whitney resident.

A Lattin family relative started a Go Fund Me account to help pay for repairs to the truck. In addition, car dealers and body shops even offered to help.

The police chief is asking people to stop sending the family money. He's working with the district attorney's office to see how to handle the Go Fund Me account that raised nearly $6,000 and hopes to get the money back to duped donors. Article and video.


Dear police: Throw the book at this guy.  He used y'all and tried to make some money off of good ole-fashioned race-baiting.  There is enough tension right now between minorities and the police without losers such as this one stirring things up just so he can get some pocket change and attention.  Dear Judge: Please sentence this guy to community service in an area where he is the only white guy for miles around in all directions.    Let the punishment fit the crime. Please.

Just for starters, why is there a Black Student Union anyway? Why is there a black Miss America pageant? Those are true examples of racial prejudice

Meanwhile, a white kid put a rope on a statue and is now in federal prison. I guess he should have said it was 'art' as well. The double standard in this country is sickening.

Good point, 11:57. No one is covering that. A kid from Georgia comes to Mississippi and puts a noose on the Meredith statue. What are the headlines? Racism is alive and well in Mississippi. Little mention that the kid is from Atlanta. No mention that the university erected a statue to Meredith for his bravery. It's all klansmen and lynching in Oxford. So implieth the east coast ivory tower media.

The result? A stupid kid pulling a dumb prank is in prison. His life is ruined largely to satisfy the blood lust of liberals who consider this the pinnacle offense.

So now there are white only signs found in Buffalo. I have no idea if Buffalo ever segregated water fountains, but if they did, it was close to a century ago...well before any of the current student body (and probably most of the faculty) were born. Yet, the knee-jerk reaction is worry that one isolated incident is a sign of institutional racism galloping back.

No mention of a generation of civil rights laws, no mention of decades of progress, no mention of a black president, two black SC justices, and a multitude of black elected officials nationwide, from Main Street to Capitol Hill. No. A couple of signs in one building in one university is cause for hand wringing and gnashing of teeth and mobilization to stop this!

And then it turns out to be a black student. The result? In the words of Emily Litella, "Never mind!"

Liberals are the ultimate hypocrites.

Remember that noose hanging on a tree on the campus of Duke University back in the spring? They found the person responsible but didn't disclose the name or color of the person.

Wonder why...

1:15, DEAD ON! AWESOME!

Let us never forget that the left has figured out Race is a business, and unless they do everything they can to keep fomenting outrage (real or feigned), that money stream will dry up!

Along that same line, Mississippi is involved in a lot of that. After all, our 3 major industries are food, music, and race. Without constantly looking backwards, this State has nothing.

Tom Dooley said...

Two candidates were hung in effigy during a presidential election cycle ten years ago. One candidate was a black male. One candidate was a white female. A cadre of federal investigators from The Justice Department was dispatched to investigate one incident. The other received very little notoriety.

Burke said...

Ignoring the ever-cynical media, go to the campus and talk to the first black student you see, and the strong probability is that he or she thought it was something stupid to begin with. Only the hysterical would imagine that the Klan was rising again in upstate New York. Or whoever wrote or posted the story. You just want to cry.

At A Glance... said...

Either that boy at Ole Miss had piss poor counsel or the world has gone crazy. The notion that he actually had a motive to threaten black students and staff is preposterous. And, further, the notion that any black person was or perceived to have been threatened by that prank is pure damned nuts.

I'm sure Dan Jones sleeps well at night knowing a kid is doing time somewhere for hurting a statue's feelings. After all, we must have our priorities.

Thank God and Greyhound Dan Jones is history.

A college boy places a piece of rope on an inanimate object and that's prison-worthy? Insane!

Sacrifices Must Be Made... said...

The boy was sacrificed at the feet of political correctness. His life, reputation and future are of no consequence in the larger picture. His family should be proud that he was chosen to be a sacrificial lamb. In short, he is expendable. The court system paid its dues to the race-hucksters.

Oh.....is there a chance that the president will pardon him?

Ophelia said...

I am with Burke about ignoring the sky-is-falling media kerfuffle, but I part ways with him on the "you just want to cry" part. What one wants to do is...roll one's eyes. THE GODDAMN NOOSE ON THE GODDAMN STATUE WAS A GODDAMN COLLEGE PRANK, no more, no less. That...is...all it was, *en fin de compte.* If the anguished and terrified black students want to get even, well, Hell's bells, let 'em go desecrate William Faulkner's statue up there, by whatever means they choose. As long as the "means" they choose is harmless and removable, like a piece of rope, they should go unpunished...as this hapless frat-boy wag should have done.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
