Since you hide behind your annonominity to attack Tookie Williams in a way that is so institutionally racist that is almost not worth commenting on (why do I feed the trolls?) I feel obligated to do a little attack myself.
You're a coward. You hide behind ideas of equality and seem to believe that racism is not a problem in this society. BULLSHIT! The fact is white europeans RAPED, BRUTALIZED, SHAMED, and utterly DESTROYED entire cultures, religions, societal orders and whole peoples in the worldwide imperialistic pursuit of filthy dirty money. Colonialism, Imperialism, its had many names over the years but plain and simple its called GREED, and it dictated what those who have (and continue to have) power and potentially violent power over others do and say via their institutions and governments.
We are a product of our history and until IDIOTS like you recognize the great injustice done on this massive level, healing can never begin. Believe it or not we don't all have the same opportunties that some of us have in this culture, and to expect everyone to be able to compete on an equal footing is outrageous. We come from different histories and experiences, both in a larger cultural sense and an individual manner, and these differences need to be taken into account. We aren't all equal. It's a fact. I wouldn't want to be considered the equal of this sick racist coward who continues to post annonymously because he (cause this is a man, a white man posting this nonsense) knows that to say such things in public innappropriate. He even hides his identity from the online community he seeks to be a part of. He is racist, perhaps even unintentionally so, but extremely institutionally racist nevertheless.
Oh, on a final note. You mention this :
"I have little remorse for those who harm innocent people. I am against the death of the innocent, not against of the death for those who would do harm to the innocent." Then take a stand with me "brother" and condemn the illegal, agressive war of occupation that has killed countless thousands of innocent Iraqis. How about it? Where are you speaking out against this instutionalized mass murder of innocent civilians we now call war and occupation. You seem to fail to mention this important difference in killing innnocents. Or is it ok cause they're not us. They don't look like us, talk like us, believe everything we do, so just like our colonial masters I'm sure you think its OK what our Troops are doing there. To think that we could bring democracy to Iraq when we don't effectively have it here is yet another example of the racist "white man's burden".
People like you are what's wrong with this world. Slave revolt..... OUT!
