Pull out the chainsaw here...

...'cause the hypocrisy's so thick here, you'd need that to cut it...

DALLAS — Black and white extremists are expected to demonstrate Tuesday in an eastern Texas town where murder charges were dropped against two white men accused in the death of a black friend run over by a vehicle and dragged beneath it.
...
Like a demonstration staged last month to protest the dismissal of charges, Tuesday's rally is likely to include the black power salutes and Nazi symbols typical of such clashes. The angry rhetoric already has begun.
"Caucasians in Paris must understand that they are the reason for Paris being the center of unsavory attention," one black protest leader, Jimmy Blackwell of the Tarrant County Local Organizing Committee, wrote in an editorial published last week in The Paris News. "We welcome the KKK because we want the world to see how real Americans act."

The KKK is representative of Real Americans? White people -- ALL the white people in Paris, no less -- are the reason for the attention the town's getting? And so many people, no doubt he included, have been telling us all not to paint people with such a broad brush? Cripes, what a thoroughgoing asshole. It brings to mind a piece of Bill Whittle's Sanctuary essay from a few years ago...
"I can't pretend to understand this. It is simply beyond my ability to grasp. Nor can I understand why so many rich people who so hate and despise this land do not simply move somewhere else."
Now how rich this bigoted asshole Jimmy Blackwell may be I do not know, but the point still stands. If he really sees that as the way things really are, if all the good is the exception to the rule...then what the hell is he still doing here?
