Aren't black-on-white attacks much more common on the streets than in buses, Ms. McMillan?

buses in good ole TeeOh are called the black taxis:-))))

and the majority of crime in Oakland is caused by black taxis riders:-))))

It's a given when the media refuse to release the description of the perp even though many saw him.

"The word black does not appear in this post. Thank you."

Yet everyone thinks it, EVERYONE.

Funny that.

Do you have stats for that, or is it some sort of gut feeling?

There are plenty of stats concluding that individual Black on White & Black on Black violence is overwhelmingly the racial reality across the globe.

The common denominator is that individual and small group Black violence is significantly higher than white regardless of county, politics, social status, or wealth outside of white LIBERALISM and it’s socially organized murder and repression mechanisms.

Arrest has been made of a sixteen year old African American. Suspected of setting fire to the clothes of a sleeping eighteen year old victim. No word yet if the victim will be charged with a hate crime or if the assailant felt excluded at any time.

Build a man a fire, and you warm him for a night.

Set a man on fire, and you warm him for his whole life.

Did the perp have a sufficient amount of carbon credits to do this? If not, he should go to jail.

(/sarc, obviously)

About Kate

Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.

This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."
