Where Race Baiting Leads Us

An absolutely disgusting story out of Texas:

Racial divisions have surfaced in the town of Cleveland, 40 miles north of Houston, ever since last Thanksgiving’s alleged gang rape of an 11-year old Hispanic girl.

Most of the 17 suspects accused of sexually assaulting the preteen girl are black. And on Thursday night, community activist Quanell X hosted a rally there.

…”She lives in another community,” Quanell X told the gathering. “You mean to tell me the only men that had sex with that girl were black men, locked up in that jail?”

The activist cast blame on the parents of the alleged victim, whom some describe as a willing participant in the sexual activity, at least initially…

You can see a television report about the rally and the larger case here – the video is more nauseating than the print report. So, what do we have?

A little girl who can’t consent to sex – not even “initially” – is brutally raped. An investigation ensues and suspects are arrested and charged…but because the girl is hispanic and the accused are black, race-baiters in the black community – purely in it to gain un-earned power and wealth for themselves – are setting an entire community on edge.

Perhaps the little girl was being badly raised by her parents. It is certain that the perpetrators were badly raised by theirs. But this isn’t a racial issue – this is a moral issue. A wrong thing was done to a person and those who did it must pay. But such a simple exercise of justice doesn’t allow a hustler like Quanell X to make any money or fame off the deal…he has to interject himself and his only means of doing that is to start calling the cops KKKers and blaming the victim and her family for what the criminals did.

But one cannot blame Quanell X (who almost certainly wasn’t given that name by his parents…but “X” just works so much better when you’re running the same scam that Malcolm ran); it has been made just too easy. With people like Malcolm X, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton leading the way, there was no chance that other people wouldn’t try it. Stir up racial hatred, blame whitey, liberals start falling all over themselves to both praise you and ensure you get money. Quanell is just keeping to the script.

But we people who are not trying to scam anyone and only want to see justice done have to bring a halt to this – we cannot forever allow people like Quanell to stir up racial hatred because they would rather con people out of money than get a real job. People end up dying because of this sort of nonsense. Perhaps a solution would be to change libel laws in regards to accusations of racism – make it easier for someone accused of such to prevail in court, thus making race-baiters more wary of hurling the accusation? Just a thought – but we do have to bring an end to this.
