This week, I was tipped by a reader that there was some Ku Klux Klan activity being exacted on black business owners in a Midwestern town. As I traveled across the Midwest between book signings, I went to the town, to the businesses, and could hardly believe what I witnessed.
The crimes and harassment were not only going unreported, but unpunished.
We don’t always know whether anecdotal accounts are actually rooted in racism, until we see patterns. That becomes especially true when you witness it with your own eyes.
I spent a day in a town where most of the residents are white, and they are so angry at what they are told is oppression, they are intentionally destroying their own town. Prominent leaders of the KKK were instigating whites to riot not just locally, but all over the country. News media would only report the black-on-white crime, but the white-on-black crime was swept beneath the rug.
I spent more time going from black business to black business. They told me how young, white males are preying on their customers day after day. One black business owner said white kids as young as 10 years old were loitering and yelling at his customers as they walked in his restaurant. The white youth yelled, “Go back to where you came from!” and “Leave, or we will kill all of you!

Bosnians. No real attachment to American history of slave ownership. Probly havnt been here long enough to piss anyone off and yet they are victims for no other reason than they are white. Im to far away to patronize their business. Arm yourselves. Keep a lawyer on retainer and a lot of plastic sheeting and garbage bags.
ReplyDeleteWell said. One thing for sure, they need to move to a different town.
DeleteThe black is constantly causing and IN trouble both as an individual and as a group.
ReplyDeleteThey act in their animal-like, anti-social manner and riot, shoot, burn, kill and beat
just out of animal frustration, jealousy and hatred of a system which keeps telling
them they are equal while they display by their actions they are not equal but so far
below the white man that only by violence can they achieve anything at all.
WE ARE BOSNIANS. By the way, what happen to the Bosnian Mafia?

DeleteGood question as there were comments stating that there would be payback.
