Our view: Hope emerges from U.S. hate-crime data
December 13, 2012 at 6:00 pm in Duluth News Tribune
Racial prejudice may seem to be running rampant in the Northland over at least the past two years, with an effigy of President Obama hung over a billboard on Election Day in Duluth and the charging of a bias crime on the Iron Range later in November among the far-too-many troubling incidents.

Wait…..I thought racism was running rampant throughout society, dragging minorities back to the Jim Crow era?
Check the data again…..there’s gotta be a way for the Unfair causeheads to spin this into an offensive billboard.

Duluth has an activist publisher who is baiting stories. With absolutely zero evidence the effigy was racial it is being portrait as such.

If you can’t find real evidence, make something up. Do what you do best.

Winner and Bob~ You two seem to show up on every single thread on racism…and always with same angle..dismissing and checking for racism by denying it…it’s clear you both have an agenda…
You also both always are constantly bending over backwards to check for it with the most ldiotic and ludicrious angles …all in attempt to deny theres’ any racism.
Winner~ Hate crime though indicitive of racism doesn’t mean because stats down one year that there’s no racism, in fact there were still almost 6,000 hate crime incidents..hello?. ..if drug arrests are down one year that doesn’t mean less people are doing drugs…if homocide stats drop one year doesn’t mean there isn’t any violence in this society….you are as always do on this topic, twisting things beyond reality…it’s clear that’s your intent and agenda.
Bob…and you’re defending a lynching effigy of a black man by saying since nobody caught that we don’t know for sure was white….and we don’t know it was racial for sure….oh pleeze spare us…
In last decade white supremacist groups have in fact targeted Duluth as prime recruiting ground. We have numerous white supremacist group headquarters in surrounding area and fastest growing white supremacist group in country in Minnesota and almost in our back yard. There’s a youth group on UMD campus founded and funded by white supremacist group and on SPLC hatewatch list. UMD in fact had numerous racist incidents in last year, In last month we’ve had three racist blackface incidents of whites doing degrading racist blackface portrayals of blacks. The unfair campaign billboards were defaced with racist slur. A white supremacist group held demonstration at city hall over unfair campain….and here’s the huge part….the majority of this town wailing about the unfair campaign and claiming there’s no racism towards blacks today and that it’s whites that are discriminated against…are THE EXACT SAME arguments and talking points of white supremacist groups…but lawdy no, there’s no racism in this culture at all towards blacks and those touting same arguments as white supremacists would know there isn’t …because they’re white..~rolls eyes~ …which solely by itself is racist…blacks aren’t allowed a voice, aren’t allowed an opinion without whites drowning them out and ignoring them…that’s racism…
IF there was no racism then every single white would understand the unfair campaign message and take for what it is…statement of undeniable fact. IF there was no racism then everyone would ralleye behind the unfair campaign and any effort to make sure racism really doesn’t exist….not constantly bash it, deny it, try to whitewash it….again, that’s what white supremacists do…NOT what non racist whites do. IF there was NO racism then every white would be upset that there were still almost 6000 unnecessary hate crimes last year, they would be horrified that there were public dispays of whites in blackface pushing racist stereotypes in their very town, mortified that there was a lynched effigy of a black man…anywhere…let alone in THIS TOWN.
But not you two….and not a lot of people in this town…because there’s no racism here…that’s why this town has it’s very own code word in fact for blacks and every single person in town knows what it means….SMH!!
All evil needs to triumph is for good men to do nothing…
