YO!
YO! is a collection of short pieces by the writers at Youth Outlook!
[ filed under: race-relations youth ] Official Participant in the Youth Media Blog-a-Thon I’ve had a lot of plans in my life, and so far many have fallen through. Some have because I just lose interest and some were just too ambitious at the time of conception. I can’t imagine if my plan to become a pro wrestler would have come true who I would be today: big greasy muscles stacked on top of each other, tiny speedo stretched over my bulging thighs. Yeesh. I’m glad that plan fell threw. When I heard the story about these two young boys and their ultra high concept plans to attack black Americans and their plot to kill Obama, I thought, “Wow, it’s a good thing the ATF caught these guys. They could have done a lot of damage. But the more that comes out about this story the more it seems like these kids goal of killing over 100 black people was just a very sick and sadistic pipe dream. They were unprepared and very stupid about keeping the plan quiet. Just ‘cause they didn’t have there shit together does not mean they should be punished less. I think it’s clear both of these young men need loads of help and should be put away till they get that help. What do you think young white separatists dream about? Well, killing minorities, of course. Like kids in Daytona dream of being racecar drivers, and cats dream of being lions. Unfortunate, these kids decided to take it one step past ignorant hate and stupid tattoos and move in to the concept and action stages. I don’t know when the white tuxedos and top hate came in to the plan but around that point they should have realized how asinine the whole thing was. News say, theses kids met online a month before they started to hatch this egg and promptly begun their crime spree by shooting up a church. The shells were traced back to them and their cars covered in racist words and symbols written in chalk, like a Nazi and a clansman just got married. A little sister of one of the men said she thinks her brother, even with his hate for black people, could never do the things he planned to and that she though he was sorry. I’ve done a lot of thing in my life that I am sorry for. Swinging my cat above my head when I was a little kid or making a tasteless joke at the wrong time. But ‘I’m sorry’ can only go so far. And with some thing as big as killing over 100 black people including Obama I’m sorry will go about as far there plan did… Everyone knew these types of threats would eventually come out but everyone hoped they wouldn’t. The few in this country that still hold racists and murders beliefs and intentions people of color and progressive thinking as a whole have shown how unhappy they are with the prospect of a black president. With a week left till the election and with Obama leading in all the major polls, the more desperate and angry the population of people become. This is not the first time some one has threatened Obamas life and I know it will not be the last. The fact that there is still a kind of blind hate in this country is all the more reason to change it! |
