Usenet groups are constantly infested with racist troll posts.  Most
of these are just ill-concealed attempts to sow disruption, but some
are indeed from demented racist types.  So, as in the past, I will say
the obvious, in a perhaps vain attempt to reform and educate the
offender (this post is a minor modification of a scolding administered
to an mn.general troll):

You seem to believe yourself superior to minorities, such as
African-Americans.  That view is incorrect; you are superior to no
one.  Please modify your world view to fit this fact.

Your recent post (mn.general) blames African-Americans for urban
violence.  Urban violence is as old as cities themselves and is not
unique to any  particular group.   I live in a nearly all-white
community and there are crimes of all types committed here.  Your
thesis that violence in the city is the fault of African-Americans is
off the mark entirely.  Almost all crimes are committed by a tiny
group of criminals--this is the case no matter what the setting, rural
or urban, and no matter what the demographic makeup of the population
is.  There are many middle and upper class African-American
communities in the US, with low crime rates, too.  I doubt if that is
enough to please you; I suspect that you would hate minorities no
matter what the circumstances--you will find imagined fault to make
yourself feel good.


Your racist remarks and insults are, I think, motivated by
neurological impulses.  James Earl Jones has remarked, when addressing
a Spike Lee statement that racists are evil, that "no, it makes them
feel good."  He went on to say that this is a medical issue.  You, the
racist, have it within yourself to recognize this and change your
thought patterns.  Find what is good and true--reject this stupid,
sick racist nonsense.  You will find that your whole life will change
for the better once you discard your negative neural wiring.


There are no significant genetic or biological differences between any
two races on this planet--that is a scientific fact.  But, suppose
that there were.  That would still not justify your venom and hatred
towards that group.  Overcome your fear of those different in mere
appearance or belief than you.  Hatred is a refuge of the coward and
weakling.



It amazes me that minorities, after repeated insults from racists like
you, continue to turn the other cheek.  I suspect that this will not
last forever.
