How to get a mind jolt at how racist terms are used for black men and not for far more heinous white criminals: >....no one had to gin up evidence of his wicked character, or post facto justifications for why he should be killed by officers of the state. Ill bet Im the first person to label him a thug or a brute or an animal. Thats because the use of those terms have been reserved for young African American males of late. These terms, such as thug, are acceptable code words for a certain racial slur that starts with the letter N. They are used to reinforce racial stereotypes among whites regarding African Americans - that they are criminals, a brutish, dangerous, amoral, drug infested people who represent a threat to civil society. >So while Eric Williams is one sick, evil SOB, he does have the color of his skin going for him. You wont hear of any Fox News host or right wing radio jocks calling him a thug. They probably wont mention him at all, and if they do, there wont be any discussion of white on white crime. They sure as hell wont touch the subject of his gun collection, which is every white Americans God given right under the second amendment....>
