This anti-Black hate is pervasive on HP/blogosphere. If targets were White ethnic group and comments were less explicit and "implied" even lesser derogation, they'd never make it through the automatic filter.
The evidence? We hardly ever see such things said about White ethnics here/elsewhere (Except on extremist sites with no Liberals and Whites subject to biased or hateful comments have powerful organizations ACTIVELY monitoring sites).
That's ALSO evidence Blacks are overwhelmingly victims/ targets of such hate and discriminatory profiling, AND infliction of emotional and mental distress. YET, others pretend that "it's all the same." Then how come those Whites have enough power to make sure it doesn't happen to them BUT keeps happening to us?
e.g., Do they really think if Joe Lieberman was President, the kind of group-based hate and paranoia directed at Obama would be permitted to run rampant on mainstream broadcasts, including Rush Limbaugh on Disney-owned ABC, or Clear Channel, etc. let alone on Fox and mainstream media.
THAT's ALSO why TRAYVON MARTIN's MURDER is so painful to us. We not only feel the pain knowing it happens all the time AND WE TOO could be the victim, BUT we must endure this Conservative hate non-stop and the failure/unwillingness of mainstream society/media to do anything about it.
They therefore contribute to our image as "inferiors" who deserve such treatment. Sickening and sad.
