autumnluv143***BE WARNED! LINKS ON THIS ENTRY MAY BE OFFENSIVE AND NOT SUGGESTED FOR OPENING AT WORK!!***
This morning, I was looking up information on a boy who was killed in New Orleans, by his own father, because the man didn't want to pay child support. Slash his son's throat and dumped him in the park and then had the brass balls to report him missing, setting of Amber alerts. The mere idea that someone could slash any 2yr old's throat is disturbing enough, let alone that evil, twisted soul be the boys own father. I thought that would be as disturbed as I would get this morning. That heart-breaking and nauseating story.
Unfortunately, I took the search off of wwltv.com website and moved it to google so I could read the older stories as they progressed. That is when I happened upon one of the most disturbing things I've ever seen. The headline read, "New Orleans Nigger kills Nigglet son over child support." Um. Wow. I'm not easily offended or sickened. But there are lines, yanno? That headline did both in the millisecond it took to process what that line meant. I live in the south, the preported center for all things racial and redneck and backwards. I'm not just offended and sickened, I'm shocked. Whole-heartedly and utterly shocked. Not by the use of the word or the fact that there is racism. I made the very sad mistake of clicking on the link after staring at it in massive disbelief. Surely, what I was seeing couldn't be right. I was appalled by the comments from the users on the story. I couldn't bring myself to read more thant he first page, but believe me, it was more than enough.
I have a strong dislike for people who choose stupidity over informed, intelligent decisions and words. It flies over my head when someone can feel such loathing and abomination for someone else, simply because of a religious affiliation or race, heritage, sexual orientation or skin color. Why should we be fighting this in 2009? In this situation, I say "we" because it is a fight for all of us. Just because you say you are not a racist or bigot doesn't mean that it's ok for you sit back and let that stuff happen. But that's all the preaching I'm doing in this post. I'm too shocked.
If you have a strong stomach and can stand seeing the worst imagineable thoughts regarding the horrific death of a 2 yr old boy, go visit it. But be prepared for comments about 'hooray! They put a stop to hundreds more nigger babies by killing that one off"
*shudders* I don't want to live in that world. It frightens me and makes me worry that they are breeding themselves.
