Hurricane Katrina: Sniping Looters With Chris Kyle

We've had a bountiful serving of commentaries and ceremonies on Hurricane Katrina and a decade of ethnic cleansing and resilience in New Orleans. Former President George Bush rebuked Kanye West by nuzzling black children, the Danziger Bridge killers of Ronald Madison and James Brissette Jr. celebrated their 2011 federal convictions being trashed, and the 9th Ward got a plaque.

There's been more time reminiscing about New Orleans’ looters of yore than jabs at federal inmate, former Mayor Ray Nagin.

Between Wendell Pierce’s new book, Lil Weezyana, and the consistently vulgar Chicago Tribune… the late Chris Kyle was forgotten.

Which seems impossible considering American Sniper christened 2015 with six Academy Award nominations and grossed more $300 million. “The most lethal sniper in U.S. military history” sports a list of honors nearly equal to his number of confirmed kills. In June, he was posthumously awarded the Texas Legislative Medal Of Honor. More than 200,000 petitioners insist Kyle be awarded the Congressional Medal Of Honor, and just this summer, a Georgia Family converted seven acres of farmland to a monument for the murdered Navy Seal.

No evidence places “killer Kyle” in the Crescent City when the levees broke. But Nicholas Schmidle reports that the deified veteran bragged about notching extra kills on the flooded streets of New Orleans:

“In the days after Hurricane Katrina, he said, the law-and-order situation was dire. He and another sniper… set up on top of the Superdome, and proceeded to shoot dozens of armed residents who were contributing to the chaos. Three people shared with me varied recollections of that evening: the first said that Kyle claimed to have shot thirty men on his own.”

Perhaps if Clint Eastwood had included this scene in the fallen soldier’s biopic, he would’ve nabbed an Oscar or three. 

In his autobiography, Kyle habitually brands the people he slayed in Iraq as “despicable savages.” Identical verbiage was employed against the drowned black citizens of New Orleans. Sheri Fink writes that Former Memorial Hospital (Baptist) employee and Suspected Racist Dr. John Thiele feared “crazy Black people, who think they’ve been oppressed for all these years by White people,” would wade through toxic sludge to rape, dismember, and torture hospitalized elderly patients. Some of Dr. Thiele’s armed colleagues evoked Kyle’s spirit by threatening to shoot “looters,” “including wide-eyed children” near a hospital window. 

In Katrina: After The Flood, Gary Rivlin depicts Tulane University’s Lance Hill bearing witness as Katrina transmogrified Whites “to their original state.” Hill “watched as two White men thanked a white National Guardsman for helping to protect their city. ‘Now if you can just keep the blacks from coming back.’”

Kyle may have been absent, but local police, state troopers, National Guard, military personnel, privately contacted Israeli forces, Academi (Blackwater), and gun-toting White civilians saturated the streets of NOLA. AC Thompson conducted years of research on nearly a dozen Black people who were killed in the week following Katrina by New Orleans police officers or random White citizens. Enforcement officers alleged that Baton Rouge police targeted and molested black evacuees and branded them "'animals' that needed to be beaten down." The documentary Welcome To New Orleans records a gang of Whites gleefully admitting to carnage Kyle could only counterfeit. They picnic and reminisce about “looters” they capped after the storm. “It was like shooting pheasants.”

Banishing, hunting black bodies, terminating black life is a hallowed occasion in the history of White Supremacy. The hurricane, levee failure, and contempt for black life consumed more than a thousand black lives.

Kyle told tall tales where he added to that number.

Melissa Harris-Perry: Transracial Adoption = White Abduction of Non-White Children

Melissa Harris-Perry has a White parent. Non-white people with a White parent(s) are generally unable to accurately, honestly acknowledge the System of White Supremacy/White People. However, she is not White; she is a Victim of White Supremacy (Racism), and this report is in no way a condemnation of her.

Words, labels, and titles are used to convey power. Unfortunately, White Supremacists masterfully mold language to camouflage their domination of non-white people; Whites cleverly decree degrees and monikers to suggest that their non-white subordinates are commanders and chiefs. MSNBC’s popular weekend news segment might be named after and hosted by Melissa Harris-Perry, but she is most certainly not the most powerful person involved with the telecast. The 2014 debut episode offered a dramatic illustration.

On the December 28th, 2013 broadcast, Harris-Perry and her guests made wisecracks about 2012 Presidential candidate Mitt Romney (Racist Suspect) and his “adopted” black grandson. They snickered about a photograph depicting the lone pygmy negro swallowed by a White, Mormon phalanx, equated this to the Republican party’s actual non-white representation, and slipped in a Kanye West reference. Roughly, one hundred twenty seconds of tomfoolery.

White angst abounded. They demanded her pink slip. Branded her Racist! Called for her to be gang raped and killed. Oops, that was Zerlina Maxwell. Whites who’ve “adopted”/abducted black and non-white children chided her for even hinting that perhaps there is something incorrect about the new black being the White-adopted-black. Some hoped MSNBC would dismiss their third host of recent weeks. Harris-Perry tweeted an apology, but this wasn’t good enough; she was berated as insincere and self-centered. Whites exhorted the “tragic mulatto” to publicly grovel for White amnesty.

As Melissa Harris-Perry is not White, she - like the rest of us Victims of Racism - complied. The January 4th, 2014 show began with a whimper. Profuse mea culpas for Romney and Whites who’ve “adopted” (blindsided) non-white children. Our fiercest critics can sometimes be our best teachers.



Broadway's and Tinseltown’s finest got nothing on the theatrical prowess of aggrieved Whites when they demand contrition from a non-white person. See President Obama circa 2009. Dr. Henry Louis Gates was shackled in his residence for burglarizing his own house. The non-white “Commander and Chief” had the audacity to suggest that the White officer “acted stupidly” - reminded us of the prevalence of “racial profiling”. The immediate White brouhaha necessitated that the President publicly recalibrate his words and invite Sgt. James Crawley to the White House for a round of reconciliation brew. After the 2005 abominations of Hurricane Katrina, the breech of the levees, and White Terrorist Violence, Kanye West proposed that Pres. George W. Bush had no concern for black looters refugees citizens. During a 2010 interview with Matt Luaer (Racist Suspect), West was compelled to beg pardon for unfairly tarring the former president. More recently, Oprah Winfrey recalled an attempt to shop while black under the global System of White Supremacy. She proposed that Racism led the Swiss shopkeeper to conclude that Winfrey couldn’t afford the handbag. The global White Community lambasted Winfrey as a race-baiting, attention whore huckstering her new flick and forced her to retract her “absurd” accusation.

Whites are intolerant of non-white allegations, insinuations, or whispers of White abuse.

The Victim who is able to articulate the situation of the victim has ceased to be a victim: he or she has become a threat. - James Baldwin

The White retaliation to Harris-Perry’s innocuous prattle underscores the significance of Victims of Racism dissecting and discussing all aspects of Racism. The seething White criticism to a perceived knock on “transracial adoption”, should corroborate concerns that the White seizure of non-white children is a pivotal 21st century Racist strategy.

Hollywood has given gargantuan support to the idea of Whites invading non-white wombs, countries and continents under the guise of offering a better (white) life to children with melanin. Madonna, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Sandra Bullock, Charlize Theron, Jane Fonda, Tom Cruise, Hugh Jackman and a hoard of other White VIP Racist Suspects have fleeced non-white cradles across the globe. Common White foot soldiers have also colonized growing numbers of non-white children. Whites invest mightily in circulating the myth that they have non-whites’ best interest at heart. If this were true, they would contribute to the fortification of black and non-white families, so that no non-white child needs the charity of fertility-challenged Whites.

But this is not Mr. and Mrs. WARbucks offering a benevolent hand. "Transracial" theft is an act of White Supremacy/Racism. From Dorothy Roberts’ Shattered Bonds: The Color of Child Welfare:

All of the literature advocating the elimination of racial considerations in child placements focuses on making it easier for white people to adopt Black children. For example, a leading book on the subject states that “in the case of transracial adoption the children are non-white and the adoptive parents are white.” Transracial adoption advocates don’t mention the possibility of Blacks adopting white children. Nor do they acknowledge most race-matching in adoption involves matching white adoptive parents with white children. Child welfare agencies routinely allow whites to choose the white foster children they prefer. Stanford law professor Richard Banks argues that it is this facilitation of whites’ preferences for white children - not barriers to transracial adoption - that is mainly responsible for low black adoption rates. White people’s demand for white children isn’t seen as a [Racist] claim, whereas the position that Black children belong with Black adoptive parents is. Although the end of race-matching was defended as serving the interests of Black foster children, it has helped to create a system that protects the rights of white adults to have access to the children of their choice. (pg. 167)

If “transracial adoption” featured the likes of Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Cynthia McKinney and Kim Jong-un descending upon Appalachia to offer wretched, White urchins a leg up in life… Whites would also be using the phrase transracial abduction.

Ten [Whites] who tried to take 33 Haitian children out of the country last week without the government’s consent have been charged with child abduction and criminal conspiracy, as Haitian officials sought to reassert judicial control after the Jan. 12 [2010] earthquake.

If children are our future, Romney and his White brethren should not have our destiny in their lap.

Pretty in pink?

The Misunderstanding of Racism Part I

If you do not understand White Supremacy (Racism) - what it is, and how it works, everything else that you understand, will only confuse you.

- Neely Fuller, Jr.

To clarify, my definition of Racism/White Supremacy is:
A global system of people who classify themselves as "White" and are dedicated to mistreating/subjugating everyone they classify as not "White" for their (White people's) benefit.

I am a miseducated victim of White Supremacy. My ignorance is a principle aspect of my molestation under the system of Racism/White Supremacy. I am neither qualified nor motivated to admonish any non-white individual. I'm on the bottom of the slave ship too.

But acknowledging deficiencies is necessary. My own and those of the non-white collective - of which I am a member.

The non-whites of the known universe have displayed a stripper-skimpy comprehension of Racism/White Supremacy, which we have been subject to, tormented by for some time. Not gonna' waste time defending this statement. I'll just challenge anyone to find a non-white person who can truthfully say that they have never, don't ever encounter mistreatment on the basis of color. Should you find that individual, stop reading and put me and as many non-whites as possible in contact with this most special person.

That's what I thought. Movin' on...

Non-whites - including myself - continually evidence their minuscule grasp of White Supremacy. Por favor, examine the following statement from a victim of racism:

Whites are much smarter than non-whites but that does not mean that every white is smarter than every non-white or that every white is smart.

This statement may be true. However, finding one or eight White people, who happen to be less "intelligent" then a handful of non-whites, in no way negates the universal system of White Domination. In fact, should you find a "not-so-smart" White person, you'll get an opportunity to observe the terrifying brilliance of Racism.

Many White people have voiced misgivings about the "intellect" of Mr. George W. Bush. I've had my own doubts. But last I checked, Mr. Bush is the forty-third President of the United States. For all his reported cerebral shortcomings, he triumphed in the contested 2000 presidential election, invaded the area of the world known as Iraq and got around to New Orleans when he felt like it. Mr. Bush has shown the ability to do what he wants, and no one has shown themselves capable of stopping him. That's smart.

Mr. Bush's proficiency is very much related to his access to information, individuals, locations... a staggering system of resources.

At its core, White Supremacy is about the White collective's ability to function in an organized, codified manner for the benefit of the entire unit. White people are effective individually because they are effective collectively; non-white people are ineffective individually because they are ineffective collectively.

Marinate on that last sentence. Let's stick with Mr. Bush to illustrate the logic of this statement. Mr. Bush's grandfather - Prescott Bush - was a US Senator. Mr. Bush's father - George H. W. Bush - was a two term Vice President, a one term President and former director of the Central Intelligence Agency. Mr. Bush's brother, Jeb Bush, is the former Governor of Florida - remember all those ballot problems in the 2000 election? Mr. Bush's immediate family is a gaudy global network.

Compare this to a "smart" victim of racism. We'll take Mr. Malcolm X. His father - Earl Little - died under suspicious circumstances when Malcolm was only thirteen. Malcolm's mother - Louise Little - was the offspring of a White man raping a non-white woman; Mrs. Little was later declared insane and institutionalized for twenty-six years. Consequently, Malcolm and his orphaned siblings were parcelled out to various foster homes. This is not a system of resources. This is a menagerie of trauma.

Would a sports metaphor work better? Think Kevin Garnett. Minnesota Timberwolves are the non-white team. Boston Celtics, the White team. In Minnesota, Garnett had no help. Individually, phenomenal player. But the ineptitude of the team retarded Garnett's ability to thrive. But with the Celtics... Paul Pierce and Ray Allen provided the much needed system of resources. When Garnett finally acquired a competent and capable cadre, the collective success amplified Garnett's individual achievement.

It takes a village... Sadly, White Supremacy is the only village, community, co-op or collective in the known universe. The Racists flood, gentrify, deport and Manifest Destiny non-whites at will. And they excel at this because they function as a cohesive network of people, unified around preserving:

White

_________

Non-white

Bottom Line? Smart and not-smart White people are the "top of the line". All the non-whites are below the line, back of the bus, bottom of the boat.

Ouch. That smarts.

Part II...

Exactly what do you mean when you say "smart"?
