Here is a story that faces right up to the elephant in the living room. Race.
The National Alliance is convinced that the reason Jessie Marie Davis is dead is because her boyfriend and accused killer, Bobby Cutts Jr., is black.
Last week, the separatist group, which has an office in Parma, distributed fliers in Stark County bearing images of Davis and Cutts, as well as O.J. Simpson and Nicole Brown Simpson, warning white women that interracial dating can be hazardous to their health.
I hate to tell you this, Mr. White Supremacist Hatemonger, ANY sort of dating can be hazardous to women's health. Any sort of interaction with any member of the opposite sex can lead to murder and mayhem. It's one of the risks we take, like crossing streets and climbing ladders. There are many inter-ethnic marriages that do work, lovingly and peaceably, forever. Your purpose in placing these fliers is to inflame, period. You are trying to turn this situation into a racial case, when it is truly a case of a player killing to escape the responsibility for his games. Players come in all colours, all religions, all ethnicities. Every cultural group in our modern world is succeeding in raising a lot of men who choose not to grow up and accept the responsibility for their actions. Race, creed or colour got nothing to do with it.
National Alliance spokesman Erich Gliebe told a Repository reporter that the fliers were a “public service,” that Jessie Davis was tragically “uneducated” about the dangers of race-mixing.
What Jessie Davis was tragically uneducated about was the fact that guys LIE. Guys will tell a girl ANYTHING in order to get their sex fix and their dependency fix. And women like Jessie are grist to their mill.
Last week, Stark County NAACP President Monique Conner correctly tagged the group for what they are: Opportunistic outsiders trying to contaminate this community by dumping their particular brand of ignorance on top of an already tragic situation.
Really. As if this case didn't generate enough controversy, with Bobby being a cop, and Jessie having a second child with him, and his divorce, and relationship with the actress, etc., etc., etc.
The question we need to ask is why this group thinks that stirring a dollop of racism into the case is a good thing.
If the races were reversed and Bobby were white and Jessie were black, the race card would most certainly be played.
ReplyDeleteEither way, my point is, why should it? There are enough documented cases of men killing their wives, girlfriends, children's mothers, etc., to validate the fact that this happens, regardless of skin colour or ancestry.
ReplyDeleteThe fact remains that the situation was not reversed, and Jessie was, if not killed, certainly disposed of by her child's father.
ReplyDeleteDisgusting, no matter what your racial orientation.
If you truly want to find the potential racism in this case, it's that if the races were reversed, we most likely never would have heard about the case at all, or very little.
ReplyDeleteThe National Alliance (interesting, I had a typo that started "National Ass . . . " --Freudian slip?) apparently has said that they'll be here everyday that the trial is here. Greeeaaaattt.
ReplyDeleteThey're from a different town too, not even from here (thankfully!). Obviously trying to stir things up racially here which I hope they will fail to do. So far it hasn't worked.
The case is SO NOT about race!!
No, it's about a two-bit asshole player and what he thinks he's entitled to!
ReplyDeleteHe will never get it, never understand.
It was the same with the O.J. trial.....play the race card...get the camera off of Cutts. Guilty as charged. Has nothing to do with color. He wanted 'out' of their so-called relationship. I haven't been watching Court Tv for the past month, but I'm anxious to see how this unfolds.
ReplyDeleteNothing about it on Court TV. You have to go to their online message boards.
