Over at CrimeNe.ws I posted about the horrible story out of West Virginia about the black woman who was held captive and tortured by an obviously racist white family.
Thanks to LiLO I can now bring you the MySpace profiles of the youngest of the perpetrators Danny Combs. Not surprisingly Tom is his only friend. If Tom was black he probably wouldn’t even have him as a friend.

Ty you are ignorant. These days there are more black on white race related crimes then ever before. But African Americans don’t see that a racist do you? Africans try to play the race card every chance they get, and it is sick and pathetic. Why is there a college for black people and a million groups and organizations. Yet if a white guy does the same thing he is the racist one not you. Well that is sickening and I think you just need to deal with the fact we are all in this country together, and not everything is motivated by race, although it seems every time an African American is charged with something its a hate crime. GROW UP ALL OF YOU ESPECIALLY YOU TY. I might not have had ancestors who where slaves, but i did have some that fought for your freedom, and died for it. was it worth it? I think not, if little kids like Ty go around and give blacks a bad name. People are sick of others who use race as an excuse for anything, it is 2007. And BelchSpeak is right, it wasn’t the white man who first captured africans and sold the as slaves. GET OVER YOURSELF TY. you are nothing special, your race is nothing special. And is it surprising the first person to say something about racism is an african american. You think everything that happens is racially motivated. Well i got some news it isn’t. You are sickening Ty
Regarding why I point out that Megan Williams was an active criminal? Why is it important to you that this fact remain a secret? Because if its a secret, it makes it easier to race-bait and it helps your cause? Or by me pointing out the fact, I make it possible that this was not a hate crime, which you seem so desperately to want it to be?
Ty,
Since you seem to be lacking in education about the truths surrounding slavery, here, read this.
You’re welcome.

So she stole check and that automatically makes it not a hate crime. That makes perfect sense. Like I said, it was funny to see you try to explain why it’s so important to let the world know that she stole check. Why are there colleges for African Americans and a million groups and organizations you ask? Why are there Jewish community centers and a million groups and organizations? Why are there Italian American Organizations, and organizations for every other group in America? But I guess it’s not okay for African American to do the same thing. No, I guess not. Yeah we are all in this country together but we all aren’t treated equally. And my ancestors were fighting right along side of everyone else for that same freedom. But who was fighting along side us for our freedom. Were your ancestors fighting for equality in the 50’s and 60’s with us? I guess our freedom wasn’t worth as you say. We don’t deserve to be free or to be treated equally. Your right, it wasn’t worth it. And what I’m I using race as an excuse for? I have my own company, I didn’t let race stop me. So what am I using race as an excuse for? Six caucasian beat, turtured, and raped this girl and told her “THIS IS WHAT WE DO TO BLACKS” and that wasn’t racially motivated because it’s 2007. Your right again. In the face of threatened boycotts from civil-rights groups, Texaco settled the discrimination suit for some $176 million. Texaco agreed to pay $115 million to current and former employees covered by the suit, along with a one-time salary increase of about 11 percent, or about $26 million for current employees. The oil giant will also spend $35 million on diversity training and sensitivity programs. “Winn-Dixie Stores – $33 million; Shoney’s Shoney’s – $132.5 million; Texaco – $176.1 million and Coca-Cola – $192.5 million. No, those aren’t the latest quarterly earnings of some of America’s best-known companies. It’s the amount of money each firm has paid in recent years to settle complaints of racial discrimination”. In a lawsuit against the national largest drug store chain; Walgreen is said have assigned black managers, management trainees and pharmacists to low-performing stores and to stores in black communities, and that it denies them promotions based on race.
“Black managers are assigned to stores in black neighborhoods more often than one would expect, and black employees are not being promoted to management and within management as often as similar white employees,” EEOC regional attorney Robert Johnson said in St. Louis. But none of this is RACIALLY MOTIVATED. African American should fell right at home here. We should feel like this is the best place on earth to live. Sorry for getting it twisted. You guy have set me straight. Thnks a bunch. I’m going to go to bed and forget all about all of this racism stuff. I fell so much better now that I know the truth. You guys are the greatest. Thnks again.
CLOWNS.
I done.
I’m done
I’m not done yet. You know with that long list of discrimination suits, I guess black organizations have really perfected the “shake down.”
And you probably think something like this is a stupid hate crime too:

That tiny url was really a good article. I will post again, hopefully ppl on this thread will read it,it was very informative:

I understand what both you and Ty are saying and a lot of times these kind of conversations become so very heated bc of stereo-typing and the one person not fully understanding the other, and vice versa.
Ty, the reason ppl get tired of hearing about the “race card” is bc the younger generation of white ppl in American culture do not feel that they are responsible for what happened in American culture 150yrs. ago. They are 16, 22, 35, 55 and up. Maybe some of their ancestors were slave owners in the south but that is not who THEY are, that does not mean THEY agree with it. Don’t forget there were many white ppl who supported civil rights and got their fair share of beatings and being labeled outcasts in their own families.
It appears, I don’t want to generalize, that when SOME African Americans get into the race conversation they want to blame white ppl of today’s culture for what happened to their ancestors. That is why you hear the all-to-familiar “get over it, that was 100yrs. ago” from younger white ppl bc they feel that it is not their fault and why does the same song keep being sung when it’s not their genre.
Yes Ty, you are right, there is racism towards AA that perpetuate a violent-wonna-live-a-thug-life, where-is-my-hand-out, I-got-4-babies-Momma’s-waitin-on-me type of mentality. And this is the side the media portrays bc it is DRAMA…it feeds the American obsession of tragedy TV and tragedy lifestyle…
But not ALL AA are like that and neither are all white ppl racists if they don’t holler and scream that WVA was a hate crime issue. Belch looks at it as Megan was not the glowing pearl white victim….she hung with the big dogs…and they turned on her.
There are plenty of very educated AA and many many AA that have made invaluable contributions and/or inventions to American society, think: the Buffalo Soldiers, Tuskegee Airmen, Alexander Miles (invented the elevator)G.F. Grant(Golf Tee) the Stop Light(Garrett Morgan)..the list goes on.
Where would we be in modern society w/o some of these inventions? These ppl ROSE above their circumstances(it was a lot harder then then it is is now!!!!!)But…I digress..
See some white ppl have a different mind set than some AA’s do. Some AA consider themselves family, brothers, sisters, etc..even if they don’t know each other. White ppl don’t. If a white person is acting stupid and robbing a bank I’m not gonna cover for you or turn my head just bc the person is white. I’m gonna tell the cops every detail I know. If I live in a crime riddled commuinity and my kids are accosted everyday by drug dealers and thugs…I’M NOT STAYING..!!!!
Ty you said you have a business, that’s great, not many ppl can say that , of any race. You are doing something with you life that will hopefully impact your family and community in a positive way. Well, while you are being positive try to take that and start to look at white ppl differently. You have been sold an opinion and mindset that the whiteman is holding everyone down….I don’t see the AA women being held down. AA women are taking a stand and fighting for what they want in their lives and the quality of life they want to have regardless of what their own race is saying about them(think gangster rap, hip-hop).
I noticed you said all the “white” corporations had made all their millions on slave money. How are all the ganster rap and hip-hop conglomerations making all their money? Where is there positive message to their community? Who’s buying all this black culture music? Why is the music about raping women, doing drugs, getting all the money they can, and misogyny…just downing AA women in every song….and their are dumb white women who allow that mess too(I have NO TIME for them)…..
IMO we all have a lot of work to do in our own races and cultures, no matter what color you are.
IMO ranting about whose fault it is is falling on deaf ears….RESULTS is what shuts ppl up.
The point with Bobby and Megan is that he is white and she is black and they were both two consenting adults in the past. THen one day, it all turned the corner. Obviously he and his family are crazy murderers and she should have disconnected from them when she read the writing on the wall a long time ago.
She was victimized and they’ll be found guilty and get everything they deserve and hopefully more…but if you want to keep her a victim I suggest not bringing in Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson bc then all her dirty laundry will be on display and then surely this will become racial and the media will have gotten just what they wanted, ratings.
Seoul Girl,
That was so well written and has a clarity that I could not convey. Thanks for adding to the discussion.
