In Mississippi, death of politician Marco McMillian stirs old civil-rights fears
In Clarksdale, Miss. � When Marco McMillian decided to move back to his home town and run for mayor, the 33-year-old aspiring candidate knew he needed the blessing of the silver-haired oligarchy that ruled quietly from church pews. ...
Moments in Mississippi�s civil rights history: The slaying of an openly gay candidate for mayor of Clarksdale, Miss., is one of the latest high-profile issues swirling around race, civil rights and the Magnolia State.
A week and a half after McMillian�s body was found in the mud on an isolated stretch of levee outside Clarksdale, his death remains a mystery. It has roiled old suspicions and fears from Mississippi�s dark history of racial brutality, although both McMillian and the man charged with his murder are African American. ...
The Coahoma County Sheriff�s Department has charged Lawrence Reed, 22, in the crime. He told police that he killed McMillian and where to look for the body, according to two people familiar with the investigation who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss its early findings. |
A black gay kills a black gay and the Washington Post says:
1) his death remains a mystery (a black confessed. It is not a mystery. They want to use the creation of "mystery" as a Teachable Moment - a jihad on whoever created that term - to lecture straight, white men )
2) It has roiled old suspicions and fears from Mississippi�s dark history of racial brutality (a black gay killing a black gay somehow becomes a story about whites being evil)
3) is one of the latest high-profile issues swirling around race, civil rights and the Magnolia State (so they're trying to create a pivot)
BUT WAIT! It gets even more absurd!

| What role does Christianity play in the murder of the openly gay mayoral candidate in Mississippi? |
Not "Does Christianity play a role" but "WHAT role"!!
And who do they ask! A bloody Rabbi! Good god!

There is no evidence � none � that Christianity had anything to do with this hideous killing, which, whether it was �gay panic� or a lover�s quarrel gone badly wrong, was apparently a crime of passion. But that wasn�t good enough for the Washington Post, which fanned the flames of anti-religious bigotry by desperately searching for a faith angle.
A reader in the chat pointed out to Hirschfield that we don�t know Reed�s religious beliefs, if he had any at all, and whether or not they played a role in his alleged murder of McMillian. Hirschfield conceded the point, but added:
The one thing we can say, independant [sic] of knowing Reed�s mind, is that were he subjected to a great deal of homophobic teaching, it may have shaped his understanding of what is fair to do to gay people. Again, that is not always the case, but there is enough evidence for that ocurring [sic] that we need to be very careful about the language we use to describe those who may think of as sinful or �other�.
Got that? Simply living in the vicinity of the Christian religion can turn you into a stone-cold murderer. I read that in the Washington Post online. |
The Washington Post is deliberately working to create a society where Caucasians are unsafe.

| By the way, since the Washington Post wants to portray this poor bastard who got murdered as a martyr to the sins of straight white men, it's worth pointing out that a Google search shows he was a central figure in a financial scandal at Alabama A&M University a half decade ago. Judging from rumors on an alumni discussion board, it sounds like the misappropriation that led to the college president's departure was a gay thing then, too. |
