Wow, really?

"Media, news, and information for White people against White genocide."

 

Now folks, anyone who has known me for any period of time (Or who has read more than a couple of my blogs) knows that I just ain't right in the head. I am a major oddball who seldom sees the world the way most other people do. Most people look at a situation and think Duck. I look at it and think Gizzards. As my Daddy might have said, “I'm a bit teeched in the head.” This often leads me to strange thoughts or tangents that make a lot of people go, “Who da, What da, HUH?”

Take the above article link. Now the actual story is a sad one where a man essentially beat another man to death and got off with a minor slap on the wrist. The article itself is more than a tad racist, but what do you expect from a website called The White Voice? I mean it sells books like Murdering Multiculturalism and has the tag line of “Media, news, and information for White people against White genocide. “ I shift you not. It uses the rather graphic term “African Beast” to describe the attacker. Now most people with any self respect would be up in arms over the combination of African and Beast. Not little old me.

I have always had problems with people being described as “beasts” or “monsters” or even “inhuman.” We use these terms to describe men and women who do things that completely and utterly shock us to the very core of our being. We do this because we simply cannot imagine any human being committing the kinds of atrocities we have seen done over our history. We paint them as something other than us to help us grasp what was done.

The problem with this is it gives both them and us an out. A man who had millions murdered isn't a man, he is a monster. We can feel better about ourselves because no true human being would ever do such a thing. Making them something less then human makes us feel better about ourselves and our race.

The problem lies in the simple fact that they are human, just like you or me. They aren't demons sent from the bowels of Hell to do horrendous things in the world of man. They aren't shadowy beasts flitting at the edges of the light killing over and over again. Hitler, Stalin, Dahlmer and all of the other bloody figures that haunt our nightmares were all 100% human beings.

Calling them Monsters and such gives us an out. We don't have to imagine us doing things like that because we are humans and they are Beasts. We can shrug our shoulders and shake our heads thinking, “Well, what do you expect from monsters?” We can politely ignore the elephant in the room that carries a flag that reads, “Whups, no they are humans just like you.”

People that commit atrocities are horrible people and they should be despised, but we have to understand that despite their crimes they are still humans. Until we understand this, we run the risk of even more evil being done. We need to stop hiding behind descriptions and start working on the problems.
