The Loonies of Knoxville

The loonies of Knoxville


It always amazes me when white people put on the victim hat.

As in victim of racial oppression. By any measure — health, education, economics, employment — white Americans enjoy a superior standard of living. If that's racial oppression, sign me up.

But still, one occasionally hears mewling noises from that subset of my white countrymen who feel put upon by big, bad racial minorities. This is one of those times. And Knoxville, Tenn., has become the capital city of that lunatic fringe.

It seems that in January, a young white couple, Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom, were victims of a brutal crime. They were carjacked, kidnapped and raped. Cleaning fluid was sprayed into Christian's mouth. She was stuffed in a trash can and apparently suffocated. Newsom was shot and set afire. His body was dumped. Five blacks, one a woman, have been arrested.

The story made headlines around Knoxville. It was unnoticed nationally.

That has changed...

I subscribe to my local paper, which I like. I not quite sure (will have to verify) but Pitts might be one of the columnists. If he is, I will email the editors of my displeasure. If he is not dropped, I'll cancel my subscription.

All of the aforementioned areas are inexorably linked to IQ. Niggers simply cannot compete on a level playing field. Don't believe me? Do away with affirmative action, mandatory quotas, extra points on college entrance exams for shit-colored skin, ect, ect... then see how well niggers do. Even with said handouts for the past four decades, niggers lag far behind.

Racial oppression? Read up, you bubble-eyed, boot-lipped nigger. The term "White Flight" exists solely because of racial oppression.

[Peer Fischer]

He looks like he has a pretty decent "standard of living."

[Ceallachain]

Fuck you, nigger. Remember, your monkey ancestors never invented the wheel or a written language. That's why Arboreals lag behind in every category. No one would EVER, EVER hire you as a writer on a level playing field.

P.S. do some situps, fatass

P.S.S. How bad must it smell in that room of niggers from the pic?

[Flame Baiter]

I've called some of the "poo poo" crowd before. Our people are getting murdered, and they "poo poo" our anger. If you say what they are implying in plain English, it's something like, "I could give a fuck if two young White lovers get cut up by a gang of niggers".

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/con.../newsroom.html

Folks, this is the fucked up mentality that we are up against. I'm asking you, begging you, pleading with every fucking VNN'er who's reading this post to call the numbers below and give these "give a fuck" people the VNN treatment.

This is an outrage.

[The Barrenness]

But still, one occasionally hears mewling noises from that subset of my white countrymen who feel put upon by big, bad racial minorities. This is one of those times. And Knoxville, Tenn., has become the capital city of that lunatic fringe.
have four words for them and any other white Americans who feel themselves similarly victimized.

Cry me a river.

This is pretty amusing coming from a people whose entire identity is based around non stop whining about their "oppression." Whites legitimately get pissed off about the brutal murder of a young white couple and the fact that this murder was completely ignored and we are whining, this charge made from a member of a race that hears a naughty racial slur and expects everyone to break out the violins and kiss their feet(assuming they don't just shoot you)

As in victim of racial oppression. By any measure — health, education, economics, employment — white Americans enjoy a superior standard of living. If that's racial oppression, sign me up.

Maybe if his people didn't have an average IQ just barely above the level of a mentally retarded person they would enjoy a higher standard of living also.

Flame Baiter, Pitts actually writes for the Miami Herald. It might be better to contact them, or write to him directly.

The syndicated commentaries of Miami Herald columnist Leonard Pitts are among the most widely read in the United States, appearing in about 150 newspapers. Pitts's columns offer insightful commentary on the American experience, particularly the African-American experience. Perhaps his most famous column was a stirring call to American unity penned the day after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Pitts drew on his own childhood as well as the lives of other African-American men in his bestselling book Becoming Dad: Black Men and the Journey to Fatherhood. After several nominations, Pitts was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for commentary in 2004.

Leonard Garvey Pitts, Jr., was born on October 11, 1957, in Orange, California. He and his three siblings grew up in the impoverished South Central section of Los Angeles, and his home life was far from ideal. His father drank heavily, let disputes escalate to gunfire, and was often unemployed. Yet Pitts remained philosophical about his upbringing, quoted as saying by reviewer Tim Engle in the Houston Chronicle that "I tend to think I was probably a lot luckier than some kids whose fathers weren't there." Pitts showed writing ability from the start. He whizzed through primary and secondary schools, skipping several grades, and entered the University of Southern California on a scholarship at age 15.

While Pitts was a student at USC, his father died of throat cancer. He majored in English and graduated summa cum laude in 1977.

Any thoughts? Writing the Miami Herald and you're talking to niggers/jews who really couldn't give a shit.

Talk to the Seattle paper, and you're talking to Whites who at least may see the light.

I want to see a repeat of the Charlie Daniels Message Board VNN treatment. Yes, we used a low-brow approach. AND we did get the people's attention.

[Flame Baiter]

Fuck it. Let's VNN them both.

They will get an earful from me tomorrow. This is outrageous.

Miami, Florida -- A nigger employed by the Miami Herald has published an editorial justifying the brutal murders of Channon Christian and Chris Newsome and stating that newspapers should not report black on white racial crime.

Leonard Pitts, a nigger employed by the Herald, said that those upset about the brutal rape of both white victims should "Cry me a river ... It always amazes me when white people put on the victim hat"

Christopher Newsome was sodomized by five black males who shouted racial slurs at him, before his penis was cut off, his body cut into parts and he was set on fire. Channon Christian was raped and sodomized, had her breast cut off while still alive, had bleach poured down her throat and into her orifices while still alive, before her throat was cut.

Black racial activists in Knoxville have published articles justifying and celebrating the murders and calling on blacks in the area to commit additional crimes.

The bizarre position taken by Nigger Pitts is typical of the mentality fed into the semi-educated blacks, and self-hating whites produced by Jewish faculties at major universities. Such loathsome, ignorant creatures predominate in the Jewish owned media.

Pitts, born October 11, 1957, is a resident of Bowie, Maryland and lives at 15016 NEBRASKA LN BOWIE, MD 20716 with his wife, Marilyn. You can call him at (301) 390-1627.

His wife gets very upset when you call.

It seems that in January, a young white couple, Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom, were victims of a brutal crime. They were carjacked, kidnapped and raped. Cleaning fluid was sprayed into Christian's mouth. She was stuffed in a trash can and apparently suffocated. Newsom was shot and set afire. His body was dumped. Five blacks, one a woman, have been arrested.

The story made headlines around Knoxville. It was unnoticed nationally.

That has changed...

Maybe we should all write to both the Seattle and Miami newspapers, but remember Pitts is syndicated in about 150 newspapers. We should write in a professional manner, without racial taunts and epithets, if we expect the proper consideration this subject deserves to be given by these liberals.

[Flame Baiter]

Then it's on baby.

Call every one of those motherfuckers and give them an earful. Let everyone of them get about 20 calls in a short period of time, even the home and garden editor. They will talk about it amongst themselves. GUARANTEED.

Then, one way or the other, they'll realize that the only reason the papers and the MSM aren't reporting on this crime is because the MSM is covering up violent nigger crime against Whites while making a big deal over the Duke "rape" case.

Let them have it. VNN all the way!

Pitts is a syndicated columnist only because he’s a nigger who can manage to string a couple of sentences together and for no other reason. Nothing more the your garden variety under-qualified affirmative-action monkey-fingers aimlessly pecking at a keyboard while in a desperate search to plagiarize a clever line. I would imagine that an editor at the Herald has a lot to clean up after this dim-witted ape.

And because he’s a nigger writing at the pleasure of the jew, we’d expect his take to be decidedly pro-black and absolutely anti-White, and in this regard Pitts never fails to disappoint us, nor his jewish handlers.

We can think of Pitts as an Al Sharpton of letters. His purpose for being is to write, and I use that word loosely, stories that are meant to provoke and inflame White people and to give solace to those two lone niggers in his audience who can actually read a newspaper.

Yes, this chimp is paid to race bait. He’s the set-up man for the jew. The jew who scans the waters for the slightest ripple of White backlash to Pitt’s taunts. That’ll give the jew the supposed moral high ground that enables them to point the accusing finger of “racist hater” at those Whites who dare get up on their hind legs and bark at Pitts. It’s the one-two punch that keeps Whitey beat down.

Without the jew, Pitts would be lucky to have a job mopping floors.

Pitts is an appropriate name for this loser.

Pitts is a Pulitzer Prize winning black racist who gets more than an earful from pissed off Whites on a regular basis. It would do NO GOOD to contact the Miami Herald.....he ain't going anywhere. He's a fucking racist who, when suitably agitated, has been known to call for racial separation. Of course, he backs off this call when his blood pressure and sanity return to normal. He knows who pays the fucking bills and it makes him very, very angry.

Pitts does this shit all the time. He would no doubt get alot of pleasure from receiving hundreds of angry e-mails from White folks. The best thing to do would be to grow some thick skin and ignore this dumb nigger. Concentrate instead on continuing to get the word out about Channon and Chris.

I have traded e-mails with Leonard Pitts several times, and I can tell you in hindsight that my time would have been better served in other endeavours.

I remember a story about a typical hit-piece the ADL or SPLC did on the National Alliance and Dr. William Pierce some years ago. Someone close to Dr. Pierce asked him what his reaction to it was. With absolutely no emotion, Dr. Pierce said, "They do what they do, and I do what I do"............and then he went back to work.

Pitts is just doing what he does................and we should just do what we do.
