Granpa Summerill: “You young whippersnapper, you! You call yourself an American, don’t you? This is your country, ain’t it? (Describes local gangster activity and impotence of the community to deal with it.) Then it ain’t your country! It’s their’s [the gangsters]! It’s a country for a lot of murderers. And you’re yellow if live in it and let them run it!”
Youngster: “Aw, you and your old fogey ideas.”
Granpa: “Fogey! Suppose this fellow…took an idea to grab your SISTER? Suppose he come in and hit your MOTHER? Would you let him get away with it? Not if you got one drop of (God-damn?) blood in your veins, you wouldn’t! You white-livered puppy! Aw…make me sick to my stomach.”…
First Bystander: “Is the Civil War over yet?”
Second Bystander: “We’re still fighting it in here.”
Dialogue from “The Star Witness”, shown on Turner Classic Movies last night, when nobody was watching.
As the night before Thanksgiving Cross-burning incident in Cortlandt, New York shows, we ARE still fighting the Civil War in here, America Farm. You would think the media, so happy to pontificate about Potok incidents being the “new” Cross-burnings, might take an interest in a REAL Cross burning, but they seem to have dropped it quickly. We shall see why. It stinks!
The facts of the case are sketchy, but it seems on the night before Thanksgiving a 4 foot tall wooden Cross was found burning about 8 pm on the lawn of a black family named Artrope. When the police were called in, Timothy Artrope, age fifteen, who had discovered the Cross, told police about a fight that he had been in at Hendrick Hudson School that day. He admitted that he had gotten in a shoving match with two girls, one white and one “Hispanic” (not Spanish). He claimed that during a fight over a seat, the girls had called him racial slurs, and said that he had struck one of them in the face. (The teacher was out of the classroom during this incident, giving the children a little holiday treat.) Apparently, the boy told the police that he suspected the Hispanic girl’s family, the Uribes, had something to do with it, as she was the only student that knew where Artrope lived. However, the police later arrested Christopher Hudak, age 20 or 21, older brother of the white girl in the incident and charged him with first degree aggravated harrassment, a felony. The police say that Hudak’s alibi “broke down” under questioning. At any rate, Hudak is said to have denied the accusation, and refused to speak without a lawyer.
Now, this case is just a succulent, giant enchilada of multicultural bliss, isn’t it? No wonder the media scarely wants to touch it. Let’s relish the ingredients, one by one.
First, we have a public (government) school in the sorry state they all have been in since Brown vs. the Board of Education. Baby-sitting, and not even doing a good job of that.
Second, we have badly behaved teenagers acting like kindergartners. (TV, computer games and working moms, no doubt.)
Third, we have an alleged racial slur, which apparently gives the green light for physical violence all across America Farm. (Although I believe the girls deny the racial slurs, had they said them, they would have been in big trouble. Could be they felt a smack in the face was nothing compared to what the Vice Principal of Diversity would do to them).
Fourth, we see black-on-white violence in the school. So far, the only confessed crime is when Artrope admitted hitting the girls. (This fourth ingredient is a very important issue to white Americans, although rarely mentioned in the press…don’t want to get the whites fighting mad!)
Fifth, we see a burning Cross, symbol of the KKK and our violent racist past. But it’s here now, in New York state, following some black-on-white violence. (Oops! Better drop this story, in case modern day whites start wondering if all those old “racist” Cross-burning incidents might have been related somehow to criminal black behavior.) Cross-burning actually is a crime in Cortlandt, but only since 2006. Before that either Cross-burning didn’t happen enough to worry about, or it was considered a symbolic form of speech, and protected under the First Amendment.
That makes a sixth ingredient - Multiculturalism on the March, whittling away the First Amendment and making everything a horrible crime, if not a terrorist event. We call this Progress!
Seventh, apparently there was speculation that it was actually an Artrope that burned the Cross, creating a phony “hate crime”, an event only too common (see Potok Incidents) in America Farm. That makes seven lovely ingredients in our Diversity Day enchilada! Yum, yum, yum.
Now, topping it all off, the eighth ingredient will be to lock young Hudak up, throw away the key, and let him be beaten and raped by his predominantly black cell-mates until he dies in prison. (Prisons were desegregated even before the schools in America Farm.)
And that’s the meal being served up in America Farm school cafeterias today… Hot or Mild sauce?
