This Toledo, Ohio occurance was, indeed, a crying shame. Michelle Malkin has it covered completely, as always.

So the way it went down was, the Nazi scum were scheduled to march and local black gang-bangers were prepared to give them an exciting reception. To head off trouble, the city cancelled the Nazis’ march, but that didn’t stop the gang members, who were too ready to riot and destroy other people’s property to quit just because there was no longer a reason to take any action. They wanted to hurt some white people, create mayhem and burn things down, and it didn’t matter that their excuse no longer existed.

As far as I’m concerned, much of the blame for this inexcusable and inhuman behavior falls in the laps of such self-motivated instigators as Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and Louis Farrakhan. I find it repulsive that Jackson and Sharpton dare place religious prefixes before their names, for they are nothing short of Godless hatemongers, as is Farrakhan.

These are people who thrive on racial hatred, because the only political platform they have is racism. By continually shouting to all too many blacks who give them credibility that “Whitey is racist and he wants to keep the black man down” and representing themselves as defenders of their race against this insidious white plot that really, really does not exist, they retain their power bases among blacks and gullible liberals of other ethnic persuasions.

They keep racism alive in the black community as they feed the flames of a simmering rage that needn’t be, simply because they need as many downtrodden people as they can inventory into their ministries of hate in order to maintain the constituencies that support their miserable careers.

Like the ACLU, these Provocateurs of racial violence are the enemies of the blacks and other minorities, posing as their friends while using them to meet political agendas. It’s just too bad so many people listen to these parasites and believe what they’re saying.

Like I said, a crying shame.

Columnist Michael Graham has an opinion piece on the affair in Jewish World Review.

So how did these fringe fascists get blamed for the Toledo riot?

Or maybe the mainstream media buys the argument, offered by some of the rioters and their defenders, that the riot was a civil rights protest against fascism.

Probably, to the last. Our Mainstream Media, just like most liberals, are living in their own private Idaho{h/t, B-52s}.

So to recap: In response to a Nazi rally that didn’t happen, several hundred black Americans burned down buildings and looted businesses in their own community, apparently in protest of the First Amendment, while the elected mayor of a mid-sized American city negotiated with the gangsters among them to plead for order in the streets.

Even if you believe that neo-Nazism poses an imminent threat to the Republic, how does destroying a Toledo gas station or setting a local bar on fire help hold back the Aryan hordes? I just wonder how many other Americans, watching the disturbing images of hundreds of black neighbors rushing a local convenience store, were reminded, not of Nuremberg, but New Orleans?

I have a lot of black friends and acquaintances, and none of them would ever dream of participating in anything like the Toledo rioting or that which occured in Los Angeles after the Rodney King verdict.

Those inclined to mob violence are the folks who allow themselves to be kept down and out of the “loop” of mainstream society by the same black community leaders and white liberals that claim to represent their interests.

I realize that, as a white guy, I am supposed to let this behavior go by without comment. That was certainly the mainstream media’s strategy.

Unfortunately, the problems facing black Americans are very real. The lingering racism black Americans face is real, too, as are the setbacks some black Americans choose to bring upon themselves.
