Virginia Tech Shooting: Blame America.

In an oddly-titled blog entry, Women's Space/The Margins blames America for raising someone like Cho Sueng-Hui.

"Cho Sueng-Hui and the Virginia Tech Massacre: These are the Sons America Has Raised" [Editor: So these are two sons?]

This is the young man who shot 32 people dead, then shot himself, and injured many more.  His name was Cho Seung-Hui.   He was born in South Korea and immigrated to the United States with his mom, dad and sister in 1992, when he was eight years old.  The family had a sponsor in the U.S., probably a relative, when they immigrated.  He was a permanent legal resident of the U.S.  His home was in Centreville, Virginia, a suburb of Washington, D.C., and his folks supported the family by running a dry cleaning business.  Neighbors say they were nice people, hardworking.  He had a sister who attended Princeton.  He was quiet, liked to play basketball.

Not so fast. Any honest person knows that People of Color have perfected the art of "being in America" while not "being of America."

Many People of Color come to the United States out of ambition and desire for self-advancement yet simultaneously harbor a resentment towards Anglo-American society for being the source of that advancement.  People of Color and their professional advocates must address the forms of amerophobia and anglophobia that they tacitly transmit to their children.  Asian-Americans need to address uncomfortable questions about how they refer to the majority community behind closed doors.

I would suggest that Cheryl Lyndsey Seehof rewrite her offensive and treasonous blog title to something more accurate: Cho Sueng-Hi, Diversity strikes again.

Asian Netizens Worry about Racist Virginians.

Asians commenting at the 8Asians Blog (which has a header graphic with ten Asians in it!) have been thinking out aloud in the crudest ethnic stereotypes about "rural Virginia".

"Lex" is warning Asians in Virginia to get ready for a white mob:

Just imagine the racial outlash this is going to trigger. This is in rural Virginia for crying out loud. If I am Asian living in the area, I will be ready for crusade by the local militia.

"JSP" wants to make sure that while the authorities held back on reporting on the identity of the gunman, that we must make sure that all allegations of anti-Asian backlash get full media coverage:

I fear that yet another backlash may occur. If not nationally, then locally in Virginia. If there are any incidents racially motivated backlash towards asians, it should be reported.

Isn't this defamation of character towards the community that was just savaged?

Meanwhile, Lex isn't satisfied with defaming White Virginians, he goes after Michelle Malking for being a self-hating Asian.  Her crime? She points out the similarity between the VT Shooting and the 1991 Iowa Shooting involving another Asian. Malkin's post today echoes my suspicion about why the VT Police were dilatory in releasing the gunman's identity: the Asian-American Journalists Association has urged people not to refer to the gunman's ethnicity! The 1984 logic of multiculturalism strikes again.

Oliver Williamson sums it up best at 8Asians:

There shouldn’t be any racial backlash. Not in the U.S., anyway. Of course, if a similar crime had been committed in South Korea by a “white guy”, then there would be massive rallies in front of the U.S. Embassy and Seoul City Hall and A LOT of nastiness all over the country. And there would probably be annual marches on this date for the next several years. What will almost certainly happen is a massive effort by the Koreans to shift all the blame onto America, as they do with nearly everything else, including their own extreme materialism. Some may even go so far as to declare that Cho Seung-Hui was framed by the Americans.  I’m glad I’m not in South Korea anymore

So let's get this straight: An Asian murders 31 Americans (and foreign students) but 'they' are afraid of 'us' ?!

Meanwhile, the UK's Daily Mail reveals the identity of the Bizarre Love Triangle that may have sparked this rampage: the Asian gunman, a white (Jewish?) female, and a black male.

SCAPEGOAT: Democrats attack, Republicans surrender on Michael Brown.

Despite local press coverage which confirms that FEMA's response  to Katrina was actually quite good considering the combination of incompetent local authorities and black "civil unrest", Michael Brown has been sacrificed by the Bush administration.

This, despite blog reports which claim the Democrat-controlled Senate unanimously confirmed Michael Brown as deputy director of FEMA:

"Amid all the bashing of FEMA director Michael Brown as an incompetent, unqualified, resume-padding political hack, one small factor has been overlooked: His job required Senate confirmation, didn't it? Indeed it did. And not only was Brown confirmed, but he was apparently confirmed by a unanimous voice vote -- when the Senate was controlled by Democrats. An enterprising blogger has found the transcript of Brown's June 19, 2002 confirmation hearing before the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee, then chaired by Sen. Joseph Lieberman. The whole affair, including tributes from Brown's home-state senators, apparently lasted less then an hour, and ended with Lieberman saying, "Mr. Brown, I thank you very much. I will certainly support your nomination. I will do my best to move it through the committee as soon as possible so we can have you fully and legally at work in your new position."

Finally, with the "evil party's" chief banshees, such as Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi demanding the head of Michael Brown on a silver platter, GovExec.com reported in 2004 that President Bush should thank Michael Brown for his speedy handling of the FEMA response to Hurricane Charley as it may have delivered Florida to the Bush camp in the general election:

Now that President Bush has won Florida in his 2004 re-election bid, he may want to draft a letter of appreciation to Michael Brown, chief of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Seldom has any federal agency had the opportunity to so directly and uniquely alter the course of a presidential election, and seldom has any agency delivered for a president as FEMA did in Florida this fall.

The editorial line of Scoopster News is "Progressive-Conservative" and is not slavishly pro-Bush; we are independent and objective.  However, we regret the Republican adminstration's surrender over Michael Brown.  Something the "stupid party" does not understand is that the Left is motivated by the "optics" of a situation. Perception is reality. Partisan Democrats will view this as an enboldening victory and a concession of culpability by the Bush Whitehouse. 

EYEWITNESS: John Moore tells his Daughter's story.

John Moore's daughter told him about her friends' ordeal in New Orleans: posted at Useful Idiots.

While walking and swimming through various levels of water, they encountered a dead baby floating away. The water smelled like gasoline and grime. When they made it to the Superdome, armed guards simply asked them to drop any weapons into a box (filled with guns, they noted) and let them pass. At this point the Superdome was still relatively clean, and they changed clothing in the bathroom and tossed out their soiled wet clothes.

Quickly, they realized things were going to get bad. Looters broke into the restaurants and vending outlets, bringing out liquor bottles and cases of beer. They were offered beer at $1 per can. Soon, fighting broke out, and people were left bleeding or dead in the corridors. No one came to help the sick or dead.

Hoping to find safety, they set out to find a place to hide. A trash can held the corpse of a 4 and a half year old girl. The mourners nearby said she had been raped and killed.

The Army told them they couldn’t hang around for safety, so they went to where the National Guard was forming a ring. The Guardsmen told them they could hang around the perimeter if they wanted, so they sat about 10 feet away from where two Guards were posting entrance to their circle. At some point after, a man came out of the flooded areas of the Dome with a pipe. He hit one of the Guards, a woman, on the head. He then shot the other guard in the leg (origin of gun unknown). The female Guard ran screaming away. The perpetrator ran back to the water. He was found with just his nose above the surface, and locked up.

They watched two women beat a man to death after he tried to grab one of their daughter’s, presumably to rape. Before his cell phone battery died, he text-messaged me how scared he was, and that he didn’t think he would make it out.

A woman behind the pair had two German Shepards that were getting violent, and had nipped at my friends. One friend finally turned around and asked her to keep her dogs away from them. She screamed, “It’s just because you hate black people!” “Uh-oh”, they thought, “we’re dead now!” Luckily, the crowd didn’t turn on them, and they were safe.

He told me of how wonderful the people of Texas were. Every time the bus stopped, volunteers gave them food and water, and a soldier even hugged him. The volunteers at the convention center were very welcoming, and my friend has now vowed that Texas is the greatest state in the nation. He was very angry at the mayor and governor of Louisiana, for their lack of preparedness for a storm that they knew was coming. Neither friend ever wants to step foot in New Orleans again.
