I always thought the closest I'd been to hell on earth was a toss up between Gary, Indiana and East Orange, N.J.....mmmm...maybe the country of Romania.

RACIST

Daniel Attila's essay, "Hell on Wheels," is one little racist's rant on black Americans. I dispute the accuracy of this testament of fear and loathing. It is obvious that the unwritten conclusions to which Daniel hopes his reader will arrive at (blacks are savages, etc.) is the implicit engine that drives his descriptions and his memory (if this has any relation to real life experience). Daniel's own distorted descriptions, however, reveals an unusual attention to supposed numbers of African Americans, supposed incidents of black violence, supposed violent and potentially violent situations that he personally encountered, etc. Everywhere, he sees only African Americans. He sees them all around. And they are closing in on him. Daniel has delusions.

DELUSIONAL PARANOIA

The black bureaucrat who asks a question about a supposed incident of violence is making a note on a piece of paper (.... most likely about Daniel, Daniel had thought). Daniel writes: "As I advanced, the people seemed to move closer to the train, gradually narrowing the path until it became too narrow for me to pass without touching them." Did they move closer to Daniel or did they just *seem* to move closer to the train? He continues: "Then I saw hands reaching out to grab me and fists aimed to punch me." But how did Daniel manage to slip by all the grabbing, angry hands and the many flying fists? How did he outrun all those people that supposedly meant to do him harm? Did he only imagine them? Then, Daniel starts making his way through the cars.

EPISODE

Though all the cars had open exit doors supposedly with angry African Americans standing just outside these doors(and all of these black people supposedly wanting to do him great injury and harm), Daniel makes his way through two cars and past heavy doors between the cars without any incident. "Meanwhile, the crowd seemed about to follow me into the train," he writes. But this angry mob of African Americans did not follow him, they did not intercept him, they did not knock him down and tear him apart. Meanwhile, Daniel had hid himself behind the locked doors of the conductor's cab until the police arrived. It must have been the longest wait of his life. Lucky for Daniel that the police got there in half an hour or he might have been killed. Not!

FALSE CONSCIOUSNESS

But Daniel Attila does not just fear and loathe black Americans, he thinks that Hispanics are a problem too. And his little rant does not show up just anywhere on the Internet, it happens to be published on the web site of the American Renaissance, an obvious race-baiting rag that features such dixie-whistling separationists as Jared Taylor. Furthermore, while some on this forum might be reluctant to criticize the "personal experience" and "personal account" of another, this does not mean that they share Daniel's experience, his beliefs, his fears, or his delusions. They are merely un-accustomed to criticizing a false consciousness. In fact, if you find my previous thread on racism in the forum archives, you'll see that this forum is not run by racists.

A lot of Serbs feel that way about Kosovar Albanians --

A lot of Russians feel that way about the Chechnyans --

A lot of Hindus feel that way about Moslems -- and vice versa --

A lot of Japanese feel that way about the Ainu --

A lot of Israelis feel that way about the Palestinians --

Seems to be endemic in our current version of "civilization."
