Promotes “Victim of Racism” Propaganda

At 12:11 p.m. ET yesterday, my legman, David in TN wrote,

“How long before we hear complaints of ‘They didn't have to kill him.’”

At that very moment, L.A. Times blogger Lee Romney was pounding out a story combining both that propaganda strategy, and one playing the race card, a la racist black mass murderer/thief, Omar Thornton, which would appear two-and-a-half hours later.

At least, it finally occurred to some of the killer’s friends to pay lip-service to his victims. Maybe their friends suggested it, after seeing their previous interviews, and reading comments about them.

The killer’s friends all claim to be baffled by his behavior. Call me jaded, but I am not baffled. He has endless compassion for blacks, and none for other races. He put himself out selflessly for other blacks, but increasingly showed contempt towards colleagues and superiors of other races.

The friends have also tentatively begun claiming that the killer was a victim of workplace "discrimination," just as Omar Thonon's friewnds and relatives did. Look for more of this talking point to surface in the days to come.

It has long been a pillar of black supremacy that blacks focus all of their rage at whites and Asians, and refrain from committing any violence against other blacks, save for “race traitors” (blacks who are civilized towards other races). That’s what black leaders like Jesse Jackson were talking about, beginning in 1989, when they remonstrated against “black-on-black violence.” None of them complained about black violence against other races, because they supported it. Note that the Justice Department had then just reported that beginning in 1987, the group most victimized by black criminals was not blacks, but whites, a tendency which has never changed since.

In 1990, genocidal black supremacist writer Amos N. Wilson codified this attitude in his hugely influential book, Black-on-Black violence: the psychodynamics of Black self-annihilation in service of white domination.

Likewise, when blacks called on other blacks to “stop the violence!,” they meant stop violence against other blacks. The killer’s work in “conflict mediation” was designed to reduce black-on-black violence.

A poster claiming to be a friend of the killer also made a bid for damage control and I, still not having learned my lesson, joined the message board battle once again. (Comment is reproduced in its entirety; commenter inserted ellipses for effect.)

Shereef Allman, he was my friend and a good man, strong hard working man, who was pushed to his breaking point. If you ever meet him you would always remember him. What he done was wrong? . . . . .

My prays, go out to all the families. I want everyone to stop! Take a moment, take a deep breath. This is not about Black or White or Brown or Red we are all victims of this economy.

Until we as nation stop allowing the same old Congress & Senators, and same Old life time politicians rule us, for our life time. This is going to get worse, with the amount of people that are out of work and the amount of military cut backs we are having now, within 2 years this will be an everyday occurrence. . . . . This saddens me.

 

N.S.: Who pushed Shareef Allman “to his breaking point”? For whom did he work hard? And why do you ask what he did wrong?

Why do I keep hearing blacks claim that the killer was “pushed to his breaking point”? Allman was not the victim here, he was the evildoer. No one pushed him, he was pushing all of the people who were forced to work with the most dangerous colleague any of them had ever seen. Why was he not fired a long time ago?

“This is not about Black or White or Brown or Red…”

That’s peculiar, because your friend the killer let everyone know that this was all about race. That he hadn’t been fired long ago was all about race. That he felt such an obligation to work for black folks who did not pay him, while having contempt for the white folks who did, was all about race. That he projected his own shortcomings onto his non-black colleagues was all about race.

This is only going to get worse, and become an everyday occurrence, if black adults of all walks of life continue teaching black children that other races are the cause of all of their problems, and that any offense they commit against people of other colors is justified.

Cupertino shooting: Friends of Shareef Allman react to his death

Friends of Shareef Allman, the suspect in the fatal workplace shootings in Cupertino, reacted with sorrow and regret Thursday that another life had been lost -- and that the man they knew as a pillar of the African American community and a kind-hearted mediator of conflict will never be able to explain his actions.

While law-enforcement officials have not yet made a positive identification, a man matching the description of Allman was shot and killed by Santa Clara County sheriff's deputies on a residential driveway early Thursday, in the heart of the neighborhood where an intensive manhunt had taken place after Wednesday’s shootings.

Shortly after hearing the news, Rev. Jethroe "Jeff" Moore II, the head of the Silicon Valley NAACP, and longtime community activist Walter Wilson jumped into a car to seek out Allman's 17-year-old daughter, known to all Allman's friends, Moore said, as "the love of his life."

"We are devastated by the loss of life," Moore said of the addition of the 47-year-old Allman to the tally of three killed at his alleged hands at Lehigh Southwest Cement's Permanente plant on Wednesday. "They just closed the book and we’ll never know what page was ripped from it.... For my own selfish reasons I wish he had been taken alive so we could at least have had some conversation or explanation."

Moore expressed condolences to the "three other families who have been devastated by this. To get up to go to work and never come back, it’s a shock," he said. "As a community, we are hurt and at a loss for the proper words."

Yet the overwhelming emotion by those who knew Allman was one of stunned confusion. Moore, who met Allman years ago before each turned to Christianity, said his strapping friend was always well-dressed and well-spoken. "He was a ladies man and I thought I was too," he said with a laugh about their early shenanigans.

But the days of club-hopping turned to more serious pursuits. In his cable-access show, in the book he self-published, and in the daily life he led, Allman pressed other African American men to be strong, honest leaders, Moore and Wilson said. He raised his daughter from infancy  by himself. Her face was on the cover of his book, "Amazing Grace," which detailed his own troubled childhood and spoke out against domestic violence. He also helped raise a son, now 20, who has a different mother.

"He came out of a family where there was some abuse between the mother and father, and he always talked about how he survived and made it out of that and he would never have that in his daughter’s life," Moore said. "He talked about how as black men we need to take responsibility  for our families and raise them -- be dads, be strong dads -- a point he always drove home in his messages."

Now, his daughter is fatherless, an outcome Moore and Wilson called "mind boggling."

What baffles them most is that the Allman they knew had the skills to resolve conflicts -- and often did. He was the one who would intercede when emotions ran high among others to say, "How can we work this out? Let’s come to the table. We can come to an understanding that is satisfactory," Moore said. "I never even heard him raise his voice."

Those notions of Allman are now upside-down. According to a San Jose Mercury News interview with one of the men injured in the shootings, Allman clocked in at 4 a.m., poured a cup of coffee, then pulled a gun from his jacket and opened fire. Three men would die there and six would be injured. Allman is believed to have shot a woman in the arm a few hours later in a failed carjacking attempt, bringing the toll of injured to seven.

Wilson said that Allman had shared problems he was having at the cement plant, where he was employed for 15 years.

"He talked about his job in the past, on several occasions, that people were trying to do things to undermine him," said Wilson, who met Allman nearly a quarter-century ago. "He did feel that there were some people there who were doing systemic discriminatory practices."

But, Wilson said, "in general the issues that he had there, it seemed to me like he had it under control.... He did have options. That’s what boggles the mind."

Wilson, Moore and another local pastor Wednesday set up at a church near the command post and told law-enforcement officials "that if they spotted him to bring us out so we could talk him down."

They never got that chance.
