Would you like to take a current events quiz? Be careful how you answer this one, however. The wrong answer could cost one man his life, and another a few years of his precious time.
If the entrance to a traffic circle you sought to drive into in a residential neighborhood were blocked by a man who had set up traffic cones, while he watered a garden in the middle of the circle, and the man told you to drive past him and enter through the opposite end (the exit), would you:
1. Do as he told you, while grumbling to yourself;
2. Do as he told you, while yelling something at him as you drive past, to indicate your displeasure; or
3. Stop your car, blocking traffic, get out, start throwing the cones away, scream at him when he responds by splashing you with water, pursue him, screaming and throwing a water bottle at him, and then go fetch a friend to kill him?
On the evening of July 9, 60-year-old James Paroline was watering the traffic circle garden at the intersection of 61st Avenue South and South Cooper Street, in Seattle’s Rainier Beach area, just as he did every day. The garden had only recently been built by the city, after years of prodding by Paroline, a retired Vietnam veteran who took it upon himself to do that sort of thing. Paroline placed the cones to keep his water hose from getting crushed, and presumably to protect himself from getting crushed, as well.
Well, that evening would be the last time Paroline ever watered the garden. For the rest of the story, as the recently departed Paul Harvey, may he rest in peace, would have said, please turn to my American Renaissance exclusive, “Three Race Murders in Seattle,” on the racially motivated murder of Paroline, as well as the racially motivated murders of his fellow Seattlites Kristopher Kime (during the 2001 Mardi Gras black race riot) and “the Tuba Man,” Edward Scott McMichael.
Although an entry was up at Wikipedia/The Pretend Encyclopedia (TPE) about Oscar Grant, the felon who was shot to death in the wee hours of New Year’s Day on an Oakland subway platform by BART policeman Johannes Mehserle, less than five days after Grant’s death, and Google just returned 1,020,000 hits for “Oscar Grant shooting”; eight months after James Paroline’s murder, you won’t find any TPE entry at all devoted to, or so much as mentioning him, and his name returns a paltry 1,770 hits at Google, including references to my article.
And that is not at all surprising, in this day and age. After all, by contemporary, politically correct standards, there are four reasons not to have a TPE entry for, or any national news coverage of Paroline’s death: 1. Paroline is a dead white guy, so his life had no value; 2. Paroline was a Vietnam vet which, except for traitors and con men, is yet another invisible demographic to the MSM; 3. He was a law-abiding citizen, which is so bor-ing; and 4. He was murdered by a black man, something that the lefties at TPE and the national MSM want no whites to know about. By contrast, those same lefties found the Grant shooting newsworthy, because: 1. Grant was black, his life thus intrinsically more valuable than James Paroline’s; 2. Grant was a felon, and thus an object of sympathy; and 3. Grant was shot to death by a white policeman, which made his life politically of use.
If you find my article of value, I urge you to please consider subscribing to American Renaissance, the magazine that is the gold standard for journalism and scholarship on race, and making a tax-deductible donation to the New Century Foundation, AmRen’s non-profit, sponsoring organization. I can’t do my work without the support of AmRen’s brilliant, courageous editor and publisher, Jared Taylor, and Jared can’t publish AmRen without the support of thousands of people just like you.
I realize that times are tough, but they are going to get much tougher, and without AmRen, you won’t have an accurate gauge of just what is going on… until it’s too late.
And will someone please post an article on James Paroline at TPE? Attention must be paid!
I like that idea series, you know those that say something about become a total maniac in the middle of the road, take the road cones and hit some person, maybe this is the best way to control the stress.
