Nappy Headed Black Child

Joe Stack was an angry man who nutted up and did what alot of us are afraid to do. Blow some shit up and make a point. Now it is not the purpose of this particular post to sully or disregard Joe Stacks display of dissent. However i do want to make a particular point about white mans anger.

In my previous post there is a copy of Joe Stacks last message to the world. Included it for two reasons because it displays the corruption and the exploitative nature of the government, and as a black man, Joe Stack's rage at the government is well understood, however it is a rage and frustration my people deal with from proverbial "jump street". The second reason i posted it is to illustrate that the very reason that we in this country are even discussing Joe Stack's reasoning for this attack is because when white people get mad and lash out violently people seem love to talk about circumstances. They want to study and attempt to understand why this person lashed out. There is an acceptance of the possibility that persons motivation is just as important as the action itself. While MY anger and rage at an the centuries long injustices that affects my whole people and attempts to rob us of our place in history is invalid and ignored.

As i scanned the google headlines about Stack i noticed something very peculiar.


No mention in the headlines of this being a domestic attack. Now fact is this man how ever justified, attacked a government building of the country in which he lived. This is by definition domestic terrorism. And yet Austin suicide plane crash carries the day in the headlines.

If it were me a Black Man or a Muslim who perpetrated this act for the very same reasons, this would have been known and introduced as an act of terrorism. Much the same way The Black Panthers, The Black Liberation Army were looked upon as domestic threats without any thought to the motivation behind the actions of these groups and it because to acknowledge the motivation that drives these groups is make and admittance of wrongdoing and thus creating a responsibility fix it and the government will not do that.

But for Joe Stacks a white man his anger his motivation will be heard and understood by the masses (cuz surely the government is rewriting tax law and the cant get healthcare straight)not so much because of the impact of his actions but because he is a white man.
