Molotov Cocktail Thrown Into Black Congressman’s Office

 

According to reports,  a Molotov cocktail was thrown through the office window of Rep. Emanuel Cleaver’s (D-Mo.) Thursday morning. The Hill has the story:

The Kansas City Police and Kansas City Bomb and Arson Squad responded to the scene and completed an initial survey. No one was in the office when the object or objects were thrown. The cocktail did not explode, according to local reports.

Congressional Black Caucus Chairwoman Marcia Fudge (Ohio) asked for a speedy investigation and said the people responsible need to be punished to the “fullest extent of the law.”
“The Congressional Black Caucus strongly condemns this type of vandalism targeted at Congressman Cleaver, and denounces any act of violence towards Members of Congress,” she said in a statement. “This type of abhorrent behavior is the most ineffective means of voicing discontent or disagreement.”

Cleaver is currently in Washington and all of his offices are…

These KKK people are real. It only takes a couple bad apples to cause massive harm. And there are others who think like them but don’t wear the hood.

 

The Southern Poverty Law Center keeps track of how many hate groups there are in the U.S. – it’s a lot.

Biracial Woman Talks To KKK Members To Confront Racism Face-To-Face

See on Scoop.it – Community Village Daily

 

“Most people would be afraid to confront a member of the Ku Klux Klan to talk about racism, but one filmmaker has made it her mission to do just that.

Mo Asumang, daughter of a black Ghanaian father and a white German mother, is literally challenging racism head on.”

Community Village‘s insight:

 

She’s super brave. I’m scared to death of the KKK. Although, I’ve read that some will have a dialog if you engage with them – just like in this video.

People apply labels to groups, then that label makes us frightened. But they are human. And often the ‘normal’ person is the one who does something crazy.

I think many people, including the media, the military, and religious groups attempt to over simplify the complexity of human relations, especially the fact that everyone has the capacity to do good or bad.

The human mind is so interconnected and influenced with the culture and community that it lives in, it’s easy for humans to get their ideas twisted, and many never have the opportunity to study philosophy, anthropology, sociology, biology, intercultural studies, nor the opportunity to travel the world. And even with the power of the internet (YouTube ‘university’) – there is still so much ignorance and hate.

The world is in a constant battle between ignorance and knowledge, bad and good, yin and yang.

Hate Crimes Are An Affront To Us All

Hate crimes are an affront to us all as Americans and to this nation, declared Attorney General Eric Holder, as he noted America stands with the mourners of three people killed at Jewish community sites in suburban Kansas City.

 

Community Village‘s insight:

 

There is something wrong with U.S. culture when we allow avowed racists to walk freely as if they are not a threat.

 

Racists are terrorists.

The North Dakota Neo-Nazi Take-Over HAS ALREADY HAPPENED (No, the bad plumbing didn’t stop them)

“Their plan and their vision is a long-term one, and we who oppose them have to have a long-term vision and strategy against them as well. If we delude ourselves into thinking that one protest, one article we forwarded on social media is the end of this fight, then Cobb’s crew of white supremacists have already won. If you don’t want to see that happen, then SPREAD THE WORD and let’s KEEP THE PRESSURE ON. They are hoping that after our single victory over them, just over a week ago, that we back off and get lulled into complacency.”

 

Community Village‘s insight:

 

What the article fails to mention is that even if these white supreamicists are ran out of that town – they will just go somewhere else and blend in.

 

White racism is all round and segregated cities are all over the U.S.

 

The U.S. should consider a “War against hate” instead of their failed “War on drugs.”
