These stories are becoming frequent enough that I believe I will take a crack at creative writing. I would like to re-write the narrative as it would occur in small town TX.


In a misguided effort two black females, Precious Parker, 30, and Sabrina James, 23, knocked on the door of a farmhouse on Old Elm Road in Flatcreek, TX at 9:30 p.m. on Thursday and attempted to hold a 37-year-old man and his 35-year-old wife at gunpoint demanding they move out or be killed, sheriffs deputies said.

Michael Smith, who had just recently purchased 56 acre property and begun repairs to his fencing in anticipation of cattle next year, was well prepared when he answered his door. Thankfully, his dog, Buck, had warned him of the intruders presence long before they approached the front porch.

Despite warnings Mr. Smith was unsuccessful in convincing the intruders to leave. Noting that he was afraid for his wife and young child's safety Mr. Smith fatally shot Precious and critically wounded Sabrina who later died in transport to the hospital.

The Sherriff's office added the couple was targeted because of their race, as one of the women said she didn’t like “that rich white people were living in the area,”. The crime would be prosecuted as a hate crime if the criminals had survived.

At the time of this article, the Smith family was being assisted with fence repair and emotional support after this disturbing event by their neighbors, and church congregation.

Ahhh. Here comes the Critical Race Theory crowd. Someone's been listening to Soledad O'Brien.

Racism (noun)
quote:

1. a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.
2. a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination.
3. hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.


It seems you are thinking of definitions 1 or 2 and ignoring definition 3.

I guess you mean "institutional power" because who do you think had the power in this situation? I would say the perps with the guns threatening murder had the power.

Well thank you.


The biggest stretch was the beginning when the two would be criminal black female cowards had enough courage to walk past a barking dog and then on to a ranchers property in TX.

So they didn't even try to get away? They just thought these people would go on their merry little way and not call the cops??

I have heard a definition of racism that says that in order for one group to be racist towards another, one group needs to have social power over the other. If the group doesn't have social power then it can't be racist. I've pointed out that there are situations in which black people could have power over white people. I was told that didn't count. It's classic moving of the goal posts to fit an agenda.

Yeah, this is the new popular definition of racism among blacks today. I'm not sure who started it, but it sounds like it was intended to give minorities (likely blacks) a blank check to discriminate according to race with no repercussions.
