B Girl- Not the first false accuser, wont be the last. But she IS the one I blame squarely on McKlan
John McCain has opened Pandoras Box of Racist hatred in this country. As heavy and disgusting as it has been all this time, I think that McKlan/Failin are making it much, much worse.



Ashley Todd isn't the first person who did something TO HERSELF and then accused a non-white of committing the crime.

Here are some examples:

Anyone remember Susan Smith? She claimed a black man kidnapped her children http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susan_Smith
Smith initially reported to police, on October 25, 1994, that she had been carjacked by a black man who drove away with her sons still in the car. Smith made tearful pleas on television for the rescue and return of her children. A Usenet chain letter circulated in the following days, asking Internet users to be on the lookout for the vehicle. However, nine days later, following an intensive, heavily publicized investigation and a nationwide search, Smith eventually confessed to letting her 1990 Mazda Protegé roll into nearby John D. Long Lake, drowning her children inside.

Student at Presbyterian College claims a black man attacked her http://www.wyff4.com/news/15047031/detail.html
Trista Sturdivant claimed that she had been attacked by a black man who jumped out of the woods. Police said eventually, Sturdivant admitted she lied about the attack. Her roommate, Rachel Beaumont, also confessed to hitting Sturdivant with a lacrosse stick to make it appear that she had been assaulted.

Breathing while Black
Opinion by Bob Herbert, The New York Times, 4 November 1999
A federal appeals court says it’s all right, but it’s not all right.

Here’s the lead paragraph from the New York Times story on a decision last week by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit:

A federal appeals court ruled yesterday that police officers in Oneonta, N.Y., did not violate the Constitution when they tried to stop every black man in town in 1992 after a woman said she had been robbed in her home by a young black man.

Got that? Every black man in town. This is New York, mind you, not Mississippi.

After hearing that a black man had committed a crime, the cops went after every black man they saw walking the streets. They dragooned black men and boys (and at least one black woman!) who were trying to use public transportation. They pulled over black guys riding in cars. They went to the State University of New York at Oneonta and got a list of all the black students in the school, and they went after them.
