According to census data, Leelanau County is 93% white and 0.8% black. Clearly, this dumbfuck has reason to fear that black people are taking his slice of the country away from him.

The Gentleman clearly said "Paddies". While our friend in Michigan might want to go into a whole discourse on the difference between Paddies and Micks, I think we should concentrate on the similarities - i.e., they are both bigoted AF. So I think the Gentleman has fulfilled his duty to adequately try to elaborate on this witless asshole's outdated attitudes and violent opinions.

But, uh...if you were, say, trying to gather a bunch of people to explain to Herr Eckerle exactly WHY we are upset, I think further investigation into his opinions might garner a wider-spread cross section of the population that he thinks are " not a person whatsoever." Cause dog knows this ass wouldn't be able to censor his flea-bitten brain functions even if it meant saving his skin, let alone his job.

In my experience, the whole idea of hordes coming for them stems from a logical question: "If positions were reversed, if you were treated by minorities the way you treat minorities, what would you do?" And the answer in their brains is always "I would pour out of the cities and kill everyone I could find." And that's why they think it will happen - it's totally logical to them. To their myopic underdeveloped lumps of flea-ridden refuse they use for brains.

I don't think they ever heard the second part of the eye for an eye saying, where everyone ends up blind. Or if they did, they have delusions of Rambohood, where they end up the one-eyed man who is king.

I saw the So-Called Christians open for Bikini Kill in '03. From what I've been told, it was a great show.

Black Lives Matter is only interested in getting society to treat Blacks equally. This doesn't involve taking a single goddamn thing away from whites who aren't racist.
