Anony-Bloggers

[first published: February 14, 2008]

"Anony-bloggers" is the phase coined by Kevin Roderick of LA Observed (I'm not sure if he invented it, this sort of infantile verbiage is common with bloggers).

Roderick gives such credence to anonymous bloggers that he openly sources one on his "prestigious" website, LA Observed (see post re: LA Observed) - obviously feeling no breach of journalistic ethics in doing so.

It is an "anony-blogger" here in the post below that spews some of the most racist writing I have ever seen. Aaron Proctor, moderator of the blog which posts this comment, is fully responsible for the content on his blog.

In response to "Dormitas" bashing Muir* (Anonymous refers to Dormitas as "Paul" - which Paul might this be? many people know the answer to this) Anonymous lets loose with a racist tirade in which he incriminates every black person in Pasadena and advocates for the STERILIZATION of black women!

"...blacks are disproportionately responsible for every type of violent crime in Pasadena"

"Parents need to be parents, and if they can't, they should be sterilized before they pollute the earth with more good for nothings".

*It is no small irony that John Muir is the alma-matter of Jackie Robinson himself and that Jackie's legacy is being so viciously trampled on here, right here, in Pasadena 2008. And yes, right at this very moment a Muir athlete sits in a Pasadena jail cell with no bail allowed to him.

I don't know about you but when I read the post, I cry. Here we are in 2008, yet hate on THIS scale, is allowed to flourish - and yes, I said allowed.

When content like this is published on a blog, it becomes like a hummingbird feeder for Hate. People with hate in their hearts, stop by to "feed" on this hate, enforcing (and strengthening) their own. To me, there is no difference between this post, and a Gun store that sells unregistered weapons - no difference at all.

This is Violence.
