From a loyal reader of local blogs comes this...

Apparently Ms. Anderson is quite peeved that Wes Blackman's readers are actually reading Ms. Anderson's blog AND GOD FORBID are documenting her racist remarks for all to see. Ms. Anderson's attacks on the African-American community are neurotic, distasteful, and undignified.

“For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed.” John 3:19-21

The way to deal with hate is to expose it and lay it out for all to see. You did just that, Mr. Blackman, and for that you have to deal with the ire and wrath. A reasonable person would reflect on past racist comments and admit they are wrong and apologize, but that would mean taking a higher path, and we all know that is unlikely.

Lynn Anderson said on her blog yesterday: “Instead of snide remarks or personal attacks, I would like to just see bloggers sticking to the topic at hand? And the other blogger [Wes Blackman] needs to stop copying my stuff to tear it apart with his own political view of the facts. You write your stuff. I will write mine-- never the twain will meet.” January 26, 2014

What was Wes Blackman's “personal attack” on Ms. Anderson? He posted Ms. Anderson's quotes about African-Americans on his blog for all the world to see. Without further commentary here are just some of Ms. Anderson's observations about “the blacks”:

“Retha [Commissioner Retha Lowe] wasn't elected because she was black although I would bet every single black person in this city voted for her.” June 8, 2013

“Ok...all you liberals like to hurl names and insults. Now I am a bigot in your eyes. Because I have a different view of the world than do you? I definitely have my own views. The one thing I am NOT, is a racist. Is that what you are? Isn't that the favorite personal attack or perhaps the ONLY personal attack you have here?” November 17, 2013

“For the past 30 years a large segment of black America has waged a war of violent retribution against white America.” September 5, 2013

“With every chance at success as every other American, violent crimes are being committed by angry black men who are taking out their frustrations on Whites. You could be the next target.” September 5, 2013 [note the use of capitalization]

“It's not just men. Black women are also joining in the hate […] Everyone needs to be very, very careful, and consider carrying a weapon.” September 5, 2013

“The rules of the 'knockout game' are typically the same no matter where it happens: Start with a group of black people. Find a white person. Punch him in the face. Don’t stop until the person is knocked out or your arms get tired … or the person is dead.” September 24, 2013

“You mean I should tell the large groups of black people not to let their kids throw their trash on the ground? I'd rather not have a punch in the face today. Thanks. Hispanics you can say something to. And I have. They apologize sincerely. Not blacks. Personal experience. I said something to a young black girl after I saw her throw a paper plate on the ground. She said something to her older friend, a black boy age about 12, about not littering, and he told her to Shut the EFF up.” October 25, 2013

“What he [Martin Luther King] did back 50 years ago was very brave. He ended up by the giving of his life to a racist..the ultimate sacrifice. And through his activism, the civil Rights Act was passed and integration began. We have come a long way. I personally do not know anyone who judge's someone by the color of their skin but judges their character and their intent.” January 21, 2014
