"Some Black Guy Did it" Is still a plausible excuse

Oh Lord, you already know this is coming from Boston, the city that replaced "nigger" with "Monday."  Now, I'm a sarcastic motherfucker.  So, I read between the lines of everything Wes Welker's wife was saying in that facebook status.  Check this if you didn't hear about that.  Wes Welker's wife, because, she doesn't get a name.  A life of being pretty doesn't merit being called by name from me, especially when you're pretty enough to be sniveling little twat, and nobody says shit.

BUT, we're not gonna talk about her.  I'm not gonna do that.  I'm not gonna say she's choked more than her husband in big time playoff moments.  I'm not saying that.  Because I hate sarcasm.  Lulz. What I don't like is that it is the 21st century and people still use cookie-cutter perception models that shape their image of all black people.  You hear a teaser to the next news headline, and its a rape, or a robbery, or a murder, and the image that forms in your head is black man.  And at this point, any non-black reader seeing this goes, "well, that's not me, I would never."  Yes, you would, bitch, yes you would.  You don't even know you do it.  It's the reason people still cringe at the O.J. verdict.  He was so guilty.  I just know it!

Wes Welker's wife tossed out the usual black man stereotypes embodied by Ray Lewis.  6 kids by 4 wives.  Acquitted for murder and that he paid a family off.  Not only is this information false, I don't think many people were looking to even refute such falsehoods.  Because--well, I mean, we've all seen these stories before.  Can't we all just assume all of that's true?  And it's all under the veil of such snarky animosity. 

There are people who have never had to think about not only how their words affect others, but never thought why they think such things or where such thoughts even originated.  These people, we call 'stupids.'  I'm not worried about the stupids like Wes Welker's titty doll.  What I'm worried about are the people who know these things and use them to capitalize and in some cases, get away with some very heinous crimes. 

"A BLACK GUY DID IT!"  Check out the Charles Stuart case of 1989 (Boston, who'da thunk it, right?), or even more recently the Bob Bashara case of 2011 (Grosse Pointe, Detroit suburb).  Both of them are the same.  All evidence points to the husband killing wifey.  But the media, perhaps not even the justice system, just latches on to one thing the public seems plausible, and they just ride with it.  That something is: some black guy did it.  Say that, and they will have these dummy cops searching every black man in the city, because that is just more plausible, than investigating the one guy with motive.  How many innocent black men have went to the chair or underneath the oak tree, for a white woman they didn't have anything to do with, didn't even know?
