The McCain Supporter and Her Scarlet B

Keith Josef Adkins

WARNING:  The following post contains the TONE of one black man who's exhausted with white women blaming black men for ANYTHING

So a Pittsburgh woman claims a 6'4" dark-skinned black man with shiny shoes carved a "B" for Barack into her face for driving through her ciy with a McCain bumper sticker.  And guess who gave the victim and her family a shout to offer their moral support and, of course, to express their outrage that some evil black man would do what evil black men who support Obama do—sit on her face and razor-cut a B into her check, backwards?  Yeh, you guessed it.  McCain and his best gal-pal, Sarah Palin.

I think it's horrible for anyone to be attacked at an ATM and it's certainly horrifying to have to hand over your last 60 dollars to a towering black man and for him to punch you and then sit on you and carve a B into your face, for political reasons.  [Yes, I'm having issues of logic with a 6'4" man sitting on a seemingly much shorter woman and carving a backwards B.  He would have had to hold down her head with his hand, or with his inner-thighs, in order to carve that B.  But then wouldn't she have kicked and screamed as the razor sliced her skin?  And wouldn't that make that perfect B much more imperfect.  You know, jagged or something.  I'm no detective, but something smells real calculated.

Now if I'm wrong about my suspicion and a man actually attacked her at the ATM and indeed cut her then I will be forever humbled and I'll keep my mouth shut from now until the end of time, HOWEVER... I know it's certainly possible for some crazed lunatic to do anything these days and certainly SAY ANYTHING, but what lunatic could masterfully carve a perfect B into the face of someone and then for the ATM surveillance cameras not to pick it up. 

Obviously, I don't know this woman, so I'm not judging her on a personal tip, but my "white women crying wolf" suspicion flag is waving.   And as we know, two things could come out of this.  If it's true, the McCain-Palin posse could send the hounds after Obama and his warped followers and the country will be outraged.  And if it's not true, then I'm going to personally fly out to Pittsburgh, knock on this woman's door just to say:  Leave Black men alone!  We're sick and tired of being the center piece in the American blame game.  And if somebody sat on your face and took the time to carve a perfect backwards B into your cheek... then why can't you remember anything else about him except HIS SHINY SHOES?!

I warned you.

Funny, throw some glasses on her and she looks a little like Susan Smith.

Sort of like that Joe the Plumber bit (see the White House Plumbers/Nixon).  Its like were in elementary school but with grown-ups!

I'm a white woman and my "white women crying wolf" suspicion flag is waving too. Being an Obama supporter I know it would be just dumb to attack someone for not supporting my candidate. I know whats at stake and like a highschool student on a field trip I am on my best behavior because I represent my candidate in my community. Us Obama supporters know that, we wouldnt be so stupid as to do something like that! I doubt the person who did (or didnt) attack this women was truely motivated by politics, they could have carved the "B" on her face to throw people off their trail and confuse the cops. Aside from that why carve a "B"? Only the GOP and Michelle Obama really call him Barack. The GOP does it because they want to press the "funny name" angle and Michelle because he's her husband you dont call your husband by your last name. The rest of us call him Obama, and so it would be logical to carve an "O" in her face.

This is just silly. Take a look at the photo. Does that look like a real black eye or does it look like something you would do with a Halloween make up kit?

The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review is reporting that "police want [the woman] to be tested by a polygraph machine because her statements allegedly do not tally with records from the cashpoint where she says the attack took place."

Playing up this story fits well with Matt Drudge's purposes. Anyone elese who is taking it at all seriously (present company excepted, of course) really needs their head examining.

That "B" would look right if she were *gasp* looking in a mirror.  Not that'd I'd ever presume she did it herself while looking in a mirror and isn't intelligent enough to do it backwards so it looks correct to those of us that have to see her lying face.  And I like shoes as much as the next woman, but if a grown man was physically attacking me I'd sure as heck remember what his pants and shirt and FACE looked like.  But that's just me.

I don't believe it...not one, single, solitary word.  

White women cryin' "wolf"...or "assault" or their favorite one..."rape" isn't anything new.  

Wonder how long it'll take, once investigators dissect her "story", for her to "confess" that she lied...

IM SOO SICK RIGHT NOW. These people wonder why black folks say they are ashamed to be American sometimes. who wants to live in a place where its just ok to get black men murdered and maimed for some false sense of fear can be served. its so vile and dirty and devilish that when it happens you wonder how people can look you in the face and claim to be good anything much less christians and Americans and laugh this off as politics. its demeaning to a people and serves nothing but the racists redneck mob that would like nothing more than a reason to start up the Klan rallies and such. JOHN MCCAIN didnt do this and he is not a man i would think that supports it, but hes allowing it to happen on his watch and he is going to destroy his life and legacy like this.

just another distraction so we dont notice the stock marketing imploding.  

I dont mean to insult giant imaginary muggers.  but that dude writes like a girl.


Posted By: Keith Josef Adkins (October 24, 2008 at 2:16 PM)

TECHJITSU... Thanks. My editors here at TheRoot just gave me the news.

So, obviously, the McCain-Palin camp are still believers in "if a white woman calls Black Wolf it must be true".

I KNEW it was a lie!!!  I KNEW it!!!!

Do any of you remember Morton Downey Jr.  After his TV show was cancelled, he claimed that e was attacked by skinheads who drew a swastika on his face.  The only problem is that the swastika was backwards, kinda implying that Downey drew it on himself while he was looking in the mirror.

He's dead now.

Now it's out that this woman was lieing!  I am so angry with people always putting this mess on black men!  But this is how the Republicans think...a bunch of racist.  It sure didn't take Palin & that air head Elizabeth from the view to call this crazy girl to show her some sympathy without knowing the facts.  What a world!


Posted By: miss lauren (October 24, 2008 at 3:29 PM)

Just an update. The liar is being prosecuted. She lied to the police and has confessed.


Posted By: marciamarciamarcia (October 24, 2008 at 4:34 PM)

Ashley Todd's Myspace page reads: "Lying is the most fun a girl can have without being naked."   For real.  Her Facebook has a vlog about a black "mean janitor" who ripped down her campaign posters and she filmed him and posted it.  Miss College Station, Texas is trying to get a brotha lynched.  

The VP of Fox News says if McCain's campaign worker's story is a hoax, he is "over" and will be forever tied to racebaiting.  I can't wait to see Faux News tonight, then.

How SICK is "Amerikkka" and the MSM?!?


Posted By: Soldier's Mom (October 24, 2008 at 6:20 PM)

 It We should add hate-crime penalties to filing a false police report for anyone who falsely claims to have been assaulted by a member of another race.  

 This, because of the defamation that occurs to members of the other race and for exacerbating America's racial problems.


Posted By: marciamarciamarcia (October 24, 2008 at 7:20 PM)

Oldmilitant: I'm AMERICAN.  You don't have to squeeze some Ks in there to blast a lying liar for lying.  Seems to me there are some folks trolling this blog in order to provide talking points to right wingers about black folks hatred of the US.  

I love my country, I just can't stand the historical myopia:  I was almost waiting for Ashley Todd's Twitter post of: I only asked him to bust up my chiffarobe and then...


Posted By: MilesEllison (October 24, 2008 at 7:49 PM)

This is an oldie but a goodie.  It's amazing that people still fall for this kind of thing.  Personally, I think some McCain operative paid her to say this.  And going forward, people will still claim that it happened. Just like there are people still claiming that Obama is a muslim.  

She's admitted that ths made it up.  Just like Charles Stuart, who shot his pregnant wife and blamed a mythical black man.  Just like Susan Smith, who drowned her children and blamed a mythical black man. And so on, and so forth.  


Posted By: txchelle (October 24, 2008 at 8:29 PM)

For the record: Ashley Todd's racially motivated accusations are despicable. There is no excuse for her actions. She does not represent McCain supporters. She represents everything that is wrong with the human race.

txchelle - a Christian, Texan, conservative, white person - in that order.

Wasn't this the plot in some old slient movie?

"It We should add hate-crime penalties to filing a false police report for anyone who falsely claims to have been assaulted by a member of another race."

Agreed. Not to hijack a thread but how does everyone feel about the Duke rape case and Tawana Brawley?


Posted By: MilesEllison (October 25, 2008 at 10:36 AM)

Fair comment re: Duke rape case and Tawana Brawley.  

I would ask this:  how does everyone feel about the thousands of lynchings from Reconstruction until the mid 20th century that were not prosecuted, many of which were the result of this kind of false accusation by white women?  About the many black men falsely accused of crimes and later found to be innocent?  Why was Susan Smith portrayed as crazy and not racist?  Why wasn't there more outrage when Charles Stuart cold bloodedly murdered his wife and blamed a mythical black man, causing many innocent black men to actually be detained by the police?  


Posted By: kdog (October 25, 2008 at 12:21 PM)

MilesEllison

Outraged of course. I don't nor have I ever believed in double standards when it comes to the law.  I hope this answers your question.


Posted By: onas (October 25, 2008 at 4:23 PM)

Does anyone knows how dangerous the accusation was. I am glad that it didn't happen in one of the red states. Just imagine the ramifications?  


Posted By: Fed Up (October 26, 2008 at 3:40 PM)

what? and if she did do it to herself was just her way of trying to keep a terrorist from becoming presdident. I dont care if Obama is purple yellow or red he is not a servent of America and the worst about him has not even been exposed to us yet. Lets not find out VOTE Mcain.

Oldmilitant: I'm AMERICAN.  You don't have to squeeze some Ks in there to blast a lying liar for lying.

Um...actually, Oldmilitant was absolutely right to do that.  

White women lying on men is actually, a tradition...primarily white, Southern Racist tradition that brought on the wrath of the KKK...wonder how many black men in this country, from slavery to present, were lynched and mutilated because of what some white woman said he "did" to her?

Many whites were all too willing to believe this story.  Word is, McCain contacted her, as did that bubbleheaded blonde Elizabeth on the View, to offer "sympathy".  Not to mention the shrieking for Obama to "address" the "assault.

Wonder how stupid McCain and Elizabeth feel, right about now?

Both the woman in the Duke case and Tawana Brawley were wrong.  What's your point??

White women have been lying on black men since the first African set their feet on American soil.  Many voluntarily slept with black men, and they cried rape, others tried to "push up" on a brotha, and when he rebuffed her, either out of fear for his own safety...or because he wasn't interested/attracted...they cried rape.

Did you not read my response to MilesEllison? My point is there are no saints on either side when it comes to "bearing false witness." Whats your point??

Was it really necessary to point that out...as if we didn't already know it??

Please pick someone esle to patronize or pick an arguement with. I really don't have the time...Peace


Posted By: Patra (October 27, 2008 at 1:02 PM)

I did not "pick at" nor "patronize" you.  I asked you a question.

I'll ask another...when is it, whenever white people do something foul, someone has to take a blast to the past and dig up something an African American did?


Posted By: kdog (October 27, 2008 at 2:01 PM)

Patra....

You really need to ask that "someone." Once again did you not read my post? I try not to get in these back and forth arguements on the internet. Do you understand now???
