OneNewsNow: "Black people are riot prone"

Ah, Jim Brown, non-journalist flunkie for the Weekly World News of the Christian press, OneNewsNow (official newspaper of the HJHOP Short Bus), sets off yet another lack of a firestorm with the headline: "Could an Obama loss spark race riots?"

So, uh, which unknown asshat is OneNewsNow quoting instead of finding a real story today? It's David Corbin. Yeah, me neither. He has a job at The King's College teaching history. This would seem to be a fairly easy job to land:

"I don't think that's something that we've looked at very closely, and I think that this could be a powder keg here as we get towards that day, given that Senator Obama is an African-American and given that there might be some backlash if he actually loses," Corbin explains.

Corbin notes that seemingly small stories involving O.J. Simpson and Rodney King have brought into play terrible riots in major cities across the U.S. "I think a lot of people are looking to an Obama presidency to affirm the notion that somehow Americans aren't racist and, if for some reason Senator Obama loses, then it's just, 'Oh well, it's said and done. We must be a racist nation,'" Corbin adds.

Wow. Race baiting much? If Obama loses the popular vote and there are riots, it will be because the electoral college has long outlived its utility, not because Obama is a blackfellow.

Funny story that actually kind of relates to this. I was a sophomore at Notre Dame when the O.J. verdict was read out. You remember the buzz that day, right? We were in Sean's room, watching the tube. When the words "not guilty" rang out, the residence hall was dead silent. You could have heard a mouse fart, at least I think that's what it was. And breaking that concussive came a voice from the end of the hall: "Let's riot!" It was about the funniest thing that I ever heard, at least up to that point.

What I'm saying is that I don't remember any race riots after the O.J. trial. White women, however, are going to go apeshit if Palin doesn't get elected.

Got to go...
