* " Authorities at a Christian university near Chicago moved dozens of black and Hispanic students to a hotel for their own safety and police stepped up patrols on campus Friday after three people received threatening, racist letters.
"They feel there are targets on their back because they are black, because they are involved in interracial dating relationships.... "Most of what I see is good Christian character,"... "My understanding is that they're supposed to start shooting the black kids"... Those letters directed recipients to break off their interracial relationships "or they're going to be castrated, shot or set on fire."" LINK
please take me back to the verge of a brave new world of 1999 or thereabouts. please. "interracial dating"? wtf????

* jodi wilgoren covers the 'interracial dating' story for the nyt. does she own the hate beat? heres the university president: "Just as the crucifixion led to a resurrection, sometimes a challenge like this can help an entity like ours become what it wants to be." - im not exactly sure that's the sort of analogy we want when there are death threats floating around...
this is the sort of stuff i was hoping to discuss the other day. when politicians call for the death of 'anti-god' judges, and eric rudolph can do a deal and read his manifesto, and vigilantes are 'protecting' the borders, its not really surprising that there are death threats toward people for inter-racial dating by christo-crazies. all this shit is getting mainstreamed, and its really effin dangerous.
