The festering venom of racism has taken the life of a black man who committed no crime except in the eyes of those who disregarded his very right to live.
James Craig Anderson, a 49-year-old auto plant worker of Jackson, Mississippi was brutally murdered by White teens who went looking for a Black person—any Black person–to vent their savage racist hate upon.
According to a security guard witness, on June 26, 2011, two vehicles carrying seven White teens pulled into the parking lot of a motel in Jackson, MS at approximately 5:00A.M.
All seven White teens ganged up on a Black man who happened to be outside standing next to his vehicle. Mr. James Craig Anderson was nearly beaten to death by the teens. After he staggered to his feet to escape his tormentors, the ring leader of the group, Deryl Dedmon, Jr. got into his Ford F250 pickup and viciously ran Mr. Anderson down. The crime was caught on video. The following video gives the story on this horrific hate crime. WARNING: the video does have scenes of graphic violence.

Shortly after running Mr. Anderson down, Dedmon is alleged to have shouted: “I ran that nigger over.”
Neither of the accused have entered a plea.
Post-racial America?
“White power!”
“Let’s go fuck with some niggers.”
Yeah, right.

I think these 2 guys should be hanged and their bodies shown to their families and the whole world as white animals
