NAACP Condemns Neal Boortz's Violent Comments.

http://www.11alive.com/news/article/194992/40/Critics-condemn-Boortz-rant-on-violent-crime I just heard on the radio this evening that a number of people found what Neal Boortz said to have been racially charged. I myself feel that they are implicitive, but not explicitly indicitive, of refering to inner city blacks. Here is why. 1. He refers to them as being urban. Whom else would you expect to find in an urban setting? And since Atlanta is a city itself, the word urban is redundant. 2. The word thug is historicly associated with perpetrators whom were of a colored people. It is borrowed into English from the Hindi word "thuggee". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thuggee Dark skinned people from southern India would prey upon the priviledged light skinned people from the north. I also feel that his calls for "thugs" to be shot dead in the streets is ambiguous in context. Did he just mean that they should be met with deadly armed force in the course of armed robberies on there part, or does he favor retaliatory attacks upon the villages where they live? I think that some people are afraid that someone might become motivated by this to engage in vigilante actions. Sort of like in the book, and film, "Death Wish". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_Wish Incidently, I know that Mr. Boortz is ideologicly a neolibertarian. http://wikibin.org/articles/neolibertarianism.html So unlike other libertarians, he might not necessarily oppose taking the initiative in combating criminal gangs. Other libertarians, including left-libertarians, oppose the idea of commiting aggression for any reason. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonaggression_principle Though we certainly do recognise the personal right to defend oneself with purportionate force. But to single out an entire segment of people infringes upon the concept of indivisual responsibility. A particular group of people should not therefore be held to be guilty by association. I hope that Neal Boortz will clarify his remarks, if he did not intend for it to be taken to mean what some are insinuating.
