A black man from Mississippi has been arrested and accused of sending racist death threats over the Internet to three black students at Louisiana's Nicholls State University.
The FBI in New Orleans said Dyron Hart, 19, was arrested Wednesday. He is accused of sending the messages by way of the students' Facebook accounts. The messages contained racial epithets and death threats and were sent to two black women and a black man at Nicholls State in Thibodaux, La.
Exclusive: Associated Press Pushes New Theme: Threats Against Obama.
In the Third World and within populist ideologies, the manufacture of a mythical danger is a part of the consolidation of a regime. It creates sympathy for the sitting leader and grants him moral power to increase the security apparatus. While we don’t have evidence that the news agency is promoting such activity, we can clearly see a pattern, and perhaps even a strategy, in the way the report presented the threat. From their own assertions, we see that the security sources are cautious and refuse to comment on the allegations of "hyper threats" while the writers insist on finding the menace in a flier posted on a tree or a silly game in some town's 7-11 shop.

I guess there is a "B" carver on every side of this isn't there?
Hart told an FBI agent that he sent the messages to "get a reaction," according to the agent's sworn statement.

Is it possible that the sudden rash of anti-Obama death-threats are a tool to endear the public to Obama/increase support for "security measures"? How many death-threats were made against George Bush while he was in office?

Pretending to be white and threatening violence against black students? Threatening to kill 3,00 black people so he could "get a reaction". That is truly vexing. I don't really believe that was his only motivation though, there has to be more than that. Makes me wonder how many other "white racist" guys are really white.

But, it seems he "got a reaction", I'm sure it's one that he didn't expect he'd get either, hopefully this may send a message to any others out there doing the same thing, or thinking about doing it. But, I doubt it.

I wouldn't doubt it, but, I don't think it's that likely, but it can't be counted out either. I think people are using the fact that Obama is black and threatening violence against him, because it's obviously going to stir up a lot of tension. As it has been doing.

I'm going to have to go ahead and say that a few stories don't make a tendency to for blacks to make up hate crimes within the black community.

And that's nothing compared to the actual hate crimes committed against black people.

I don't see how this would be a reason to increase national security. I don't even see how this would be a reason for Obama to increase his own personal security. He is a half black man with ideas that are almost out of grasp with this country, he should already have security to the max.
