Racial-slurring Boston cop says he's not a racist

Only his mama would believe him.

Justin Barrett (right), the Boston police officer who sent a mass e-mail calling Harvard Prof. Henry Louis Gates Jr. a "banana-eating jungle monkey" has apologized, saying he's not a racist.

Are you fucking kidding me? I'm not racially touchy, and even I can see that that remark couldn't possibly be taken any other way.

"I regret that I used such words," Barrett told CNN affiliate WCVB-TV. "I have so many friends of every type of culture and race you can name. I am not a racist." Sure you're not.

He regrets it because he's about to lose his job. But he's toast. Banana-eating jungle monkey? WTF!

Barrett was placed on administrative leave after allegedly sending the mass e-mail to his National Guard buddies and the Boston Globe (what a dunce!) in which he vented about a July 22 Globe column on the Gates arrest, and he might lose his job as a result.

Yesterday I said that putting the racial issue aside, this guy should get fired for being this stupid. No one this dumb should carry a weapon and be in a position to arrest people. (See Dumb Boston cop fired for racist email re: Gates.)

I can't wait to see him explain how his jungle-monkey remarks are not racist tonight at Larry King Live. Surely, a lawyer will be sitting next to him or off camera.

I used to live in Massachusetts. I've heard about the monkeys, which were usually described as "swinging off trees" by the "non"-racist people when talking about black people. Trust me--it's 100% racial.

In a news conference held Thursday morning, Boston Police Commissioner Edward Davis denounced the e-mail, CNN reported.

"We have a relationship to maintain with the community," he said. "Police officers certainly have First Amendment rights, but they can't cross the line. I believe this crosses the line."

Davis said he spoke with Gates, who was "gracious and incredibly thankful that we took action."

Gates, a top African-American scholar, was arrested on July 16 by Sgt. James Crowley of the Cambridge Police for disorderly conduct after the officer responded to a 911 call reporting a possible home invasion of Gates Cambridge home. The charge later was dropped.

The controversial incident sparked a national debate about racial profiling in which even President Obama got involved. (See Obama-Gates-Crowley Beer Summit scheduled, posted yesterday. For background and additional information, click on the links for earlier stories at the end of the post.)

Globe columnist Yvonne Abraham supported Gates' actions, asking readers, "Would you stand for this kind of treatment, in your own home, by a police officer who by now clearly has no right to be there?"

In Barrett's e-mail, which was posted on a Boston TV station's website, he stated that if he had "been the officer [Gates] verbally assaulted like a banana-eating jungle monkey, I would have sprayed him in the face with OC [oleoresin capsicum, or pepper spray] deserving of his belligerent non-compliance."

Barrett used the "jungle monkey" phrase four times, three times referring to Gates and once referring to Abraham's writing as "jungle monkey gibberish," CNN reported.

One time and he might have been able to tip-toe around with some insanely concocted excuse. But four times? He's toast.

Barrett also said that he was "not a racist but I am prejudice [sic] towards people who are stupid and pretend to stand up and preach for something they say is freedom but it is merely attention because you do not get enough of it in your little fear-dwelling circle of on-the-bandwagon followers."

And he apologized last night? What for? An apology alone does not change a man's character.

Barrett's comments were taken out of context, said his attorney, Peter Marano. So it's my and everyone else's fault because we're idiots who either can't read or can't understand what we read. Right.

"Officer Barrett did not call professor Gates a jungle monkey or malign him racially," Marano said. "He said his behavior was like that of one. It was a characterization of the actions of that man." Or a monkey...

Um...I don't think that will fly.

Davis wants Barrett, a two-year member of the Boston police, fired, a source close to the investigation said. But he will continue to be paid while on leave, and no date has been set for his termination hearing, CNN reported.

UPDATE: As expected, Barrett appeared on Larry King Live sitting closely to his lawyer, who took it upon himself to answer for the cop several times until Larry cut him off.

Before answering any questions, Barrett again repeated what he had memorized of the apology given earlier today. It sounded rehearsed. "I'm not racist," he said once or twice during that introduction.

Alrighty. Then, why did you apologize for what you said if it wasn't a racist comment?

Larry asked one really smart and crucial question: "Have you ever used that language before."

Take a guess at what the cop said. You got it.

"No, I have never used those words before."

There's no way he hasn't, and now he's fucked because someone will come out of the woodwork and show up on Larry King to reveal that he or she has heard Barrett use that term before.

After another interruption from the lawyer, Larry wisely pressed on, asking the cop what then made him choose those words--"banana-eating jungle monkey"--if he's never used that kind of language before.

"I don't even know ... I couldn't tell you ... I have no idea," Barrett said.

Are you kidding me? How can he not know whether or not he's ever said something like banana-eating jungle monkey? He has no idea? Right. I tell you what, if that's the case, then in addition to racist and dumb, he's also a forgetful flake--another reason to keep him off the force, if you ask me.

This dunce sat down and composed a letter he expected an editor at the Boston Globe to take seriously and possibly publish. He was so proud of it, he also sent it out via a mass email to friends at the National Guard.

Writing such a letter forces the writer to pay more attention to word choice than when merely speaking the words, which often happens a bit too soon after thoughts emerge, so we "speak before we think" and end up regretting our words. It happens to all of us. It happened to Obama when he said, "the Cambridge police acted stupidly" arresting Gates in his own house.

"There was no intentional racism or bigotry in my words," Barrett said. "I did not intend that."

Then, what exactly did you intend, and what did you think those words would communicate?

The truth is he does know, he could tell us but chooses not to, and he does have an idea. Of course he does. But what is he gonna say--"yes, I've used that language before"? Of course not, because that would mean he's a racist, which he vehemently denies.

If he tells the truth, he's fucked. If he lies, he's fucked. Basically, he's toast.

"I treat people with dignity and respect ... I'm not a racist."

This guy could use his own "teaching moment," if you ask me.

Dumb Boston cop fired for racist email re: Gates

Not this time, you're not!

How stupid does a cop--in Boston of all places--have be to send a mass email calling Prof. Gates a "jungle monkey"?

While he's getting fired for the racial slurs, he might as well be fired for being such a monumental dunce. Someone with such lack of common sense, shouldn't be in a law enforcement position, if you ask me.

Police officer Justin Barrett has been put on administrative leave after using racist slurs to describe Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr., who has been at the center of a controversial and highly publicized arrest in which even President Obama has gotten involved.

The 36-year-old cop was stripped of his gun and badge on Tuesday afternoon when Boston Police Commissioner Edward David learned that Barrett was the author the email.

Barrett, who has been at his Boston police job for two years, is also a member of the National Guard, and the e-mail reportedly was sent anonymously to his fellow guard members and to the Boston Globe.

The leave is pending the outcome of a termination hearing, said Boston Police Department spokeswoman Elaine Driscoll. “There is no room on the department for someone who uses those words,” she said, declining to provide the specific text of the letter.

Boston Mayor Tom Menino described Barrett as a "cancer in the department" and said he should be fired immediately.

Barrett has no prior disciplinary history. An investigation on the matter is underway.

Gates, a 58-year-old preeminent African-American scholar, was arrested at his Cambridge home July 16 by a white Cambridge cop, triggering a national debate on race that reached all the way to the White House.

Gates and his arresting officer, Sgt. James Crowley, 42, are scheduled to "have a beer" at the White House with Obama tomorrow night to discuss the incident. The President became involved in the controversy when he said that “Cambridge police acted stupidly” when arresting Gates.

Jew hater opens fire in Holocaust museum

I've been avoiding this story all day. I'm not sure why.

Maybe I'm sick of racist sociopaths with guns. I mean, what else is new? Another Jew-hating psycho.

But we're approaching the end of the day, and as my fear of commitment to the story wanes I find that my desire to add this prick to the list of nominees for this week's Sick Fuck of the Week Award is greater than my ambivalence, so here we go.

In a nutshell: an 88-year-old white supremacist armed with a rifle opened fire at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., killing a security guard and unleashing hours of panic before he was shot by two other guards. Last I heard he was in a hospital in critical condition. (Police photo of James von Brunn)

That's because we're civilized. Otherwise, what would be the point of saving an 88-year-old sick fuck who opens fire on men, women and children hoping to murder some Jews because of a deeply ingrained belief system that couldn't possibly be "adjusted" or rehabilitated if he lived to be a thousand years old?

You think I'm being too harsh or negative? Read on.

James von Brunn--wow...a von-something...I've always wanted to be a squeaky clean von-something...not!--has an anti-Semitic website called Holy Western Empire and wrote a book in 2002 entitled "Kill the Best Gentiles!"

The website apparently has been removed by the authorities (I'm assuming for investigation purposes), but below is an excerpt from the book posted by Anderson Cooper of CNN where von Brunn explains what he calls the "American myth" of equality, which he claims Jews fabricated to disguise the reality that "Men and races are NOT created equal."

The “American myth” (created by JEWS) alleging our Founding Fathers intended that all races, from pygmy to Ainu, be invited to our shores, is based on Thomas Jefferson’s words in the Declaration of Independence: “…all men are created equal.” The meaning of this much quoted statement has been distorted by the ILLUMINATI which subjectively is re-writing history and wielding the alleged “HOLOCAUST” like a battle-ax at the heads of those proclaiming genetic certainties: Men and races are NOT created equal.

Jefferson’s statement can be understood only in context of his Era. Our Founding Fathers were Aryans, men of good breeding who understood, empirically, the great differences existing between strains of horses; strains of live-stock; races of men; and between individuals: knowledge confirmed today by the natural sciences of Genetics, Eugenics, and Anthropology. Hitler, as American boobs are beginning to learn, was not all wrong.

This Annapolis, Md., bigot killed Stephen Johns, 39, a six-year employee of the museum, which has been a target of at least one domestic terrorism threat in 2002, when two lovely members of white supremacist groups plotted to build a fertilizer bomb, like the one used to destroy an Oklahoma City federal building, to blow up the Holocaust museum and incite a race war.

Ironically, I bumped into a white supremacist forum last week while researching forum directories, and I decided to take a look at it out of curiosity.

I landed on a thread about relationships and the importance of making sure they don't date anyone who is not 100% white scientifically speaking. They research multiple generations and even take DNA tests to prove their supremacy with precision. Anyone whose blood has the slightest chance of being polluted by an ancestor of another race, be that Jewish, Asian, African American, Arab, Native American, Hispanic, you name it, is a non-person, an untouchable, scum.

What really impressed me was their confidence that they themselves are pure, even though anthropologists tell us that Africa gave birth to mankind. Although that's one of a number of theories, worldwide human population genetics do point to Africa as the origin of man.

Which means that white supremacists, neo-nazis, Aryan nationalists, odinists, white power skinheads, along with the rest of the world, are Africans.

Peace.
