The crime that causes the FBI (Federal Bureau of Indifference) and Pitts to lose no sleep?
The FBI is investigating threats against Leonard Pitts Jr., a Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist for The Miami Herald, after a column he wrote about black-on-white crime triggered a furor on white supremacist websites.
Days after The Miami Herald published Pitts' column, Overthrow.com posted his address, his home phone number and his wife's name. Several other white supremacist Internet sites followed suit, and one gave directions to his house along with a satellite image of the neighborhood.
Pitts said that none of the threats was specific and that ''nobody has come to the house.''
It seems that in January, a young white couple, Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom, were victims of a brutal crime. They were carjacked, kidnapped, raped and murdered. Cleaning fluid was sprayed into Christian's mouth. She was stuffed in a trash can and apparently suffocated. Newsom was shot and set afire. His body was dumped. Five blacks, one a woman, have been arrested.The nuanced response of the Pulitzer Prize winning Pitts...
...one occasionally hears mewling noises from that subset of my white countrymen who feel put upon by big, bad racial minorities. This is one of those times. And Knoxville, Tenn., has become the capital city of that lunatic fringe.You see in the racist world view of Leonard Pitts it is impossible for Whites to ever be oppressed, even as they are being tortured and killed by gangs of Blacks.

I am likewise unkindly disposed toward the crackpots, incendiaries and flat-out racists who have chosen this tragedy upon which to take an obscene stand. I have four words for them and any other white Americans who feel themselves similarly victimized.
Cry me a river.
"It always amazes me when white people put on the victim hat."
How about the victim shroud, Mr. Pitts?
