Every few years, a group of mindless political operatives shriek loudly about how I, William K. Wolfrum, am a racist. This, my friends, is an exercise in futility, as I am obviously not a racist. Nonetheless, these hateful smear mongers continue to pursue these charges.
These charges are baseless, and come from words that appeared at “William K. Wolfrum Chronicles” years ago, such as:
“Opinion polls consistently show only about 5% of blacks have sensible political opinions.”
“If you have ever been robbed by a black teen-aged male, you know how unbelievably fleet-footed they can be.”
“Racial Violence Will Fill Our Cities” because “mostly black welfare recipients will feel justified in stealing from mostly white ‘haves.’”
“I’ve urged everyone in my family to know how to use a gun in self defense. For the animals are coming.”
“Jury verdicts, basketball games, and even music are enough to set off black rage, it seems.”
Other lying, slander-demons have pointed out that William K. Wolfrum Chronicles often supports right-wing militia thinking and anti-Semetic beliefs. They point to anti-civil rights words that appeared here, such as:
(Boy, it sure burns me to have a national holiday for that pro-Communist philanderer, Martin Luther King. I voted against this outrage time and time again as a Congressmen [sic]. What an infamy that Ronald Reagan Approved it! We can thank him for our annual Hate Whitey Day.)
Listen to a black radio talk show in any major city. The Racial Hatred makes a KKK rally look tame. The blacks talk about their own racial superiority, how the whites have a conspiracy to wipe them out, and how they are going to take over the country and enact retribution.
Or they bring up homophobic words that appeared here, such as:
AIDS sufferers “enjoy the attention and pity that comes with being sick.”
“Homosexuals, not to speak of the rest of society, were far better off when social pressure forced them to hide their activities.”
There is a simple reason why these words appeared at William K. Wolfrum Chronicles: They weren’t written by me. They were written by someone else. I have no idea who. But man, that person is a jerk.
So there you have it. I have detailed the charges against me and shown them all to be false. Like the great Dr. Ron Paul before me, I am being judged for something that has nothing to do with me. I will fight these attacks with ferocity by continually telling people one thing – It wasn’t me.
My friends, William K. Wolfrum Chronicles – written, edited and bankrolled by me, William K. Wolfrum – is not a racist, homophobic or anti-semetic Web site and contains no such views, except the above examples and probably some other ones. But they have nothing to do with me. Case closed. So let’s drop this subject and talk about how the Gold Standard will save us all.

The soldiers who landed in Normandy on D-Day were greeted as liberators, but by the time American G.I.’s were headed back home in late 1945, many French citizens viewed them in a very different light.
In the port city of Le Havre, the mayor was bombarded with letters from angry residents complaining about drunkenness, jeep accidents, sexual assault — “a regime of terror,” as one put it, “imposed by bandits in uniform.” [.....]
“What Soldiers Do,” to be officially published next month by the University of Chicago Press, arrives just as sexual misbehavior inside the military is high on the national agenda, thanks...

[....] As of Monday, just under 600,000 claims qualified as backlogged, meaning they had been pending for over 125 days.
Though the numbers have grown, delays in processing disability claims are nothing new, and neither are complaints about the backlog. Just last year, some veterans advocates tried to make the backlog a presidential campaign issue. They failed. But this year, something changed: the criticism grew louder and perhaps more partisan, and began reaching a wider audience.
A new conservative-leaning nonprofit organization, Concerned Veterans...

In a scathing new report Monday, the Department of Justice’s Office of the Inspector General accused onetime Arizona U.S. Attorney Dennis K. Burke of leaking confidential documents to a reporter in a politically-motivated attempt to “undermine” a whistleblower who helped spark the investigation into the “Fast and Furious” operation.
Burke, a former aide to Janet Napolitano while she was Arizona governor and then secretary of Homeland Security, was appointed as U.S. attorney by President Obama in 2009. He resigned as he was initially being questioned about the leak in 2011.
The Inspector General...

The White House on Monday defended President Obama’s support for aggressive investigations into national security leaks despite new disclosures about a 2009 case in which the Justice Department searched a reporter’s personal e-mails and attempted to track his movements.

Even by the standards of the TED conference, Henry Markram’s 2009 TEDGlobal talk was a mind-bender. He took the stage of the Oxford Playhouse, clad in the requisite dress shirt and blue jeans, and announced a plan that—if it panned out—would deliver a fully sentient hologram within a decade. He dedicated himself to wiping out all mental disorders and creating a self-aware artificial intelligence. And the South African–born neuroscientist pronounced that he would accomplish all this through an insanely ambitious attempt to build a complete model of a human brain—from synapses to hemispheres—and simulate it on a supercomputer. Markram was proposing a project that has bedeviled AI researchers for decades, that most had presumed was impossible. He wanted...
This is an outrage!
Well that is one downside of being famous.
Nobodies like me are never libeled like this.
Just as an aside I found this today:
A black tenant filed a discrimination complaint with the commission after Hein accused his teenage daughter of using chemicals in her hair that made the water “cloudy.” Days later, she posted the sign on the gate to the pool.
Hein has so far been unapologetic, and is asking the commission to reconsider their ruling. “If I have to stick up for my white rights, I have to stick up for my white rights,” she said. She recently defended her actions to ABC News, giving the curious excuse that the sign was merely “historical”:

There are people out there who are happy about racism.
They call it historical. hahahahah
From one of the comments on your links that for some reason I found interesting:
HAHAHAHAH
Ha!
I should have heeded that "Caution Depression Ahead" sign. Maybe I adjusting the station on my radio at time.
The sign says that the pool is public, not private. A citizen would be confused and think that discrimination would be illegal at a public facility. If the landlord wanted it clear that the pool was on her private property, she should not have put up a misleading sign.
(Free legal advice from a non-attorney spokesman).
Classic. Herman Cain's theme song.
That "Not Me" guy?
Fuck him. Looks Klan to me.
Haha! Well played, sir!
This article is racist against forgetful people.
