Unfortunately, the White contractor who was most in danger exhibits a slight White Stockholm syndrome weasel response by saying he doesn't wish anything bad on the Black who had just tried to kill him.
And, speaking of this White Stockholm syndrome, remember Reginald Denny, the White truck driver who was almost beaten to death in the '92 LA Black riots, and how Denny said that he understood why they wanted to attack him [because he's White]?
Whites saying such dumb things after being attacked for the color of their skin aren't doing other Whites any favors, because such statements help supply a moral justification to the Black attackers of Whites and such statements also embolden other Blacks to attack Whites.
There should not be one kind or understanding or weasel word uttered by Whites who are attacked by Blacks. No one has a right to attack you. Period.

Here's a current example of hypocrisy and stupidity that we spotted in the Daily Pilot today.
Thomas Eastmond, in his commentary in the Daily Pilot, "Consider ideas at face value without regard to who's promoting them," HERE, maintains that we should consider the message and not the messenger.
Now, this is simply a nice way of stating that small minded and stupid people often try to attack an idea with an attack on the person who is propounding the idea--an ad hominem fallacy--instead of attacking the idea itself. As Eastmond correctly points out [my words here], an idea should stand or fall on its own merits and should not do so based on who posited the idea.
After Eastmond's commentary, some of the usual dim witted haters chime in with posts and agree with Eastmond. However, in doing so, many of them simply underline their own hypocrisy and stupidity. Most of these haters constantly attack others and not the ideas of the others. They often do this against the mayor and mayor pro tem, but this isn't limited to these two. They also make personal attacks against anyone who even suggests that what the mayor and mayor pro tem are doing is helping improve Costa Mesa.
But enough of theory.
Here's what this sissified and lonely old man Geoff West writes after Eastmond's column:

I agree with each of the comments above 100%. And, as I read some of the names and knowing a little bit about their political leanings, I'm very amused. I find myself wondering what was running through their heads as they read this exceptional essay. Kudos to Mr. Eastmond for providing us with such a thought-provoking commentary.
Now, doesn't that sound as though West agrees that one should consider ideas and not the person propounding the ideas?
But...read on.
After a recent column I wrote appeared in the Daily Pilot, the constant attention seeking West, no doubt trying to put meaning into his sterile and meaningless life in his declining years, made a really stupid post in a feeble minded way to attack the messenger (me).
In my column, I had written that it is good to have some doers [such as the mayor and mayor pro tem] on the Costa Mesa City council and not just people who show up, smile and cash their checks after rubber stamping just about anything staff puts in front of them. HERE
West's post below is nothing but his attempt at attacking the messenger and has nothing at all to do with my column in the Daily Pilot. HERE'S MY COLUMN, AGAIN.[Scroll down under the letter on water conservation, as the DP editor turned my column into a letter and then tried to bury it under the Water conservation letter].

I'm sure the current city council will be pleased as punch to know that they have an avid fan in the form of the guy who wrote the "city council doers" letter, above. Yes, sir, considering his body of work and the views for which he has become internationally notorious, I wonder if he will be embraced in Mayor Righeimer and Lee Ramos campaign camps. Certainly, he is entitled to his views, just don't forget where he's coming from. If they hold him at arm's length while he praises their tactics how does that square? If you want to know what he REALLY thinks about the world around us, check out his prodigious library of essays at this site (check your gag reflex at the door as you scroll down through the titles - the essays are actually more onerous than some of those titles might suggest) http://www.newnation.org/ Millard/index.html
And, West was seconded in his attack on the messenger (me) in this truly stupid post by somebody calling himself Bob Lee.

Now, I really must add that I care what West and these other dimwits think about me about as much as I care what monkeys in the zoo think of me. These are mostly not very bright people. But, I do like to point out just how stupid some of them are since they seem, as a group, to constantly post comments that only affirm how dumb they are.
Exactly, Geoff. I've read some of his vile prose. When I see a letter published from this man, I think, "David Duke must've not been available."

And, here, just for completeness, is what I wrote about the comments from West and this other character Bob Lee in an earlier article in the CM PRESS:

We like to put faces to such comments, however, we don't have a photo of Bob Lee yet.
