its a defense mechanism
Many people can only look at themselves in the mirror for a short period of time before offloading blame
like the previous whacko defensive ideas of the CIA creating and spreading aids and drugs to the black community to kill them off
The Aids Story: Darryl Fears Washington Post Staff Writer Tuesday, January 25, 2005:
"More than 20 years after the AIDS epidemic arrived in the United States, a significant proportion of African Americans embrace the theory that government scientists created the disease to control or wipe out their communities, according to a study released today by Rand Corp. and Oregon State University."
The Crack Story in the Huff PO:
"More than 18 years have passed since Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Gary Webb stunned the world with his “Dark Alliance” newspaper series investigating the connections between the CIA, a crack cocaine explosion in the predominantly African-American neighborhoods of South Los Angeles, and the Nicaraguan Contra fighters — scandalous implications that outraged LA’s black community, severely damaged the intelligence agency’s reputation and launched a number of federal investigations.
It did not end well for Webb, however. Major media, led by The New York Times, Washington Post and Los Angeles Times, worked to discredit his story. Under intense pressure, Webb’s
top editor abandoned him. Webb was drummed out of journalism."
