An Ethiopian man here in Omaha, NE attacked in his store: robbed, assaulted, tied up and his convenient store set on fire while he was in his store. The owner Kassahun Goshime was given ample time to take care of his business before. At least once at his residency and his store haters and jealous evils spray painted hate messages. At one place it is painted “go home nigger.”
I don’t like to blame the victim here but if you see the local news clip; no one but the Jewish organization ADL was acting as outraged person instead of the victims lawyer or Ethiopian Community here in Omaha. Besides why didn’t Kassahun took step to protect himself and his family when he had known that he and his family were targeted long before this attempt murder against him took place? Ethiopians are not united here in Omaha or a few other cities I have lived. Some even go as far as sabotaging one another rather than growing together in a country where you have much more chances than you came from.
This hate crime has come from two white men. But Whiteman or not as a foreign black or Korean you are targeted any where you perceived to be weak. Omaha is a racists den, this a city where Malcolm X’s father put on rail road and murdered by white people and a black man burned alive to cheers of white people.
You have to know where you live and what kind of people you live amongst in order to protect your self and your family. If you take it to chances this type of things would inevitably would happen. Blacks targeting the Korean stores after Rodney King verdict were shameful act for descendants of slaves who suffered in the hands of Whiteman for hundreds of years. But the crime committed by Whiteman never stuns me simply because they have done these kinds of acts since the beginning of their arrival in America’s shore. Old habit never dies.
By the way the robbery and attempt murder on Kassahun happened on Sunday February 18, 2007.
