Ugliness mushroomed from Ferguson, Mo., this week, accosting an entire nation, fueled by a court decision many saw as typically unjust, rioting that burned businesses and overturned cars, race-baiting and outright racist rants that polluted our senses. It all proved too strong, bringing to the surface too many deeply rooted and thinly masked sentiments and biases - and Duluth didn’t escape, as much as many of us may have hoped we would, hoped it all could be something that’s, you know, elsewhere. Among the horrible things done, said and written were comments posted online from, disappointingly, an elected Duluth public official.
On his Facebook page Tuesday, Duluth City Councilor Jay Fosle referred to the rioters in Ferguson as “savages” who “should be addressed as such.” “Savages,” of course, was the insensitive, inaccurate and offensive term used disparagingly to identify Native Americans at the time of early white settlement. And history makes quite clear the apocalyptic and horrific ways in which settling Europeans “addressed” them. Fosle also posted a meme showing O.J. Simpson in court. Words over the picture read, “Remember how white people rioted after OJ’s acquittal? Me neither.” But there was rioting after the one-time football great was acquitted of murder. And the meme’s suggestion that black people alone rioted this week was a generalization that reinforced a negative and offensive stereotype. Fosle didn’t return phone messages left Tuesday and Wednesday from a News Tribune reporter seeking comment about his posts. [[{"type":"media","view_mode":"media_large","fid":"1323859","attributes":{"alt":"","class":"media-image","height":"120","typeof":"foaf:Image","width":"80"}}]]But on Wednesday, the posts were referred to by Carl Crawford, a longtime advocate in Duluth for racial justice, as “absolutely inappropriate and disgusting.” “There is never an excuse to riot or destroy anyone’s property,” Crawford wrote in an email to the News Tribune Opinion page after a screenshot of Fosle’s posts was shared with him. “(What Fosle wrote) fails to understand the pain and frustration that many people, not just people of color, feel about injustice. It fails to understand the history of the strained and often-deadly encounters of people of color and the police. “The only solution to this crisis is for all of us to accept each other as human beings,” continued Crawford, the intercultural center coordinator for Lake Superior College. “The crisis of race relations dominates the airwaves, newspapers and Internet every day. It is a very difficult balance to let no one pull you so low as to hate them. It is important to always avoid violence as a way to solve problems and misunderstandings. … The tears of a nation cannot douse the flames of hatred if we do not first see each other’s value as human beings. “I still believe that love is the most transformative power in the world. I still believe that standing up for truth and peaceful protest is a right. … The key is not to humiliate but to show love and a different way of dealing with frustration and pain. Getting deeper entrenched in stereotypes and hate doesn’t work to build strong communities.” [[{"type":"media","view_mode":"media_large","fid":"1323863","attributes":{"alt":"","class":"media-image","height":"42","typeof":"foaf:Image","width":"30"}}]]Another advocate for racial justice, Rogier Gregoire, chairman of the Clayton Jackson McGhie Memorial board, expressed a “deeper sense of horror” after viewing the screenshot from Fosle’s page. “We want to believe that lynching is a part of our dark and needed-to-be-forgotten past, but Jay Fosle and his supporters reveal the real and resident racial hatred that is at the bedrock of modern Duluth,” Gregoire told the Opinion page. “He represents and embodies the seething fear hiding in the rhetoric of ‘Minnesota Nice’ that wants us to forget the still-resident virus of race hatred that consumed (Duluth lynching victims Elias) Clayton, (Elmer) Jackson and (Isaac) McGhie in 1920. “It is not enough to say he is ‘being racist,’ as if it were a passing affliction,” Gregoire went on. “(Fosle’s posts are) the tip of the iceberg of racial hatred, pushed to the surface by the enormous mass of racism lying beneath the surface of ‘goodwill’ that soothes Duluth society. … A white cop with hatred in his heart is as real here as in Ferguson; he just hasn’t surfaced yet.” Fosle’s comments, shared with the News Tribune Opinion page by a reader who asked not to be identified, can disappoint and shock an entire community. They were inappropriate and unacceptable. We should be able to expect more, to expect better, from our community’s leaders, from those we elect to represent us. Fosle was far from alone this week with words or actions that fell regrettably short and that were, put simply, ugly. Like others, he can be held accountable. He can face up to his posts and answer to them and apologize for them. His constituents deserve at least that.Ugliness mushroomed from Ferguson, Mo., this week, accosting an entire nation, fueled by a court decision many saw as typically unjust, rioting that burned businesses and overturned cars, race-baiting and outright racist rants that polluted our senses.
