Shark Attacks

In the water, a shark would have no reason to fear a human. In the water the shark is bigger, faster, stronger, more dangerous, and better equipped to defend itself as well as attack. The shark is regularly described as a highly efficient killing machine. It is a natural predator that operates without though but through pure instinct. The shark has a keen sensitivity to smell. It can detect the scent of prey for miles. A hungry shark will have no choice but to follow the scent to its source. In the water, the shark has no equal.

But somehow, in the course of its development through millennia, the shark predator has supposedly developed a natural fear of humans as a survival instinct. The supposition is that in the evolutional development of one of the ultimate predators that lives in the water, the shark had somehow developed a natural fear for the slower, weaker, and fragile animal known as man that does not live in the water but stays on land. The shark that has the audacity to kill people is an aberration. It is unnatural for a shark to kill a human because if its inherent fear of an inferior animal. The unthinking shark that makes the decision to hunt people must be caught and killed for it has tasted human flesh and we cannot take the chance that it found eating people to its liking. Next thing you know sharks will be walking our streets desperately looking for a tasty human morsel. We have to take the battle to them in the water so we don’t have to fight them here on land.

Actually, I’m not convinced that sharks care for human meat. Another fact about this predator is that sharks prefer the blubbery fat of seal flesh. Humans flesh just isn’t worth the effort unless it was some real fat ass. And what are the chances that fat ass people are going to make the effort to jump in the water? Unfortunately, the shark is also known for its preference to bite and ask questions later. By the time it actually registers in a shark’s instinctually oriented brain that it isn’t biting into one of those juicy seals the damage is already done. In essence, the whole affair is an accidental encounter. A shark’s thinking is probably, what idiot human would venture into the water where it would be mistaken for real food? A shark would starve if it depended on human flesh for sustenance.

The shark attack is no natural mistake. That’s impossible! It is an attack by a lower life form against its superior, the human race. Sharks have lost their fear of us and somebody must restore it. If we don’t nip this thing in the bud, other sharks will get the impression that they can go around thinking that they can feast on humans. As a people, we won’t forgive a dumb shark for having the audacity to attack a human who happens to be floating around in its environment in a remarkably accurate impersonation of a seal. We cannot tolerate a natural predator that acts like a predator.

If a shark was to come out of the water and start eating beach combers playing volleyball in some small scale imitation of Godzilla, then I might be more inclined to think that the human race might be in some kind of danger. But only in America can a shark being a shark in the shark’s natural environment can be called an abomination. That’s not quite true because sharks are hunted down for their attacks off the coast of South Africa as well. Let’s change it a bit to say only in areas where the dominant community is predominantly white can a shark being a shark be called an abomination and people expend the resources to hunt it down as well as any other sharks that are found along the way.

We cannot tolerate the dumb, instinct driven, non thinking shark. But we will tolerate police officers that notch their belt with the taking of lives of people from the black community. What is the difference between someone swimming in the water minding their own business when the shark decides to pounce and someone minding their own business, driving home to prepare for their wedding when the police decide to pounce?

Police who are so bold to kill innocent, unarmed people, the citizens that they are sworn to protect, should be an aberration. As long as we allow police to kill without retribution they will come back to kill again. Police aren’t thought of as thoughtless brutal killing machines that respond by instinct. But then again maybe they are. Maybe some police officers, like the shark, simply develop the instinct to kill certain unarmed, defenseless people without thought. I have never seen a story about police officers pulling out their weapons and emptying them into an unarmed white man. So what gives?

Black people who venture out into these urban sharks’ environment and have the audacity to impersonate people of other races by acting like they have no reason to fear police officers could lose their life to these unthinking predators. The urban shark’s natural instinct is that the black man is a criminal and the black man is armed and the black man is a danger to the community and the black man must be stopped. Unfortunately, by the time the unthinking urban shark realizes he or she has pulled their gun, baton, or whatever piece of equipment they carry to invoke their will on others, on another aberration in this era full of black stereotypes, a black man doing absolutely nothing illegal and fully and safely within the confines of the law, it is too late. Another black man is dead or severely wounded.

The only major difference between the shark that swims through the water and bites someone to death, and the urban shark that can’t stop himself or herself from emptying their gun, reloading it, and emptying it again, is that the shark in the water is stupid enough to attack white people while the urban shark is smart enough to only kill black people. As a society, the former we cannot tolerate and must eliminate at all cost. The latter we will protect with every tool of law at our disposal because in all honesty they perform the important community service of keeping black people in their place.
