Meet the 7-year old racist poet

From Michelle Malkin (who is normally a bit too shrill for me) the other day:

Remember the furor over those twin girls who are "white nationalist" singers? The reaction from the media when covering these young "ladies" was akin to "look at the poor, misguided teens, turned into something monstrous by those around them."

You know what? I think that's probably the right way to look at them.

However, it's strange to me (and Ms. Malkin) to see how the media is reacting to 7-year old Autum Ashante, described as a "black nationalist poetry prodigy".

An example of her work:

White Nationalism Put U In Bondage
White nationalism is what put you in bondage
Pirate and vampires like Columbus, Morgan, and Darwin
Drank the blood of the sheep, trampled all over them with
Steel, tricks and deceit.
Nothing has changed take a look in our streets
The mis-education of she and Hegro — leaves you on your knee2grow
Black lands taken from your hands, by vampires with no remorse
They took the gold, the wisdom and all of the storytellers
They took the black women, with the black man weak
Made to watch as they changed the paradigm
Of our village
They killed the blind, they killed the lazy, they went
So far as to kill the unborn baby
Yeah White nationalism is what put you in bondage
Pirates and vampires like Columbus, Morgan, and Darwin
They drank the blood of the sheep, trampled all over them with
Steel laden feet, throw in the tricks alcohol and deceit.
Nothing has changed take a look at our streets.

So, help me out here. When white kids do stuff like this, it's bad, but when black kids do stuff like this, we should celebrate it? I don't get it.
