Like many bloggers, I read Althouse and her commenters now and then, almost as consistently, in fact, as I read Instapundit, which is daily. So naturally I ran across the troll The Crack Emcee, a purported black American (and supposed half-sibling to the late jazz bassist Charlie Mingus, according to TCE’s Blogger profile) who examines everything (and I mean everything) through the filter of race.
Even her/his handle, supposedly, since it’s well known that mostly blacks use crack, the cheap version of cocaine. His/her avatar also is of a black man wearing shades. S/he (you can’t be sure of gender with anonymice) is pretty boring most of the time, as trolls generally are, with all the usual racist twaddle as if s/he is still stuck in 1963 wondering if Medgar will ever get justice.
It’s the other commenters who’ve finally begun firing back at him/her that’re amusing. Violating the first rule to never feed the troll, i.e. by acknowledging their existence. Amusing enough, however, for me to make a post about it. Such as Michael K.: “Do you ever have another thought cross your alleged mind? Al Sharpton is bright compared to you. Unless, of course, you are a racist white guy making blacks look stupid.”
Could be. As they used to say (and still should) on the Internet nobody knows you’re a dog. Unless you comment like the troll The Crack Emcee and prove it time after time. Or maybe I’m just jealous, not having had a troll of my own in a long time. I must have scared them all off. Even trolls can only take so much mockery.
THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER 
“Crack” is the reason I quit reading Althouse’s comments. I would not listen to a human spouting that racist crap, why would I want to read it?
Well, now you can read them again for the rejoinders to the troll. Some of them are quite amusing. Including the new commenter: The Cracker Emcee
Want to bet it is a fat white man sitting alone in his hovel surrounded by pizza cartons and unwashed underwear?
That’s some disquieting imagery there. Isn’t that what the Snooze Media used to claim bloggers were like?
