How "white" is Blackwater?

had another "duh" epiphany watching Jeremy Scahill's flicks from Iraq, (which I embedded below, thanks to The Nation, for the loan) and some of the news coverage about it...
Here's the $64,000 question..
Are all the Blackwater goons white? Or most of them...
Just think "Erik Prince, North Carolina, KKK," and the implications are startling, if not frightening.
IS this band of mercenaries an expression of the old south racist agenda? If so, their return, AS A UNIT, to this country represents a very dangerous and disconcerting potential.
Considering that the Republican candidates won't even talk to minority groups, and the evidence of a very deliberate move to the right down in Jena, one might assume they have written-off the ethnic vote.
So how much of a leap is it to the conclusions I've drawn here?
I don't even need a tin-foil hat for this one...
And I think it would behoove all the blogs to converge on the Republican candidates' obvious racist direction in this long season of lies.

then there's this:
Iraq Probe of U.S. Security Firm Grows
Blackwater, Accused of Killing 11 on Sunday, Cited in Earlier Deaths

BAGHDAD, Sept. 21 -- Iraq's probe into a deadly shooting by Blackwater USA in Baghdad last weekend has expanded to include allegations about the security firm's involvement in six other violent episodes this year that left at least 10 Iraqis dead.

The incidents include the killing of three guards at a state-run media complex and the shooting death of an Iraqi journalist outside the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, (doesn't that just prove they are state-sponsored terrorists?) said Brig. Gen. Abdul-Karim Khalaf, chief spokesman for the Interior Ministry.

Iraqi officials say these violent encounters have made them increasingly frustrated with Blackwater's conduct in Iraq, but the government backed away Friday from its attempt to expel the company. Blackwater has said its guards acted appropriately in the weekend incident, but it did not respond to requests for comment Friday on the other episodes cited by Khalaf.
