Part I: His name was Robert Nixon, alias Thomas Crosby, and I only heard about him for the first time a few days ago (on that, more anon).

The first entry I found for him was at dbpedia, where I read an “abstract,” which declared Nixon a victim of media racism.

“Robert Nixon (July 19, 1919 – June 16, 1939) was an American serial killer, born in the small town of Tallulah, Louisiana, who confessed to five murders and multiple assaults, including the Los Angeles ‘brick bat murders’ of 1937. Depicted with racist imagery in the mainstream press after his arrest, he was given the nickname the ‘Brick Moron’ as he killed his victims with bricks and was depicted as dimwitted. Convicted of murder, he was executed in Chicago in 1939. Nixon served, in part, as the basis of the character of Bigger Thomas in Richard Wright's 1940 social protest novel Native Son.”

[If Native Son is a social protest novel, then so is The Turner Diaries!]

The racial socialists controlling dbpedia claim that it provides short versions of pretend encyclopedia entries.

The dbpedia entry for Robert Nixon is only 101 words long. However, the system of urls that follows it is many times that length. I hit the url to the pretend entry.

On February 10, 2018, “Plamen1402” posted an “info box” with a photograph of Nixon taken by a press photographer when he was arrested, entering “Victims 3-5.”

That was to mislead people too lazy to read the entry, which cites the following named and nameless victims:

Florence Thompson Castle, 24, 1936 “a Caucasian nightclub hostess” (this was in order to mislead readers into believing that the other victims were non-Whites, but they all lived in racially segregated buildings or hotels; murdered (since Nixon/Crosby always raped his victims, I’m counting this as a rape); (Chicago)
Mrs. H. W. Koll January 25, 1937 “attacked” (typically a euphemism for raped)
Elizabeth Reis February 3, 1937 “fractured her skull” (since Nixon/Crosby always raped his victims, I’m counting this as a rape); (L.A.)
Rose Valdez March 2, 1937 raped and murdered (L.A.)
Edna A. Worden (age 48) and her daughter, Marguerite Estelle Worden (12) April 4, 1937 raped and murdered both (L.A.)
Zoe Damrell March 28, 1937 “attacked and nearly murdered” (he raped her and committed attempted murder)
Anna Kuchta raped and murdered 1937 (Chicago)
Florence Johnson May 27, 1938, “the Caucasian wife of a Chicago fireman” (this was in order to mislead readers into believing that the other victims were non-Whites, but they all lived in racially segregated buildings or hotels in racially segregated neighborhoods (murdered; unclear if Nixon or his accomplice had also raped the vic; he insisted that his accomplice, Earl Hicks, was the perp, but it was legally irrelevant)
Nixon also confessed to raping three other Chicago women

The wikipediots complain that the newspaper coverage was racist (which was for them the real issue), but the black nationalist weekly, the chicago defender (called “the chicago offender” by many of its readers, due to its poor editing), apparently didn’t say that, and instead criticized the White press coverage as “lurid and inflammatory.”

One pretend operative asserted, against the Chicago press, “The Chicago slayings were depicted as sex crimes, although sexual assault had not been a factor in the Windy City murders.”

According to the same entry, rape most certainly was a factor in the Chicago murders. (He raped everyone!)

the offender acted as if Nixon/Crosby had NOT confessed to any crimes, including to the cops.

In the real world, as retired Chicago cop Marty Preib notes, black criminals love to brag about their crimes (e.g., Yusuf Salaam of the Central Park Five: “It was fun; it was something to do”).

When we read the complete current pretend entry, we are left with:

At least six murders of White women
At least one attempted murder of a White woman
At least nine rapes, and probably 11, of White women

At his Murderpedia Web site, the late, legendary Juan Ignacio Blanco wrote,

“Robert Nixon killed five women and injured one other in Chicago and Los Angeles from 1936 to 1938.

“His claim to fame was his very basic but odd choice of murder weapon. Bricks. Nixon was a career petty criminal that moved on to murder when he broke into the Chicago home of Florence Castle on June 29, 1936, and looted her house before bludgeoning her to death with his faithful brick.

“In the Spring of 1937 he continued his slayings in L.A., claiming three more lives, including a mother and daughter. He left one surviving victim.

“Nixon was arrested after returning to Chicago and killing his fifth and final victim on May 28, 1938. He confessed to the brick attacks and sentenced to death for the last Windy City slaying. Nixon was electrocuted on June 15, 1939.”

Blanco also re-posted, without comment, a June 5, 1938 Chicago Tribune newspaper story by Charles Leavelle, “Brick slayer is likened to jungle beast.”

“Brick slayer is likened to jungle beast
“By Charles Leavelle - The Chicago Tribune
“June 5, 1938

“Beneath an alley fire escape policemen and detectives stand three and four deep. From a fifth floor window others lean out and call: ‘Let him come.

“Handcuffs click. A slouchily dressed colored youth detaches himself from the crowd of detectives and begins making his way up the side of the building effortlessly. At the second floor, where the fire escape begins, he poises himself lightly and swings over on to it.

“‘Look at him go,’ says a policeman. ‘Just like an ape.

“By the time this has been said the youth has swung himself over the sill and is in the fifth floor room where two years ago he raped and murdered with a brick Mrs. Florence Thompson Castle. As detectives watch he shows in pantomime how he committed the crime, one of the five savage murders he has confessed.

“Comes from Little Town.

“The Negro youth is Robert Nixon. He is 18 years old and comes from a pretty little town in the old south -- Tallulah, La. But there is nothing pretty about Robert Nixon. He has none of the charm of speech or manner that is characteristic of so many southern darkies.

“That charm is a mark of civilization, and so far as manner and appearance go, civilization has left Nixon practically untouched. His hunched shoulders and long, sinewy arms that dangle almost to his knees; his out-thrust head and catlike tread all suggest the animal.

“He is very black-- almost pure Negro. His physical characteristics suggest an earlier link in the species.”

An unsigned essay at Bartleby (paid registration required) lists Elizabeth Rice and Zoe Damrell among his murder victims, which would make for eight, and 18 rape victims.

In Nathan Marsak’s essay, “Life and Death of and in the Astoria,” at his blog, On Bunker Hill, he maintains that Nixon/Crosby murdered at least six females, and raped no fewer than 22. According to Marsak, the different numbers for Nixon/Crosby's murders and rapes were because he often forgot his trusty brick.

“Bigger Thomas” is an utterly ridiculous name, but perhaps there was some meaning, some code to it. “Bigger” rhymes with “n----r,” and there is a black tradition of the “bad n----r,” who defies White authority, and runs hogwild. Thus, “Bigger” would be a contraction of “bad n----r.”

All of the five “Biggers” who were Richard Wright’s models for “Bigger Thomas” were “bad n----rs.”
