The hate-mail psycho hounding Derek Jeter is probably consumed with racist rage - and shouldn't be dismissed as a harmless wacko, experts say.

"They should take this deadly seriously," said Dr. Louis Schlesinger, a professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in Manhattan. "This is not someone to be fooled with." Well it damn sure isn't Jesse Helms.

"The intensity of the writer's hatred for interracial couples might make him recognizable to friends and neighbors", experts said.

"People who hold a view this strongly don't keep it to themselves," said Park Dietz, a forensic psychiatrist and former FBI profiler. "Anyone who is close to this person would be familiar with his views."

Cops believe the same person lunatic - possibly based in Cleveland or Canton, Ohio, and possibly the ghost of Strom Thurmond - has penned nearly 100 pieces of hate mail, mostly to black men who date or are married to white women. Well at least someone doesn't have carpal tunnel. He must have missed the memo about Quincy Jones, however.

"Only a tiny fraction of people who hold racist views would resort to writing vicious diatribes," Dietz said. "This is a sign of the disorder in the person." Yea, its called Archie Bunker syndrome.

Jeter, whose mother is white and father is black, has dated a cornucopia of beautiful women across the racial spectrum. Actually, he's dated white women and mixed women. He hasn't crossed the all-black spectrum just yet, he is not that brave.

The letter writer sounds like a black woman who berates Jeter for being a "traitor" to his race. Just what the fuck is Jeter's race anyway? Isn't he just considered another "confused" mulatto? But investigators suspect the hatemonger is actually a white man who is taking pains to divert attention from himself. Anyone who eats fried chicken knows that black women don't have this much gotdamn times on their hands. Also, its quite obvious who the white man is that is writing these threats...it's Wesley Snipes. He wants all the white women to himself, and has always seen Jeter as a threat to his pussy income. Besides, Jeter banged Snipes' ex, Halle Berry--although Snipes did bang the fuck outta her earlobe. A man never forgives in situations like these--and we will never forgive Wesley for his participation in "To Wong Foo".

Criminologists say the writer may be seeking national notoriety by targeting celebrities involved in interracial relationships, adding that he may actually believe he is fighting a worthy war against mixed relationships. 2003's PGA tournament winner Tiger Woods is somewhere breathing a sigh of relief, thanking his Cablinasian god that for once, he is not a target.

"You have to take this at face value," Schlesinger said. "He may have a delusion that his mission is to end interracial dating, and he may be prepared to act on it". Hitler would be proud.
