A blog post on the anticipation of a racial war

I Think That Column Is Full Of **** Because Even If Their Are Some Whites Who Are So Racist They Are Embracing For Blacks To Start A War With Them It Is Such A Small Percentage Of Whites That It Is A Non Issue Even If They Are Very Boisterous About It. The Only War That Could Happen In The USA Is Class Warfare. These Disorganized Hippies Who Smoke Reefer On Wall Street And Hold Up Signs Aren't Doing The Trick About Changing The Structure But All The Evidence Of Who Owns The Country Is Out In The Public For Everyone To See But The Owners Are Smart To Keep Distracting The "99 Percent" With They're IPhones, Reality TV, And Petty Issues Like Gay Marriage. I Have Lived In A Bunch Of Cities And A Few Podunk Towns And I Have Never Met A Real Racist Like Someone Who Speaks So Openly About It And Would Act On Those Predjudices If Presented The Chance. I Think The Web Allowing Folks To Write Some Raw Racial **** With A Fake Username Reflects A False Portrayal Of How These People Really Act In Real Life. Yeah They Are Pretty Sad People To Want To Type Racist Slurs On A Youtube Video Or On Tweeter But They Aren't Preparing To Fight For The Lives To Eliminate Another Race.

Is ur brain in toilet today? Majority white people vote laws to incarcerate young black men. They don't hire them neither. This is not small percentage this is majority. Only small percentage have balls to say what they really believe maybe.

Your foolish, being honest here, attempts to read so deeply into my posts is amusing. I'm not that deep and there are no hidden meanings in my replies.

Believe me, I didn't think you were being deep nor that you intentionally hid meanings, nor was that part of what I asked you.

It's a blog with the bizarre premise that whites are terrified the brothers are going to start a race war, or at the very least going to form angry mobs to attack whitey just randomly.

Can't say the thought has ever crossed my mind, though there was a time two years ago where mobs of black kids were attacking whites and some Hispanics in downtown Denver. Though I never took it to be more than just punk kids.

There is a difference between "all whites" and "whites in these particular groups", and a difference between "expecting a race war" and "engaging in behaviors that show an assumption of criminal behavior on the part of black people". It does not help to mix-and-match.

To borrow a metaphor: someone offers you a bowl of M&Ms and tells you that only 1% are poisoned. How many will you eat?

It's not an issue for you, but it is for others.

Yet, the entire criminal justice system treats black defendants differently, whether they speak openly about it or not; whether they are aware of the difference or not.

There is no deep thinking to do. From what handlers posted that's a reasonable interpretation. But as initially stated it is based off hantlers post. Not the source materiel.


As for not clicking the link. It has nothing to do with not wishing to read the materiel. It has to do with not clicking links at work. Which is why I asked One Brow for a synopsis.

Perhaps your clarification would be better suited to the author of the blog, who uses general terms like "White America."

Yeah, this bothered me about the article as well. There needs to be qualifiers when taking on these types of subjects or else it's easy to dismiss.

That said, it's a very interesting post and I agree with a lot of it. I thought the link to this article was interesting and definitely not surprising:

https://www.theatlantic.com/health/...-scarcity-affects-perceptions-of-race/372438/

The article regarding unemployment among blacks made me think of that NYT article that I know I've posted before here on the forum:

https://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/01/us/01race.html



I think most of the good folks here on this forum get most of their racial cues from television. I would say that's definitely the case with their understanding of black Americans.

Did anyone else see that comment Beanbro made regarding blacks and fertility?

So, when your read that an author wrote "- white people are trying to keep the black man down by not hiring any black people", you think "a reasonable interpretation" is that the author is "some guy who doesn't like white people trying to justify his own biases and possible failures in life", and yet, you think that doesn't say anything about your own feelings and biases?

I'm fairly sure the author of the blog knows the difference between "white America", the culture and power structure, and 'all white Americans', the meaning you seem to assign to the phrase.

Back to the former response, there are "whites in these particular groups" that are "expecting a race war", and that is an more severe manifestation of "engaging in behaviors that show an assumption of criminal behavior on the part of black people" that are exhibited by pretty much "all whites".

Even a troll account can see Stoked's posting is dumb as hell.

What's supposed to the the swing and miss? Hantler's take was "- white people are trying to keep the black man down by not hiring any black people". You thought the primary motivation for an author to say that was "some guy who doesn't like white people trying to justify his own biases and possible failures in life", as opposed to 'some guy whose made a conclusion based on statistics', 'some guy who has had experiences I have not', 'some guy trying to share his worldview', etc.

Hantlers did not say anything about a dislike for white people; you added that. Hantlers did not offer anything about being a need to "justify"; you added that. Hantlers did not say anything about failures; you added that. You took what Hantlers said, and added the dislike, justification, and failure out of your own cognitive biases.

I'm sure you feel a need to respond to this. Honestly, I hope you wait a day or so and think about it before you respond.
