I just think it's kind of sad when we're at the point of looking at strangers' cell phone videos on the internet pointing at it going "look, see, clearly [x, y, or z race of people] is clearly more violent." And seriously, I noticed a big uptick of these threads since the Charleston shooting.

Its not their race that is violent, but rather that particular culture that is notably more violent and unpredictable in these particular situations. The melanin doesn't have much to do with it, how it affects how and who they identify with aside.

I'm still waiting for one of these "justice department" threads to get made that actually cites something on the same order of magnitude of evil as the charleston shooting.

The problem is the press.  There are violent attacks by assholes all the time.  The issue is not exactly the attacks.  It was what the press chooses to report.  Never trust anything in the press.  I know it is a real read but try this on for evidence.  It is damning

I don't know man, they seem to have things pretty well under control in Africa, I think it was the transition over here that did it..

I'm alluding to the culture in america. I can't speak for africa as i've never been there. But from what i see with the whole ebola ordeal (towns kicking out health workers and refusing vaccines) i might be one to deduce that the mentalities are related and not confined to america.

i don't think there is anything racist about nobody covering this story. certainly there is an agenda; sensationalism makes more money, and racism is sensationalism in the media.

people in the mob mentality just show that that metropolis needs to demolished. all of these fucking rats teaming up to continuously beat the guy, and then stand around smiling and watching and commenting...welcome to the new social media.

LOL fuck outta here.

if i was there, and presumed to carry a pistol, i'd have whipped it out, shot one of the dumb ape's ransacking the guy, and then see who's fucking laughing and quipping then...honestly, there'd probably be so many guns there already beforehand, i'd be dead, but then again at least so would a bunch of dumb apes! and no that's not racist. i'm calling them ape's because they literally hopped around their target like ape's, and accosted him like ape's and then pranced around the scene like ape's.

they should have ALL been arrested.

That's not what I was getting at. And how you even jumped to that conclusion (me trying to prove that one race is "clearly more violent") is beyond me. My entire point was about how one story would be treated as the biggest story in the entire nation, where as the other, exactly the same but just switch the colors out, and it's a complete non-story.

Why is that, BlindSophist? If we're in an uproar about one, shouldn't we be in an uproar about this too? Right? Now yes I'm speaking in hypotheticals, but we all know unquestionable without a shadow of a doubt, if the situation was reversed, all hell would be breaking loose (again) in this country. That's an indisputable fact.

But this particular example doesn't fit an agenda. So who cares, right?

I didn't start the thread to prove that one race is worse than the other, lol. I'm just questioning the blatant double standard that exists.

We are not in an uproar because the media and most of the country has a skewed and racist view of what racism really is.

Nobody is comparing the two. The way you jump to these absurd conclusions is laughable. Obviously what happened in Charleston was a horrific act of evil that deserved every bit of coverage it received and then some. You obviously have an agenda and I'll leave it that, beyond this point you're really not worth responding to.

No it isn't. look around you. forums, news articles, yahoo comments, youtube comments. anything with a black person in it the comments are flooded with deragatory responses. white people literally search for videos with a minority in it just to flood the comment section with racial slurs. did you see the comments after floyd beat manny?

So I question your baseless accusation that was directed at me, ask you a straight forward, simple question, and you respond with an emoticon and "assorted redundancy".

I wasn't quite sure about your level of intelligence prior to that post, but now I am. Thanks for clarifying.

Racism affects people of all races. Your explanations make no sense. Whites are affected by racism from blacks. Literally every race on the fucking planet is affected by some form of stereotyping and narrow minded thought. Open your eyes and look around you. racism can even affect the same race it comes from. See "acting white"

yeah, it was because they were acting like apes, not because of any racist connotation.

PS: black people can be racist, you're fucking delusional if you think otherwise. hilariously delusional. in fact: i am racist against delusional fucking idiots. come at me bro.
