Dude, seriously ... where did you come up with that?

I see no mention of racial motivation

Yep. The article has no mention, but the police have said that the victims are almost all minorities. And the shootings were in a primarily white area of town.

I found 3 news reports, none mention any racial trend. I find it hard to believe the media wouldn't be all over a racial aspect.

I dunno, seems odd to me too. Her family went around talking to the neighbors too. None of the white families around them were hit, but every single minority family was. Perhaps its just a big coincidence.

This is the same town though that will put a 3rd place win by a white high school on the front page of the newspaper, while burying a tiny article about a 1st place win by a hispanic high school deep within the newspaper.

Does that still bother you? I had forgotten all about it a month after it happened.

I'm all about the justice. One day, I'll seek my revenge, super-hero style.

By your powers combined I am Captain Racist... errr wait...

Yeah, some black people shouted a bunch of expletives about McCain and white people after the election. It made my black African friend angry and my Asian friends shake their heads.

where is this?

Lubbock, TX
Roughly 50/50 white/hispanic, very Christian. Bible belt.

Holy crap, I up until recently lived in Amarillo, and I guess I was naive to believe that it wouldn't be to bad there.

All seems rather quite here in my area, we're busy cleaning, and hiding our guns, our money, and clinging to our religion.

I believe the problem is racist white people scared that black people will be taking their entitlement.

LOL @ this thread / OP


Obama is a rich educated man. He represents the "hood" about as much as GWB.

I must say I'm very anti-religion but you don't see me vandalizing churches.

<-- asian shaking head in disgust (because I can see that happening with thugs).

Seriously though, I do wonder how my fellow asians voted in this election.

I'm in Baton Rouge as well, and haven't heard anything either.

That being the case, I've seen equal amounts of ignorance from all ethnic groups while here, as I have just about everywhere else.

Where my girlfriend lives, there were 120 instances of cars having their windows shot out. When the police were talking to my girlfriends family, they said that the attacks were only happening to minorities. I'm guessing its in response to Obama getting elected.

My girlfriend is asian and most of the other victims were hispanic. So this is racism in general, not just anti-black hate.

I don't know about you but when I walk down the street and see a parked car unless the owner is sitting in the car I have no idea what color their skin is.

well you imagine wrong, I was around maybe 100 black people yesterday hanging out and not a single one acted any differently than they normally do. We drank Newcastle and played Dominoes. The majority of the ones I spoke too were happy but not overly joyed because the everyday racist bullshit they face will still exist. My friend said "Good to see Obama win but that won't keep the police from fucking with me, I'm glad he won but my life ain't gonna change for the better" Doubtful there will be large groups of blacks acting retarded. But with what you said, I'm sure the blacks are SO glad you don't live around them. There's already too many of your type in America.
