First Casualty of Domestic Rage

*sigh*

A few days of rational intelligent heart felt threads and now we are back to general drivel...

<< This kinda stuff always happens in the South. I think even after these attacks, rednecks are still the worst enemy of this country >>





<< I count everything from Florida to NV, but not CA as the South. You know what I mean. Trailer trash country. >>




Somebody explain to me how these "blanket" statements are not racism.

 

[GasX]

They're not racist because, ummm.....

Nope, pretty much ignorant flame bait...

Actually it wouldn't be racism, because rednecks and their relatives, trailer trash, are not races. It would, however, be bigotry or prejudism...take your pick.

OK, makes sense. I guess my point was to see how those statements could be seen as correct.

I'd hoped we get away with "just" threats and a bit of vandalism, but somehow I knew it wouldn't be limited to that. And how ironic too, considering that the victim is neither Muslim nor Arab. There is no justification for targeting anyone not directly associated with last week's crimes, including Muslim and Arab, but it just goes to show you that anger without knowledge simply leads to pain for the innocents.

<< LOL! it never ceases to amaze me how many times no matter what the subject, if its based on race, blacks so how come under fire. >>

Actually, what I intended to to show was the highly selective moral outrage precipitated by the hustlers of racial politics in this country. It is rather clear that, at least according to the media, only "certain" groups are considered either the victims or perpetrators of racially motivated hate crimes, though no group is above being the perpetrator and no group is invulnerable to being a victim.

<< First of all black muslims, those of the Nation, would never ever join with any other ethic group in a beatdown of another. So that is a lie. >>

Anyone remember the Zebra Killers? A group of black Muslims who went around kidnapping and murdering whites? There have been others, but that is the most famous. Perhaps you don't remember what the Nation of Islam had to say about Colin Ferguson's racially motivated train shooting? Pretty incendiary stuff, if I recall correctly. Please, if you're going to hold up some group as a model of tolerance, the viciously anti-semitic National of Islam probably isn't the best choice!

<< Second. Most of all the racial hate crimes are committed by whites. >>

ONLY if your definition of "hate crimes" inherently involves a 'double standard'. As we know, and I've demonstrated, when a black or hispanic singles out a white victim solely based on race, indeed they admit that is why they selected their victim or what motivated their attack, there is a double-standard and the attack is highly unlikely to be classified or prosecuted as a "hate crime". When the statistics are gathered, thousands of clearly racially motivated incidents are left out of the loop.

It's easy to say "whites commit the most hate crimes" when you systematically and methodically deny "victim" or "perpetrator" status to one group or another based on the double-standard of racial politics.
