Holy shit that clip was painful to watch, that guy was pretty much saying that thugs shouldn't deal with the consequences of acting stupid.
Great! I'm supposed to go to the fair with my grandparents this friday.. Looks like we'll be going golfing instead!
I agree with the guy about how reactionaries should think twice before they pull a gun out in a public facility just to scare off some kids, but I if you're old enough to decide that you want to steal and harass haphazard civilians, you deserve to be treated just like other violent criminals.
As far as ideals go, the socialists are against racism sexism etc. But in the real life application, it encourages collectivism over individualism. Negative collectivisms like racism are just a specific manifestation of collectivism. In order to make the collective more powerful than the individual, you have to structure government so that it provides tools for the collective to prosper, if you think classism,racism, and sexism wont infiltrate these tools, your being a bit naive. Sorry to OP for derailing.
Its a problem that needs to be fixed by the black community itself. The govt can't fix it, whites can't fix it... maybe al sharpton? Where is he on all this anyway?? Or jesse jackson? Its total bs that none of the people arrested are getting charged with a hate crime, yet had the roles been reversed it would be national news and protests and rallys etc. This problem is only going to get worse, they are pushing so hard for a race war and I can feel it getting closer. Better arm yourselves folks
I read your entire post, but you may not have fully understood mine. I'm not saying it wasn't a hate crime, I'm not trying to undermine the fact that it was a heinous crime which targeted others based on racial misunderstanding and prejudice. The point I was trying to get across was that people have a severe misconception of how they should perceive these crimes; I mean to say that if for the next 100 years, we continue to profile crimes and events based on racial disparity we will have made absolutely 0 social progress by the end of those 100 years. We need to get to the root of these problems, the racial pressures and historical racial setbacks that propel people to such rage and vehemence towards their own species. We need to narrow the lines, fade the distinctions between black crime and white crime.. it's all crime and we need to get to the bottom of all of it; we need to educate these people, our people, our fellow Americans who constitutionally deserve a rightful education. We need to educate them on how to perceive the historical setbacks and prejudices subjected to their race. We need to teach them about how to be diplomatic and civil when engaging peers, peers of all races of course and teach them not to divide and pervade their mentalities by engaging racial division as a pattern of thought. By what I've said I'm referring to all children of our new generations, they deserve to be educated on how to not be hateful and violent with other human beings. I apologize if my tone seemed aggressive but I merely construed a strong sense of racial division from the pattern of your words and merely felt that you were potentiating the hate between races that should cease as soon as possible. This is social progress I'm talking about, not a beef that one race has with another. This guy has the right idea, I'm disgusted that our species is still this barbaric and savage.. not that blacks would commit such a hateful crime against caucasians.
Black vs. Whites, Rich vs. Poor, we need to get over ourselves. Skin pigmentation does not make one superior, nor inferior. We need to get with the Human evolution and move past the centuries of ignorance.
I'm an American, but its not. We're the most hated country in the world and there are reasons for that. Our economy sucks, we have race problems, poverty and war issues. You know who doesnt have any of that stuff? [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBoItR59REQ]Canadian National Anthem (lyrics) Oh Canada - YouTube[/ame]
....Our great country is digressing socially and economically. We are in fact moving more backward than forward as more and more of the middle class slips into poverty. Whats worse, what you see here is only the beginning of what will become near revolutions though not necessarily a matter of black vs white. It will be bigger than that as more and more realize that they've been held up without a gun by Wall Street, big banks, big oil, and finally the realization that politicians never really cared about anyone other than themselves.
Just because we're stricken down, corrupted and shameful it does not mean that we can't clean up our act and return the potential of American progression and the heart of the American way to its former virtues. In the times of its glory America has been one of the single greatest engines for the progress of mankind in History, the industrial and technological advancement rate we've accomplished as a country is unparalleled. However this has come from having generations of Republican systems in place to empower the network of corporate businesses and conglomerate banks. We've made all this industrious, economical and scientific progress yet when it comes to relative social progress I think we've proven to be a very ass backwards country. We've only recently begun to start treating other races and religions as merely Americans rather than the former hateful distinctions we used to make along with nasty prejudices that would emulsify. It took this long to get merely 1 black man as President, that speaks for itself of how rapidly we progress among social lines. I have faith in this country.... she's a sick dog but one day the bitch will overcome her virulence and proudly bark once more. I myself plan to be one of the millions of antibodies it will take to wash the corruption and sickness out of the body of our once loved America. One day we will advance socially, economically and technologically in balanced unitarian equation, perhaps after thousands of years a delicate balance will be achieved.
Attitudes like this is what makes this Country the greatest on earth. What country doesn't have problems? Canada does. No nation is perfect, it takes time and effort to change archaic traditions. The USA is a prime example. Slowly we are beginning to change our acceptance of things outside "the norm" We will break free the shackles of slavery and arise victorious. This nation is the greatest, in every aspect. Don't look at America for our governmental body, look at the diverse culture that has flourished here. Look at what we've accomplished, what we've over came, and then only can you realize how strong we are as a country.
I thank you for your opening statement . As for the rest I agree, we have developed here one of the most intricate and unique social experiments in history. The effort to promote and protect our beloved amalgam culture has proven to be quite difficult; numerous times society has made attempts to fracture this culture through intense, focused separation and targeting of various distinct races (ex. Russian citizens during the red scare, German citizens during ww1 and 2 along with italian citizens during ww2, Filipinos during and after the U.S. occupation of the Philippines, Muslims now, etc) I am a defender of the liberties of all Americans regardless of race, simply because every racial grouping has been discriminated against for greedy, manipulative, deceptive and controlling reasons by men obsessing over power and money.
Do you have any statistics to show that America is the most hated country in the world? This claim is not supported by a BBC Poll earlier this year, in fact the U.S. did four points better than it did in 2010:
Isnt the idea of a hate crime racist to? I meen your gonna charge him more cause hes white or because hes black?
