Sky is falling again!

Possibly decades of stirring by the likes of Sharpton,Wright,Jackson,Farrakhan etc,giving African Americans a totally wrong idea of "Entitlement"!

In that case you'd better have your umbrella...What happened? Was the vote to have a GAI passed in Switzerland already? If so, the "Boys from Basel" must be beside themselves!...Hope they brought their umbrellas. LMAO

because of tunnelvision, I would say

americans have this tendency to believe that if its in the news its an accurate reflection of the commonality or seriousness of a situation


the author gathered four random incidents that involved interracial dynamics and jumped to a declaration this is some evidence of a 'growing number' of such incidents


no one has yet to offer the actual numbers to answer the question

growing compared to what?


or,,,


common based upon what definition?

Liberals don't have the capacity to formulate clues

Cause and effect are mission impossible!

You may very well be on to something here.

yep,the murderous Brute is now running the Show from Prison,instead of from Spahn Movie Ranch!

Yes, when I said something like "this is actually happening" I meant 'these incidents' not the claim that it is increasing.

Even if there are higher numbers recently, to say that its 'increasing' can imply there is inertia behind the increase; that we must do something or it will continue to increase. An increase could be temporary - maybe encouraged by media magnified events from the last few years such as the Trayvon Martin killing.

these 'incidents' have always been happening though

and it is still questionable whether there is any such 'inertia' or 'increase',,,actually happening

Im pointing out that being able to find incidents of interracial crime really proves nothing except that interracial crime 'actually happen'

Attempting to minimize the racist violence in America doesn't do away with it.

Real people are being physically harmed by acts of racism.

When black Americans are harmed like that, the story makes national news and is talked about by all of the major news networks.

When white Americans are harmed physically by acts of racism, the story is ignored at a national level, and the racist nature of the acts isn't acknowledged.

Now, that is racism institutionalized in the American media.

If you do a search of all news stories of this nature most will report they are not treated as hate crimes either.

I don't think its unreasonable for Ms Harmony or anyone else to meet these articles with some skepticism. All sides of an issue has people taking things out of context, cherry picking, distorting.

There IS something happening today, though, in the way people perceive racism and respond to it - and I personally believe that it (some of directly, most of it indirectly) encourages violence against white people. And then we have:

I've noticed that first hand, also.



In many communities, trying to talk about this is seen as a clear sign that you are a racist. You are not allowed to talk about this.

Yeah, racists don't want anyone to talk about it.

A lot of these people who insist that "Anyone who [raises that topic] is a racist!" are just dumb. Some of them earnestly want to make the world a better place and eliminate racism, but they have NO idea that they are actually promoting race hatred by embracing and advocating the beliefs they have.

The point of my OP is that acts of racism are not treated equally by the American press.

If a black American claims "racism", then we are supposed to give the one making the claim the benefit of the doubt.

If a white American claims "racism", then we are supposed to be somewhat skeptical.

If you really believe that all races are equal -as I do- then you are going to treat all acts of racism equally, and you are going to treat all claim of racism equally.

there is nothing in the op that provides any information about the nature of the 'crime' being racial,, there is only reference to the race of the offender (with little about whether all the 'victims' were white)

so again, there is nothing there to report that's any different than the mob attacks where whites hurt other whites

and as far as black victims vs white victims, I beg to differ,,,,I see and would bet that studies would show, media reports much more often about white victims than black victims and more about black offenders than white ones,,,

when it comes to interracial crime,,,,the only difference is, people get upset that when blacks are the victim of a crime that seems as if it will go unpunished,, they have the gall to unite and protest for justice to be served

what makes 'national' news is perceived injustice, and sensational stories like child victims (most often pictured when they are white children by the way),,,,,

Good point!

I welcome anyone to show the evidence that acts of racism against whites is underreported,,,,specifically that interracial crime is (since none but one of the above stories has any inkling of a race based motivation)

every interracial crime is not a hate crime, criminals are bound to sometimes attack people of a different race, perhaps more to be expected from blacks statistically because they are so much more likely to be ENCOUNTERING those of a different race

but a hate crime is a specific thing that requires the MOTIVE To be based in bigotry towards a group by race, gender, sexual orientation

,, destruction of property and looting a campus doesn't qualify,,,

From the OP:



Move along, Folks. No racism to see here despite the racial epithets spewed by the attackers.

Especially professional race baiters like Al not so Sharpton.
