Baker Boy 1,507 Posted June 22, 2015 White Lives Don't Matter! nearly 770,000 violent interracial crimes committed every year involving Blacks and Whites, Blacks commit 85 percent and Whites commit 15 percent. Blacks commit more violent crime against whites than against blacks. Forty-five percent of their victims are white, 43 percent are Black, and 10 percent are Hispanic. When Whites commit violent crime, only three percent of their victims are Black. Blacks are an estimated 39 times more likely to commit a violent crime against a White than vice versa. Blacks are 2.25 times more likely to commit officially-designated hate crimes against whites than vice versa. http://en.metapedia.org/wiki/Race_and_crime Where is the outrage? Where is the 24/7 media coverage? Where are the bios on the victims? Where is the media funeral coverage? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mungwater 589 Posted June 22, 2015 When I went to college in Georgia, I was called a Yankee. The kids were taught in school about "The War of Northern Aggression". Not just joking about it amongst friends or at the local KKK rally, but in school, that is the term that they used. Silly. This is not an unbiased source, but it does have some good history points. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/05/06/1207171/-Mything-the-Point-The-War-of-Northern-Aggression# I grew up in Chicago and went to school in charleston where the fight song was Dixie. They used it too, and have battle streamers on our flag from the war. In my office I have a print someone gave me of cadets fighting in the battle of tullifany. I was called out so much for being a Yankee that I actually practiced a bland accent in my room, which I still have, unless I have too much to drink or go home to Chicago. Like I said, most folks still spew the south shall rise again crap until they grow up a bit. It's a different world down there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KSB2424 3,087 Posted June 22, 2015 I grew up in NC and was always taught it was called The Civil War. Maybe different in SC or GA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MDC 6,013 Posted June 22, 2015 Authorities said Saturday that the man accused of killing nine African Americans in a venerable Charleston, S.C., church left a racist manifesto targeting blacks, Jews and Hispanics on his Web site, a white supremacist broadside that also appears to offer a rationale for the shootings. The lengthy declaration, loaded with offensive racial characterizations of blacks and others, includes the conclusion that “someone has to have the bravery to take it to the real world, and I guess that has to be me.” “I have no choice,” states part of that final section, titled “An Explanation.” “I am not in the position to, alone, go into the ghetto and fight. I chose Charleston because it is [the] most historic city in my state, and at one time had the highest ratio of blacks to Whites in the country.” As the investigation continued, a church deacon said that Emanuel would be open. Roof was arrested Thursday about 250 miles north of Charleston, in Shelby, N.C., and is being held on $1 million bond. He has been charged with nine counts of murder and one count of possessing a firearm while committing a violent crime. He is in solitary confinement in the Charleston County jail and, according to county police, is on a suicide watch. The manifesto unearthed Saturday states that “the event that truly awakened me was the Trayvon Martin case,” which, a friend of Roof’s said Saturday, is a theme he has spoken of before. Martin, an unarmed black high school student, was fatally shot in 2012 by George Zimmerman in a racially charged case in Florida. Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer who said he acted in self-defense, was found not guilty of second-degree murder. But the vast majority of the rant, which displays some unusually sophisticated language if all of it was written by Roof, a ninth-grade dropout, reveals a deep hatred of minorities — particularly blacks — and a strong belief in racist stereotypes. “Negroes have lower Iqs, lower impulse control, and higher testosterone levels in generals,” the manifesto declares. “These three things alone are a recipe for violent behavior.” It observes that “if we could somehow destroy the jewish identity, then they wouldn’t cause much of a problem” and that there are “good hispanics and bad hispanics,” many of whom, it says, “are White.” http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/authorities-investigate-whether-racist-manifesto-was-written-by-sc-gunman/2015/06/20/f0bd3052-1762-11e5-9ddc-e3353542100c_story.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GobbleDog 829 Posted June 22, 2015 When I visited Cleveland a few years back I came upon a Yankee war memorial. Being from the South I'd never seen one, only Confederate memorials. I didn't know whether to salute or spit. So I took a picture of the dead Yankee soldier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magnificent Bastard 190 Posted June 22, 2015 I am against looting and rioting. I would make an exception if some black guys went and destroyed the flag that hangs over the capital of South Carolina. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Djgb13 2,338 Posted June 23, 2015 Sorry guys but I like the rebel flag. Most people from the south consider it a southern pride flag whereas most people who aren't from the south see it as a racist flag. A lot of people are saying they feel offended when they see it because of slavery. Shouldnt Indians feel offended when they see the American flag seeing as how we slaughtered them, raped their women, and took their land? The fact is the flag has nothing to do with the racism or the violence going on in our country. It's just another thing people want to direct their attention at instead of the individual. No one can take responsibility anymore. It's always something or someone else's fault. It doesn't fly over the state Capitol. It flies next to the confederate memorial on Capitol grounds. If they remove the flag from Capitol grounds it isn't changing anything. So I still fail to see why people are attacking it all of a sudden out of no where Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
