So you want to kill the president and sundry other black people. I am unsurprised. Keep an eye out for party vans.

Especially if trump gets in!

I doubt any one can prove that racism has increased with barry in office. Yall just love to say that.

Have you not seen The Purge?

a reply to: Monger

Doesn't matter the word has been around a lot longer.

From people dieting to 'purge' themselves.

From someone going to the bathroom to 'purge' themselves.

I love how my post got twisted in to 'I want to kill' blacks.

Then someone hasn't been paying attention to the last 8 years.

From 'If I had a son he look like Trayvon'. To the Fergusons. To New York where 2 cops were gunned down.

To 8 more that have been murder, and who can forget the 'police acted stupidly'.

To 'black lives matter'.

Tensions have escalated to unprecedented levels since the days the MLK.

Now there was a real leader.

We have a black president in the white house and since he has been in office it seems to me that racism has grown? Why is that? You would think this would be an issue that needs to be addressed EVEN MORE now than ever.

There are several reasons, in my opinion...

1. There are still a lot of very ignorant people in the USA, people who would love nothing more than to see a return to the darkest days of segregation and even slavery. They have become increasingly angry and violent as they see the society change around them, and on various issues. When you find a racist, you usually find that they call themselves "Christian", they're usually Conservative (yes, complain all you like, it's a fact, deal with it), they're usually homophobic, and they're usually very vocal about their imagined right to use violence against people they don't like. In the past few years we've seen all their favorite issues being confronted and they feel desperate, backed into a corner, angry that their beliefs about the society they want are not at all supported by the majority of Americans - this is what breeds extremist acts. Christians no longer have a hegemony, conservative morality is being increasingly rejected, gay marriage has passed despite their protestations, people are increasingly calling for tougher gun laws... collectively these changes feel like an assault on them, when really it's just that they want to live in the 1950's and don't know how to deal with societal progress.

2. Racism in policing has never really been dealt with. In the UK we had to face institutional racism in the Police back in the 1990's, but the US doesn't seem to have passed this milestone at any point. Admittedly, it took us in the UK to see massive failures in investigating a race hate crime for it to come to the fore and be dealt with, and maybe that's what you're now seeing in the US with the very public discussion about the shootings of unarmed black men.

3. Media likes to grab hold of every story relating to an issue when it shows it has legs - "if it bleeds it leads". Given the protests and the violence over police brutality cases, the media is picking up every story about race when perhaps just a couple of years ago it wouldn't. These things have always happened, only now they're being reported on more eagerly because it gets viewers.

4. Social media allows idiots to say anything they like without them considering the consequences. It's really not unlike the drunk in the bar who goes into a rant about something and ends up in a fight, normally they wouldn't do that, but they're drunk. The same applied to social media in my opinion, people feel as though they're insulated and can say whatever they feel like saying and they don't consider that everyone out there can see it or what that might mean for them. There has always been ignorant village idiots, only now they have a megaphone.

5. Far more people have the ways and means to record incidents which would otherwise go unseen or unbelieved. These days, when a cop is arresting someone (anyone) someone is filming it. Combined with the attitude you have in the US of giving police the power to act with impunity, and given the corrupt nature of police supporting each other under all circumstances, it's inevitable that these behavioral norms from police would increasingly be caught on camera and displayed to a society which pretended it wasn't happening for far too long. People have always faced abuse from police in the US, both white and black, and it's been left unchecked for decades. This has led to a policing mentality where they "can do no wrong", where even a suspect is presumed guilty, or even justifiably executed for imagined crimes, bypassing the justice system entirely. You have police thinking they are the judge, the jury and the executioner, when their job is limited to investigating crimes and detaining those SUSPECTED of crimes to the justice system.

On the last point about civil war, I don't think you're anywhere near that yet. People on ATS like to claim that a war is coming every other day.
What is plausible is massive civil unrest. That's always a danger and it's easily started. When you have "Oath Keepers" showing up to civil protests armed to the teeth pretending they're in the army you do need to take it seriously, one wrong move can start a spiral of warring groups which ultimately starts to polarize a society in much the same way Syria went.

I don't care if people want to complain about this perception, but the Oath Keepers are not governed or sanctioned, they are not under any form of oversight, and therefore they are and should be considered to be a terrorist threat. When you have a group of armed men appearing on the streets with their clear and obvious biases and bigotries about people within their own society, it is a terrorist threat.

Unfortunately I can see something like the Rodney King riot happening again, and on a larger scale too. It all depends on how events are dealt with, and whether the forces involved are intent to increase tensions.

Except there are just as many racists blacks that would identify as neither Christian or conservative. Minus the labels if you're stupid you just are stupid white racist, stupid black racist. Stupid Hispanic racists, whatever. The real fact is you can't fix stupid. The other fact is ignoring or justifying because people in other races do it too won't fix it.

a reply to: neo96

And racist attacks didn't happen with bush?
Or do we just not talk about that?

How about all the white attacks? Those his fault too?
From the cops in Nevada or dylan roof.
Trump doesn't get blamed for the two guys that beat up the homeless man but barry gets the blame for every black person.
Makes sense.

Racism exist before he was in office and it will exist outside of it as ewll

a reply to: Sremmos80

Can't really say for sure.

The media was too busy whining about Iraq, and how stupid W was.

Although sure don't remember under the W administration of constantly being told how 'racist' i was.

And they sure didn't report that W did more for the 'black' man with his work in Africa. Than any of his predecessors.

But hey all us 'white' folks need to die. As per the topic.

Oh, you're right. Because racism is only tallied as White on Black racism

The Black on White racism (which HAS increased, but there is no measure for it since it's not tallied nor is it even believed to be a real thing) is most definitely on the rise since he was elected.

It started the very next morning.

*slow clap

Well said.

Double standards (even those that are denied) make me angry.

What makes black people THINK they can take us?
Basicly we don't LIKE trouble we allow others their acts out of POLITENESS
,.but try an start a real RACE war and they would die a miserable death,uneccessarily.

How many of those VS how many of times have we heard things like what the OP had in the last , hell even 6 months?

You cant tell me the number isnt disproportionate

From Black Panthers standing out making threats muliple times, to BLM making threats almost every damn week

I dont agree with what that guy said at all in what you just posted, but how long before you think people are going to get pissed off?

How long being publically called to be killed for the color of your skin or because you have a badge, do you think people are going to take that?

Give me a break

Thanks for the transcript. Again not a lawyer but it seems like from a legal standpoint it might come down to something as technical as using not using the world kill even though the point was the same. Maybe we have a lawyer lurking ats to clear it up.

Maybe also something in who he threatened vs white people???? Again don't know. Neither are right, both are stupid, but maybe why one was arrested one wasn't. Different states may account for it to????? Don't know.

He does what presidents should do.

Just fade away.

Seriously you should back up your claims at least one time, I know there's an echo chamber here that doesn't really require more than 'so and so said' but... if it matters at all to you, your integrity is probably in doubt with members that don't exist in that echo chamber.
