The problem with that is the Gov't are the real bullies. People need to strategize and come together in order to think of a solution to eliminate the enemy within. When that happens, everything will change. Until then, nothing. I truly hope it does though, and soon. People are smarter than that, they know what's going on however, they need a leader to pave the way, something to believe in. Then revolution will begin and freedom will reign.
We tried getting away from a corrupt and bullyish government in 1860-61... All that proved is that the victors get to rewrite history the way they want to.

The man is free to espouse any nonsense he wants, and you are free to refute them how you see fit. However, you are not free to assault or be violent towards him.

I have a question for you.
Pretend you are a cop, and you want to catch criminals.
Who are you going to look for?
Will you play it dumb and hard and assume everyone is a criminal, or will you follow the clear statistics to find the criminals the easy way?
You mean statistics like these (pg. 4 of report):
Ferguson’s law enforcement practices overwhelmingly impact African Americans. Data collected by the Ferguson Police Department from 2012 to 2014 shows that African Americans account for 85% of vehicle stops, 90% of citations, and 93% of arrests made by FPD officers, despite comprising only 67% of Ferguson’s population.
African Americans are more than twice as likely as white drivers to be searched during vehicle stops even after controlling for non-race based variables such as the reason the vehicle stop was initiated, but are found in possession of contraband 26% less often than white drivers, suggesting officers are impermissibly considering race as a factor when determining whether to search.
Or did you have something else in mind?
Yes those work just fine.
It isnt because they are black.
It isnt racial.
It is simple statistics.
Blacks commit more crimes than whites.

Today it is taught it was about slavery.
When in fact it was about states rights VS. the FED GOV.
Good spin tactics existed even back then.

I am white. I am male. I feel the white/male guilt every day of my life.
Oh wait... I'm also mostly Irish....
The Irish Slave Trade – The Forgotten “White” Slaves
Does this mean I can be 'racist' to the privileged white Americans and British?
I ACCEPT! Feel the guilt, privileged Americans/British-Folk!
Could be worse... People could do it while he's not looking, and just because he's black. However, that doesn't fit the guidelines of the "knockout game." The victim has to be white. People like this professor never had anything negative to say about that though.

Based on... what?
Even a conservative-leaning website will report over 40% of violent crimes being committed by whites and under 25% of the same crimes being committed by blacks.

Brother I think we may actually be assaulting this guy with our presence and he may need a "safe space" remember to be white is an affront to those who are "minority challenged".
Who is 'this guy' here?

Threatening, punching, or otherwise resorting to base emotions over what someone says is a sign of stupidity, not intelligence, not dignity, not honor. If one must fight to defend his hurt feelings, I would argue he is fairly weak for doing so.

I agree, and more so i was responding to a person based on my expectations on what they wanted to hear from another poster. However a good old fashion ass kicking seems appropriate when hate speech is espoused regularly from our institutions of higher learning, believe it or not I've seen such things solve problems quicker than hugging it out, and i am fully aware of the legal ramifications of violence.
It solves nothing. It goes against the principle of free speech.
I and many others will disagree 100% on that point.
I have seen 2 guys that never liked eachother, always had words, could never get along, get into a fist fight.
A couple of days later they were great friends, and have been now for years.
It solves a lot, a lot of the time.
It is far from enlightened thought to assume that humans should be civilized at all times.
As evidenced by the fact it is absurd based on all data from all known species on this entire planet in its known history.
Civility is the illusion, it doesnt exist, nor should it in its absolute form.
Humans are violent, just like all other life on this planet.
To deny this obvious fact is ridiculous.

What he seems to be saying is that white people are lesser than all other humans because we carry a defect known as "racism". He of course (in his own mind) has no such defects, because as a black man he is superior.
NO, you claim he thinks that he's superior because he's calling whites racist.
The reasons whites are accused of racism clogs the history books, I don't need him to tell me this
Now you're offended for being reminded and you want to put him down, don't you?
He said you will be racist if you are born with white skin no matter what. In that, he is as racist as anyone who said that any person born with black skin was less than human no matter what.
