    I'm telling you that contrary to the narrative you want to tell, Blacks aren't any more violent than are the white folks they learned it from.:thumbsup:

    See you and your FOX News crew are big on taking responsibility, except when the folks who need to take responsibility includes white people..

    You say that black people would go and commit violence against my black friends that they disagree with. Are you saying that white people will also come and commit violence against my white friends they disagree with? My white friends disagree with you, are you going to come beat them up?

    I had already answered your question. Now what you may want to do is go reel in the next Dylann Roof and deal with the folks who brought violence to this country.

    Actually you didn't answer. Let me refresh your memory:

    "You say that black people would go and commit violence against my black friends that they disagree with. Are you saying that white people will also come and commit violence against my white friends they disagree with?"

    You haven't answered that.

    Also, what people brought violence to this country that I can go "reel in"?

    Actually I did answer. there are simply too many instances of police offers murdering unarmed black people and now a young 21 year old tells it like it is and exposes that ALL LIVES DON'T MATTER as he carried out the murder of 9 souls while spouting the right wing garbage of FOX News and "conservative" talk.

    White people historically brought violence to the shores of the US and continue to terrorize Blacks and people of color with violence.

    No, you haven't answered. You've also added a new question to the list you haven't answered. Here's the questions:

    Are you saying that white people will also come and commit violence against my white friends they disagree with?

    What people brought violence to this country that I can go "reel in"?

    Would you be kind enough to explain the highlighted portion with specifics and not generalities? Would love to know "who said what", that fits this criteria.
    Thank you!

    The problem here is way too much generalization. Not to mention THESE alarming statements:
    No one likes Zaac charging at "white people" and making them all "guilty" of the entire history of racism in the country, but statements like the above is exactly the same thing. People complain of "the race card" being played on them, when they're still putting it in the deck to begin with!
    (And as conservative Christians, people are forgetting all the criticism of society as a whole for slacking off on morality/respect, etc. in raising kids. Now, it's all suddenly become 'split' off onto just one group).

    And like charging all whites with racism, it's a ridiculous generalization. Especially the oft insisted “blacks just want free money and don’t want to work”, which is what it always comes back to.

    The shooter was obviously operating off of beliefs like that, but then of all the people agreeing with that and spouting it off themselves, no one wants to own the premise behind his actions. (e.g. What else should be done with these "problem people" who just refuse to come up to "par" with "the rest of us", won't work, just want and are getting all our money for free, filling the nation with poverty and violence/crime etc.; either themselves, or from not teaching their kids right)?

    Here's an article on this. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/06/18/charleston-church-shootin_n_7613540.html

    Doesn't this sound SO familiar???

    Notice, (in all of this) no distinction is made between the people as a whole, and the individuals who are either committing the crimes, abusing assistance (which again, is way overrated) or not raising their children properly.
    People seem to want some sort of en-masse scolding, correcting, teaching, etc. of an entire “people”. It’s like you’ve caught a bad child doing something wrong, and aim to take him to the woodshed to "fix" him, but that’s ONE person. We’re talking about millions of individuals, all different, and making separate sorts of choices. But it's like they're not people; they're just a bad singular entity (like some sort of zombie race or something with a single soul) we just wish were corralled. And isn't that a kind of "superior/inferior" relationship? "Good, 'exceptional' US, and bad, 'pathological' THEM"?

    So to say “they just need to...” is not going to do anything. You already have families working raising their children as best as they can. What do you expect them to do, (since it’s the whole “community”)?

    In these sweeping generalizations, the most we get, eventually, is "well, I have some black friends, and they aren't like that... But the rest of them..."
    This is what's been called "good ones". You berate the whole community, but then make a few exceptions, the "good ones", to claim the issue is "character and not race", but then once the good ones are set aside, then you go back to upbraiding the rest of the group, which is obviously "bad" . Now people began seeing through that a long time ago, so it's not helping either.

    I have specifically said the white people who teach racism and racial prejudice. ANd they should feel guilty as they are.

    The kid said what he did because racist and racially prejudiced white people, like many on this board, have taught him and generations these stereotypes about Black people.

    They espouse these parrot points of FOX News as though they are the truth and then don't want to shoulder the responsibility for creating Frankenstein

    It is my belief that Zaac and Eric B are the same person.

    Since I was here way longer than Zaac (the year after the founding of the BB, in fact), then you're accusing me of using the "Zaac" account as a sock puppet (And I saw someone accuse him of posting under other names as well).
    Either that, or anyone who disagrees with you must be one person (just like I mentioned a whole race is being treated like it's a single person).

    The difference is, that I don't charge in at at a group with blanket statements like calling a whole people or nation "racist". I'm just pointing out that the rhetoric many use is way overgeneralized and connects with that of those who most would admit as being racist.
