    "Have" to? No. Just wondering if there's any sense to be made of it.

    I know before I say this, that David Chapelle's comedy will rub a lot of Christians the wrong way, and some here may even doubt my faith once that find out I'm a fan of his.

    But he did a skit about a blind black man who joined the KKK that I think everyone should watch.

    If they didn't catch him, whom would they have speculated blame on?

    He did what any good CIA agent would do. To escalate a situation to the desired goal, sometimes one must manufacture events.

    Maybe he just forgot to bring matches?

    Whatever the "reason" he did this we aren't talking about Obama's secret trade deals and how the republican party is helping him stick another dagger in the back of all Americans.

    That's the important thing.

    LOL. Yup. The GOP really showed everyone who they serve. But there'll be the folks here that call us abortionists and g@y marriage zealots when we don't vote for them next year.

    In the comments, it's just another occasion for people to lash out at "blacks" indiscriminately, as being the [only] ones trying to start a race war, so they can get "free handouts". (Again, what it always comes back to in this way of thinking). :rolleyes:

    Both sides are angry and have individuals who will do crazy things or just react and blame the other side in a broad, generalistic fashion, (and even try to frame the other side at times, like this). This just then proves to each side that they were right all along in their generalizations; that's it's all the other side's evil agenda, and that nothing the other side points out ever has any validity.
    That's why all of this is just escalating now. It's a total back and forth cycle.

    It's called "divide and conquer" or a "strategy of tension".

    Now we not only have a false left vs right paradigm we also have a false democrat vs republican paradigm, a false white vs black paradigm, a false gender vs transgender paradigm, a false hetero vs homo paradigm a false male vs female paradigm and the list goes on . . .

    We're all fools to keep falling for them.

    Who or what benefits from all these false paradigms and media created and stage managed divisions?

    And what is lurking behind them that we aren't supposed to notice?

    Um...I'm still confused. Would one of y'all talk to me like I'm a 4th-grader?

    Or do we not know why someone would do this?

    Because the corporate media is so successful at manipulating people operating on a third grade level or lower Don.
