Race war ?

It's apparent that whomever pulls the strings of mass media wants to instigate a race war in the U.S between Caucasians and African Americans Everyday there are articles and videos of (ironically enough) Caucasians committing racist and or hostile acts towards African Americans. Yet when it's a African American committing the same towards Caucasians or themselves there is little to no coverage of it In simpler terms (WtF is going on behind the scenes that the vail of war must be used to conceal it ? ) Your thoughts Flood ?

    It's not media moguls trying to get viewers who are bringing attention to the killings of unarmed black people by police, it's black activists. One of the biggest criticisms of mainstream media outlets by those activists, in fact, is that they ignore the shootings and the subsequent protests until well after a good deal of the regular users of social media have already become aware of it. White people, specifically, being shot by police isn't covered much because [url=http://www.vox.com/2015/4/10/8382457/police-shootings-racism]it is not a racial problem for white people[/url].

  • I consider myself somewhat in the middle given that I'm a Mexican and therefore a minority like Blacks but albeit a bit more successful than most of my Mexican peers, sort of like the Whites. To be honest, I don't believe in race wars or racism. It was certainly true during the 1960s and preceding times. But today I believe that economic status and class is a larger dividing factor and source of tension in our society today than racism is. Now admittedly it may have a disparate affect on certain races, but the racial aspect is just the effect of the larger problem and not necessarily the cause. I think that the poor, middle-class, and even traditionally wealthy classes such as doctors and lawyers are being hit hard by the literal 1% of mega-billionaire corporations and businessmen. That is the divide. If some type of apocalyptic 1960s revolution was to happen in America, I really doubt it would be race-based. I strongly believe that it would be more quasi-Marxist in nature, a class-based thing with the 1% being overthrown by everybody. Then everybody dividing further based upon their class with say the traditionally wealthy at the top, the poor at the bottom, and the middle-class split evenly down the middle into either category. To put it bluntly, I could see Black disenfranchised street-gangs aligning themselves with White disenfranchised trailer-trash and biker gangs before I could see them aligning with Cosby-esque successful Blacks. I could similarly see successful Hispanics aligning with successful Whites before Hispanic street gangs and so on. Race is a dying concept, even traditionally racist groups such as White Supremacists have slowly been realizing this. Hence why they have began allowing ALL Whites into their ranks whereas a century ago the Irish, Italians, Slavs, and Greeks weren't regarded as any better than Blacks, and why today many are pushing to open their doors to light-skinned Hispanics. The race-baiters and other progressives don't really care about racism. Otherwise they wouldn't be so silent about the extremely disparate effect that Planned Parenthood and abortion has on minorities. They are just beating a dead horse because there is money to be made from race-baiting. Convince all the Blacks, Mexicans, and other minorities that Whites are the enemy, and they'll vote Democrat. Convince all the Whites that Blacks, Mexicans, and other minorities are a threat to your traditional way of life, and they'll vote Republican. Meanwhile the only true victors are the 1% at the very top which controls both of the parties.

      Divide and conquer. It's how the Bolsheviks destablized Russia and then how the Communists tried to destablize every government after that. Find whoever the group or class in power is and tear it apart. People who know nothing of history usually whip out the infantile "tinfoil hat" meme at this without realizing that our situation is nearly a carbon copy of what went on in every Communist takeover. They may not be Communists, or may not call it that anymore, but the patterns are all there. Also, the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) was founded by 11 or 12 Communist Jews and only one black (also confirmed Communist). Among the chairs of the NAACP was a banker from New York named Jacob Schiff, who just so happened to be the largest American donor to the Bolsheviks. He also housed Leon Trotsky (Lev Bronshtein) when he visited the US. Trotsky, a top Communist leader in Russia, is credited for coining and spreading the use of the term "racism." These people didn't even let a black man become president of the NAACP for the first 70 years of its existence.

        Well you have the liberal media saying race is an issue, and the conservative media saying its not. That alone is enough to polarize people, as you can pick the side you want. Why is this happening? It's simple. Elections are coming up, and there's big stuff in the works in Washington like the TPP that big business really doesn't want you giving your opinion to your representatives on. The major media CEOs and owners pushes the candidates that will serve them best with lots of air time (Trump and Hillary) and down play anyone who threatens the chokehold they have on the government. So the less you know the better in their minds. People too busy fighting amongst themselves are too busy seeing their government being secured by the rich and powerful and their economy being -blam!- with "free trade agreements." Distract, divide, conquer.

            • I find it funny how Whites have had a few small instances of outrageousness, like shootings, that's over in a day. Black People get mad about how people think of them because of Black person being shot: Burns down businesses, flips cars, kills people. Who is REALLY in the wrong here? Who can't take any hits? Tell me.
