I was about 110 miles from LA when it happened.
I lived in Torrance at the time. Our local police did a great job of keeping the looters and roving gangs of thugs out of the area.

4.6% as compared to your initial claim of 60%, and now your claim of 45%.

Where are you getting these numbers? You are literally trying to claim that half of the black male population is in jail.
I'm guessing she got her stats from stormfront.

Nationwide statistics. Directly from 2 different sources, including the Department of Justice.

Thank you for reminding me that it was not OJ that caused them, it was another black man doing something wrong that caused them instead of OJ.

Sorry, I was too young to remember all the issues but I do know why there was troubles.

My true colors are showing because I am sick of when blacks call whites racist its ok, or when a black calls a white something and its ok, but when a white calls out the truth it is wrong.

You and I know people act differently, history shows that. There are good and bad on all races, but one race seems to always act with agression and forcefulness.

Uhhmmmm again, 6 out of every 10 black men are in prison. Now tell me why that is?

If McCain loses it will be racist thing because blacks wont vote for the best candidate, they will vote for the black man first. That is racist!

Have a super day, Sunshine Chick
Because of white cops? JK but if that is true that is astonishing.

Ok did the research and here it is.


1 out of every 39 Hispanic men

1 out of every 15 black men

1 out of 355 white women

1 out of 100 black women.


Your numbers were off but you conclusion is still supported barely though.


To the OP no. If it is it will be the college kids as they are in love with a particular candidate!

What kind of uprising are we talking about? In the civil war, when Republican Abraham Lincoln won, half the country broke away.

Riots, yes. Certain areas because that is just the way these people behave. Come on, they rioted in LA and burned innocent peoples businesses to the ground and used a brick to attack an innocent truck driver all because a murderer named OJ. What do you think?

Will there be riots if McCain loses, no.[/QUOTe

Firstly, who are these people? What evidence do you have that these people (whoever they are) will behave this way again? Come on with it!!

By “these people” I will assume you are referring to black people. Of course, given their “savage” DNA; how else would you expect them to behave?

Of course, if McCain loses there will be no rioting, because the "other people" are civilized.

Is that what you’re implying?

It's a sad stereotype, but one that is perpetuated in the media. As one example; the spectacle of looters during the flooding of NO is in stark contrast to the lack of looters during the Iowa floods.

Those are the kind of pictures the media exploits and unfortunately the ones that stick in the mind of the populace.
