1. this is an op-ed piece. about as legitimate as anything posted on this forum
2. the word 'riot' never appeared in the article. to quote specifically:
Quote:
If McCain wins, look for a full-fledged race and class war, fueled by a deflated and depressed country, soaring crime, homelessness - and hopelessness!
what this is saying is quite a bit different that what you are suggesting.

People don't remember the death toll from the Rodney King riots.

Maybe it is time to put some of these people in jail. I worked with the public for 28 years and realized that a white middle class lady would come in with her children and when you explained the rules, she knew they were to be obeyed. It came to the point that I hated to mention that a rule was being broken to a black mother. I got ignored a lot. It was not until I was listening to a lecture on the Martin Luther King theory of disobedience that I realized what I had been dealing with. When a group of Americans teach their people to disregard the law what do you expect. No wonder our prisons are filling up with these people. They have more than equality now and it is time to put a stop to this chaos.

I agree, but how much more chaos ensues while trying to do that? We either let it alone, or another civil war is inevitable.

I stand corrected. I foresee riots. But a full fledge race war would be much nicer.

The only way McCain can win is if--and only if--the Republicans successfully steal the election, as they did in 2000 and 2004. The notion of "race riots" is nothing more than right wing race baiting and fear mongering.

Is having a "full-fledged race and class war" not as bad as a race riot?

Just to clarify you think it is MLK teachings that are at fault for blacks being imprisoned hate higher rates then whites?

So if we use the term race war, it is not right wing race baiting and fear mongering. And if we use race riot, it is?
