I've been jumped and beaten up by White youths before. I was even shot with a paintball gun by a White teenager when I was 11. It isn't limited to Blacks. Violence has happened to me at the hands of Black youths. I've seen alot of it from White youths as well.
The Chicago Blackhawks just won the Stanley Cup. Guess what? Fans started throwing bottles at the police. Things got out of hand. No pictures of Black people doing that. Vancouver after the 2011 Stanley Cup, there was a riot. No Black people.
I appreciate your sentiments...and generally speaking you are correct. However, there were blacks and other races besides whites rioting in Vancouver. Fact. Google images from the riots. Blacks make up 1% and Whites 45% of the city's population...so whites were certainly over represented in the riots.
That is quite scary. This kind of stuff scares me alot. What those Neo-Nazis stand for is quite scary and violent. Being Black, I know one of those types would want to kill me. The original skinhead movement(which started in Britain) was not a racist movement. It was White British working class youths and Afro-Caribbean immigrants in England. The Afro-Caribbean influences were part of the original skinhead movement. The movement was ruined when Neo-Nazis started to recruit youths and turn them against Blacks.
You are 100% correct. The original skinhead movement was way pre-punk and not about any music scene, etc. But it quickly turned into the "Oi!" kind of movement where non-whites were seen as a threat to British sovereignty, white superiority, etc.
We see the same thing here, sadly, where non-whites are villified as being lesser beings, more prone to violence or ignorance, etc. Latinos and blacks are thought of as some kind of boogeymen. Gotta have a scapegoat.
One of the skins I mentioned in the story above later moved to Washington state where he murdered a black man for the crime of being a black man. He got a long stint in prison. I sincerely hope he has a very hard time in there.
Meanwhile, those of us with a bit of intellect are fully capable of compartmentalizing the good from the bad when making observations of real life events.
Yes. Apparently in your version of what passes for "intellect" (which would seem to be a very myopic, binary type of thinking,) black = bad.
I was merely pointing out how ridiculous your statements have been through this thread.
I'm still hoping that one poster that claimed this happened in a suburban South Carolina high school comes back and tells me which one. I live here - I never heard of such a thing.
It's simple ..... get out your map and see which SC high school has the shortest commute to Oakland, CA, which is where the poster lives.
Stormfront must be quiet today. Most of its members are posting here. They are giddy with joy after seeing the photos of a dead Trayvon Martin so they really want to share their exuberance.
Here's the thing - this isn't a problem with the white youth in this country. So, it begs the question. Why? Why do we see this behavior exhibited by black youths and not white ones? Is this, as some posters have said, a cultural issue or is it a matter as others have said, a lack of activity issue? I think trying to deny this behavior is primarily perpetuated by black youths is disingenuous. This is not a reflection on all black youths but these type of mob activities have largely been committed by black youths.
So, in case this gets misconstrued in any way, I will restate. Not all black youths are doing this. However, most of these mob type activities are being committed by black youths. The question is why?
