Soon videos like this will be a thing of the past.
Obama has a new program that will fix all that is wrong with these fragile youth.

So Ronald Reagan hurt your feelings with his choice of locations?

LOL

Black people clearly have a long way to go if their feelings are hurt that easily.

Perhaps he should have laid out his case in New York City, where riots took place over black people moving north to take white peoples jobs.

Your righteous indignation is ignorant.

There are two things going on here. One is you deciding to hammer people in the Ghetto by starting a thread showing selective videos and using identifiable tactics to promote racism and national division. Two, is the fact that there are problems in minority communities which need to be addressed with rational, reasonable, solutions instead of the simplistic bumper sticker sloganeering you advocate.
To distill your message to it's lowest common denominator you are basically saying, "Look at these miserable black leeches! they should all get a job and then everything would be fine."
You even call them "American Leeches" in the title of your thread so your agenda is very clear.
It appears you hang out on certain boards wayyyyy too much. You know things that others don't about racist handles and the like. Good for you. You seem way caught up in racism........like your hero orders you to do. I used to respect your posts...........not anymore.

I turn over rocks and expose the truth behind the message.

Sorry my posts offend you, chief. Thought we could disagree and still maintain respect. Good to know where we stand in your eyes. Appreciate the heads up.

You can take one look at this video and see all that strength and energy with no where positive to go -- 18, 19 year old boys can benefit enormously from jobs in housing construction and landscaping but take one look at that -- it's almost all illegals. When I looked at that video, I didn't exactly see thugs, thugs would have been using crowbars, bats, knives and guns. I just saw what happens to older teen boys when they don't have anything to do.
That is exactly what I saw. They weren't thugs, they were bored kids. What struck me even more than the fighting was the fact that there were others, very young kids, too, standing around laughing, thinking it was funny. It was the highlight of their day, and they'll be talking about it for weeks.

That's such a waste of a young kid's mind.

Exactly right. And that is how the revolving door keeps turning, turning, and turning. Next thing you know, an entire generation of a single family is on the government dole, uneducated, in jail, and/or churning out other worthless members of society.

But yet we're racists for pointing it out. Don't believe me? Just ask Mohawk.

You haven't exposed anything. All you've done is hide behind the term "dog whistle" as some sort of Off Broadway attempt to call me a racist.

Oh I don't know about that. I'm not hiding behind anything. I'm in your face, calling it the way I see it, and drawing my conclusions based on your current and historical posts.
Frankly, I don't think you've ever even heard the term dog whistle before today, even though it's a very common description of right wing racism.

Does calling a race of people "worthless members of society" qualify as racist? You just did, two posts up the line.
Dog whistling isn't something I made up. It is an actual recognized practice used by racists and this thread meets all the criteria.
You call the subject of your thread, which are black people in ghettos, "Leeches and worthless members of society" and then put up a cherry picked video of them fighting. I suppose you think you're acting as a peacemaker and uniter.
It looks like a duck. It quacks like a duck. It walks like a duck. And it sure smells like a duck.

Didn't offend me in the least. Hell you would have to go a long way to offend me. You seem to be going off the deep end in pushing the racism thing..........I hope I am wrong..........I may be.....you seem like a guy I'd sit down and have a beer with...........but that last post was just out there if you know what I mean. I will digress............like I said.....beer one of these days? I will buy the first round.

In other words, your feelings are hurt.

Again, I could care less if my choice of words makes you uncomfortable.

I challenge you to show me how the ghetto culture provides anything BUT a drag on society.

Emotions don't cut it. I want to hear why you think I'm wrong in my assertions.

I don't think you can do it without calling me a racist. It's not in the liberal ideological DNA to be able to own up to their own disastrous ideology. You simply cannot do it.
