I ask you. And as you consider your reply, I ask that you imagine the fifth sentence of the preceding paragraph being pronounced by Dr. Michael Eric Dyson.
Why are you asking me this and what does it have to do with this thread?

I no longer can watch this anymore and switch the channel. All this is doing is reenforcing negative stereotypes. I'm tired of this and the last few years I feel the media has instigated all of this to the point of more ratings at the expense of the general public.
Because we live in a world full of zombies and cowards that will believe anything they see and hear.

Years and years of programming by media has brought our world to the point that it is at right now.

Rich are continuing to get richer while the average man fights and bickers over skin tone.

People suck.

It was not undisclosed. I said Hispanics. It's you who trying to turn it into racism. I did not mention any other race.
I might be missing something, but I haven't seen that Hispanics have burned down any cities, haven't looted and destroyed business, haven't demanded that Whites can't use certain words in the English language, haven't gone on a crusade to vilify the police in the USA, don't riot and shoot people over $250 clown shoes, etc. etc. etc.

Hispanics, IMO, have instead joined the mainstream and avoided such nonsense and instead work with society in general instead of against it.

If you take some sort of offense at this, and obviously you do, that is your issue. Not mine. Yawn.

You said you have seen Hispanics rioting. I asked you where. You will not answer this despite being asked several times. Since you asked, I don't respond to your nonsense & links as demonstrated in your 2nd quote.

Conclusion: You simply made it up.

Detroit police helped white residents attack, mutilate and murder blacks to prevent them from moving into the neighborhood.

Both of these riots (and many more) were started by WHITES against blacks, because as usual...the sight of dark skin scared the bejeebus out of them. Kinda like how they do TODAY. Lol

I swear being white must be a daily bout of fear from everyone NOT white. I don't know how many can stand it without going crazy...oh wait?

Because the person has NO BLACK FRIENDS in REAL life. That's why.

If they had black friends or even acquaintances half of the nonsense posted here wouldn't need to be said nor asked.

Like considering all 60 million blacks in this country (regardless of whether or not they're from a foreign country) all part of one huge borg where one or two "leaders" tell us what to do and answer all questions and concerns for the "black community". LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!

And obviously if you would've clicked the links it would've told you where the events took place.

I'm sorry if using common sense is insulting to you, I'll refrain from using that along with facts so I won't bother you.

Lmao exactly, they crack me up! Check out this thread and laugh at the hypocrisy.

The same thing happened a couple of months earlier and involved a Black family, and as usual some of the most hateful comments were posted.

Now those same people are ignoring that thread Lmao!

Idiot conservatives complain about it yet continue watching as if they had no self control, same as they're tuning into the Kardashians just to complain about them. Don't come whining on here about the problem you created and continue to perpetuate. If the righties ignored these media stories, they'd disappear.

You said you personally witnessed Hispanics rioting. When asked where, you can't answer. i.e. You lied and are not man enough to admit it.

i.e. You have not proven what I said was wrong.
