I only have these questions.

1) Why did said individuals do such actions?
2) What will stop those individuals from doing such actions(that will not cost the rest of the Black population)?

That says it all regarding your own specific hatred.

Are some attacks racially motivated? Why yes, they are! Amazing! Just like the white mobs who have lynched innocent black men. There are idiots on both sides.

Let me rephrase that. There are idiots on all sides. What about the racial attacks on the Beharis in India? What about the attacks on Caucasians in Russia? How about the attacks in France against the Chinese?

You upset about those? Hmmm? Or do you reserve your hatred just for the "Liberals?"

1) Political correctness. This is the land of Al Franken, Garrison Keillor, Paul Wellstone, and American Public Media. Coincidence? I think not.

2) "The Price Of Freedom Is Eternal Vigilance." Minnesota is an open-carry state. 'Nuff said.

Minnesota isn't the only place such attacks have taken place. A few videos show this stuff taking place in Alabama and South Carolina, places known for being conservative and politically incorrect.

And for #2, what you are saying is that the only way to stop such attacks is through carrying a gun. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with it.

And Minnesota is also the home of Michele Bachmann, a conservative.

Minnesota has done a good job of exporting its toxic tonic of PC radio "entertainment" throughout the country. I have listened to Prairie Home Companion (against my will) while driving through Columbus and Birmingham. It is no surprise that these attacks have occurred anywhere with a public radio affiliate station.

Prove to me that these attacks have occurred near a Public Radio affiliate station. If proof cannot be provided, than all I can gather from this is

1) Lies have been told, and therefore, all trust is hereby forfeited.
2) There is a distinct distaste towards public radio
3) There is a mentality involved that includes "I know what is best politically for others"

BTW, I'm Black, and I do occasionally listen to NPR as well as MPR. I'm not in the streets attacking people. My father has listened to NPR. He isn't out in the streets attacking people. He's working and contributing to society. You can't blame this stuff on public radio.

I'm with ya on this sleepy, I always have a can of spam at the ready and did buy the remastered Beatles White album when that came out a few years back.

not public radio but probably Garrison Keillor and those subliminal "poems" he's always reciting

If incidents of blacks attacking whites (or white attacks on blacks) are in fact increasingly, it would an be ndicator of increasing racial turmoil and not just of general social disorder. Many people have thought that the racial divide was narrowing so this might contradict that idea.

The last recorded lynching of a black man by whites was the murder of Michael Donald in 1981. We are not discussing India, Russia, France, or US history. We are discussing what is happening in our own city in our own time.

I watched some of those videos and to me it doesn't appear as blacks assaulting whites but rather young school aged children attacking other people. Perhaps we should be worried about school aged children and not black people in general.
