I have not heard any of this kind of talk on Stormfront(it exists there, but I don't go to Stormfront. I would not go there). I have heard some people say that a race war is looming, or is beginning. These persons were talking about the "flash mob" violence going on in places like Milwaukee, Denver, Philadelphia, Chicago, etc. I have been hearing about the attacks and I condemn such acts and feel such persons should be held accountable. I'm African-American and when I hear about such attacks, I get feelings of anger, embarrassment, and asking "why is this happening?" alot. The attacks, I knew there were young African-Americans involved in the attacks. I know that these persons were often attacking White people. All things considered, the words "race war" never crossed my mind. This is the way I see it. If a full out war was beginning, it would be more than physical attacks. I figured there would be guns, shootings, and other things more characteristic of war in the traditional sense. Personally, I don't know why these attacks have occurred. However, I would like to know what other people think. I would like to have a civilized discussion about this. I am making this thread under the idea that there might be someone who disagrees with any point of view I might have.

I really don't think there'll be a race war. There could be a class war though.

I imagine persons who are not happy with their economic class might foment disturbances or rebellion. There were explosions and disturbances in the 1960's. I don't know for sure if this will happen in the 2010's, but the attacks occurring are kind of disturbing in itself.
