I hear this spoken about by many people. What does it mean.
All black on one side, whites on the other, the just start shooting eachother?
Is the only races involved black/white?
What is the meaning of a race war? It is such a stupid comment.

It's nothing but rhetorical nonsense used by people who immediately become defensive whenever anyone tries to have a discussion about race. So to justify their fear, they have to create some phantom boogeyman to try to convince people that talking about race is a bad thing. Hence, the imaginary "race war." Stupid is a very mild (and kind) way to describe that phrase.

Probally pretty much like the Civil War was. The US government putting down an insurection of renegade white people over the status of minorities in America.The only diffrence is the renegade whites during the Civil War were funded by the most powerful and wealthy people in the world at that time. It was said that the slave barons held an 800 square mile area that was the largest concentration of wealth in the world.

You have to wonder: Do the mainstream media and Obama really want blacks in this country to riot and a race war. That’s certainly the impression people are getting from the coverage of the trial and its aftermath.

Too bad we can't show them the people have a mind of their own and show them there will be no violence.

Alveda King, the niece of civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr., had this to say about the efforts of the NAACP and other organizations: “We need to wonder why they’re doing that, what kind of checks and money they’re getting behind the scenes to stir us up into racial anarchy.

So we need to ask why they’re race baiting, because they are.”

The term has been around a while. It's been used by some pretty disparate groups. I have come to associate it with the neo nazi clowns, more than anyone, yet, it's starting to see a lot of use amongst black and hispanic militant groups, more and more now.

It IS a stupid concept. The main focus is Black/White, which begs the question: Where do Asians, Hispanics , and Indians fit in? The whole concept of it is unsupported by rational thought. Charles Manson was a big "race war" guy. Helter Skelter delved into that aspect of the Manson Family. The Tate/LaBianca murders were actually intended to spark a race war. Manson told his followers they were "gonna show Blacky how to do it".

So, yea, considering the types that have been the biggest proponents of this concept, "stupid" IS a kind term. But, stupid hurts.

Yes by disparate groups. There is Charles Manson and his followers serving life terms or now dead and there is the Black Panther Party, a black extremist organization. It advocated the use of violence and guerrilla tactics. The New Black Panthers say they delivered Obama and Holder into office

Who is always threatening to riot if it doesn't go their way?

Who threatened to riot if Obama wasn't re-elected?
Who threatened to riot after the GZ case?

Usually i agree with you, but i don't. But people don't have a mind of their own, it takes very little, for them to get stirred up. To be part of a bigger picture, that the media is portraying.

Do people not understand, as long as race is constanly in the news, in a negative, way, race relations will not get better. For gosh sakes we all know if the verdict had been different, there would be singing and dancing in the streets.

What about Niicole Simpson's family and how they felt after the jury spoken. Did not see people trying to get justice for them, did not see that family acting out inspite. And did not hear one word from Jackson or Sharpton, only how glad they were about that ignorant verdict. No one was in the streets, acting a fool. People with a brain in the head, were pissed, but left it at that. Don't remember hollywood celebrities, speaking out for Nicole.

No...nor did they speak out for Reginald Denny. His attack was caught on film, start to finish, as well as both suspects, proudly, confessed that they attacked him because he was white and he was there. Sacrificial lambs on the altar of race violence.
