? If the 4 white guys in a neighborhood in MS were there to protect their local voters from voter intimidation, that wouldnt be an unnatural thing.

Too bad those imaginary 4 white guys werent available for black-neighborhoods' polling places in Mississippi. But oh well. Maybe someday.

No actually, regardless of skin color, I'd say it's not against the law to stand there looking like an *hole.

Sorry, but you are the one who raised the scenario under the guise that black voters would be "intimidated" by that image. You also assume that your fake scenario would cause a riot. The reality is that (1) I believe skinheads are at their base level COWARDS who wouldn't go there in the first place and (2) black voters wouldn't be intimidated by 4 clowns w/a billy club, especially in their own neighborhood.

Bottom line: anyone (no matter the color) witnessing two thugs (no matter the color) with "a stick" out front would be concerned, if not alarmed. Get real. And do try to maintain some semblance of common sense. A sense of propriety, judgment and BASIC common sense seems to have left most at this point. Sadly, that includes the present Thug in Chief.

Sure I brought up the scenario,and you responded as expected.My point was and believe if this were to happen vice versa it would have caused a riot.I'm glad the gop voters did'nt stoop to that level and went about voting and handling this with dignity.

In the video, if it's the one with the white "reporters" questioning the black guys, at least one little old lady walked straight on in without breaking stride. She didnt seem concerned or alarmed by "witnessing" those "thugs."



Do you suffer from short-term memory loss? Try to cast back to the days surrounding the election. Do you remember the tension level, especially in black neighborhoods?

I mean...reading about it.

We can agree to disagree. Please know there is no desire on my part to respond to anything you post.

Great, glad to know that I responded as you expected - even though my response is the complete opposite of the one you raised.

And my point is that it wouldn't happen and if by some miracle it were to happen, the black voters would proceed on about their way and not be intimidated - just as the black and white voters did in the NBPP.
