Quote: Flash Mobs in Philadelphia: Sorry PC America, They are a Racial Thing By Erik Uliasz at 12:50 pm on Saturday August 13, 2011 For almost a year, police departments in several cities around the country, most noticeably in Baltimore, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, and Chicago( NOT mentioned are similar attacks in Atlanta, Peoria may more cities.. ) , are investigating "flash mob"-generated violence, in which packs of dozens or even hundreds of youths, organized through social media sites, appear seemingly out of nowhere to commit assaults, robberies, and other crimes against innocent bystanders. But here is the dirty little secret that PC media has been tiptoeing around all summer—the perpetrators are African-American and the victims are mostly white. A Color-Blind Media Here are two good examples of media outlets failing to identify the ethnicity of the attackers: The Philadelphia Inquirer, which did not identify the race of the attackers (they were called “unruly teens”) or victims in stories, quoted one of the victims in Center City, Jeremy Schenkel. A “shirtless kid punched him in the head,” the paper reported. “Schenkel fell against a car, then to the ground. His glasses flew off, cracked. He tried to shield himself.” After weeks as failing to report the race of the assailants in several Chicago flash mobs, a Chicago Tribune writer named Mary Schmick attempted to justify her paper’s conduct, and was spectacularly unconvincing, finally admitting the obvious, “So, yes, the attackers were black. We notice. But how to measure the relevance of the fact?" http://www.philly2philly.com/politics_community/politics_community_articles/2011/8/13/47591/flash_mobs_philadelphia_sorry_pc_amer

Quote:Originally posted by Niki2: Oh, Anthony, you silly man! You DO realize you're asking actual, real QUESTIONS of Rap and Wulf. You might want to see to that . It's VITALLY important to them that they're Black (or Muslim; anything else they'd probably ignore). You want the real bottom line? They're both SCARED TO DEATH of "others", and Muslims are the most recent "others", while Blacks have LONG been the "others". That's it, pure and simple. Fear is behind all hatred, it's a psychological fact. I'll be interested to see how they respond (if they bother). No, they WILL bother, because as important as it is to them that the flash mobs are Black, it is equally important to TALK ABOUT IT. There's no way they'd not follow the urge to rant further.

Quote:Originally posted by AnthonyT: Hello, Like Wulf, Raptor, you seem to be intent on the race of the participants. I am at a loss as to how it is important. How is the experience changed? What is special about a 'Black' flash mob over any mob of people anywhere? What special tactics will uniquely work because of race? How is race pivotal in creating a solution? --Anthony

It does not matter what the race is of the person or the mob, if you are the target of a mob attack your best bet is to exit the area as quickly as possible or, if unable to get away, fight for your life. A third option is to suffer the violence and pray they don't kill you or leave you crippled. H "Hero. I have come to respect you." "I am forced to agree with Hero here."- Chrisisall, 2009.

Quote:Originally posted by Niki2: Thanx, NewOld...when I heard about it, it seemed to indicate most of them were white. Ah, well, changes nothing really. Those were 'novel' at the time, and now they're but a distant memory. So "novel" doesn't mean anything, and it's not important really. A mob is a mob is a mob, and if it is violent, ways need to be found to stop it. Black, white, green, purple; it's only our terrified righties who find it soooo important what color their skin is. True RWAs our guys, scared of every shadow, seeing apocalypse around every corner. I take pleasure in their fear, it shows them for what they are.

Quote:These kinds of activities are all carried out by poor, angry, desperate people who have disconnected from society because they feel that society has disconnected from them. There's no color-coded technique for solving that problem. It's a people problem. If we reduce the amount of poor, angry, desperate people in our neighborhoods, we will consequently reduce the amount of thieves, thugs, and vandals in the world.

Quote:s so funny that they've been crowing "We're gonna take up arms and GIT all you liberals and socialists!" all this time, then have them reverse themselves when (omigawd) it's OTHERS who are acting out. Ah, the irony of it all...
