Is A Race War Being Censored To Avoid White Backlash?
Investor's Business Daily ^ | May 14, 2012 | Thomas Sowell

Posted on 05/16/2012 10:02:20 AM PDT by QT3.14

When two white newspaper reporters for the Virginian-Pilot were driving through Norfolk, and were set upon and beaten by a mob of young blacks — beaten so badly that they had to take a week off from work — that might seem to have been news that should have been reported, at least by their own newspaper. But it wasn't.

Its not blacks who are deserving of a backlash. Its the democrats who have made many blacks the way they are who are deserving of a backlash.

Treated with true conservative equality, blacks will be fine and even thrive.

Answer: There will be no race war. Wars require at least two parties. Whites have shown themselves physiologically incapable of resisting blacks.

I was thinking the same thing, but you’ve said it much better. The idea that there will be a “white backlash” is the kind of liberal-progressive crap that presumes all white people are racist and all “minorities” are somehow oppressed. I agree with you - the real backlash will be those of us rising up to re-establish liberty in a limited constitutional republic. I welcome any free person of any race as my neighbor. However, when a gang of thugs of any race come to hurt me or kill me, I have the right to respond in an appropriate way, up to and including deadly force. In that regard, the whole Zimmerman trial will make this clear as day, as well as putting black thug culture on display. It won’t be pretty, but it will be too obvious to ignore. (And I noticed even the “Today” show showed Trayvon Martin as a late teen gangsta wannabe this morning.... hmmm.)

Nevertheless, some will have to be put down. They are feral. Most blacks, like most muslims, are kindly, warm, friendly people. That does absolutely nothing to change the fact that some aren’t and they need to be dealt with with an iron fist.

Is A Race War Being Censored ...
It's not a race war, i.e., blacks vs. whites. It's a war that's been perpetrated on all Americans by blacks for the last 40 years.
IIRC, blacks commit 80% of crimes against whites, and 95% of crimes against blacks. What's the cause?
It's the result of the 75% illegitimate birthrate and the "raising" of two or three generations of animals by welfare suckin', looking for LUV baby mamas and no fathers.
Thanks to LBJ, his (not so) Great Society, 40 years of liberalism and now, Holder and 0bama.

For some reason this reminds me of the U.S. Military. Why? Well I remember a conversation from many years ago, who with doesn’t matter. In any case this person made a statement about the cold war and the Russians in particular.

He said and I paraphrase here: The Russians aren’t really afraid of the American Military. They know that the leash they are on is a very short and very tight one. What they are TERRIFIED of is the thought that the leash will be slipped and the dogs of war will be allowed to go forth unfettered.

What he meant I believe is that as long as there are restraints of some kind the aggressors really have no fear of the ones, (Us, Americans or in this specific case Caucasian Americans) they are attacking. As soon as those restraints, (fear of the Law and/or other consequence), are gone all hell will be unleashed on those who were attacking and they may not survive that backlash.

There will be no “race war”. There may be prolonged instances of violent looting in our urban centers. The majority of those that will be injured or die will be a “protected class”. They will be injured and/or die at the hands of that same “protected class” persons.

The Marxist left (all DemoRats and MSM) want a nationally perceived White racist nation that is suffering righteous Black, Latino, poor, and Gay peaceful protest for equal rights over the deplorable conditions that the oppressed are living under. Vandalism and looting are justified as the righteous expression of anger from centuries of this oppression and police brutality, but a police response is oppression.

The way to get the useful idiots out to protest like this, on the run up to the November elections, is to falsify incidents of White racism in the press and cover up thruthful incidents of Black racist criminal (and gang) assaults and murders of innocent White victims. Then hobble the police to provoke incidents that will be portrayed as vicious, racist police brutality against peaceful protesters.

The entire MSM is agitprop, and nothing else.

The violence is fairly sure, even if the left has to false flag White racism and kill some of their own, blaming the police.

The question is whether the voters buy it. The dead ones will, and the wet ones will, but will that be enough?

They don’t have numbers for a war on whites; they are quickly losing the war against Hispanics, who make them more irrelevant every day in politics, the economy, the workplace, even prison.

How long before blacks in prison are basically made servants to the Hispanic gangs? Incidents like the 49 bodies without head, hands and feet, show that the hispanic gangs are not afraid of extreme violence. The black gangs are bad, but they haven't seen that level of violence and by a group that out numbers them.

It could get very ugly. You would think that blacks would be begging the Democrat part to put up a wall and crack down on illegal immigration from latin countries.

The prisons are often segregated; while individual blacks will complain about the open borders, their kings have decided to take their thirty pieces of silver and leave them hanging. The Hispanic birthrate, coupled with fresh daily infusions of more Aztecs and Incas across the southern border, had already made the black vote irrelevant by 2000. Bush knew it, and won twice because of that fact.

This same deceiving title was listed on Greta wire by a poster yesterday.

Of course it is not the title Thomas Sowell actually made.

It is about 2 white journalists beaten by a black mob and censored by their employer, a newspaper!

It was Not titled as above.

Someone should make them fix this.

What you’re saying is that it won’t be a two-sided race war until whites “get over” white guilt.

I’m not sure how close that “getting over it” point is,
but it’s closer than it’s been for quite a while.

I’ve seen this column titled in at least four different ways since it was published.
I don’t think it’s uncommon for titles to vary, depending on the source from which it is referenced.

Hmmmmm...yet if you were to follow the IBD article link, the title is set forth exactly that way.

For too many instances, the local papers that carry any number of wire service/syndicated columnists change the title in their locale. Even the FR moderators do not seem to be aware of this practice.

“White Guilt”? Perhaps, I’m personally not sure about that point. What I am sure about is that as long as one side obeys the “Rules/laws” and the other side feels that they have been given a pass or perhaps a “do anything you want Card” aka Race Card. Then the status quo will continue. But as soon as the side that has been obeying the rules/laws feels that those rules/laws no longer apply... Well then... A whole new paradigm has been formed.

On a related note, several years ago while waiting to get my hair cut I overheard two people discussing that if TSHTF then such and such was going to find himself feeding the aligators pretty damn quick.

I take that as a sign the civilization’s veneer is really quite thin and that it won’t take very much for the repressed inner barbarian to come roaring out swinging away.

“Treated with true conservative equality, blacks will be fine and even thrive” Ask the whites still alive in South Africa and Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) how well giving the Blacks equality has worked out. Read a bit about the Republican forced Reconstruction on the South post War between the States. True Conservatives have become Race Realist.

I’d guess that everyone on this forum is ready to defend themselves and family and loved ones, to the point of killing an aggressor, no matter the color. The key word here is “defend”. If there truly is a race war going on and I believe that has been the status for a long time now, You don’t win ball games or wars by playing defense all the time.

I’m not suggesting anything, only stating what should be obvious.

Is A Race War Being Censored To Avoid White Ballot Box Backlash?

You nailed it. Democrats are not energetic on cracking down on black crime, and the people know it. If they feel threatened by black-on-white crime, they will decide it's time to dump the Dems.

This is something that the black mayor of New York, David Dinkins, found out after the Crown Heights Riots. The Rodney King riots ended the 20-year reign of black LA Mayor Tom Bradley. More people finding out about Holder's Justice Dept's behavior will NOT help Obama.

The dichotomy is that one side has something to lose, and the other currently does not. If a middle class man shots somebody, he's in deep do-do, especially if it results in a criminal conviction. A convicted felon can pretty much forget about a professional career.

The tipping point will be when people perceive their families to be in sufficient danger that they stop caring.

That was my point, but in addition, I would like to add that conservative and normal Americans of any color, don't settle differences by riot, they do so at the ballot box and in the jury box, as enabled by a Republic, not a Democracy.

The left settles it's scores by riot and mob rule, calling it Democracy.

Yes, I agree that is one of the possible tipping points. I’m very sad to see the U.S. coming to this point once again. I believe we came close in the 1970’s. But now it appears that the flames are being stoked hotter and hotter by the Race-hustlers. And this time the media is complicit, I believe they see RATINGS and advertiser revenue sky-rocketing.

Unfortunately I don’t think they have bothered to see beyond that point. What they end up with may not be what they desired to have.

The main problem is the Elites don't seem to understand that what keeps the middle class from erupting is that the middle class doesn't want to take the step into open warfare, because once that threshold is crossed, there's no going back.

Put another way, there's a saying about capitol crimes: "The first one is expensive. All the rest are free."

At this year's fireworks display in Columbus, Ohio there were plenty of unprovoked black-on-white racial assaults that the police weren't prepared to handle. This wasn't reported by a writer for the Columbus Dispatch, but came in the form of any angry letter to the paper that was only published on July 7th:
During the 2012 Red, White & Boom celebration, there were dozens of police officers at the fireworks. Most of these officers were clumped in bunches near the Scioto River and simply watched the fireworks along with the hundreds of thousands of spectators.

After the show ended and people started walking back to their cars, things turned violent. A gang of approximately 30 black youths (both male and female) started walking and running down Broad Street and randomly assaulted white people — old people, children, women.

I was first aware of the violence in front of the church at the corner of Third and Broad streets. One block east of there, a man crossed the street through the traffic holding his crying son. They clearly had been assaulted. When others asked if they were OK, he said, “No, we're not OK; we got separated from my wife and daughter, and they're still over there.”

Finally, two Columbus officers were seen slowly walking toward the scene of this violence. At this point, the black youths crossed the street to the opposite side of the officers and started randomly attacking more white people on the north side of Broad Street. I know; I was assaulted by five different youths.

At this time, the police meandered to our side of the street. Some of us went to the officers and said, “Do something, innocent people are getting assaulted right here on Broad Street.” One officer replied, “We don't have enough officers.” After seeing the dozens of officers near the riverfront, I went home feeling this officer’s answer was a poor one.
