How do looters really view themselves?

Posted on 08/18/2014 7:51:52 AM PDT by MNDude

Time and time again, we seem to be presented with a complete disconnect with how violent black youths present themselves and what is real.

Trayvon Martin, we presented as a young moral boy who was afraid for his life while Michael Brown as a gentle giant--both with bright college futures ahead of them.

Regardless of what positive virtues they may have had, it's pretty clear that neither strived to be gentle or striving for educational excellence. It seems that both fully embraced the black violent gang culture and this culture embraced them back. If either of these two were anything like the images presented of them, I'm pretty sure they would be greatly rejected by their peers. It seems to be important for young black men to present the image of being as tough, anti-law, and as violent as possible. Yet, whenever there is a potential white vs. black incident, they wish everyone to believe the exact opposite. In fact, they are extremely offended if you do not believe that Trayvon was a weak and frightened child. They are angry if you do not believe Michael Brown was not a scholarly saint. They are filled with so much passion that at that moment, they themselves believe these presentations to be true!

So my question is how do the violent inner city youths really view themselves?

Do they simultaneously view themselves as violent tough gangstas and gentle doves?

How do they really want the rest of society to view them?

As kind and harmless citizens or a dangerous force to be reckoned with?

If it's so important to be viewed the way they present Trayvon and Michael, then why do they go out of their way to protest with violence?

Your thoughts?

Rioting blacks don’t need no introspection on their actions. It’s just a reason to loot and burn. It’s looting stuff that’s owed them ...

Inner city ghetto culture is a violent culture. They want to be perceived as the toughest mother fletchers out there. They are very simple minded in their fixations. In ghetto culture, the worst thing you can do is to “diss” or disrespect someone. Response to being dissed in ghetto culture means a response with violence.

So I don’t think these ghetto thugs have thought through, how will their looting and violence be perceived, and how does that view clash with how we want to show Trayvon and Michael as gentle caring young men. I don’t think they are doing such nuanced thinking of the situations.

How 'bout just viewing themselves as the redistributionists which their political leaders haven't gotten around to redistributing yet?

This is what “social justice” really looks like. Thank you Mr. Obama. Mr. Holder. Mr. Sharpton and all the other race baiters out there.

They view themselves as helping Obama redistribute Whitey’s wealth.

Thug culture. Its the natural consequence.

When you see the burnt out stores, you may begin dimly to understand that poverty doesn’t cause crime, crime guarantees and reinforces poverty.
