The Raging Fire of Racial Injustice
The Huffington Post's The Blog ^ | December 9, 2014 | Nick Desai

Posted on 12/09/2014 8:36:02 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

What the hell is happening in America? Are some people so threatened by the election of Barack Obama that it's open season on minorities? How did we come to this unequal and disturbing place where a white 18-year-old can carry a gun into a grocery store legally, yet an unarmed black teen is killed for being tall? Or wearing a hoodie? Or playing with a toy gun?

Many things have been said about Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, Michael Brown and so many others. They were using marijuana. They were selling illegal cigarettes. They were menacing. They robbed someone. And, the catch-all phrase "they are thugs." Let's say 100 percent of those things are true and accurate. None of those are capital offenses and we don't empower our citizenry or our police to enforce summary executions in some real life version of the Sylvester Stallone stinker Judge Dredd.

At the heart of the unending worldwide protests around the recent grand jury decisions is the dark reality that our justice system is fundamentally broken. Neither our justice system nor our society is color-blind or equality-minded. Grand juries are made up of citizens, as are juries. That justice wasn't served in New York, Ferguson or Florida is not at all surprising when you consider that 77 percent of whites in America thought Darren Wilson should not be indicted, while 54 percent of non-whites thought he should....

The truth is, the media and this Imperial Fascist regime WANT a raging fire - they want a race war, so as to empower government to do what it has already prepared to do.

We at one time would have called it genocide against those the ruling class have declared demons.

A short time ago we would have called it ‘ethnic cleansing’.

Today we call it ‘social justice’ and it will never end.

Not until those the state and their acolytes have determined must be punished are wiped out and made slaves.

Mark these words.

equality-minded

What does that mean?

That's the trump phrase they throw in that says, you people that have must pay for those who don't have.

I call B.S. on the whole article.

I'll take a stab and say that Salon is cleaning their clock on web hits, ergo they must descend (okay, a single step down in HuffPo's case) to unsupportable claims by racists, anarchists, and other spewers of agitprop to generate traffic.

Not capital offenses at all. That is why it didn't make any sense to resist arrest. By not resisting, they would have been out the next morning on their own recognizance. The cops were doing their jobs. The perps escalated it.

Well, I’m confused. If I dislike Obama’s white half as much as I do his black half, am I still a racist? Or am I more of a racist, because I don’t like the white half either.

This social justice stuff is hard to figure out.

Tell whoever typed in those words not to worry. Whites are being murdered by blacks at a rate of more than two-to-one -- it'll take a few decades but soon he'll have his perfect America. An America completely rid of whites -- er.. except the one who typed in those words if he's white of course.

It is long past the time when facts should be made public to expose the lies and misrepresentations of the Obama-Holder demagogues and the race-grievance industry.The Obama-Holder demagogues, the race-grievance industry, and most employees of the MSM have made this a racial issue. So let's see..

So adding up the blacks killed by whites (Col 1) and whites killed by blacks(col 2). Surprise.

I sense that either you are a white liberal full of guilt or a black that takes everything that is done by Obama as good!

Can you name anything good that comes from this Administration that was beneficial for blacks or even the middle class? I’ve seem many things that helped the upper class, especially the Stock Market owners but who else has benefited?

Blacks and actually most of middle America has lost jobs, lost wages, and lost hope for the future. Where do you fit into this glorious future? This is the current Democratic platform!

It has nothing to do with Omama’s half-color but it has everything to do with the Democratic Party and their laws and regulations passed along with their ideas about freedom and the direction of the country.

You need to get a better grip on your future if you are going to succeed (unless you are retired and don’t care). If you have children or grand-children, you should be more concerned!

I hope that you are not one of the young ones coming to age though as nothing good could come from your attitude.

Nicky, where’s your evidence that more blacks have been killed by police officers since Obama was elected? Or doesn’t it matter? Three examples picked out of the news feed are enough to prove a point, especially if the race hustlers and the obsequious media make it so.

How many police officers have been killed while protecting black neighborhoods?

The author tries to frame Obama’s election as the reason for white discontent; I would suggest that BLACKS are more unhappy with it at this point: They aren’t getting the free gasoline and mortgage payments they expected, and they’ve watched a “black” president push the agenda of wealthy white liberals.

Many blacks really believed their lots in life would improve with Obama’s election, and six years later they are noticeably worse off than before. I suspect in the minds of Michael Brown & Company, if things suck this badly under a black president then they have nothing at all to look forward to when a white person (from either party) is back in the White House.

Hmm, another temper tantrum from the left’s propaganda mouthpiece.

Oh well, it makes for good entertainment...if you can stomach the sheer naivete and stupidity on the site.
