I wonder if Ben Stein's "astute friend" is Ben Stein.

They have fanned the flames of racial anger to a white hot pitch.

He said "white". Not allowed. Racist. Privileged.

“What I wonder is when white people are going to start asking black people for reparations

for wrecking the public schools,

for destroying urban life in many cities,

for the insanely disproportionate share of armed robberies, homicides, and rapes they commit?

When are black people going to pay reparations

for putting the whole nation in fear?”

Broken up for MY viewing ease

EXCELLENT question

Well, I'll admit I'm pissed. This feels exactly like the late 60's. Liberals are attacking the institutions that make us safe, the police, military, CIA. Then they support the lawbreakers. We have race riots once again and liberal whites pretending to be black. Given what's happening in New York, I fully expect it will return to the lawlessness of the Dinkins era. Chicago already seems to be there.

I expected Obama would be a rerun of the awful 70's, but now they are going all out to make it much, much worse.

It's all intended to cause race riots, the solution for which will be a national police force and suspension of habeas corpus.

Gestapo, anyone?

And that is not only true in the U.S.A. It is across the board, around the world, into every country/society where they have been allowed to emigrate, to say nothing of what is still happening in Africa.

HAH! I'm loving this.

Good for Ben.

Could be, but there are many millions that would nod their heads in agreement. It wasn’t just Olympic hopefuls and clay pigeon shooters who bought all those firearms the last seven or eight years.

Pray.

I think he makes a great suggestion and as a God knowing individual, I have spoken to God a lot about this. I used to pray to God as a child to fix race relations.

Unfortunate that their community organizers have to keep Blacks on the plantation otherwise Al Sharpton would have to get a real job.

But to pray for peaceful outcomes hang on be right back....LOL

But I think it is a good idea.

I grew up in the 60's and 70's, with the Civil Rights Act going on and I was raised by parents that totally embraced Martin Luther King's dream of judging people by their character and not skin color, so that has always been my worldview.

As an adult, I've been burned a number of times as a manager when I treated poor performing blacks the same as I treated poor performing whites.

And, in the last ten years I've been shocked to learn how widespread and deep is the hatred blacks have for whites. With all that hatred, sensitivity to any perceived slight and random acts of violence against whites, I now generally avoid any blacks that I don't know personally, not out of prejudice but as a matter of safety.

They want reparations.

Trust me, we’re paying.

Obama is the worse thing to happen to race relations in this country since Lester Maddox and Louise Day Hicks.

Careful here folks.

The culprit is not necessarily blacks, but is instead progressive leftists who hold power, and our liberal neighbors who suck up their venom and believe it.

Interesting how this part-time conservative believes his friends represent the national mood to the extent he hyperbolized.

The issue is Marxism and the Democrats that continue to vote for it.

And what the media is missing is that as angry as the blacks are at the whites, that’s how angry many — not all — whites are at the blacks.
++++
The media is missing that story but I’m not. I believe we are just getting started on a 2 year Final Act intended to get the minorities and the brainless libs in this country to the polls in huge numbers in order to elect Obama’s choice for the next President of the United States in 2016.

But I think Obama is making a huge mistake that will grow the Tea Party ranks and Republican ranks in general and, assuming we don’t nominate another Romney/McCain/Bush/Christy RINO, then the GOP should coast to the Presidency in the next election.

Of course that is a big IF. But the Obama Plan is working in our favor. Ted Cruz and the stronger Governors are going to get a lot more attention if Obama keeps it up. And I think he will.

His take on things is spot on. But sadly his hope for a “spiritual” solution is a forlorn hope.

They (you know who I mean) want to thoroughly Balkinize this country beyond repair. And I believe they have just about finished that job.

I have no desire to mix it up with anyone, hope it doesn’t come to that. But I’m flat fed up with being targeted by thug politicians, race hustlers and “black leaders” that are criminals in suits.

Beyond basic courtesy and humanity, I owe none of these people anything. Period.

Look at any Facebook thread having to do with the Ferguson case or illegal immigration, and you will see white anger...no, RAGE. The Internet is the only place where whites can vent their rage, and believe me, many of them are livid. Whether they will ever do anything but rant and rave online, I do not know. But I know whites are furious, and extremely fed up.
