San Jose Mercury ^ | 07/08/2016 | Matthew Artz and Katy Murphy

In 68 hours this week, America changed.

The country, simmering under the heat of a chaotic presidential race and the tension of increasingly volatile race relations, is reeling after a sniper in Dallas struck down five white police officers and police in Louisiana and Minnesota killed two black men -- all in 68 hours.

"It was just a matter of time," said Harry Edwards, and African-American sociology professor emeritus at UC Berkeley and a well-known civil rights activist. "Anybody who thinks Dallas is the last incident of that kind doesn't understand how systems break down."


If you are declaring war Harry bring it on.

It’s amazing to see the leftists place more value on thugs/thug behavior, than on the lives of those trying to protect ALL lives...even the thug’s lives.

Low-retta Lynch’s statement on the Dallas killings/tragedy was appalling.

Dallas police officers were unprovokedly shot dead in cold blood by a sworn black racist.

If Harry Edwards thinks that kind of hatred is acceptable, our national racial divide will only grow and harden.

I don’t accept cop killers and their grievances.

Growing racial divide?

The only people I see making this divide are BLM-types and race-baiting agitators.

It is a growing divide because they are making this divide bigger and bigger, and then blame White People.

The media loves to swim in its created ocean of racial disharmony - this is how the media and the leftists assume power over gullible people: by playing on their feelings of guilt.

...and the tension of increasingly volatile race relations...

This is a clear indictment of the failure of Obama's leadership on this issue.

Obama continues to foster the deterioration of ethnic relations in this country along with his JUSTUS department.

Buy your own ammo replacing because you knw the first thing the thug administration will do is crackdown on ammo because he knows he can’t remove the guns. Get the gear and develop underground sources. You’re gonna need ‘em with the black ringmaster and his circus in town.

No, in the last 7 1/2 years, America has changed. That was Obama's goal from the day he decided to run for president. He has unrelentingly fueled the fires of racism, and now, after 7 1/2 years, that racial goading is finally paying off.

Expect more of the same with Hillary. Add to it not just racial tension, but gender tension, as she ramps up anti-man rhetoric and goes around screeching about how women are victims of just about everything. Expect men to get shot for holding doors for women and such. Expect the country to stop swirling around the drain and to just plunge down.

Buy your own ammo repacking gear and supplies because you know the first thing the thug administration will do is crackdown on ammo because he knows he can’t remove the guns. Get the gear and develop underground sources. You’re gonna need ‘em with the black ringmaster and his circus in town.

All I've ever seen is blacks waging a veritable war on whites and white society. I don't see it happening the other way around. Statistically it's been shown whites are far more often the victims of crimes by blacks than blacks are victims of crimes by whites but the liberal media keeps reinforcing the lie that white America is systemically racist and I'm beyond fed up with it. If homey wants a race war he's going to lose-- big time!

Total BS to compare five officers murdered by a sniper and a black man killed during police confrontation.

And "confrontation" is the key word here. If you can't interact with police for a few minutes and stay calm and reasonable and respectful, if for no other reason than self preservation, then maybe you're not ready to live in civilized society.

Okay, pal. You Leftists run EVERYTHING yet you still rage, bitch, whine, and complain. Every time we turn around Blacks rage, bitch, whine, and complain.

Tell you what. You all finish tearing down the greatest country that ever existed. Get it over with. Then let’s start the battle for who survives in the end.

C’mon. For the first time in your worthless lives, make something happen. We’re ready.

They will not lose a race war, Indeed many whites will die many willingly(Read what the white clown robbed and beaten in Washington D.C. wrote)

Blacks are being organized. It takes very few as long as they are highly organized and well led. For example Lenin conquered Russia with about 225,000 people out of a population of about 100,000,000. Soros, or someone like him, is probably providing the leadership people.

Whites at present are very very sick in a spiritual sense. (By spiritual I do not mean the "Old Time Religion.") Whites have no leadership and are disorganized. Most White's presently have no values beyond those of an animal; i.e. eating, drinking, drugging, copulating, evacuating the bowels and snoring. Sometimes whites can stir themselves enough to paint their faces and attend the "GAMES." Whites are under a constant bombardment of propaganda twenty-four/seven created and broadcast by members of another civilization. We whites are losing and shall die as a people.

The two shootings in Minnesota and Louisiana are far different from the shooting in Dallas... Those two police officers did not WANT to shoot the to black men, unlike the cowardly sniper in Dallas that wanted to and planned to kill those officers.
