Poll: Young people's fear of white extremism varies by race
AP ^ | Aug. 8, 2016 | MELINDA DESLATTE

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — The threat of violence by people inspired by foreign extremists invokes fear in a majority of young Americans across racial groups. But for young people of color, particularly African-Americans, that fear is matched or surpassed by worries about violence from white extremists.

A new GenForward poll of Americans age 18-30 shows widespread anxiety among young people about attacks from both inside and outside the United States.

Thank you for posting. Yes, it was Derbyshire’s article which I was thinking of . . . and little with which my experience can disagree.

A few years back their was a poll that asked Whites, Blacks and Hispanics which race they considered the most racist. In all 3 instances, Whites were considered least racist.

There have been at least a couple of years where it was infinity to one. There was not a single white on black rape reported. That’s very hard to swallow in a country of 360 million people.

“This guy evidently classifies any white person who believes in the 2nd Amendment, and is prepared to defend self, family, and property, as an “extremist”. “

Exactly.

And that’s exactly how he, and most others, been educated.

Go look at a Racism in America textbook. Regardless of year published, they all teach the same pattern:

Chapter 1: Here’ what white people think is racist: pictures of nazis, neo-nazis, Klansmen etc. etc.

Chapters 2-20: Here’s what racism REALLY is: chapter after chapter of everything and anything under the sun that African-Americans don’t like, or makes them uncomfortable. Replete with multi-color graphs.

So not understanding that the very presence of white people is racist, is the tip-off that one is an uneducated oaf.

The libtard definition would include anyone who drives around a black neighborhood whereas the more unbiased FBI definition includes only groups which would be kindred spirits to the KKK. The left constantly has to redefine double standards or they would have no standards at all.

Read “White Girl Bleeds A lot!” The black community is suffering the effects of their support & idolization of the thug sub-culture in their community! Because of this sub-culture white Americans are afraid of the American black community.

If the American black community’s rises up against the thug sub-culture they would not need to be afraid of white Americans & police.

Mr. Higgins needs to go hang out on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive in any city in America...oh let’s say at 11:00 p.m. on a Saturday night.

The over/under on him begging for some “white extremists” to show up is about 10 minutes, I’d say. One that dumb, it will take a full 10 minutes before they realize just how bad a situation they are in.

“But for young people of color, particularly African-Americans, that fear is matched or surpassed by worries about violence from white extremists.”

So the poll found that black people are suffering from mass delusions.

Don’t get behind the muslim in full hijab though. They’ll get waved right through, but you’ll get extra scrutiny so the TSA can prove how “fair” they are.

Great anti-PC article. I hadn’t read it, but I may forward it to some of my children. Most are pretty conservative, but lack discernment because of age and immaturity.

The difference between discernment and discrimination is one of the key battlegrounds that conservatives have abandoned. All it takes is the threat of being called racist and people crumble. I tend toward the opposite extreme once my Irish gets up, so that’s no better for teaching.

Of course they do. Obama OFA is leading a social media stream of fake racial threats and attacks to fuel this anxiety. It is one of the most blatantly corrupt, evil get out the vote propaganda campaigns in history. But because 0 has the right party label next to his name, our corrupt state directed media ignores what is going on.

“Once in awhile since, some of the 2500 to 3000 white supremacists* left in America get together and decide to co-opt the name, producing the typical rally of a handful of fake Klansman, a dozen times as many police and 100 or more counter protesters for every police.”

One thing you left out is that when the real white supremacists do stage “Klan rallies” it’s typically a shake down for a payoff. They know nobody wants that in their town, so they can either get a bribe under the table to stay away, or a nice judgement on a lawsuit if they are denied permits.

Back when we flew a lot, my wife seemed to be targeted every time. She's a nice lady who wouldn't harm a fly, typical middle aged looking matron type. One TSA agent finally confessed to her that there just weren't enough fliers fitting her profile and they had to get their numbers up. I kid you not.

Sadly, that sort of thing means that it makes absolutely no difference who you get behind. Now that we're grandparents, it happens a lot less.

The Westboro Baptist Church has probably taught them well.

Come to think of it, I haven't heard much about that freak show lately, have you?

I don’t have any idea of the specifics, but I would suspect that someone who wants to dig around at the DOJ website where Bill Whittle got those statistics would be able to tease that out.

As it is, rapes are bunched into the statistics posted with violent felony crime, so it might indeed break down that way. I have heard at least one expert say that white on black rape is nearly non-existent, low enough that it is lost in the statistical noise, but I can’t remember where I heard it.

Of course, white-on-black rape has been the subject of fiction in print and on screen at least once. John Grisham’s first book, “A Time To Kill” (1988), focused on a 12 year old black girl raped by several Southern rednecks in the 1980s. The film came out in 1996.

True...true. It happens, of that I am certain, but the relative incidence is very small.

LOL, typically, makes good fiction, though.
