Maybe, but that one fan felt quite comfortable in yelling racist epithets in a packed stadium. Being surrounded by a gang of like-minded comrades helps to embolden people in this way.
2.If white people don't understand that black people generally hate their guts, they are delusional.
I'm not sure how black people got into this matter, as nothing pertaining to black people was mentioned in the article. At any rate, count me as delusional then because I don't go around thinking that way....I take everyone as they come and try to get along with all.
To expect government or some kind of authority to back up a white male in an abusive or hate crime situation they are stupid.
Trying to work out your grammar here.....is it the government that's 'stupid' or someone who expects Government to uphold the law that's stupid?
I expect everyone to be treated equally and if they're not, in the USA we have a thing called the Bill of Rights that the Government is supposed to enforce. Granted, the enforcement of it isn't always perfect, but I would not go so far as to call the expectation of such enforcement as being "stupid".
But that's all irrelevant anyway because this event occurred in Australia.......
Because I know these things to be true, does that mean I have to hate them back? No.
That's good.
It does mean I need to take each man as a man but also understand that going down to South Oak Cliff may get me killed because I am white. A black man going into Highland Park will not.
I'm not sure where those areas are that you refer to, but it sounds to me like a very straightforward recognition of where the high crime areas are.......
I appreciate your remarks on my grammar. You must be very smart. I am referring to someone who thinks government would ever help them out. I apologize I didn't write clearly enough at 6:30 in the morning.
Just because you expect for Americans to be treated equally doesn't mean its going to happen and people would be wise to understand this. Famous people get special treatment, politicians and rich people get special treatment, even white people get special treatment in many cases when it comes to the judicial system.
Yes, South Oak Cliff has high crime, most of it black on black and due to gang violence and just general thug behavior. The fact that my skin color alone can cause me direct harm in these areas is my point.
I have gone to black schools where my safety was at stake daily and harassment was common even by teachers. My brother was bussed to inner city schools where adults held assemblies and openly mocked the white kids saying, " You're the minority now, how does it feel?" and the crowd would cheer.
I also have a good friend who was beaten very badly after the Rodney King ordeal but his black friend was beaten to death, at school.
I have had many trustworthy black friends, very trustworthy, from the 6th grade to the Army. If you are going into a predominately black neighborhood you better have them there to cover your back, and they will when 80% of the people are looking to kick your ass. that is why I don't say "all blacks are this way or that way" but I also don't hold to some phony ideal of what the world really is.
Finally, I don't hold a kinship to white people either, I would say I hold a kinship to Christian brothers and sisters of every color and I don't find racial epithets to be that offensive. The righteous indignation of hypocrites that think the use of a word gives someone the right to commit a crime against them does
