If we as Conservatives dislike hyphenated Americans, why do we hyphenate criminals? Why are they not just “thugs†as opposed to the race baiting act of adding their race to the discussion or using a ridiculing pseudonym for that race? I was under the impression that conservatives judge individuals, not groups and that it is liberals who are obsessed with race.
It has been my experience that explicitly not mentioning the race (in these multiple events, young black, well dressed people) or religion (in the case of too many to count “Sudden Jihad Syndrome” events) is a liberal approach to issues.
There have been two incidents that I am aware of. Las Vegas now Manhattan. I have been hearing from other people that there have been multiple incidents of this type in their city/town, but never appeared on the news. This problem may be more widespread than is being reported, but I will stick to the two that I know of, and those have video associated with them that does not lie.
Just as one can be politically incorrect and say with a fairly high degree of accuracy (in reality) that not all muslims are terrorists, but an exceedingly high proportion of terrorists in the world are muslims, one can also say with a high degree of real accuracy that not all well-dressed young blacks participate in vandalizing flash-mobs, but that a high proportion of filmed vandalizing flash-mobs are composed of well dressed young black people.
I would maintain that multiple events on opposite side of the country that have the following characteristics in common ARE noteworthy:
1.) Large groups (called a “flash mob”) converged on an area to steal, coordinated by social media or cell phones.
2.) Mode of operation was the same: walk in as if there is nobody there and brazenly steal anything that can have hands laid on it, and walk out laughing as if there is no chance of being caught or prosecuted.
3.) All perpetrators seen in the video are well dressed, young, and black. 100%. Not 50%. Not 75%, but fully 100%.
In neither Las Vegas or now, Manhattan, does the composition of the surrounding neighborhood approach 100% black. But ALL the young, well dressed people in the videos at both locations are black. In the Las Vegas event, apparently it was just theft. This time, they began to vandalize the place.
I have five questions for you, LightningStriker2010:
1.) Is the completely homogenous composition (race, mode of operation and otherwise) of these two events thousands of miles apart in any way important, or is it just simply a coincidence?
2.) Does pointing out this fact imply that all young, well dressed black people participate in this type of crime?
3.) Are there multiple identical situations involving other categories of people (white, asian, etc) that are not making the news?
4.) Does pointing out this homogeneity (on the basis of solid video evidence) of mode of operation and racial makeup constitute racism?
5.) Why is the obvious point of the racial makeup being avoided so meticulously by all branches of the media?
I am not making these statements or asking these questions as part of an ad hominem attack on you, LightningStriker2010, I really do want to know your thoughts on these aspects.
