That's the key right there. When you talk about those ignorant enough to take to the streets to grab any club-like object and attack anything that looks different, you're talking about a small group of people who get up around noon (no need for a job), anxiously await their "entitlements" (extorted from those who do work for a living), and as a corollary don't have the means or foresight to travel further than the two-block radius they spend their life in.

The breathless fears of some sort of race war in this country are silly. The bottom of the underclass in the US consists of a bunch of disorganized criminals whose greatest aspiration in life is buying shiny new sneakers, a 40 of malt liquor and some porn. They're not coming to your suburb to burn down your house nor are they even likely to come anywhere near the good parts of the cities. At most, they'll do what they've been doing for decades- wreck their own neighborhoods and brutalize their own people.

So we’re in agreement...except for that whole “good parts of the cities”.

You lost me there :-)

And that is my point also.

The motivation behind statements like is not race, it is ideology. If this happens, it will not be a race war, but a war of ideas.

There are just as many, if not more, hotheads who say the same thing who are not black.
