That is good point, an important distinction that we need to make.
There are people who’ll read threads like this (including many right here on Free Republic) who view even the posting of threads like this as an incitement to race war.
It is a given (in my eyes) that those of us who discuss this type of issue, accept the premise (as silly as it is to even have to explicitly state it) that not all blacks participate in flash mobs that vandalize and commit specific black on white violence.
But accepting that premise should not stop us from observing (with an eye towards our own self-preservation) that the vast majority, if not 100% of the flash mobs of this nature that we have seen in this calendar year alone are exactly the type we’re discussing, black on white.
If we refuse to even discuss this, we will indeed find, to our chagrin, that we are in complete agreement with the despicable attorney general (Eric Holder) that we are a nation of cowards when it comes to race.
If there’s anything in my life that I fervently wish for at this time, is that I not find myself in agreement with that man and his associates on any subject whatsoever.
After rereading my post, I do need to post a clarification: I will readily concede that there may be some of these flash mobs by what appear to be black youths that could be aimed against black businesses.
I have not seen any, but I’m willing to keep open the likelihood that that could happen.
I am not, however, at this time prepared to concede the racial makeup and demographic cross-section of the current flash mobs that I’ve seen. That seems pretty cut and dried at this point.
