A disturbing conversation with one of my smartest, most astute friends who is from a border state but has been observing race relations for a long time now. He is white. He is definitely idiosyncratic. This, in paraphrase, is what he said:
“I keep reading in the newspapers and seeing in the mainstream media how angry blacks are at whites over the Trayvon Martin case, the Ferguson case and the Staten Island case. And what the media is missing is that as angry as the blacks are at the whites, that’s how angry many — not all — whites are at the blacks. Blacks ask for reparations for slavery and Jim Crow, as if paying today’s twenty-year-old crack addict had anything to do with his ten times removed grandfather being a slave or could make any difference at all to the soul of that slave.
“What I wonder is when white people are going to start asking black people for reparations for wrecking the public schools, for destroying urban life in many cities, for the insanely disproportionate share of armed robberies, homicides, and rapes they commit? When are black people going to pay reparations for putting the whole nation in fear?”
I heard this from a man about my age and I would chalk it up to one person’s oddness except that I hear words a bit like these constantly these days from white people.
Except during the era of school busing in the seventies, I have never heard or seen whites so angry at blacks. Al Sharpton has done what he set out to do and so has Eric Holder. They have fanned the flames of racial anger to a white hot pitch.

He said "white". Not allowed. Racist. Privileged.
for wrecking the public schools,
for destroying urban life in many cities,
for the insanely disproportionate share of armed robberies, homicides, and rapes they commit?
When are black people going to pay reparations
for putting the whole nation in fear?”
Broken up for MY viewing ease
EXCELLENT question
I expected Obama would be a rerun of the awful 70's, but now they are going all out to make it much, much worse.
Gestapo, anyone?
I am Ben Stein’s astute friend.

And that is not only true in the U.S.A. It is across the board, around the world, into every country/society where they have been allowed to emigrate, to say nothing of what is still happening in Africa.
HAH! I'm loving this.
Good for Ben.
Could be, but there are many millions that would nod their heads in agreement. It wasn’t just Olympic hopefuls and clay pigeon shooters who bought all those firearms the last seven or eight years.
Pray.
I think he makes a great suggestion and as a God knowing individual, I have spoken to God a lot about this. I used to pray to God as a child to fix race relations.
Unfortunate that their community organizers have to keep Blacks on the plantation otherwise Al Sharpton would have to get a real job.
But to pray for peaceful outcomes hang on be right back....LOL
But I think it is a good idea.
What Good Can a Handgun Do Against An Army?

I hope Ben has good security.
Sounds like “The Derb” (as in y shire)
He is.
I think Ben Stein’s astute friend lives in the border state of California. Maybe he is Ben Stein.
As an adult, I've been burned a number of times as a manager when I treated poor performing blacks the same as I treated poor performing whites.
And, in the last ten years I've been shocked to learn how widespread and deep is the hatred blacks have for whites. With all that hatred, sensitivity to any perceived slight and random acts of violence against whites, I now generally avoid any blacks that I don't know personally, not out of prejudice but as a matter of safety.
They want reparations.
Trust me, we’re paying.
There will be an E.O. for gun confiscation. That will be the first mission of Obola’s domestic army.
That only works if enough people fear and respect the State to follow their orders.
We are honestly past that. Which may be a very bad thing.
The State can no longer maintain order, and those in power have no wish to. People are viewing themselves as members of a different group rather than as Americans first.
In other words, we are unraveling.
I'm not sure how much good a handgun is against them.
Waco will be the model for how they go about it.
