A Very Scary Situation (race relations)
The American Spectator ^ | December 10, 2014 | Ben Stein

Posted on 12/10/2014 10:10:52 AM PST by reaganaut1

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.

If they tried to do a mass confiscation, they’d get one night, maybe a night and part of the next one,

before they started running into ambushes and counter-attacks.

That’s why I say, if you’re a target of the first wave - ESCAPE.
Meet them on YOUR terms instead of theirs.

I've been shocked to learn how widespread and deep is the hatred blacks have for whites.
You and me both. I just could not fathom where the hell it all came from until I learned of ... ... and the "gospel" of black liberation theology. UNBELIEVABLE.

I have noticed this too. Otherwise “liberal” sites are teeming with anger and rage.

I know all about what happened in the Warsaw ghettos.

The fascists aren't going to bother with ghettos this time. They are coming to kill outright. UN Agenda 21 commands them to do so.

The fascists won’t be herding us into ghettos this time. This time they’ll just be killing us from a distance.

Just read some of the earlier stuff from Obama’s political mentor, Bill Ayers, which is frighteningly close to the spew from Charles Manson. Obama is deliberately escalating this, just as described by Sheriff Clarke. Obama wants a race war so bad he can taste it.

They won’t DO anything... unless a certain situation develops.

It’s been stated here.

“Riot” all you want in your own neighborhoods.
Don’t dare venture into ours.

Ben Stein's NOT a coward - if these were his comments he would take credit for them. I hear the same thing too... in a much more subtle fashion, But it's there where it wasn't before.

After living in Europe, I see that a white person cannot live a civilized, urban life in America and that is entirely due to the presence of blacks. You must live away from the major cities, which have been destroyed by blacks. You must live in a single-family detached home away from the black population. You are called a racist for realizing that groups of blacks are dangerous and must be watched. You must avoid public transportation because blacks may attack you.

Then you are blamed because blacks - who are less intelligent - are given preferences in education over white or asian children who merit the 'seats'. You are supposedly 'privileged' or somesuch due to the fact that you worked hard to achieve something and have a higher IQ.

I am sick of it.
When the shooting starts, it's going to be hard to stop.

The KKK will never rise up again. The KKK was horrible democrats... those democrats used the same tactics against blacks that they’ve attempted to use against conservatives. We know they’re game... and we’ll never play it.

The Revolutionary Communist Party USA and their “Useful Idiot,” Barack Hussein Obama, believe a diverse population can be manipulated and used to fundamentally change/destroy this country, and they just might be right. One look at world history will show you that no country with a diverse population of different races, languages, and religion has long survived.

Countries don’t naturally form with diverse populations, and when in the past they’ve occurred it’s usually been as a result of armed conquest. These unnaturally formed countries have either melded together into a single population made up of one mixed race with one language and one religion or they’ve come apart, and they’ve usually come apart with extreme violence. The longer these diverse populations are forced to coexist with one another without mixing and becoming one, the more the hatred grows among them and the more violently they break apart, but break apart they will, or genocide will settle the issue once and for all.

Why is this and why can’t we all just get along? The truth of the matter is that we (the human race) just aren’t as civilized as we would like to think we are. Our species, Homo-sapiens-sapiens, isn’t that long “out of the trees” and the veneer of civilization is very thin, to non-existent, upon us all. We’re all carrying the genes that got us here and some of those genes carry a very basic survival instinct that has allowed us to survive thus far.

This most basic of all survival instincts is self-preservation and it’s the one that warns us to be very wary of those who are different than us, our family, and our tribe. Those who possessed this survival instinct survived and reproduced, and those who had no fear/distrust of strangers didn’t survive. Over the years, this survival instinct has been referred to as tribalism, nationalism, ethnocentrism, racism, and various other isms, but it’s an inborn instinct carried in our genes whether we like it or not.

The current “celebration” of diversity and multiculturalism in the American population was introduced in the 1960s and 70s as a deliberate divisive revolutionary tool wielded by Marxists like Saul Alinsky, Bill Ayers, Richard Cloward, Francis Piven and other radicals. It became dogma taught by Marxists in our universities, then spread by our leftist controlled news media and leftist controlled Hollywood. The intent was, and is, to split American culture along race and class lines and set off a “proletarian” revolution to destroy capitalism. The Left has now managed to elect a half-Black radical as President and their revolution is proceeding along very predictable lines, with him using every opportunity to stir up more division and discontent. A reading of the Constitution of the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA at this link should make clear their goals and methods: http://revcom.us/Constitution/constitution.html

At the beginning of the 21st Century, the American people are about to learn the savage lesson of Communist Revolution the Russian people learned at the beginning of the last century. Millions died in Russia’s Communist “experiment” before they learned Communism just doesn’t work, as the concept of Communism (“You didn’t build that”) is completely alien to basic human nature. Now it’s our turn to learn what Russia after a century of death and misery now knows.

However, the coming American Communist Revolution that Karl Marx and his acolyte Barack Hussein Obama is bringing upon us won’t progress in the comparatively orderly fashion as it did with the Bolsheviks in Russia. The cursed diversity within the U.S. population will quickly turn this Communist Revolution into a no-holds-barred, and to-the-death, Race War. How our country with its Constitution intact could possibly survive such a blood-bath is a near impossibility. It once appeared as if our country might one day become a mixed race people of olive skinned, brown eyed, black haired, Spanish speaking Muslims, but Barack Hussein Obama has started a Communist Revolution that will undoubtedly destroy any possibility of that ever occurring.

There is no expiration date on any of our survival instincts, and white Liberal Democrats in their “Gun Free” zones will be the first among us to be reminded of this at the very beginning of our coming Communist Revolution turned Race War, as the American experiment in Democracy joins all previous Democracies in the dust-bin of history.

Our military in Iraq eventually had rules of no stopping put in place to prevent an ambush when parents sent their kids into the streets.

Will our citizenry be given new rules of engagement or will we have to call in for permission to defend ourselves and our loved ones, Gen Petraeus?

Unfortunate...but real life.

Obama has set back race relations 50 years..............

I personally hope that hangs around his neck forever...But I'm realistic...the LSM will cover for him.

Why do you think all those MRAPS have been staged with police departments throughout the country?

I'm not sure how much good a handgun is against them.

Oh, so the cops live in them? They eat and sleep in those vehicles? Or do they also have homes where their vulnerable families live?

When they come to your house, they will throw flash bangs right into your babies' cribs.

So if the citizens, instead adopted a 'fabian' strategy of waiting until the 'crab' had to come out of its 'shell', an MRAP is nothing.

Besides, those MRAPs are all parked somewhere and very vulnerable at all times. They are flammable. They are not enough.

Why do we think that because the enemy calls us onto the battlefield, we must confront them there? Why must we wait for them to kick our doors in? We can kick in doors too if it comes to that, no?

What is happening...

8 Then the word of the Lord came to Zechariah saying, 9 “Thus has the Lord of hosts said, ‘Dispense true justice and practice kindness and compassion each to his brother; 10 and do not oppress the widow or the orphan, the stranger or the poor; and do not devise evil in your hearts against one another.’

11 But they refused to pay attention and turned a stubborn shoulder and stopped their ears from hearing. 12 They made their hearts like flint so that they could not hear the law and the words which the Lord of hosts had sent by His Spirit through the former prophets; therefore great wrath came from the Lord of hosts.

13 And just as He called and they would not listen, so they called and I would not listen,” says the Lord of hosts; 14 “but I scattered them with a storm wind among all the nations whom they have not known. Thus the land is desolated behind them so that no one went back and forth, for they made the pleasant land desolate.”

Hearts of stone and deaf ears.
