This moron does realize that the Bandidos are a primarily Mexican MC, right? Of course he does. But apparently “Mexican” counts as “white” when necessary to serve the race-baiting narrative. Gee, it is almost like we have seen that before somewhere...

What this idiot fails to mention is that these white criminal gangs attacked each other.

If multiple black criminal gangs clashed, you can bet anyone in the area that is white would have been a target as well as members of the rival gangs.

That’s the difference these idiots don’t seem to understand every time they mention the 3 times that whites “rioted” in the past decade while downplaying the frequent flash mobs and riots by blacks that occur on a regular basis.

In practically every one of those black riots, there was one or more white people that were beaten up, robbed or killed. In every one of those “white” riots, like WTO in Seattle or the one in Denver...there were blacks in amongst the “rioters” and they were at no elevated personal risk due to their skin color. The inverse is never true. If there is a large group of black people intent on trouble, white people are at extreme peril.

“Malcolm X was different.”

Yes, he was a criminal psychopath.

This article is nonsense.

>>>Never do you find white people encouraging other whites to be nonviolent.<<<

Yes, I read through the entire article, but this quote from Malcolm X, apparently presented as axiomatic for people grouped by pigment, simply stunned me for its outrageous stupidity. Just off the top of my head, I’m thinking about the Quakers, the Amish, and the Mennonites, not to mention that “love thy neighbor” guy.

I keep forgetting, though, that I’m witnessing intense racism, which is based on feelings, bigotry, and stereotypes, so reason won’t sway the writer. Shocking realities indeed.

Yesterday would have been his 90th birthday. He was adopting conservative views towards the end of his life.

Wasn’t Malcolm X killed by black person?

And that in Waco, it’s looking like ALL the dead were killed by police, and that every single person present was arrested and is (AFAIK) each incarcerated pending a million-dollar bond. Police had arrive beforehand, in significant show of force, before anything bad was hinted at.

Treatment may arguably have been different, but in no way was “lenient”.

With white citizens, officers feel it is their duty to protect the unsafe and de-escalate the situation. With Black citizens, officers, acting out of their own fear, escalate conflicts, antagonize citizens, and move swiftly to the use of tanks, tear gas, and billy clubs to subdue, even lawful and peaceful protests.

Buttressing the writer's point are the bodies of dead black protestors on the streets of Baltimore while the police treated those white bikers down in Waco with kid gloves.

Rather like the whole George Zimmerman is a “white Hispanic” narrative. I guess they are only “brown people” or “people of color” when the Libs want them to be.

The thing that I notice about black racists is that while they seem to think that war on whites is justified, they seem surprised that whites would take notice and care about their own lives more than the feelings of aggrieved losers.

Just saying.

More than 165 people have been arrested for their participation in this thuggish, ruggish, deadly, violent, white-on-white street brawl but there has been no mass outcry from the country about this.

Why should there be a mass outcry once the thugs are arrested and the gunfight is over. There was a mass outcry over the Baltimore riots because the thugs were not prosecuted and the riots continued. There is a huge difference between the two situations, both of which were reprehensible. The fact that black activists didn't think there was anything wrong with looting and burning in Baltimore is part of the reason why there was such an outcry over those riots and the tepid police response.

What the ferals did in Baltimore was far FAR worse than what the biker gangs did in Waco.

Yet the response was correct and appropriate in Waco. But Baltimore? Nahh, they were given space to destroy. If justice was truly equal, the death toll in Baltimore would be in the hundreds.

But its been this way since the 1960’s. Negroes are a protected class. They are not subject to the rules that we Americans are subject to. The are entitled to the freebies and to welfare and are allowed to be the takers in our society, and to riot and loot at the whim of Obama, Holder, Sharpton and other vile evil bigots.

But what a price they pay! These people are now no longer even second class citizens. No, that ‘honor’ went to the Mexicans. Blacks today are held down in third place. All by design of Lyndon B. Johnson and his Great Society.

Yeah, not just by a black person, but by radical black muslims from his own (former) sect.

Malcolm X did not have any hope that white people could or would change when it came to race

(Pre)Judging an entire group of people based solely on skin tone. Whatta guy. Real hero. Proper visionary. They should do a hagiographic film about him.

It seems I've heard a term for this sort of generalization. Some sort of -ism. R-something. It'll come to me.....

You’re right.

Most people say good riddance to this biker trash.

Racists like this “professor” USE thug trash results to riot.
