So, anyone who denies there is a race war ongoing, or racial conflagration if you prefer, is merely trying to solve the problem by denying it exists.

So what is the response supposed to be? Answering hatred with hatred? Bigotry with bigotry?

Hating or even blaming those who aren't engaging in racially-motivated attacks—simply because they share the same skin color with those who are—is neither constructive nor legitimate. Doesn't that sound like the same thing that racist Black thugs are doing? I don't buy into the "we must become the enemy we hate" line of reasoning.

Look at some other Blacks, like Tommy Sotomayor. There are many in the Black community who feel the same way he does, but are afraid to speak out—and for good reason.

How about instead we hold individuals responsible for their actions, instead of painting with such a broad brush—just like some of us accuse them of doing?

Nobody—certainly not me—is saying that singing kumbaya is any solution. Establishing Equal Justice is one solution, and that includes holding, for instance, police responsible when they are guilty of murder, abuse and brutality—instead of almost always getting away with it.

It's important to admit that this problem is multifaceted—for instance acknowledging the horrible ramifications of young men growing up without fathers, and facing the fact that there is rampant racism being nurtured in the Black community. Indeed, at this point, there's probably significantly more of it than there is in the White community. It should also at the same time be acknowledged that there are historical reasons for this—even if citing those historical reasons as an excuse for violence and crime is never legitimate.

My main thought in all of this is that we must address these problems as Americans by uniting together to solve them—not by Balkanizing, which will only make things worse. It's not "us versus them". Racism is an Enemy that slithers its way through both camps, to varying degrees. We mustn't each exist on mutually exclusive islands—we must find common ground on which to wage this fight and address its root causes.

Therefore, whether one believes that there is a "race war" or not, it does not follow that escalating that alleged war is any way to fight it—much less "win" it. Anyone that takes that route is going to find themselves repudiated by post-racial America—which is where the vast majority of the People already live—regardless of which "side" they imagine themselves to be on.

Encouraging a "race war" mentality is unquestionably a tool designed to keep the People from turning their attention to the real Enemy: those who seek to destroy our Republic by undermining all aspects of its rich and vibrant culture—whether White, Black, Latino, or any other...

Recognizing that a race war exists is not the same as fomenting one. I didn't see anyone on here advocating hating all black people. You are imagining things and, quite frankly, you are showing classic signs of the anti-white brainwashing that has been going on for decades now. Your brain is struggling to find a justification for remaining passive and submissive while someone else beats you (and I mean you in the metaphorical sense).

If we see clear evidence that there is a strong strain of anti-white racism that exists in the black American community (and a lot of other communities quite frankly) and that anti-white racism is manifesting itself in horrendous acts of murder, rape and theft against white people specifically because they are white, then recognizing that fact does not equate to "Hating or even blaming those who aren't engaging in racially-motivated attacks—simply because they share the same skin color ". It is simply a recognition of an ongoing phenomenon in order to resolve the issue. We cannot even discuss this issue rationally without recognizing the racial component of it.

In fact, your reaction is identical to that of the Left in their efforts to protect the muslims. A muslim shoots up a bar screaming "Allah Akbar" and the first reaction of every leftwinger is to bemoan the rise of "islamaphobia" and cry about "racist backlash" if one person even makes a peep about islam being a problem. It is a brainwashing technique used to keep people passive while they are being conquered and enslaved.
