I also would like to state....

Since 2008 when voters elected or selected BHO as POTUS everything is RACE related..obama uses race for everything..he does not lead he vacations, golfs, and parties, and campaign’s, now he is touring on a bus he dug out of hiding and thinks that will help his numbers...

sorry Mr. president, you have failed in your job, and you need to step aside..this country is dying...jobs, food, gas, housing,security, EVERYTHING.
I’m a daughter of a Veteran, sister of a Veteran, and wife of a Veteran and you have destroyed our once great Military that we Americans have depended on to keeping this Nation secure...I am ashamed of what you as a leader have done...and NOT BECAUSE OF YOUR COLOR..for one half of you is White and the other Black...it matters not...

HE IS A FAILURE AND SHOULD STEP ASIDE...JMHO.

Black on white violence goes back a long way in Oklahoma. Hundreds were killed during the 1921 race riots in Tulsa fueled by J.B. Stradford, a black radical who learned his anti-white bigotry while in Canada. The trigger for the May 1921 spree of murder and destruction was an assault on a white 17-year orphan, Sarah Page, by a thug, "Diamond Dick" Rowland.

A swarm of well-armed black thugs stormed central Tulsa and shot a white onlooker. That touched off days of bedlam. Even black apologist W.E.B. DuBois (a communist activist and co-founder of the NAACP) admitted that it was blacks from the Greenwood neighborhood that began the riot. Mr. Beyrl Ford, noted Tulsa historian, has shattered the liberal-produced myths, embraced by blacks, about the rioting and the reaction. One debunked claim was that airplanes of that era dropped "bombs" on a black neighborhood in north Tulsa. That never happened. The planes were simply observational to determine the extent of the damage.

At the time of the riot, Republican T. D. Evans was the city's mayor and, of course, Warren Harding was President. So even with good governance at the time, well, thugs will be thugs, going back to the first quarter of the 20th Century.

2 was mixed (mom was white).
3's either white or mostly white mixed (dad was white).
All are trash.

Yes. I have seen statistics from before the civil rights era, which showed that even in that day, when black families were still more or less intact, that blacks still had higher crime rates proportionate to their population, compared to the general population, and higher rates of illegitimacy. LBJ’s “Great Society” programs merely threw gas on the fire.

I have seen some signs of people leaving the Dem party over Zimmerman. They saw the huge lies that were being told and realized who was telling them. This case and the many others like them may further that trend. Layer that on top of the many Obama scandals and poor economic performance, and I think we may look good in 2014 and 2016.

I think that more people than we know, know the truth, it's just that the heavy hand of government and societal sanctions will come down on their heads like a ton of bricks if they admit to it publicly. The Soviet Union used the threat of the gulags, the US uses the threat of loss of job, loss of reputation, and social ostracisation. Just ask Richwine, Derbyshire, Rushton, et al, and all they did was to cite statistics-known in this leftist ruled society as “hate facts”.

Of course, considering the constant barrage of propaganda and the conspiracy of silence as regards the truth, it's no wonder that most people really have internalised the propaganda. Public schools are the most effective means of instilling the lies while people are young and at their most susceptible. The universities reinforce it three-fold. Who would ever have thought that students would be graded on their opinions, even if backed by statistics, when all else in their work is correct?

“The world turn’d upside-down”-when blacks claim to owe “retribution” to random whites in retaliation for one man who defended himself the only way he could against a black thug trying to beat him to death.

Forget the genetics. I don’t think it can be questioned that all three are 100% the output of the black ghetto thug subculture.

Is race a big factor here in this recent murder?

Sure it was a factor. They shot him because he was a white guy.

It's known as “negro fatigue”. And yes, many are exhausted. Living a lie and being forced to constantly choke back the truth will do that to people. The humiliation of knowing your government is lying to you and forcing you to conspire in the lies undermines people's self-respect, humiliates them, and grinds them down into acquiescence. The Soviet Union were masters of this technique, but the US under the thumb of the left has learned the tactic well (culturally and politically, no matter which team is currently in power. The left and its cultural Marxists began it, but the “respectable right” has fallen right into line as the left has taken over American institutions, and the power to make or break people).

That is why the “new media” is so very important. It is there to stand up to the truth and do the needed peaceful “blowback.”

I have noticed conservative talkradio in the last few days broken that wall down, which is good.

More though I sense that what you have said that the USA uses is simply nothing more than “just talk”, they do not mean what they say.

The good news is that the internet has done a good job producing sites which more and more the truth is getting out.
