PEORIA —

Sixty or more young people fought and yelled racist comments at residents as they walked down Thrush Avenue toward Sheridan Road on Friday night, according to eyewitness accounts.

“They were yelling ‘We’re gonna kill all the white people, this is our neighborhood,’” said Paul Wilkinson, 45, a resident who has lived in the neighborhood for 11 years and witnessed the incident about 11 p.m. He relayed the information over the weekend to police, city council members and at least one local blogger.

No doubt, they did not pass math. I wonder what influence black muslims stratight out of Africa and the Nation of Islam have had on this strategy of race violence. We know the radicals like Van Jones and Al Sharpton have been encouraging that when black are angry they “stop killing each other and burning down their neighborhoods” which not the same as telling blacks to get over anger and violence. That is a message to change the target.

Black Muslims have slaughtered masses of tribal enemies...in fact Obama’s Kenyan tribe slaughtered masses of Christians after Obama’s Uncle got elected, with Obama’s help.

I'm thinking the same thing. There's organization behind these "mobs". There's strategy.

They'll keep doing this until they provoke a violent white-on-black reaction. Then come the riots.

Van Jones said the riots would be directed at white people’s neighborhoods.

” National attention” my foot. Both Chicago papers spiked this story. Tomorrow's Chicago Tribune and Sun Times both lead with fawning coverage—complete with “scare the horses” photos—of the annual Sexual Deviant parade in which tens of thousands of perverts from throughout the midwest defile the streets of the city with displays of almost unimaginable vulgarity and poor taste.
And oh yes, the Tribune also prominently features a story of a soccer riot in far off Argentina. Of the riot in nearby Peoria, nothing. Without the internet, we would know virtually nothing of importance about was goes on in our country. The MSM is finished as a purveyor of news.

1) Someone in the “community” is “organizing” these thugs.
2) Confiscate their cell phones if they are caught and check their text and voice messages.
3) Pass a law that carries a mandatory jail sentence if a cell phone is used to coordinate these acts.
4) For the store “mob” robberies, equip the exit doors with a dye that doesn’t come off for days, no matter how hard they scrub. The kind banks use.
Make it White dye as that would be ironic and spray them with it as they leave, marking them and also ruining any clothing or other items they’ve stolen.
5) Ban these thugs from retail stores for a period of several years if convicted.
6) Before they change their tactics to home invasions, buy yourself a home-defense weapon if you don’t have one.
A Maverick 88, which is made by Mossberg and is basically a Mossberg 500 copy can be had for a little over $200.00, not including transfer fees.

“We are witnessing the end of racial civility”

That has always been little more than a facade.

Underneath, there has always been hostility.

For the past 40 years, essentially since the passage of the Civil Rights Act, we have been engaged in a kind of “Racial Cold War”.

That war looks like it’s about to get quite hot.

Obama may want “a racial conflict”, but he — and all blacks — are going to be VERY surprised at the results, if one breaks out....

Just sayin’....

I live within 15 minutes of the mob incident location.

Local news stations covered it tonight. The police parked a command post vehicle there tonight. Told residents to stay in there homes.

That’s what we’re coming too. Stay in your homes.

Yep. This is designed to escalate into violence.

Given to proximity to Chicago, the NOI is the most logical suspect.

How do you know that groups like acorn haven’t been teaching this new tactic after seeing it in action in the Mid-East? It seems quite plausible that they taught some of the agitators who then decided that they didn’t really like the script of socialist brotherhood as much as the idea of stick it to whitey & steal his stuff.

Did any of the residents get video of this event? That would go a long way toward forcing the city to doing something about it.

I only have historical references to offer, but in my family it wasn’t pretty. Frontier era in western NC, 1750’s, warring and raids by the Cherokee were common. But, intermarriage was not altogether uncommon, especially amongst the Scotch-Irish. My seventh great grandmother was Cherokee, her husband and my 7g grandfather Scotch-Irish, their son mixed. The Cherokee came and took her and her son, which was unusual. They usually killed the white settlers. Ugly as that sounds, it had an element of tit-for-tat, the French and Indian War was quite the tangle and blood was on the hands of both sides, as well as the English and Continental interests, which kept things in perpetual turmoil for any number of years.

But, to get back to what happened, My 7g went with the militia led by Hugh Waddell to try and retrieve them. They went up the Dan River toward the Cherokee town. He was killed. His wife was never heard from again. His son, my 6g was retrieved, now an orphan. He was bound out at the Court of Pleas and Quarters to Benjamin Merrell, later captain of the Regulators, who was himself killed, hung, drawn and quartered after the Battle of Alamance. They wanted to make an example of him. It was a rough, complicated time, some had to grow up well before their time, and saw things no child should ever see.

The peace was hard-won and there were still conflicts for close to a century after this being far from an unheard of situation. People who had both ancestries helped matters some, but had their own problems with being rejected by both sides as “other” and only had themselves, often living in isolation in the mountains, in their own enclaves. Mountain clannishness wasn’t always just a peculiarity of the people themselves, sometimes it was a necessity and ugliness ensued if you ever tried to break out of it.

It appears to me, that when you have a culture clash of that magnitude, they just have to fight it out eventually. That’s just my observation, but is by no means something I’d ever advocate.

Back to the modern era, there have been agitators on both sides, egging this on since before the Civil War. A major element of that era was the fear of an uprising like Haiti, which was and is a nightmare in and of itself. Those fears in turn provoked draconian behavior toward blacks, then the Civil War itself and more ugliness during the Reconstruction era, which provoked resentments that are nursed to this day. Lest you think it was entirely just a bunch of sore loser former Confederates taking it out on poor, defenseless black folks, realize that positions of power and influence were awarded to former slaves, that former Confederates were not able to vote for a number of years and so had no say in this governance, and that corruption and theft were the inevitable result. Sounds a little like what’s been developing over the past several decades, come to think of it.

Speaking of politics, the political element of all this cannot be overlooked. Those resentments were well-earned and were not misplaced, but they were seized upon by leftist agitators, yes, communists, even though concern over that reality has been so thoroughly stereotyped and tinfoiled that it’s difficult to make the claim and be taken seriously. These communist agitators jumped onto the backs of black people and rode their righteous anger into power over a period of decades. Now, it’s gotten to the point that we’re the ones with second class status, and we’re the majority. Weird, isn’t it? Equality has never been the objective, destruction of the political system has been, and whites have been the primary target because we created and supported that political system. Truth is, we’re all targets but some are more useful in helping bring it all down in the interim. There’s a shock in store for all the tinpot revolutionaries, I’ve got news for them. Any student of history knows this as well. But, for now, the illusion of gaining some upper hand within the existing system remains.

I don’t see an easy answer to all this. I’ve held out hope that our common Christianity would provide the means to heal the situation, but now we have another set of agitators introduced into the mix, radical Islamists, of the homegrown Nation of Islam variety as well as a more exotic and violent import, which would be comical if it weren’t so potentially bloody, since they were historically the big slavers in Africa and in fact are still enslaving black Christians in the Sudan.

Logic doesn’t enter into it. I just don’t know anymore. I’m afraid it’s beyond repair.

I feel like Charlie Chaplin in the Great Dictator, waking up to find my old neighborhood completely changed for the worse, with storm troopers and everyone afraid to go out of doors, only in my case I no longer live in America, so get no static myself. My heart goes out to you all. Don’t submit.

I doubt if your daughter-in-law and your grandson will be marching down the street yelling “kill all whiteys”.

How about I rephrase my statement to “..there is a militant black vs. ALL white folks war coming soon.”

Certainly you don’t think that our black FReeper friends will suddenly wage war against white people? I think you knew what I meant.
