The Coming Race War Won’t Be About Race
Time Magazine ^ | 16 Aug 14 | Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

Ferguson is not just about systemic racism—it's about class warfare, and how America's poor are held back

ill the recent rioting in Ferguson, Missouri, be a tipping point in the struggle against racial injustice, or will it be a minor footnote in some future grad student’s thesis on Civil Unrest in the Early Twenty-First Century?

You probably have heard of the Kent State shootings: on May 4, 1970, the Ohio National Guard opened fire on student protesters at Kent State University. During those 13 seconds of gunfire, four students were killed and nine were wounded, one of whom was permanently paralyzed. The shock and outcry resulted in a nationwide strike of 4 million students that closed more than 450 campuses. Five days after the shooting, 100,000 protestors gathered in Washington, D.C. And the nation’s youth was energetically mobilized to end the Vietnam War, racism, sexism, and mindless faith in the political establishment.

This author will be singing a different tune if the “held-down” hordes came to his mansion to loot and pillage it.

“If people honestly and truly want the looting and violence to stop, send out a couple of sharpshooters.”

Sort of like the “In Broad Daylight” incident?

The coming race war is about the incredible momentum of stupidity and the cultural noise of militancy. It is also about the avoidance of irrelevance by aging race hustlers, and the ascendance of screwball hate mongers like Obama and Holder.

But all that aside, the coming race war is about the conflict between civilized society and culturally ruined savages. Families can live in peace and prosperity in a relatively secure and orderly society, or they can try to survive in fear and chaos, with no hope of being left alone by militants.

In other words, urban black culture wants to inflict itself on everyone without consequence.

It isn’t at all about race... it’s about culture, values and attitude.

Peace Frog

Snip..

Ghosts crowd the young child’s fragile eggshell mind

Blood in the streets in the town of New Haven
Blood stains the roofs and the palm trees of Venice
Blood in my love in the terrible summer
Bloody red sun of Phantastic L.A.

Blood screams her brain as they chop off her fingers
Blood will be born in the birth of a nation
Blood is the rose of mysterious union

There’s blood in the streets, it’s up to my ankles
Blood in the streets, it’s up to my knee
Blood in the streets in the town of Chicago
Blood on the rise, it’s following me

War is coming to urban areas, cities. That’s where blacks can go unopposed. But it won’t happen in suburban and rural areas. People won’t put up with it after a while. Sure, they’re getting away with it right now in Ferguson but eventually people will have had enough.

same answer I posted on another thread:

The article is wrong. America has gone too far on race. Affirmative action and 70+ welfare programs have given minorities a sense of entitlement. We have told them they do not need to work, they do not need to study, there there we will take care of you.

Stop.

Cut the umbilical cord. The best thing this country can do is to push people back out to the work force. No more preferential treatment. No more coddling in the schools.

and

You do the crime you do the time.

Maybe once they start taking care of themselves instead of expecting more and more from everybody else, they will EARN something to be proud of.

So, immediately stop giving away MY tax $$ (welfare) and give them YOUR $$, Kareem. Let ‘em loot YOUR mansion and businesses, Kareem.

Exactly. These rioters have no freaking idea what self pride and self responsibility are. It’s been taken away from them (thanks, LBJ!) and replaced with welfare. Sickening.

I never thought I would resign myself to the fact that I will start shooting people...but I have and I will.

Class warfare is a demon inspired, Marxist notion which justifies resentment and violence against those who produce by those who covet.

It’s an excuse to steal (by force) the fruit of another man’s labor, based upon superiority of need. But more than that, it paves the way for an unaccountable, mob rule which promotes the destruction of every Christian virtue. Easy to see why the devil would promote and empower such a system, and easy to see why his children would belong.
