"Democracy Now" should be called "Communism Now".

Have no problem with their investigative journalism, but anyone paying attention understands the Goodman/DN agenda is to 'prove' America (and Israel) are evil, prejudiced lands.

Sometimes they're right...the other 99.99% of the time they're full of the warm brown.

Sorry about the entire South not being a paradise like Detroit.

And what's with using "White" to describe one side and "African-American" to describe another? That's just embarrassing.

Qm, are you a fake ?
An online Colbert ? An impostor ?
I sometimes wonder.

i'd like to think people would stick together in a crisis ;-/ apparently not.

Hell, in a situation like that i'd like to have black people in my group even if just to put a friendly face forward to talk to people we meet ;-/

Part 2 of the DN video ... I thought a corpse rotting in the street for two weeks, ignored by all authorities, was bad enough, but the story about Henry Glover (sp?), if true, is just fucked up.

quantumushroom I think you're confusing your own bias with feeling Democracy Now being evil and inept.

this is going to #1

Invocations (promote) cannot be called by turboj0e because turboj0e is not privileged - sorry.

wtf i have power points

Wow. *crazy *hicks

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

great, important post.

I love being lumped in with sick, ignorant fucks like this.

Don't call me white. Isn't that how the song goes?

Most normal people don't care about race. When you get to really know a person... That's when you find out what kind of asshole they really are.

shiiit. My blood ran cold in the first minute of that video. Never heard about this...
What's the literal meaning of that euphemism? Earning their wings... They think they will go to heaven for shooting black people?

Qm, are you a fake ?

No, what you're experiencing is called, "A difference of opinion." It happens when someone taps on the glass outside the liberal thought-prism created by mainstream media, Hollywood garbage and government schools. Please do not be alarmed. This is normal for internets.

quantumushroom I think you're confusing your own bias with feeling Democracy Now being evil and inept.

These leftists are personally harmless people who support proven-failed and dangerous ideas. Communism is evil, unless you think 100 million killed worldwide is a small price to pay for a utopia that will never arrive.

If you think these folks don't have an agenda, it's because you agree with it. I know the Cato Institute is biased towards free market capitalism and Constitutional Law. They don't pretend to be objective or journalists, while Goodman and Company pretend both.

-----------

A little perspective goes a long way in shattering the negative atmosphere these professional race-baiting "revolutionaries" try to create.

There's a cable show called Crime 360. Nine out of ten episodes feature murdered Black victims and their Black killers. The featured victims are decent individuals in the wrong place at the wrong time. The scum that killed them have to be seen to be believed. Killing a human to them is like swatting a fly, in order to rob the victim(s) of less than $20 or a gold chain.

I see no reason to be especially appalled because the victims here were Black and the alleged shooters were White, especially against an anarchic backdrop like Katrina (the racist storm Bush and other White Men somehow created).

It happens when someone taps on the glass outside the liberal thought-prism created by mainstream media, Hollywood garbage and government schools.

So outside of news, fiction, and school (government school? is that like public school?) what is there? Faux News, propaganda, and Christian school? Reality has a liberal bias.

But black on black crime is no joke, consider these statistics, from infoplease.com and Wikipedia.

5 Safest Cities:
Ramapo, NY                 72.54% white / 17.04% black
Mission Viegjo, CA       83.15% white / 1.15% black
O'fallon, Mo                 95.32% white / 2.24% black
Newton, MA                88.07% white / 1.97% black
Brick, NJ                      95.81% white / 0.99% black

5 Most Dangerous Cities:
New Orleans, LA        67.25% black / 28.05% white
Camden, NJ                53.35% black / 16.84% white
Detroit, MI                  81.6% black / 12.3% white
St. Louis, MO              51.2% black / 43.85% white
Oakland, CA              35.66% black / 23.52% white

Coincidence? I don't think so.

If those cities are anything like Algiers Point, where white people are not even investigated, let alone arrested and prosecuted, for murder, I can see why those cities are "safe", meaning no arrests for violent crime.

My faith in humanity is waning.

QM: instead of piling onto the rants against you, I'll just say that you are fucking out of your head. That about sums it up. No need to actually attempt to respond to your vagaries about 'agendas' and 'prisms' and other non-debatable crazy talk. Any group of people who target another group for murder is worth knowing about, regardless of their political leanings.

I think you are lacking quite a few variables in determining whether or not its a coincidence. Crime is more a product of poverty than it is race, and this bit of "facting" only perpetuates the fallacy that the color of a persons skin should a determining factor in how dangerous you think they are. Racism isn't the issue here, its ignorance on a whole.

Citing black on black crime when the report is about whites shooting innocent black people. I see no link.

/STAY CLASSY

I gotta be honest, when I saw the title to this video I thought it was about southerners and chicken wings.

QM: instead of piling onto the rants against you, I'll just say that you are fucking out of your head.

And why not? It's easier than forming a cogent argument.

Any group of people who target another group for murder is worth knowing about, regardless of their political leanings.

That's true. Unfortunately, the 100 million murdered by comunism worldwide aren't "newsworthy" to Goodman. She's a bad joke, not a journalist.

So outside of news, fiction, and school (government school? is that like public school?) what is there? Faux News, propaganda, and Christian school? Reality has a liberal bias.

Yeah, I keep hearing that reality has a liberal bias, yet I've never seen so much propaganda, lies and misinformation helping "the obvious" liberal reality cross the fking street.

Public schools are government schools. You've been enjoying "quality" objective education from pro-government, majority victicrat, unionized employees who can't be fired, and therefore don't have to do much to earn a paycheck besides show up.

Fox News (Faux? how clever!) has been around since 1996. What shite were the Big 3 and CNN broadcasting before then?

QM: I'm not sure why this is a political debate. Yea, public schools are government entities and yes, the things we learn have a decidedly pro-US government slant.

Groups of white vigilantes target and murder blacks who are wandering too close to their 'hood. Further, nobody (law enforcement agencies) is taking responsibility for that. It would be equally disturbing to me if groups of blacks were singling out whites for murder in a similar fashion. That has nothing to do with any of this other Chomsky shit you're trying to sell.

qm:
I'm not IN that prism, but I know of it.
It's right next to the conservative thought-prism created by mainstream media, Hollywood garbage and government schools.
I'm in the other room, the one way way down to the left.
Last time I checked though, seemed like one was winning with floydian splendor and the other dim and dying.

//analogies are fun

Has anyone here ever considered that News itself is virtually useless (and often worse than useless) in nearly every case, regardless the source?

WHY do you want to know about some event in some other part of the world, or another part of the country, or another part of the state, or another part of your city, or another part of your neighborhood, or even in another part of your own freaking house? Seriously. Consider that question. What is the PURPOSE of acquiring that information? What are you going to DO ABOUT IT? In 99.99% of the cases, when someone watches news, it's for entertainment purposes.

Try this: Next time you watch the news, and hear about a story that you believe needs to be addressed, FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU CAN PERSONALLY DO ABOUT IT. Then, ACT. Look up a person involved with the story, write them a letter offering your assistance. Give them a phone call. No, really. Then drive there yourself, collect some FIRST HAND information around the situation. Before you condemn a crooked cop or a racist white/black man, collect some data YOURSELF. If you don't do that, then guess what? For you, the news is WORSE THAN USELESS, because it just desensitized you to the world around you, and you probably made a faulty judgment based on limited data. After watching a story, and hearing about injustice, if you fail to act, you are a WORSE PERSON THAN BEFORE YOU STARTED. You have been slightly more acclimated to the climate of crime and evil and hate.

So turn off the news completely. Chances are, there are enough situations and events in your own personal life that require your input and love and care, that you are either to lazy or to ignorant to solve, or perhaps your too busy watching the NEWS. Fix problems in your own life, in your own back yard, before even gathering any data at all on others half way across the world. Seriously. What is the POINT OF IT ALL, if you DO NOTHING!?!?

Whew, OK, thanks for letting me vent. Peace.

How the Blacks "stuck together" during the crisis:

"Blacks and whites are different. When blacks are left entirely to their own devices, Western Civilization—any kind of civilization—disappears."
