Why black athletes like to play in southern states is beyond me. If they have a chance, they should go North or West.

 

[Capt Caveman]

I am not a redneck but wouldn't you be angry if you were them, Understand how they feel

Do you feel the same way about Muslims? Or only white people?

College Football is HUGELY popular in the south, the SEC is a powerhouse (as well as some PAC-10 programs). Lots of chance to play for a winner and get into the NFL from an SEC team.


Also, lots of black people in the south, so i think they'd feel more at home in the south if they come from that region.

I know the SEC is popular but so is the Pac 12 and Big 10. They can get a better education and get into the NFL without all of the racism(or not as much).

I dunno, there's only so many elite football programs... there surely aren't any here in the North East

LOLOLOL - Wait so no property damage and 2 people arrested for god knows what (probably being drunk and/or fighting with each other) and at the most allegations of racist language being used, which the commenter in the news broadcast states were yelled out by "Both sides". Wake me up when you have something real to report chicken little.

P.S. The original usage of the word "Redneck" was a term that was first used to described unionized mine workers who wore red bandanas around their necks in order to identify themselves and their union back in the 1920's-30's. "The more you know."

They burned a sign! They burned a campaign sign! I'm stunned, I just don't know what to say. Those monsters burned a sign and yelled dirty words! They yelled dirty words out loud and ran around and burned a campaign sign. It's an abomination! It's a nightmare. College students burned a campaign sign and yelled dirty words and 2 of them got arrested for being drunk. 2 of them were actually drunk! It's a nightmare. What has this country come to? Is this our future?

 

[Angry Irishman]

You don't think the same behaviour wasn't exercised by Democrats as well during the election? Ignorance is ignorance and hate is hate regardless of party affiliations.

The mindless approval of either parties politics on this forum blows my mind.

On a lighter note....this shit is funny as hell.

Actually the point was that they're racist dogshit like the rest of the republican party. But please pray tell how you're going to do minority outreach when your party's base is made up of racists.

Edit: Nice way of describing racial epithets as 'dirty words'.

So everyone is racist in the republican party?

A good chunk of them. The party's center of power is in the south. Which is traditionally, how do i put it gently... HOSTILE to people of color.

 

[Jhhnn]

I think anyone who imagines that there wouldn't have been a thousand times the number of riots, a thousand times the severity, with probably hundreds of thousands more participants complete with deaths, property destruction, random violence against any non-black person at hand... etc, if Romney had won, is really truly kidding themselves. (We may still see something like that when Zimmerman is acquitted)

What I saw in this video wasn't much of anything, and I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn in the end that a lot of the turmoil in this case was from people showing up who disagreed with the anti-Obama people, and some confrontation between the two groups breaking out.

Then again it is Mississippi and I wouldn't be too surprised if it's exactly as described, some racist white douche bags drinking and yelling, but by "riot" standards this seems outrageously tame.

Once again, your projections reveal racist tendencies.

True.

Know who else has racist tendencies? All of humanity.

Mine are informed by facts. I fought the connecting of certain dots for 99% of my life, I'm more interested in embracing reality now.

Then why was it that the democrats created the KKK? It was republicans who voted for the civil rights laws.

Nobody in America, probably including Zimmerman himself, cares as much about that case as you do. There is no legitimate reason to believe any rioting would have ensued if Romney had won, nor that any would result from a Zimmerman acquittal. (Ironically, though I would be unsurprised if you attempted to incite Orlando's bigoted internet nutcases into rioting if he is convicted.)

If it's true, as you claim, that the Zimmerman case has singlehandedly changed you, at age 30-whatever, from a diehard lifetime Democrat into an overtly bigoted "independent" who leans Republican, you are mentally unstable to the point that you belong in an institution. In any case, the only Geosurface I know is a diarrhea-mouthed racist paranoiac who has more in common with spidey07 than anyone else that comes to mind.

 

[RabidMongoose]

This is exactly what I'm talking about with regard to the tribalistic nature of many Romney supporters. We need to re-assimilate these people into American culture and society. Otherwise we have millions of lost angry white men who are incapable of interacting with American society as a whole. This is going to be a serious problem.

There were many threats of riots if romney won, it was already known that they would not tolerate romney winning and would go out and riot.

If romney won there would be riots over the US and they would be destroying everything and maybe even target white people

I cringe at the thought that you are actually not a troll...but completely serious about everything you type.

I'm sure Lenny Bruce would agree with you. A dirty word is a dirty word. Big fucking deal.

No outrage found, only faux outrage and not even much of that.

I am not a troll, Listen I am not a racist but I am not happy when over 90% of blacks vote for obama. This itself is racism because they vote for the same race

Did you read those tweets, they were threatening to riot if obama lost

If it's true, as you claim, that the Zimmerman case has singlehandedly changed you, at age 30-whatever, from a diehard lifetime Democrat into an overtly bigoted "independent" who leans Republican, you are mentally unstable to the point that you belong in an institution.

Not singlehandedly, the case and the way the leftist media and African Americans at large framed it, reacted to it, mobilized because of it, etc acted rather as a catalyst or tipping point for me.

A catalyst to crystallize intuitions and understandings and suspicions I'd had about a whole host of things for a long time but had avoided coming to grips with the implications of.

When you suddenly realize the people you've identified with value racial pandering and vengeance more than the law or justice or the truth, it's hard to want to stay associated with them. It can get you headed down a path of thought... and if you had ideas which you'd shoved to the back of your brain which tie into it, they can very easily come rushing to the forefront.

And when you suddenly realize that most African Americans side with "their own" no matter the particulars of a situation, it can be very disillusioning and make you feel like maybe you have to think a bit more about "your own" in a reactive way to that.

Make no mistake, nothing I've undergone recently has changed my understanding of the fact that there are plenty of fantastic, brilliant black people out there, I happen to think Barack Obama is one of them. I no longer agree with his politics, by and large... but I continue to view him as a very positive figure and a well-meaning, intelligent, good man. He also seems to have a lovely family.

I think there are fantastic, brilliant people in all racial groups, I just happen to think there are good evolutionary reasons why the PERCENTAGES of them within each group may not be equal. May NEVER be equal.

I sincerely hope I'm wrong in that, and that's the truth.

I have no use for the republican party, and maintain my decades long hatred for them. I just now hate the democrats about as much. I think both of them act out of motivations that they largely feel are for the good of the country and the world, and both are right on some things. My main gripe with both is being completely beholden to special interests and moneyed lobbyists, corporations, etc. I dislike how we've fallen into a two party rut, and that the daylight between them is so slim lately.

I disliked Romney more than I disliked Obama, Romney seems like a disconnected, chickenhawk, greedy piece of shit who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and convinced himself he was the source of his own wealth. His father sounds like he was a much better man than him.

I dislike his dodging of Vietnam by hiding in France, I dislike it particularly because he is from the party that supports just about every war possible. I have no doubt he would've done the same. I know he supported Vietnam, the war he avoided. I know he had 5 sons who could've served, and didn't.

I dislike that he basically operated under a predatory model of destroying companies for personal gain. Republicans like him wave the flag a lot but they will gladly sell this country out in the form of illegal immigrant labor, shipping jobs overseas, outsourcing, moving factories to China, etc. When forced to pay a decent wage, they run for the hills... even though they would've still been filthy rich even paying that wage. And they have the audacity to claim to be patriots.

Anyway... both parties suck a massive pair of testicles. I'm unsure which is worse anymore.

Maybe I'm just going through a temporary period of disillusion from which I will return to my "non-racist" / uber-liberal roots. I doubt it though. We'll see.

Your constant allusions to mental health problems are tiresome, juvenile, and baseless. A normal man, in the course of his life, reassesses his beliefs when given valid reason to do so. Or just often as a consequence of getting older. You should attempt to raise the maturity and civility level of your discourse.
