[Discussion] The Increasing Racial Tension

[Kenotthib]

Do you guys think there is some hidden agenda behind it all?

Edit: I don't know why but with the riots, protests, etc. I feel really uneasy about it all.

 

[Zealotic]

Most definitely on both sides

 

[naruto1246]

I can honestly say .. I think no different of black people in any way... I will treat them like I do everyone else with respect until they prove them selves to be bad people ...

 

[Gerkak]

Who knows? I can't really see what benefit it would bring to anyone in these modern times. In the past there were some benefits, evil and selfish though they were.

There's always been racial tension....blacks are finally soaking up. Pretty soon the government will find a way to completely violate everyone's rights.
I don't like to see it as a racial thing though
I think of it more as police brutality hinting government fatalities

 

[Romezio]

People gotta chill. and yeah somebody is ALWAYS up to something.

 

[Mypower]

Why do people judge others on skin color ? I don't get it.

Maybe so they can feel important or because they were taught to, or some other rediculous reason.

You can't generalize a group or an entire race of people based on a few hundred or even a few billions.

You'll have to judge every black person sperately to completely "judge" them. As a whole I can say more black people are volient and don't take kind to a lot of "retarded" shii white people like or think is right.

To us country is ***** music.
To them rap is thug music.

That's debatable...that assumption is made because the blacks that are like that get the most publicity. Also the Dane can be said about other races

Idk, but imho, there is a burden that our current generation is lifting., the burden of the past.. History.. Colonialization, killing, mass extinction, war, slaves, racial migration, etc... Maybe this is also contributing to the sensitivity of the racial tension. Every babies born to this world has been brought up in a racially biased way. Sadly.

It's not a hidden agenda, at all.

It's right there in the open for people to see, and has been for years. The problem is that mainstream society has placated the people who use this tactic and allowed them to get away with it.

Bluntly, there are a lot of people who get rich off of making black people believe that racism still exists and that the only way they will ever have the hope of living a life they are 'being denied' is if they vote Democrat and chant with Al Sharpton, the Black Panthers, and the Islamic State.

There are a lot of people who get power from this process.

Notice that the message isn't: "Hey, black people, stop shooting each other and start learning to do things. Why don't you learn how to weld so you can fix the stairs outside the apartment? Or how about you learn some electricians' trades to fix the eternally flickering light? Who is up for some carpentry?"

This is not the message that blacks in the cities are being sent.

What is the message?

"The system is denying you things you deserve. Join us and you will get the things you deserve for being black."

I'm not going to deny that there are people with a negatively racist view of blacks, but they are by far in the minority. They will, however, get louder and more people will listen to them as black people burn down businesses and demand protection money from the rest of society.

At the end of the day, that is exactly what is happening, today.

"Do what we say or we'll burn more shit down. And if you arrest us or shoot us for doing so, you will be a racist trying to exterminate us."

Not all black people think this way - but what needs to happen is we all need to stand up and tell these people that they do not get to write laws in our society by issuing demands and terrorizing non-compliance with those demands.

Unfortunately, this will likely not happen and the U.S. will end up facing a civil war that will split along multiple ideological lines.

Yes, it all played out too perfectly.

1. They used misinformation over the Michael Brown case to divide citizens via Racism. (Both sides of it think the other side is racist, therefore will not reason or discuss with the other side) This brought the idea of Police Powers abuse to the forefront.

2. Now that Police Power Abuse is a mainstream and relevant topic, politicians can realistically bring up the idea of "Police Cams" and Obama can request money for it from Congress, with civilian approval.

3. They decided to necro the older Eric Garner case, which was clearly an injustice, however, the idea is over racism. With most people accepting that this was murder, recklessness, or brutality, this empowers the campaign of the Michael Brown supporters, and "shuts up" the Michael Brown opposition simultaneously, as Eric Garner's case cannot be argued. This creates the assumption of "Police ARE abusing their powers" and "Racism is everywhere."

4. With this mentality gaining ground because of the follow up of Eric Garner's case, NYC was able to easily and quickly create a Police Body Cam policy without resistance. My guess is someone is hoping for a cascade effect here.

I cannot begin to tell you why everything was manipulated to pass these Body Cams, but this is my observation. I'm not sure why they'd be important, but somebody sure does want them and is being very opportunistic for it.

The other effect is that politically blaming racism on everything is a new religion. People will follow it blindly, and it can be used to tarnish anybody or make anybody a target. That's A LOT OF POWER for politicians to have whenever they have an agenda and can't be met with opposition.

tl;dr Civilians are divided and manipulated for policy changes meanwhile the ability for a Politician to manipulate perspectives of racism to get their way has gone up drastically. Also, this is my analysis so feel free to disagree.

Edit: The way I worded this makes it seem like it was all set up. Not necessarily, but opportunists I think did sway things in their favor as much as they could when they saw it.

By keeping the sheeple divided and fighting amongst each other, it's easier to control us. Noone will bother with the vanishing of 14 trillion tax payers dollars, spending trillions of american tax dollars on foreign interventionism and countless other shady agendas that do not apply to the wishes of the tax payer itself. It's nice to have something small-scaled to focus on so we can stir racial issues and bicker over it for months, ignoring the real issue. Which is the fact that if we let a certain group of people or simply a fellow citizen be treated like this, it'll eventually affect all of us.

 

[BlacLord™]

Why do people judge others on skin color ? I don't get it.

Mainly because of old beliefs that linger from the past (i.e. Older generations instilling such ideas on their children etc).

Pretty stupid if you ask me !!

So lets say your black. Should I hate you because you're a different color from me.
WHy are most people stupid ?!?!? *facepalm*

 

[Jazzy Stardust]

Sometimes shit just happens. Thinking the government is creating these situations puts you against your country. Which would be feeding into the "plan" if there was one.

When other races first started entering countries where other races were predominate, people were... wary of them. You have to remember that people in those times weren't as enlightened (most didn't see much of the world, have comprehensive schooling or have things like the Internet to become accustomed) and so, that wariness turned into a fear of sorts, a bit like a defence mechanism.
