In the event of a race war, whose side do you think Obama would take?

Crimes like this one will only fan the flames:

SENECA, SC (FOX Carolina) -
Seneca police said they arrested six men Wednesday in connection with the beating of a North Carolina man at Applebee's earlier in March.
Police said their investigation determined that the victim was beat by the group of men and the incident may have been racially motivated. The department said they forwarded the case to the FBI to determine if it should be pursued further as a hate crime under federal law.

Officers said all six suspects were charged with assault and battery by a mob in connection with the March 17 beating.
The suspects are Teryn Robinson, 18, Tray Holland, 19, Justin Alexander, 20, Derick Williams, 22, Kino Jones, 25, and Montrez Jones, 22. Police said all of them are from the Seneca area and were taken into custody without incident
Think we'll witness any outrage from the Justice Bros, Watters, Holder or Obama over this?

I wonder how come in that article there was no mention of race??? Does the press just mention race when it's a shooting???

Sure do throw out "white" quick enough when that happens...
or...a hate crime is only a one way street...

There's a photo link, if you're talking about the SC article.

The young lady at FAU is not really helping the situation much either, is she.
Talk about hate speech.

Victor Davis Hansen's take on a tough situation
Worth a read.
MARCH 27, 2012 4:00 A.M.
Obama’s Demagoguery
The president has a bad habit of wading uninformed into local controversies.
By Victor Davis Hanson
Excerpts:
The atrocity at first seemed undeniable: A white vigilante, with a Germanic name no less, hunted down and then executed a tiny black youth — who, from his published grammar-school photos, seemed about twelve — while he was walking innocently and eating candy in an exclusive gated community in northern Florida. The gunman had used a racial slur, as supposedly heard on a 911 tape, and ignored the dispatcher’s urging him to back off.
The apparently racist, or at least insensitive, white police chief and district attorney then covered up the murder. Understandable outrage followed in the black community, but the killing also brought out the usual demagogues. Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, and the New Black Panther Party all alleged that the shooting death of Trayvon Martin was an indictment of a systematically racist white society. They demanded justice, and the Black Panthers announced a $10,000 bounty on the supposed killer. Even Philadelphia mayor Michael Nutter got into the act, dubbing the shooting an “assassination.”
President Obama himself, who had been silent about the slaughter in his adopted hometown, weighed in on the Martin case and, unfortunately, highlighted the racial undertones — lamenting that the murdered Martin looked just the way his own boy might, had he a son. The latter statement was true but also, of course, true of some of those murdered in Chicago. And given that the black minority currently commits violent crimes against the white majority more frequently than do the nation’s 70 percent whites against its 12 percent blacks, the president’s evocation of race in the Martin case seemed inappropriate to many.
In other words, the president waded into an ongoing investigation, in which the facts of the case remain murky and in dispute. And instead of playing down the racial component of the tragedy in polarized times, he seemed instead deliberately to have emphasized it.

You apparently wouldn't recognize hate if it bit you in the ass. There are several crowds of black militants out there right now who hate whites, and they don't fear any legal repercussion because of Obama's statements and Holder's lack of action.

QP Dusty--
I am hardly sniveling. I am communicating in a civil and respectful tone with you. I understand, acknowledge, and respect that this is your house and that you've been there and done that. However, it is my view that you are taking this conversation in a direction that it doesn't need to go.
And I assure you that I recognize hateful rhetoric when I see it.

You obliquely accused me of comparing blacks with insects. How is that respectful? I'd call it snide and an act of effrontery, regardless of whose house we're in.
If they had a "Professional Deniers" forum, and I logged on, I wouldn't accuse you in that manner, whether we were buds or didn't know each other from Adam.
You see what's going on, but, since you are free to express your views, you continue to play devil's advocate for the subjects who are in the wrong, and it pisses me off (whether you do it respectfully or act like an ass).

Posting the link was merely to capture its existance prior to its eventual removal by the Wiki editors.
As for me and this topic...

Here's the slideshow. I assume the victim is non-black, since they're considering a hate-crime charge.

Is there truly anyone on this forum who can't recognize the oppression displayed by the acts of racists who would not only accuse Z but offer rewards and demonstrate over his guilt before he's even been charged with anything because a black man was shot?
That razor cuts both ways, and I sense there are some here who are blind to the fact.
http://dailycaller.com/2012/03/29/ki...artins-killer/
On March 24 a “KillZimmerman” Twitter account began publishing calls for violence against George Zimmerman, the self-appointed neighborhood watch captain who shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin on Feb. 26.
Five days later, the account is still on its crusade to avenge Martin.
The sender’s initial tweets made his or her aims clear: “No Justice No Peace!!!!!!!!!! #KILLZIMMERMAN #KILLZIMMERMAN #KILLZIMMERMAN,” they read.
The account’s image is a photo of gun-sight crosshairs superimposed on Zimmerman’s picture.
“This Page Is 4 Da Ppl Who Believe Zimmerman Should Be Shot Dead In The Street,” the Twitter account’s description reads, “The Same Way TRAYVON Was. No Justice No Peace.”
In response to one tweeted complaint on March 24 that the account “is advocating murder,” the account holder replied: “we should just all get up and #killzimmerman ourselves; fuck the system. #AintNoJustice”
“I Think They Should Shoot Zimmerman Dead In His Head Jail Ain’t Enough,” read another message the same day.
“Don’t get me wrong I would be happy if he go to jail,” another tweet read, “but I rather see a bitch shoot him in his fuckin face.”
On March 27, the account tweeted: “Leave All The Violence Shit To Us Coz If They Don’t Put Em In Jail We Gone Get His Ass.”
“We don’t comment on specific users or the status of accounts for privacy reasons,” Twitter spokesperson Rachael Horwitz told The Daily Caller. She did not indicate whether Twitter intends to take action to suspend the account, but provided TheDC with a Web address where users can report “an abusive user.”
It’s clear from the account’s tweets on Wednesday that some Twitter users are taking advantage of that option.
“All these racist motherfuckers tryin to get me deleted like I did something wrong,” one tweet read. “Bitch zimmerman killed #TRAYVON he the one wrong.”
Calls for violence directed at Trayvon Martin’s killer are not restricted to Twitter alone.
The New Black Panther Party has issued a “dead or alive” bounty for Zimmerman’s capture. Its value was originally $10,000. On Wednesday that amount was increased dramatically — to $1 million.
On Facebook, groups named “I want George Zimmerman dead,” “Kill George Zimmerman bitch azz,” “Kill Zimmerman” and “Kill George Zimmerman” have appeared, some with approximately 100 members.
The “Kill Zimmerman” Twitter profile had 162 followers at 1 p.m. EDT Thursday, a number likely to increase because The Drudge Report posted a link to the page.
George Zimmerman remains in hiding from vigilante threats. Absent a fringe element calling for retaliatory violence, the vast majority of Martin’s supporters seek only Zimmerman’s arrest and prosecution

Some are in deep denial - where's the presidential cry for civility now.
Remember the London riots last summer - we may be in for a repeat, in no small part, because of this administration's reluctance to diffuse an already tense situation and call out some undeniably inappropriate behavior by the NBPP and even some in congress.
This is a big leadership fail.

I believe 'reluctance to diffuse' is a stretch.....rather I would say the Administration is not letting this crisis go to waste and in fact they have fueled the fire with their words and are endorsing the behavior with their inaction.
And this isn't the first time for this Administration, it has happened several times since January 2009.
