Actually in many circumstances they did, whether "on the line" or the Yankees being out-general'd for quite awhile; ultimately they were simply out-resourced in a variety of ways.

Follow-up to ODNT's nice idea, I don't imagine the metro denizens would be happy when their feel-good diversity-espousing "betters" in city hall turn into full-blown despots in front of their eyes to hold onto their own rice bowls. And those having sought sanctuary get hungry too. What do you mean those Walmart Distr Center trucks won't make deliveries? Logistics; it's what's for dinner.

this thread got me into soul-searching mode, and this guy got a pretty level-headed perspective. Are we becoming useful idiots too? Is right vs left just a media built construct?

Back then the north was a manufacturing giant compared to the south. Now, not so much.

Frostfire,

Thanks for posting that link. I have a long drive coming up think I'll listen to this guy (Rex) talk for awhile. He seems to get it.

Well, I was thinking of the psychological aspects of what that would do. On the plus side the city folks would be less inclined to stampede to the flyover states if they felt the food was all gone.

Is it probable that the "country" boys will have far better training and more rifles than the typical big city armed citizen?

I'd put bets on the country riflemen vs a pack of pistol packing city thugs.

That's a great question. I don't think just media, but it's useful to them and their consumers because it lets people rack & stack and (however it shakes out) being able to do so lends a comfort of sort (even when perhaps they should be not aligning with either one).

I recall some reading while proofing a friend's manuscript on the Polish Brygada during WW-II and they didn't play along with that construct as some other resistance groups did who, ultimately, paid the price for collaboration when the Germans were gone & the NKVD moved in & no longer needed them except in Siberia. The Brygada didn't buy "enemy of my enemy is my friend b.s." They regarded both as the enemy & their primary goal was to ensure survival of their culture in the face of extermination w/o getting into no-win actions that would call down the wrath from above. Objectivity is a bitch sometimes.

Go Devil, lol; yeah, till the EBT cards stop workin'...

More diversity and tolerance from the left

Texas A&M Professor says white people may have to be killed

Quote:
Among other things, Curry says that black people should talk openly about murdering white people. In a youtube interview, he says that the murder of white people may be necessary for “black liberation.” Further, he suggests that white people need to fear blacks so much that they believe “death could come for them at any moment.”
Not hate speech according to the left. Reverse the colors and the professor is looking for a job tomorrow.

Racism...alive and well.

They've even changed the definition to (wrongly) suggest that only certain groups can be racist - another farce attempted to be shoved down people's throats.

The AFFIRMATIVE ACTION QUOTA PROFESSOR?????

I hope Tommy is in the fight and not behind the action and just urging other's to do his bidding. I can envision tommy being stopped by white poo-lice for DUI, possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute and surprise a stolen loaded 9mm pistol, That the Poo-lice planted on him. This is a prelude to Tommy writing his autobiography"The Black-Boy- Not have any common sense....GIVE ME A F---ing BREAK.....tom kelly

Yes, the dicta from the pie-hole of Eric Holder rings on.

What an arrogant POS that guy is. And of course you will never hear anyone from the left condemning his message; what do you say, Al "Plastic Wig " Sharpton. Chirp, chirp....he would probably say that it is not racist because the "black men" in this country are being oppressed by the white man; honkies.

The professor is always welcome speak his mind at my house; I'll just tell him he acted stupidly.
