A good reference might be the Battle of Blair Mountain. There it was just poor folks. Under the thumb of the mining companies, who were then rescued by the Federal Government. The companies were then allowed to continue their dominance of Appalachian Society.
Of course, I've only heard one side of this story.
In the meantime, the Afghans patiently wait for us to leave, picking off us off a few at time to keep from getting bored....
John, I've "known" you for plenty long enough now to be certain of your quality of character. In my opinion you are an exemplary person and I'm proud to be in discussion with you if you know what I mean. It's worth it to me to continue a bit even though my personal preference is to mind my own business (happily) and let other people get up on the soapbox and rail away about politics.
As far as I'm concerned, we need to leave the second amendment alone and intact and talk about underlying issues, not the second amendment.
Aside from what he was doing with his feet, the ignorant black man in Tim's video was slightly less offensive to me than the fat ignorant people flopping into the mud pit and slinging the corpse of a dead possum unceremoniously into the bed of their pick-up or blowing watermelons to smithereens. In neither video did I see any respect.
Here's the problem: http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Stanford-University-professor-and-mathematician-11291210.php
How does this person, a white female born in Iran, relate to the buzz concepts everybody these days is slinging around like dead possums?
In some parts of Europe white people killed more of each other during the thirty years war over their different concepts of Christianity than the Black Plague did and the Black Death killed a hundred million people in the world.
There's not going to be any unified call in the world to "kill Whitey." When people are packed together in misery they're just going to spread misery. They're too bogged down in their misery to think straight. Why would anyone deny birth control to them?
When hispanic women see that they don't have to dutifully pop out their ignorant husbands' babies one after another the birth rate has been shown to immediately plummet. Why would we deny birth control to them?
It's just plain stupid. The ants, in my opinion, could very easily symbolize the sum total of the human population in the world, devouring resources, air, water tables, ore, habitat, fouling every part of the nest except in the cloistered privileged compounds, and the whites are right in there with the worst of them.
Yeah, we have to do something about the dead weight of public support of lazy, disrespectful, uselessness, but there it's not a race war. People everywhere just want the goodies without having to show any respect for the universe.
Nature does its thing. A horse's hair thickens to prepare it for winter - the horse doesn't know it, it just happens.
I believe this country is headed for troubled waters, and powerful people with anti-America agenda are funding it. Soros, for one! I believe it is no accident that racial tension is being stoked. I believe that it is no accident that tactical training and shooting is a rapidly-growing industry. The horse's hair thickens...
But as I've always thought: If your hobby is golf, you don't pick a fight with a guy whose hobby is MMA. Similarly, stoking chaos with people who shoot and train to shoot, and who have seen this coming for years and are prepared, is suicide.
The first and loudest to label us as kooks, are the least prepared for that future.
Egg, the only thing missing in that story compared to today is that today, there would be some media types extolling on the side of the ants, and they would also have some of their "supporters" putting pieces of wood across the water ditch. this "fight" that the white race is in is exactly the same as your story. As in nature, it will be either us or the rest of the world that is going to win or survive. For millennia, famine, wars and infighting have kept the population down, but the wonders of modern technology, and the spreading of that technology to all of the different races and peoples around the world have a. greatly increased the survival of the other races and cultures, and b. Saddled us with guilt and "White privilege" to the point where we are not reproducing our selves. The rate of white births is far below even maintaining the current numbers. It is one thing to be running in a race for your life, but quite another when you put on a backpack with a 100#'s in it before you start the race. That is suicide! Everyone has a right to live, and it is only the strong and quickest and most intelligent that nature will allow to go on. If we are stupid enough to ignore nature, or think that we are smarter than nature, we will perish. We are perishing! When the sheer numbers reach 20 or 40 to 1, and the controlled media rile up the other races to "Kill Whitey", that is exactly what will happen. At that time (soon I am afraid)we will be wiped out and the Elite that are funding this orgy will be in control; as was their plan all along. We are all being played against one another, while the people behind the scenes are laughing at all of us.
Please allow me to tweak anti-Second Amendment folks like Alba. :-)
This is what black leaders have created: hate!
Hate by ignorant people who have been brainwashed by 3 generations of government handout dependency.
I think it's probably a good idea to watch your back everywhere but certainly where there are people who are angry and really especially where there are people who are angry, drunk, and mean. Not meaning to go off-topic (?) but we can all use a short break while we are mulling these things over, and somebody might want to take a look at a classic short story I first encountered when I was 14. The story itself was written in 1938.
Roofguy Said:Nice hair-splitting. So blacks killing 18 people in Chicago every weekend doesnt matter, because a white guy kills 24 people in a theater once every 15 years? Better brush up on that math.
85% of white victims have been killed by white offenders. So it's not the blacks that you got to watch your back from but the fellow whites.As I was driving through Birmingham al the day before yesterday I heard on the radio that the police were on a manhunt for a blonde blue eyed male driving a red Nissan who had just killed 3 kin folks whom he was visiting in the Gardendale area. Chances are higher that you may get killed by a drunk armed relative who comes over for a visit than by a black man or an Islamic terrorist .
Society wants to dictate how we learn lessons, but nature has its own methodology. I learned from the 7th grade on that it was many times more likely that a black kid would pick on the white kid, than vice versa. The best lessons in life are learned by the "burning fingers on a hot pan" method. The memory and the knowledge lasts a lifetime.
Black folks have been led astray by their leaders who have taught them that whitey is evil. Society, still, wants us to ignore that. The subtle hints are everywhere if you're paying attention. You would think that by watching Geico, Toyota, GE and other commercials, that every other marriage in America is mixed-race. They pander. They want me to ignore what the real world has taught me, and that is that 9 out of 10 white women that I know who married black men, end up single and trying to support 5 kids on welfare. Don't even think about calling me racist, without first asking yourself if what I just said is true. I'm sure it's the same in your city, it's a cultural thing.
Alba Said: since we have constitutional aficionados here .what happened to the founding fathers creed:all men are created equal ?when we say all races should go where they came from does this mean that the white folks should go back to Europe and give the country back to the Native American Indians? When it comes to crime the whites arent so innocent.the majority of mass shootings are carried out by whites . The statistic shows the number of mass shootings in the United States between 1982 and 2017, by race and ethnicity of the shooter(s). Between 1982 and April 2017, 48 out of 86 mass shootings were initiated by White shooters.
Nice hair-splitting. So blacks killing 18 people in Chicago every weekend doesn't matter, because a white guy kills 24 people in a theater once every 15 years? Better brush up on that math.
Hmmm. Hows that deterrent worked so far?
Excellent, we're still free. Kinda. And Japan didn't attack the mainland US in WWII because of our guns. What more could you want?
It is true that a handful of anti-gunners have watered it down.
The "Owners" don't care what color we are or what culture or heritage we belong to. They just want the money from EVERYONE, The power over EVERYONE and the control over everyone, everywhere!
Here's the truth from comedian George Carlin! RIP! George;
That sounds about right. That would mean that about 45% of the "shootings" were committed by 40% of the people. On the other hand, there are lies, damn lies, and Statistics. figures lie, and liars figure. Alba, why don't you give your house and land back and go back to Europe then? Nature is indifferent about who lives and who dies; and when! The white race needed space to breath, and they took it! They fought the peoples that were here, and in Australia and South Africa and they made a living area that was second to none. It must be, because all of the peoples in the world re trying to get out of where they are and get to the white areas. The only problem is that when they do this and we don't stop them, we won't have any place to live. If we were so bad, you would think they would be running away from us. I am damn tired of being a slave to the rest of the peoples of the world. I am not hoping anything bad happens to them, but I am through helping them to my own detriment. Would you give away over half of what you earned every year to help these people voluntarily? When the government takes it from me and gives it to you, it is not charity; it is THEFT!

It's a cultural issue not a racial issue, but it just so happens that cultures are often neatly divided according to race.
Police can't profile, I can and do. It's a simple matter of self-preservation. Survival. Our city of 230,000 is approximately 23% black. State crime rate stats for our city historically say that blacks commit 74% of the crimes. I only need to do simple math in my head to realize that me and my family should stay away from the side of town where a flat tire at night becomes a serious safety concern.
Ignoring that does not make someone fair-minded, it makes them more likely to be a victim of crime.
Black "leaders" are only making the problem worse. They feed off of, profit from, and gain power from feeding into the theory that their constituents' lives suck, because whitey has been keeping them down for decades. You foster that hate long enough and people will lash out and take revenge on those they think have kept them down.
