1. Colin Flaherty’s book and articles are heavily footnoted and referenced. When he describes an example of Black on White mob violence, is anyone saying he is lying or simply making up these events?

2. Flaherty’s main complaint is that the mainstream media rarely reports these events, considering the frequency they occur. Has anyone here counted the number of instances of Black on White mob violence that Flaherty lists, with the number of news stories that appear in the liberal press?

3. None of the people making comments here mention that the half Black Half White president of the United States has not uttered one peep about this racial war that is happening. Remember that it was he who, in 2008, promised to “bring us together,” meaning the Black and White races.

This barbaric “Knockout Game” being practiced by young Black people is NOT a White problem, as one of the comment’s stated. It is a problem that can only be solved by Black leaders in America taking up the challenge of saving their young people from a life of crime which can only end badly.

More importantly, why the exchange rate of Kenyan currency is relevant to the topic of this thread? I can hardly wait for the explanation.

Hmm….Tell me, is the Kenyen farthing the world’s reserve currency? Do countries keep large Kenyan farthing reserves? If not, you might have made a really bad analogy.

United States taxpayers pay for 58% of the world’s military spending. You talk of Liberal Kool Aid (and by the way it was Flavor-Aid, not Kool-Aid if you bother to look into the facts behind your allusion) but what could be greater opium than the right wing idea that squandering our taxes on death and destruction is going to provide us with economic security?

America is not loved for its military, Sam. It is hated. Every American drone scars the world, and the world remembers. The more we go down that road, the clearer it should be that it is the wrong path to security. It’s not just the bloated military budget. It’s the failure to recognize that we, with our vicious habits of waste and consumption and our indifference to global poverty, we are our own worst enemy.

See, this is how 9-9-9 would work in the real world:

the nine percent income tax would result in a slight tax cut for the lower middle class.

It would result in a small tax cut for the middle middle class.

It would result in a significant tax cut for the upper middle class.

It would represent a massive tax cut for the rich and wealthy.

It likely would result in a tax increase for the working poor.

The 9% corporate tax rate would be a massive tax cut for businesses and corporations.

The 9% sales tax would make everything you buy cost at least 9% more (and likely 18% or even 27% or even higher because the businesses you buy goods from will also be forced to pay the sales tax and its doubtful that they will decide to cut into their profits (especially since they are getting a big tax cut) to cover this. With goods going through many hands before reaching the consumers, the price increases could be huge. Even if the buyer buys directly from the manufacturing overseas, you are likely talking about at least a 9% increase – but going through a wholeseller (or domestically manufactured) you easily have at least an 18% increase.

Added onto state sales taxes, some people would be paying as much as 30-40% in taxes on every purchase they make. Because everything costs more people will buy less – likely much less. That will eliminate jobs.

It would dramatically decrease the amount of revenue taking in and dramatically increase the national debt.

It would destroy jobs as people have to consume less brining in even less revenue.

It would destroy jobs as corporations will hire fewer people and pay them less because money paid in salaries is tax deductable by corporations – or alternatively because with a flat tax there would be no deductions at all.

It would destroy jobs as capital spending disappears for the same reason.

It would destroy jobs as corporations eliminate all American manufacturing to avoid paying sales tax (additional costs) on the raw materials. Alternatively it will add to the inflationary pressures causing prices to further skyrocket and further destroy the U.S. economy.

And again, the only way to keep this plan from sending the entire United States economy into a death spiral would be massive governmental job spending which because revenue figures would crater could only be accomplished by borrowing more money.

The entire plan was designed to appeal to people who lack basic understanding of economics and the current tax structure.

And you want to talk about tax “equity” why aren’t you complaining about the fact that Mitt Romney on millions of dollars of income is paying a much lower tax rate than someone making $50,000 a year? Or are you one of those fools who is stupid enough to believe that there are people who aren’t paying any taxes?

Quite simply Sam, try learning some basics and then once you replace ignorance with knowlege you will learn how wrong you are. Even most Republicans thought that Cain’s 9-9-9 plan to destroy America was stupid.

And what does Kenya have to do with anything unless youare coming out of the closet as a birther? Ignorant fool.

He was a bad joke like his “Nein Nein Nein” domestic policy or Godfather’s Pizza.

No I would say he doesn’t have a very good grasp of the constitution seeing as how in an interview he said that communities should have the right to stop the building of mosques and that Islam isn’t covered under the 1st Amendment’s freedom of religion.

Are you recommending that the SPLC read every. single. comment. on every. single. website. that they cite?

While I am certainly sorry that you were banned from WARN, your own personal animus is certainly not enough to take issue with the SPLC’s excellent reportage.

Also, your mention of ‘white liberal venues’ immediately raises suspicious about your being a simple concern troll.

But nice try regardless.

This is not a newsflash the posture of WND is what Black Americans have learn to expect from white media outlets including white liberal venues like the NYT, WAPO and others.

BTW as a disclosure I was once a frequent poster on WARN ( We Are Respectable Negroes) I was banned for obecting to the host of the site who posts under alias for his consant and unwarranted attacks on black urban youth to observe him now being cast as some hero for debunking this myth and fiction about ‘black mob violence” is a joke.

One hopes the next time SPLC inserts a Black web site to butress their narratives some at SPLC should take the time to read the totality of commentaries on this subject by the host of WARN.

To begin with, your demand that the article and your comments be refuted is a classic argument from ignorance fallacy. Read here, I don’t have the time or interest to school you, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A....._ignorance)

Now, to address the remainder of your idiotic post… It would appear that you think that our sources of information are limited to the NY Times or MSNBC. Nothing says “conservative troll” than that sort of accusation. You are running out of ideas with this silly trope, lazy boy. OMG, you are so well informed and we are so ignorant!

You somehow seem entitled to determine who and who isn’t in your mythical “mainstream” of “black thought”. White privilege will do that, even though you probably don’t acknowledge the concept. The ignorance of youth probably goes a long way to explain this, but at this point I don’t discount the possibility that your are just a stupid conservative.

I could go on, but honestly I don’t have the interest. Sam, you are now consigned to the same bin as JasonAnnieEzra. You have far more in common with them than you do with the rest of us. Enjoy the hostility to come.

However, as we all know, beauty is invariably accompanied by the occasional blemish — and WND is very definitely an inflamed zit in serious need of popping!

This is so unsurprising. World Net Daily endorsing another nonsensical conspiracy theory.

” Any advice on living responsibly by any White person will be completely ignored by the people that would benefit the most from it. The Black people mentioned here are probably way out there, but there are some very smart Black people who speak with a voice of reason.”

“…Herman Cain is a deep thinker with a good sense of humor.”

In a previous thread you opined that job candidates who are black are disadvantaged by the conduct of previous black employees who were not punctual or had a poor work ethic. That was dog whistle racism. Today you may have jumped the shark.

I’m sure the members of the community will be delighted to hear that you think there are some very smart “Black people” who speak with the voice of reason. What a relief that must be, to have their intelligence validated by you, even though you are sure that they will reject your advice on how to live responsibly. [face palm]

Herman “Ubeki-beki-beki-beki-stan-stan” Cain is a deep thinker? Since you have made the point of not being over educated, Sam, then I imagine he meets your criteria of deep intellect. I will grant you that Cain has a sense of humour, but in the end the joke was not that funny.

…do you by chance consider Bill Cosby to be the ideal American black man?

There is nothing at all racist about saying that violence is a serious problem in the African American community. What is racist is saying that the violence exists as a consequence of mere racial status as a minority citizen. The real violence is economic, it is cultural, it is steeped in white privilege even to this day.

When discussing violence in America we need to look at all forms of victimization and social exclusion, from poverty and outright racism that favors white people and excludes minorities, to the tendencies toward violence of the Anglo culture with its rage-filled cult of the individual and notions that violence is acceptable if you are angry enough and feel the need to exert your individual primacy over the group. This is not a racist comment to state that the Anglo Saxon mythology with its warlust is among the most violent and bloody of any on the planet.

So let’s also look at the freewheeling trade in firearms that goes back to the same Anglophile roots, as sanctified by our precious Second Amendment, as if gun violence and the trade in weapons are somehow distinct phenomena. Guns do kill people.

Let’s look at poverty in the inner cities, which is a direct consequence of slavery and failure to make reparations, with the generational transfer of wealth, education, family stability, and land ownership favoring white people over black people in general.

Let’s look at how even today schools with predominately black and latino students receive 7% less funding than all other schools, and that students with predominately white students receive more funding on average, even within individual school districts that all receive the same tax revenues. This is because teachers are paid more to teach white kids in America. So when we see violence occur what we are seeing is the reflex of an institutionally racist educational system.

Let’s look at how our police are racist in who they single out, what hoods they patrol, how our penal system is racist and segregated, and how our judicial system has grand juries who are middle aged, wealthy white men who decide who goes to court, and there again we see how money gets some people out of trouble and the lack of it sends others to jail.

I believe there is far more to this issue of racism in America than can be described by mere collation of data along racial lines. We need to look at the whole picture, and it is not a flattering one for white people, who want to pretend they have no part in the violence tearing apart the black community.
