The Next Racial Problem Coming Down the Pike

[leftofcool]

This is just a heads up to followers of both camps because I believe it concerns both camps equally. It is also based on about 80% speculation and 20% just reading what's out there and the fact that I have heard it touched on briefly a few times in the MSM. There are have been innuendos, veiled threats and outright posts made here and on freeper forums to the fact that if Obama does not win the nomination, there will be rioting in the streets by Black people or White people. The same thing has been said if he wins then loses the GE. Now, we all know this is pure horseshit. This is not what we are about as Dems. Sure, there will be some disgruntled voices and plenty of blame to pass around, but there will not be riots or guns, or blood or anything else of the sort.

However.....(you knew it was coming)I have heard reports that this thing is about to take wings in the MSM and this is what the Rethugs will say, (You have to suspend disbelief here and think like a Republican, you can go shower afterward: "They have to give the nomination to Obama because if they don't, there will be riots at the convention." or "Clinton can't have the nomination because all the Blacks will riot at the convention." or "If Barack Obama loses the election, there will be riots in the streets."

I believe we all know that no matter whether this bullshit starts with Rush Fatass or with Sean "my wife won't put out" Hannitize Me, it will spread like a California wildfire through the entire MSM. We also all know that the ilk of Bill "where's my 900 number list" O'Reilly constantly gleans these forums and others for little tidbits of BS just like this.

I say, that anytime we see a post where any type of threat or innuendo like this is made in any forum where we post, we immediately call it for the horsehit it is. Just my 02.

Okay, everybody shower!

1. Oh, I heard this same thing over a month ago.

No one is going to riot. Might be some plates thrown at a wall or something, just like in 2004. :)

2. MSM will be real disappointed if it doesn't get its riot . . .

3. We need to riot on the MSM.

They are worse than ever.

4. I hear it here on DU

what do you think they are saying when they say "bloodbath" if the superdelegates give it to Clinton?

BTW hopefully after this primary we should do away with superdelegates, they are a terrible idea. And we should also take a long hard look at Dean, he has totally fucked this one up.

7. Ah, it's a metaphor...

It's like saying 'if we lose the election, headws will roll at the party level'. Nobody takes this to mean that party leaders will literally be guillotined. I think you might want to cut back on your coffee intake, or if you don't have one maybe you should take it up.

6. We will have to watch

This incident gave me a heads up. I think this is an isolated incident.
But, eventually, some people may be provocateurs, so to speak. "Longing for the "good 'ol days"?

State Rep. says he was target of racial intimidation....

There is a he said she said element to this story. Of course the guy is going to defend his establishment and it's possible that she did not hear everything.

Aside from that, last year a NAZI parade came to Columbia, MO with the express motive to provoke try to create an uprisinf and hopefully provoke violence. It does happen.

If any of that stuff does happen it is important to not respond with the hate and anger they want.

8. I heard this racist trash just this morning on talk radio from a "Hillary" supporter.

It is racist through and through. Black people are not going to riot if Obama doesn't win the nomination. It is a racist insinuation that Black people are "savages."

This is also said when a sports championship occurs related to a city with a large Black population. A very odd perception given the fact that the vast majority of RIOTS (fires, trashing of property and cars, etc.) are connected to college age WHITE males.

I also heard this same caller claim the DNC has ordered the superdelegates not to vote for Hillary. This is just more garbage.

9. I'm a 41-year-old white man.... and I'd feel like rioting too...
