The most dangerous people in America
Written by Michael Vass
So I was walking to my house on a Sunday at 6:15pm, and I was reminded of something that causes me pause. Young White males. Seriously, they make me nervous. In this case it was because as they drove past me they decided to just scream at me as they drove past relatively slowly. I suppose they expected me to jump or shout or something. I did flinch for a moment as my thoughts were elsewhere.
But when you think about it, many claim young Black males are dangerous. How silly. While many African Americans may posture and dress like the ready-for-prison crowd, they in fact are just regular kids. Few actually commit crimes, especially violent ones though the major media likes to play it as if they do nothing but felonies.
But young White males are dangerous. High school shootings? White males. Most petty crimes, the same. Nooses hung from trees and various other places? White males. ‘Redneck row’ and other whites’ only places enforced by White males. Bensonhurst, and so on and so on.
Why? Because a White male can bring a shotgun to a school and have no penalty. A White male can instigate fights and be seen as the victim. A West Virginia – the men had half a dozen or more arrests, one being for murder, not counting the women) which the media buried and refuse to discuss.
So when you face the fact that the media, law enforcement, and far too many people have an absolute fear of me, while I am less likely to do anything, you see things differently. I’m fearful and cautious because if I confront young White males acting badly, I stand a better than average chance of being the one that goes to jail. I get nervous because the real possibility of me being harmed is high. Because I am a Black Puerto Rican I stand a great chance of being killed, by the police, young White males, or the lack of timely medical attention.
In fact, even at 40, my chances of being killed are higher than Whites of virtually any age or background. So can you imagine why on a Sunday afternoon I was startled and nervous when 3 young White men decided to antagonize me for no reason?
So yes, what I fear are young White males. Due to sheer numbers, and sheer number of acts of violence and suffering. Not that any of this is conveyed by the major news media. Not that anyone will notice a start of police shooting down White kids 50 times, even with cause. Not like my fear, or my above average chance of death, will have a reason to diminish as I get older.
Do you share my fear and caution? Why?

Mike:
Even though you have an appropriate fear of white racist youths, I would ask you one question.
There are not too many white people that are proponents of having metal detectors in schools and yet, many schools throughout black areas in this country now have metal detectors. This is especially true in inner city areas.
So before you go judging white youth and the shootings in schools, I’ll repeat, most white people are not proponents of metal detectors.
So I ask you this. If there was legislation suggested in the South Bronx that called for the removal of all metal detectors from the schools, would you vote yes?
I didn’t think so.

Seems as if you hit that nail on the head !

Ken and OG,
You mention metal detectors in schools, which is tangial to the main aspect of what I am speaking about. You also deflect my post to only include White racist youths. I believe there is more to the issue I was addressing.
But first, the point of the White youths that cause me pause. I do not limit it to racists, or at least those that are overtly racist. I don’t believe that the kids in Columbine were racist. I don’t believe that most of those that have committed high school or college shootings are racist. I don’t believe that Kelly Tilghman is racist. Even the kids that hung the nooses in Jena probably weren’t racist. In all their minds they weren’t intending to be racist, they were just being White Americans.
That is not to say that all White Americans are like the people I have just mentioned. But I do mean to say that there is a difference in thought that is a given as a White American as opposed to being anything else. Whites do not question if the police will shoot them 50 times for trying to enter their own home, or if a cab will stop to pick them up at any time of the day. Whites do not question being mistaken for a drug dealer because of the clothing they wear or the area they are in and being shot by police for it (as recently happened to a Black 13 year old boy). Whites do not question if they will be charged more on loans, car purchases, and mortgages. Whites do not question why a crack house next door to them for 4 years is allowed to exist. Whites do not presume that a car full of any group will drive up and jump out to beat them, randomly, and get away with it. Whites do not question if 10 policemen will arrive within minutes at their house because of an odd sound that is called in, and search it for an hour only to find a cat (as happened to a friend of mine in New Jersey one month ago). These are givens. For any person of color it is not.
Now to your point about the metal detectors.
First, considering the spree of high school shootings across the country, predominately in smaller towns with minimal minority residency, I would think that metal detectors would be welcomed. But if the concept, ‘My kid wouldn’t do that’, or ‘It won’t happen here’ is better, se la vie.
Secondly, metal detectors are predominant, to my knowledge, in city schools. That includes all schools whether they have a high number of Blacks, Whites, Hispanics or otherwise. Of course because they are in cities the proportion of people of color is higher. Equally as important is the fact that there has not been a single high school shooting around a school in a city, and only one in a college in Washington State. And the most important fact I believe is that, to my knowledge, there has never been a school shooting that has been executed by African Americans or Hispanic/Latinos.
That is important because there is no question that there are more guns, crime, and gangs in cities than most small towns across America. So the relevance of metal detectors to school shootings is moot, I believe. Thus the problem is not the weapons but the people committing the crimes. And just as with mass murders the overwhelming antagonists are Whites.
Now would I vote to remove the metal detectors in the South Bronx? No.
I don’t see a reason to tempt fate. At the same time I do not confuse the fact that metal detectors, that have been in place far longer than school shootings have been occurring, are in schools with the prevention of shootings around the schools or in neighborhoods that hold as many people in one block as some towns hold. Especially whey you consider inner city areas that are rife with drugs and gangs.
So again I present you the thought, that even when considering the overwhelming opportunity in cities, that has existed at least since I was in school some 35 years ago, the most dangerous people in America have been and continue to be White youths.

Dude, Colombine was like 10 years ago literally this is 2008 that was in 1998. The number 1 cause of deaths for blacks below the age of 30 is homicide and that is not because whites are killing them it is because they are killing each other. The number 1 cause of death for all other racial groups under 30 are accidents. Your trying to be a pain by persisting in denying reality. You want to say something hateful and mean to whites, but i for 1 don’t care. Your black and if your murdered in this country there is a 94% chance it is another black man that kills you. I’m white and if I’m killed there is an 89% chance that another white dude pulled the trigger.

Soldie,
First, my name is Michael Vass not dude. Please use that as after 40 years of life I think I am at least deserving of that if not the more polite and respectful Mr. Vass.
But to answer your comment, I did not isolate my initial post or comment above to only Columbine. As I stated and is clear fact virtually every mass murder occurring in a school or college to date has been committed by a White young male. None have ever happened, or even been planned as is known, by African Americans or Hispanic/Latino Americans. And that is throughout the decade of time you wish to isolate my comments to, which I do not.
Thus while same race crimes may be more likely to cause harm or death to a Black male, which is a problem on a one-on-one basis, young White males are vastly more dangerous to groups of individuals. That is to say nothing of those older White males that are predominant in committing “gone postal” shootings, serial murders, and murder sprees.
You go on to mention how homicides are the leading cause of deaths to Black males under 30. You fail to mention that 66.2 percent of hate crimes are enacted against Blacks (according to D.O.J. 2006 reports). Further looking at the data from 1994 through 2004 we see that crimes by more than one offender against a victim work out as follows:
http://www.ojp.gov/bjs/abstract/cvus/race.htm
White victim - 1,555,490 Percentage committed by White - 48.8% Black - 22.2% Other - 11.8% Mixed race - 12.2% Unknown - 5.1%
Black victim - 372,680 Percentage committed by White - 10.8 Black - 67.1 Other - 6.7 Mixed - 13.9 Unknown - 1.5
In addition violent crimes committed by 1 offender are as follows:
Crimes of violence 6,930,880 Percentage committed by White - 62.1% Black - 26.2% Other - 9.3% Unknown - 2.4%
So we get this realization, Whites committed 4,297,146 acts of violent crime against a single person, and 759,079 acts against multiple victims that were White. Thus once we move away from percentages and look at real numbers we learn that Whites are far more likely to commit a crime of violence against anyone, especially other Whites. Again I never isolated my comments to murder; I was speaking of violence and general danger.
Now add in the age component of multiple victims:
Crimes of violence 2,010,170 Under age 12 - 0.3% Ages 12-20 - 46.9% Ages 21-29 - 13.9% All over 30 - 5.7% Mixed ages - 25.9% Unknown - 7.2%
Thus 61.1% of all violent multiple crimes are committed by those at or under age 29. [Single crime age data not found] That is considered young.
So again I say what the numbers prove true, and seemingly leaves some readers feeling uncomfortable, young White males are dangerous.
It is not hateful or mean to state facts. You may not like the facts, you may feel embarrassed by them, but they are facts. There is no dispute of the numbers. And by not hiding behind percentages that sound impressive, we see the reality that was expressed to me on that Sunday.
The truth is that I have never in 40 years heard of a White male shot by police 50 times, or 40, or even a dozen – though multiple Blacks have been. The truth is I have never heard of a Black kid shooting a school or college. The truth is that nooses are used by Whites to intimidate and threaten Blacks. [By the way, as a friend of mine mentioned, what other purpose would anyone – especially kids – have to know how to make a noose?] The fact is that 6 Whites (most of whom were young) raped, tortured and kidnapped a Black woman that was avoided by the media. For all your protest otherwise you avoided speaking about any of these events. And for each one we can find multiple events of an exactly similar nature over the last 40 years. These are facts and they are not filled with hate or mean. They are just the truth.
You might like to be told the facts of what happens in America in a manner that makes you feel good, but that’s just sugar-coating. You might be upset that some Whites act in a manner that is despicable. But you have yet to deny or prove me incorrect.
And why is any of this important?
Because America is filled with anger and penalties of law that are motivated by the inaccurate and tunnel-visioned lie of who is committing crimes of violence. Because these prejudices and stereotypes influence our entertainment, politics, and daily lives. Because instead of saying that there is a problem and dealing with it we look to address the symptoms.
If you find me a pain because I’m presenting you the reality that actual numbers back up, and not the prejudiced image that percentages present, I can’t help you.
So now the question is before you, since the factual and accurate numbers state that young White males are the most dangerous group in America what will you do about it? Feel embarrassed and upset with me for telling you the truth, or do something to change the facts?
July 20th, 2008 at 5:09 pm
Perhaps Mike the reason why you always hear of black youth being killed by the police is because they are the violent ones. I live in Utah, which is predominatly white. They dont go around and shoot at eachother, or attack eachother. Yes, they act like boys and yell and tease people. That is hardly killing people or carrying guns.
I think you are in a bit of denial there Mike. Use the recent floods as an example. People are pulling together and working their own way out. They help thier neighbors and help themselves.\\
Then look at New Orleans, when there was flooding they all fell apart, started to rape eachother and shoot eachother. They were shooting at the helicopters trying to help them for hell sake.
It is the mentality that is the problem here. Whites for the most part have the opinion that we need to take care of ourselves and take responsiblity. Blacks, however are of the opinion that they are somehow owed something, and cant pull thier heads out of thier butts long enough to figure out how to take care of themselves.
That is what makes blacks more dangerous then whites. Their inablity to take any kind of responsiblity.
July 21st, 2008 at 3:46 pm
Mike,
The amount of ignorance being spewed in these few words is enormous. I can say that the friends I have in Salt Lake City, and my experiences in Utah have never reflected the thoughts of Christy. But it reminds me that when any group of people in America is isolated from everyone else ignorance and blatant stupidity is rampant – like Eugene Oregon.
First of all Christy, you ignored all the facts I provided in the post and follow-up comments. Either that is because you chose to ignore factual data provided by the Government, or you could not allow yourself to understand the data’s meaning as it would invalidate your views.
And what views they are. Talk about simplistic racist denial. I am aware that New Orleans had issues after Hurricane Katrina. That is after the flood was over and the streets continued to hold bodies of the dead, and the Government failed to provide the populace with enough food and shelter. I am also aware that the issues that were occurring after the flood were not restricted to a single race, though the major news media had a great time inferring that it was a Black issue only. Had you looked for the full news stories, and not relied on the 15 second news video clips, you would have easily seen that Christy.
And don’t forget the fact that often the media, during the New Orleans floods, showed pictures of Whites and Blacks in the flood waters. The difference was only that when Blacks were shown they were referred to as looters, and Whites were said to be foraging for survival. The bias was blatant if you could look with clear eyes and an open mind.
Still I am unaware of helicopters coming to aid civilians that were being shot at. I’d love to see a link to that news report, provide it if it exists as I never found such a story in all my coverage or following of the story.
Christy, you are as ignorant of history as you are of using a spell check program. You state that Whites take responsibility and care of themselves. Let’s walk through a bit of history. Modern math, which enables Mankind to walk on the moon and have the internet, is all based on the number 0, created and used by the Middle East and Africa. The cradle of civilization, the beginnings of trade, and formal written language, all created in Africa.
Let’s move forward in time. The major wars of the Ancients were virtually all started by White countries needing to dominate the rest of the world. Roman, Greeks, Huns, Prussians, Saxons, ect. It’s a huge list. And how civilized were these hordes? They proliferated the single greatest plague known to humanity, the Bubonic Plague. Who found the cure for the Plague, the Moors – who were African.
The mentality that has created some of the worst conditions and history in Mankind can be summed up as such – European Whites believe themselves to be elite and superior, thus they fought near continuous wars across every part of the world they found. In each part of the world they brought disease, and with their barbarism forced their system of life onto every other culture they encountered. They stole nearly ever advance they could understand and militarized it. The effects are still reverberating across the world.
That is history.
In more modern times we have seen a slow progression towards understanding other cultures. America lags many nations in this effort. Our separation form the rest of the world has allowed us to be isolated and retard our interactions with other cultures. Thus we have never fully unified as a nation of multiple cultures.
Where, Christy, is the responsibility of Whites for the enslavement of Africans? The Government has never offered an apology – and the mere mention of such an act enrages millions. One of the greatest peacemakers ever known was Dr. Martin Luther King and it took over 20 years to provide him with a holiday, which was fought severely against by politicians in office right now like Senator McCain. It’s still a holiday that is not fully observed throughout the nation. Is that responsible?
Christy, you seem to think that the stereotypes of African Americans are true. Yet you ignore the great actions that African Americans have made throughout the existence of America. It was Blacks who learned how to provide blood transfusions that save millions of lives a year. It was Blacks that created the stoplight ensuring safe travel for tens of millions on our roads each day. The list of inventions and advancements is to long to list, and I bet you can’t name 2 of them.
And I again present you further facts.
That says nothing of high school shootings – never committed by a Black or Hispanic child even in inner cities where guns and drugs are easily available – or acts of terrorism by fringe groups – like those that lead to the Oklahoma City bombings.
Christy, you don’t see the truth because you chose not to. You allow the major news media to deceive you. You cannot accept the responsibility in front of you because you are too busy heaping blame on others that aren’t exactly like you.
Christy, I accept that there are some African Americans that are not upstanding citizens of America. I accept that there are some that are not nice. Just as I accept that this is true of every race and culture. Yet I also accept that Whites in America overwhelmingly have more issues with people of color and are more violent –even against themselves – than ANY other group in America.
And the fact is that when given facts and examples of how lopsided the landscape is people like you, Christy, chose to wrap themselves in a blanket of old half-truths and misconceptions rather than deal with the situation.
I’m glad to say that most of the Whites I know are not like you Christy. They are good people that give respect to anyone that deserves it. They do not have rules or criteria for each color of person they meet. They deal with all people in the same manner, and can admit that some people are just trash – even if they are White. You are not among those people Christy.
I have lived or traveled through about 1/3 of this nation, I have lived overseas. I love this nation with every problem we have because it is the greatest in the world. But I am not in denial that through all those travels and experiences in my 40 years on this planet, there are some that dislike me just because of the color of my skin. I have had those experiences up to this year, and in reading your comment I am sure that my nephews will have them as well, sadly.
Christy, the point is not that all Whites are bad. It’s not that Whites have a history of barbarism and violence. It’s not that America seethes with an undercurrent of racism. But it is the point that reality is warped by the media in an effort to disguise the issues facing the nation, and to allow those with a mentality like yourself, a mentality that is better suited for the 9th century than the 21st, to be able to sleep at night.
I sleep well at night knowing the truth. I have no fear of people because I see and know the truth. I have friends of ever nationality and color found on the earth because I accept the truth. I have a full life and success because I do not deny the truth. Can you say the same, Christy?
July 23rd, 2008 at 12:34 am
Yes, I sure can. Go ahead and spew all you want, and have whatever opinion that you want. I will have mine, and I share that opinion with alot of others.
I am sure there are blacks that contribute to our society, and have done good things. So have white people, or have you forgotten that?
About apologizing to blacks about slavery. I will do that as soon as they apologize for enslaving the Israelites.
All the black people I have known in my life have always had a “The world owes me a living attitude”.
I did not grow up sheltered, in fact I grew up in San Diego. It was about as culturally diverse as one could get. I have only been in Utah for a few years.
I come by my opinions of black people, from my own personal experience with them. I do not go by what the government or what the media says.
I have a full life, and I am very happy with it.
I find it funny that because I have the opinion I have, I must be ignorant or somehow not worthy of my opinion. Feel the way you do I could care less, I feel the way I feel and it wont change.
I am not ignorant, and I dont owe black people a dam thing. I am where I am because I have worked for it, and my husband has worked for it. We dont take from people, and we dont wait for people to help us.
I do what is right for me and my family, so yes I sleep very well at night. In fact I am about to head to bed right now, safe in the knowledge that tommorow I will still have a loving husband and great children. A life that I love living, and a life that I have earned!
Bye Bye bitter little man

Thank you Christy. I thank you first because I won a bet on how quickly you would respond to my response. Secondly because your logic, specifically when it applies to the Bible, gave me the best laugh I’ve had in maybe a week.
Now you may feel I was spewing, but had you paid attention you would have noted that I was responding. And responding directly to your attempt to malign all the African Americans in this nation. In fact your words fit in a slur on all Negroid people in the world.
When I dislike a comment or slur, I address the person who made it, in this case you. If you took offense to that, well then your morning coffee is working. Unlike you my posts and comments are available to the world and I do not smear whole groups of people though I do highlight wrongs but not without cause or reason.
Now I agree that you have an opinion. And as you obviously noted I did not edit or restrict it in any manner. If I highlighted it as a source of illogical thought, that is my right, and I did not force you to expose your small-mindedness. If you thought that somehow I would buckle under your thoughts of implied superiority or self-worthiness – you seriously failed to read or understand what I write. If others you speak with on these subjects agree with your bewildering misstatements and flights of fancy, well it only proves my point on how sad race relations in America really is today.
Setting aside your mob mentality justification, which is the same mentality that justified lynching and prevented that from becoming a crime where children were brought with a picnic basket until 1922, I will correct another point you try to make. There is no question of the contributions that Blacks have made to America. Had you done a simple Google search as I mentioned you would know that.
You don’t need to be “sure there are blacks that contribute to our society” since it is a fact that has existed long before there was an America. The good that Black people across the world have done is fact and even history as recorded today cannot hide that truth.
I never denied that there are Whites, Asians, Indians, Aborigines, and so on that have done good in the world. There are so many that have contributed to the benefit of Mankind. But unlike you I do not wallow in the thought that any race, ethnicity, creed or whatever is subordinated or inferior to any other. And having read facts and history I know that the above is true, it seems from your comments that you still don’t. So no, I didn’t forget but have you ever learned that?
Now for my favorite line of your comment:
“About apologizing to blacks about slavery. I will do that as soon as they apologize for enslaving the Israelites.”
First I was not addressing Ancient history, but the relative recent past of America. 400 years is not ancient, and certainly not some 2 millennia ago as your refer to.
As for the Israelites being enslaved by Egypt according to the Bible, which is the reference you seem to be making, check your facts. It seems you are presuming that the Israelites were White, which is a lie. As the Bible clearly states, Jesus was an Israelite and had hair of wool and skin of bronze. Now considering the accepted region of Jerusalem, and the description of Jesus and other Israelites I can clearly state that Jesus was not a European blonde White man. He wasn’t any kind of White, or Caucasian if you prefer, at all. Read that Bible passage again and you should realize that Jesus looks more like me than James Caviezel or Max Von Syndow. He was an Arab descendant, which means he was Negroid and therefore Black. Amazing what reading will teach you.
So in effect if any one is to apologize for the enslavement of Ancient Israelis it would be Blacks, specifically from Africa – thus you aren’t owed a word on the subject, by your own logic.
Where is my apology though? The reality of Slavery in America is well documented, as is America’s resistance to admit any past wrong. Trying to sidestep that point with your illogic does not shield you from the facts and truth. You may want to try to insult my intelligence, but please try harder at least.
Now you may indeed only know of African Americans that have succumbed to the ‘America will take care of you’ philosophy you seem fond of spouting. I can only presume that you know very few African Americans though. If you know 10 I’d be amazed. Even moreso if you actually spoke to more than 5. I bet you are the type of person that would count ‘knowing’ a person of another race or creed because you may work in the same office as them but never actually spoke to them. I could be wrong, but you strike me like the type.
Now let me pause a moment. I come from New York City. That is the most diverse place I am aware of in the world. Every culture, race, ethnicity and so on live mere blocks from one another. As such I have learned from all types of people and cultures – which have served me well in my travels across the nation and world. Because of my experiences in dozens of cities and numerous countries I can say that there is no singular type of example of a group of peoples. The educated people in the world would agree, which I do not count your statements to reflect.
My friends, whom I speak with, have lived with, have dated, and debated with are of every type of human being on the planet. They don’t agree with every position I have. They don’t accept every view I present, and can counter some views I have with equally compelling facts. And that is why I love them all. They can offer a valid, logical, opposing view and disagree with me – without trying to insult an entire race, or me. You obviously cannot.
It’s nice to know that you feel your life is full. Ignorance is bliss and all that. Except that ignorance is the lack of knowledge, and you have been given that knowledge. Thus in failing to accept that knowledge you qualify for the definition of stupid. And I suppose stupidity makes one blind, which can be as good as bliss perhaps.
But have no doubt; you are entitled to your opinion. It is a right guaranteed by the Constitution and Amendments, enforced by the blood and sweat of millions of Americans – White Americans, Black Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans and every other American since the inception of America. So don’t feel threatened because this Black Puerto Rican man is willing to tell you that if you aren’t ignorant your words do a wonderful job of making you look it. [And by the way that is my opinion – don’t like it, hit the X in the top right corner of the webpage.]
You don’t owe me anything Christy. I never said you do. In fact I have clearly stated repeatedly that your expectation that I would say such a thing is false and tunnel-visioned. I have said in various posts that America, particularly the Government, owes an apology to the descendants of the original slaves. I have said that as part of the sincerity of that apology reparation – akin to the reparations given to Asians due to WWII internment, and descendants of Native American Indians – are a positive and can be done to the benefit of the nation.
But Christy, you don’t owe me anything. Nor do you owe my mother, sisters, brothers, cousins, uncles, aunts, a 3rd cousin twice removed, the city of New York or Kansas anything. Only a mind so full of itself would assume that millions of Americans would have any idea you exist at all for no reason at all. As the saying goes, get real. Your comments annoyed me momentarily but if you think that you made a difference in my life or that of those I call friends then you are beyond self-centered, in my opinion.
I never questioned where you are in life. You have a husband and children. Whoopdeedoo for you. I didn’t ask, I don’t care. If your volunteered information does anything for me, it makes me hope your children will be more open minded and understanding than you apparently are. If you don’t like that statement then you should have left them out of it, but I am not attacking them – I am addressing you.
I’m glad you believe you earned the life you have. Your implication that I have not goes further to state your stupidity when it comes to who I am and what I do. It shows your disdain of my abilities and dislike of my success. But again, you ain’t God nor close to Him. So I really don’t care how you sleep or what you think. I didn’t ask for your opinion specifically, nor your open-ended attack on all Black people in the world. But I will not stand idle while you try to puff up your life at my expense. You found the wrong blogger.
So sleep well, try to hurl the best insults you can (and honestly I have really heard so many better ones, you could have at least worked on that a bit) and go on with your life. Never come to my blog or any post I write, or visit often and squeeze in a comment when you feel brave enough. I won’t stop you from doing either because You, Christy in Utah, are not who I hope to speak with on my blogs. You do not represent the tens of thousands that read my posts each month in over 115 countries around the world.
I write for the readers that agree or disagree with my views. I stay up late researching and reading and watching news for minds that are open and intelligent and inquisitive. I enjoy reading comments that dispute my findings and challenge my convictions. I love a respectful question, or a strong willed honest opposing view. And I cherish respect.
So Christy, you can call me bitter. You can avoid addressing the facts and views I present. You can insult me and everyone that looks even a little bit like me. You can squirm in your apparently repressed petulant stupid mind. And I’ll keep writing for those that are not like you.
And I’m eternally grateful that the people I do write for, the majority of America and the world have so little in common with you.
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:40 am
LOL, so you made a bet about me with someone else. That tells me how truly pathetic you are. I am a housewife, so yes I get on the computer in the morning and the evening to see what was said about me.
Honestly when I picture you I see a sad little man, who although educated, probably goes around talking down to everyone he knows and putting on an air of supieorority to everyone who comes in contact with him. If you are married I am more then sure that your wife is very happy when you go to work.
The opinion that you have does not suprise me, nor does your resonse to me. That is the way that most liberals would respond. If you think that you are in the majority though you are wrong. Talk about not being in touch with the rest of the country.
Last time I checked New York did not represent the rest of us, in fact I would say that the opinion of most New Yorkers (notice I did not say all) does not reflect middle america.
I will raise my children with the same beliefs as myself. That hard work will get you where you need to go in life. That a strong work ethic and the way treat your family are some of the most important things in this world.
I honestly dont care about the plight of african americans, it does not affect me therefore I dont care. I mean when you have Bill Cosby and Obama both saying that they need to take responsiblity for themselves, then I guess I could not have been that far off the mark. Like you say that I am.
You can spout all the supposed facts that you want too, I could care less.
Oh yes and to the fact that you would be suprised if I knew more then 15 black people. My sister and my brother both married black people, I know them their families and their children. I would say I know atleast 30 (lol).
I dont hide my views, I make them known to anyone who asks. If people dont like it oh well I could care less, they are mine to have.
Have no fear I would never ever in a million years be scared to respond to anything that you or anyone else writes about me. I grew up scared of a man who abused me as a child, if you think your words or your attitude would frighten me into not responding you are sadly mistaken.
In closing I would like to say I stand by my original opinion, and mark my words the way that things are going now with the blacks and the rest of society will be the downfall of this country.
Everyone is so busy trying to be politically correct, we are backing ourselves right down into hell and we dont even know it.
Oh yes, and about the Isralite thing. They are jews are they not? Lets see, my mother is jewish which makes me jewish, so yes I will be waiting for my apology. I did not know there was a time limit on how far back you could expect an apology. I was also unaware that you were able to make the timeline, your self importance is staggering.
Go back now to your pathetic lonely self important exsistence. I can guarantee that when I leave this world there will be people and family there who loved me, you I am sure will have your articles that you have written and if you are lucky maybe your mailman.
Buh bye

That all you can say? This is getting boring.
Learn to read, because if you did you would know I’m a Republican and Conservative.
And I’m not surprised that like many racists you could care less about facts – thus the difference of stupidity rather than ignorance as I stated.
I never asked about your work or your religion. My comments were to a different point. But you are jewish, honestly it really doesn’t matter. It seems obvious that your bile requires you to try to minimize others. I would feel pity for you if I cared about you.
You are so self-absorbed that you can’t understand the words that I have written, nor the importance of other human beings. Christy, you are a repugnant being. I feel sorry for family members that have to deal with you at family functions. But it’s nice to know that at least part of your extended family did not receive the deficient genes that you carry.
And yes Senator Obama, Dr. Bill Cosby, and others including myself have addressed issues in the Black community. None of them had to insult a race of people to make their points. Of course that is no different than any other group in America, in fact (I know you ignore facts) due to sheer numbers White societal problems are more prevalent and numerous. But the media attention does not highlight that aspect of reality, thus the point of my original post – which you strayed from since it seems you have no counter argument for it.
Your opinions, and those that share them, make me almost wish I would vote for Senator Obama. Having a Black President would likely cause some of you to kill yourselves, a bit of Social Darwinism improving the human gene pool. But one could only hope.
But again I will say please try harder. If you really want to insult me you need to first learn some reading comprehension, then logic. Of course that requires facts and intellectual work that I fear is above you, perhaps your children could help you?
I won’t continue this flame war, it really has detracted from the point I was making and you really are boring. Live secure in whatever racist dream you wish to have. Blame the ills of all time on whomever you do not understand or dislike. You are an old relic, little better than a bad joke repeated without humor.

I am done with you also, honestly you are just a racist black man. Nothing special about you, you think that if people dont share your opinion then they must be wrong.
I notice you said nothing about the blacks owing the jews an apology, gee I wonder why?
I have a little bit of bad news for ya Mike, no matter what you think about your “white” friends. I am more then sure that when they are home alone without you in thier prescense they share their true feelings for black people.
All the white people that I know (which is alot) are sick to death of hearing about what black people have to go through. Thier lives are so hard and us whiteys just dont understand it. Guess what we dont care enough to even try to understand you people.
There is no way you can convince me or any other white person that the blacks arent violent. How do you explain all the civil wars in africa and all the killing, the aids epidemic? We dont need to do anything to any of you, you are doing it to yourselves. You have a barbaric mentality and you always will.
How about before we blame the whites for slavery, you look at your own people WHO SOLD YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE.
I am done with you Mike you are irritating and a blind moron if you think white really feel like you.
It is a white thing you dont get us and you never will, thank god for small miracles.
How about you leave us alone and we will leave you alone, keep to your own kind and we will do the same.
Yes, I am a racist and not scared to say it. I dont care if you respond to this or not, I will not be back on this page. I am no longer interested in giving you a soapbox to put down white people.

Kay,
First, please leave the vulgarity out of your comments. I’m sure that you are smart enough to think of words that can convey your thoughts without going into the gutter. In the future any comments containing such language will be deleted.
I never said that Whites are the only people to commit school shootings. Though I only am aware of one case since shool shootings began where Whites were not the shooter. So, in fact, color is in this.
And as you probably read in my many replies and the original post, Whites are the most numerous violent criminals in America. That is fact.
If this post has angered you, ask yourself this: Why does a reality make you upset? Are you more comfortable thinking that non-Whites are more violent? If so, why does that comfort you?
And David,
Yes it is. I hope that it is leading to introspection and understanding though.
