Insert Heath Ledger as "The Joker" clapping clip here.
Really, this just dawned on you; that we're being manipulated by the press? Shhhh, don't tell anyone else.
If you come to a conspiracy site, you should already trust no one.
There is no revelation here.
The folks who see the flag as a symbol of their heritage are going to be extremely upset about the push to have it banned... it will not end well, I assure you. Knowing how dearly some people view that flag, it certainly won't lead to less violence.

So white on black "terrorism" is the biggest threat facing blacks in America?
Surely you must be joking...
There was a time in this country when parts of most towns were considered unsafe for people of color. Now the exact opposite is true.
Do I ever worry that someone will attack me just because I'm white? Very rarely. I do, however, have to look over my shoulder quite often because someone might attack me for what's in my wallet and the fear is much greater in certain parts of town. That's not racism, that's a self preservation method based on facts.
If you honestly think that black people are going around in fear of whites, you're very far detached from the actual emotions of this issue and in your efforts to fight this ideological fight against racism, you've lost sight of the reality of crime and murder rates in this country.edit on Thu Jun 25 2015 by DontTreadOnMe because: replaced long quote with REPLY TO Quote Crash Course

If you have to do a Google search then that plays right into their hands.
Then what happens? "The top trending search on google is..."
Don't google unless its absolutely necessary-trust me.
It's the easiest way to find local news stories from other areas that never made it to the mainstream national media.

The FBI isn't a scientific and impartial source of social statistics, OP.
But here's another report from the FBI:
RACIST ORGANISATIONS HAVE INFILTRATED THE POLICE FOR YEARS
(that one you won't care much about, I presume)

What does that article have to do with the topic?
What are you implying with the part in parentheses?
Is the CDC also reporting their murder numbers incorrectly?
Do you have anything at all to back up your claim that the FBI numbers aren't accurate or are you just posting a drive-by criticism with no factual basis?
Did you notice that the article you posted has used a report from 2006 as their only source? I also detect some serious bias on that website you've used as your source but you start your criticism by claiming that the FBI is not impartial?
You'll have to try harder than that to present a valid argument.
