Hmm, I don't get why he keeps saying white people.

I mean, both white and black and any race of people are feeling the effects of the Obama administration. Why are white people only going to riot?


He seems to be appealing to a certain demographic, some of which has really encompassed this site of late. He's particularly saying exactly what they want to hear and thus, while he plays the race card with his you-are-the-real-victim rhetoric, it is acceptable because of what he applies it to.

Apparently "White America" is the only America affected by this progression of failures that had begun long before Obama came into office, and if they riot it means something must be bad. It'll be more amazing and meaningful than the "Black riots" this pastor seems to think. It must be taken serious and not dismissed. This is why he focuses on pointing out for some strange reason that "White folks" are enraged.

This man is a buffoon.

Anyone unemployed because of budget cuts, under paid, unable to find a job, foreclosed on, and marginalized by our government and its decisions is enraged. That isn't the problem of just one particular race in America. It is the problem of ALL AMERICANS in general.

This isn't a "White folks" pity party its reality and if people hate when other groups play the victim card they shouldn't be hypocritical when they feel slighted and do the same as if their perceived pain is somehow more real than anyone other persons.

This pastors ideology is divisive, and his interpretation of who is affected by this country is racially dubious. He's playing the race card of the "oppressed white majority" by using the skin color of the president and idiotically implying that Barack Obama is somehow the President of "Black folks" not the United States as a whole and any citizen within it's territory.

With all the birther threads, overly dramatic reverse racism whining (White men picking cotton soon?? come on), and just outright transparent baiting going on, ATS is continuing it's decent into the political toilet bowl.

I beginning to wonder if it is even worth contributing to.

Couldnt disagree with you more. ATS is one of the best political sites out here. People are actually expressing their word. Just b/c of rugged speech or whatever doesnt mean people are stupid or the talk is down the drain.

You, my friend, are cynical

Cause there is mad racial tension built up in America. Im from PA (yay) white, and so many white people hate black people because of the firemen thing (thats recent, this hatred lies deep) for getting scholarships when there's a white child more deserving, for slacking at jobs, and in general skirting around the "system" that yes its more beneficial for the individual to skate around it as much as possible, but you dont do it because its wrong. tired of them selling drugs (you should see how the parents around us react to mary jane, and they should)! and 60+5 of the time in the areas blacks sell it. the "hiphop" culture encourages this, and the white parents around here hate it. They hate rap cause its curses and anti-Christian rhetoric. they hate that every time they say these things blacks call them racist!


I think you are making a lot of assumptions about black people and populat culture in general. Do you think that drugs are only sold by black people? Do you think that the "hiphop" culture only includes black people and that there are no white people? How many black families do you know personally? Just denying ignorance here, but not all rap music curses, just like not all country music is about being drunk or having barbecue stains all over your white tee shirt.

Frankly I doubt every blue collar white man up there sees things the same way as you do...

No not every black does this, but theres a trend with it. Or so the white people think. At least in my experience.


Since I doubt you have done a behavioral study on black people or conducted an opinion poll of white people I'm going to just assume that you are just giving your personal opinion on this one.

If whites riot, it will be more fun. Why? cause we work harder


Even if it were true that "white people work harder," how would that make rioting more fun? Your thinking seems pretty disorganized, no offense.

Wow, just because some people agree with what he said doesn't mean that they are going to riot in the streets. Use your common sense.

I make it clear in there that its all my perspective. i never said 100%, and i thought i tried to make it clear that it wasn't. I repeatedly alluded to my "limited experience" with the whites of America, which is significantly greater than the foreigner that I responded to.

for the record, I know on a personal basis two black families. Boooy am I racist, 10% of Americans are black, divide the 2, i should know 30 black families intimately!

3rd, about the black drug dealers, not true at all, once again my personal exp from my town.


last post was a joke. riots, although they could be fun ( i wont use can because I have no personal experience), and Idk if it would be more fun with whichever race. PS i think the Asians work the hardest, but that would be purely theoretical rubbish just spewing out of my mouth. BUT...would anyone agree with me?
