Perhaps I spoke too soon.
I can hardly wait for the day when these groups like the new BP's and Nation of Islam, end up as insignificant as the KKK and white supremacist.

I realize that this is a very tender subject. But as I have observed lately, it seems to me that race relations have gone to a new low in the US. Both blacks and whites are in the streets. Revenge beatings and murder have occurred on both sides. We are at a tipping point. The most troubling aspect of the new tension seems to be coming from agitators who for the purpose of personal power and gain are stirring the pot of racial anger. I think we are on the edge of a very bad setback for race relations in the US and for a possible race war among blacks and whites, and possibly the latino community.
What, if anything can be done to stop it ?
What if anything can be done to prevent it from happening again ?
Is it time to have racial education classes in our schools ?
I'm gonna give you what I feel is the most honest answer, as I do a lot of work with black and latino youth groups and such, so I see where it's going.
A worldwide epiphany or distraction is the ONLY thing that will stop this race war. This was predicted by Malcolm X over 50 years ago, and it is now coming to pass.
How can there be racial education classes when schools are trying to wipe ethnic backgrounds off the map period? There is also no such thing as an expert on a particular race.
I can honestly say as a black man, that living, being involved, and knowing when to stand back and take a look has shown me that as sad as it is, integration wasn't the most successful thing....
TPTB have been stirring this pot very well for the last few years (since the Jena6 trials) and it's now boiling over. A race war is exactly what they need, to bring about martial law. If we never saw the excuse they would use, this is it.
L.A style riots in multiple cities across the country simultaneously, people would beg for military intervention.edit on 9-4-2012 by My.mind.is.mine because: (no reason given)
How are ethnic backgrounds being wiped off the map? Examples please. Are you forgetting all the special days set aside for minorities? Blacks have a whole month dedicated to them.

You think white supremacist groups are insignificant? You are confused my friend hahaha. If a race war does happen white people are gonna be just fine, white supremacist groups have bunkers and well stocked militias ready to go. Personally I'm glad to be on their side if something like that does happen.
will pass a law banning guns. This will escalate into full on civil war, in which the clown in the White House can suspend elections, and declare himself Dictator (temporarily, of course...wink, wink). They will bring in even more troops, and the war will be bloody, long, and this country will never be the same.

Come now you think anyone is going to be handing in any guns because some pen pushers say so after a revolt has started.

Lenin lived long after Marx. Karl Marx was not around to give his opinion and anyone could speak in his name.

I dont know where you live. I do know I am glad I do not live there too. Where I live, which is in the south, I see improvements in race relations over what they were even 20 years ago when I first moved here. The people of my generation, (baby boomers) strive pretty much to live above this issue. We are the hippies and love in people from the 60's and 70's. Our goal then was to make skin color as irrelivant as eye or hair color. We opened the world to interacial love relationships and marriages.
That being said, yes there are still many whos views are very old fashioned or whos ideas about the opposite race are just wrong. A lady that I work with, who is the same age as me, but grew up here in the south, while I grew up in the north in NY, had very different views as a child then I did. She was basically told that blacks are different from whites. She would never have considered going into a swimming pool where black people were swimming because it would have been like taking a bath with a black person. She was taught that they were germy, that they smelled bad and you would smell bad if you used the same pool or shower or bathroom. Really this is the truth. She of course does not believe this today. We've spoken many times about this and she tells me stories from when she was a kid. Her parents who are in their 80's still believe all that crap. The reason behind the seperate water fountains and all that was because whites really believed that blacks were going to make them ill if they touched them or used the same facilaties as them. Not that the color would rub off although I bet there were some who thought that too.
Thankfully the contagion of these beliefs is dieing and most folks today do not believe this silly crap. I say one more generation maybe not even one and most of these beliefs will have died away.
Then all we'll have to do is get the message out to the rest of the world in regards to relegion or any other issue that keeps us seperate.

The government had nothing to do with it or little to do with it.
The issue has been taught to generation after generation. The father taught the son to hate the man who is different. The son taught his son. The views of the family were passed on to the next generation until we get to now where some will still think these old views are correct but most will know them for the lies that they really are.
Have you seen any racial riots lately ?
