Truth. Old people were respected and then old people would also discipline kids without Karen coming and defending her children either.

When you say people like me, I hope you know this isnt some movement.
Yes, it is. You don't have to answer to someone to be part of a movement; you just need to do what a lot of others are doing. And that is exactly what you are doing here.
Case in point, this violater guy. I dont care or know who he is as a person, but the reality is, the thing he said and his way of thinking that sprung the thought is, in fact, racist.
I don't think there's racism there at all. This story is from the United States, as I'm pretty sure Violator1 is as well. Therefore, in the context of the United States, the statement he made is true: there has not been the kind of systemic white-on-white violence like we are seeing in the inner city. Black-on-black crime is a pretty damn big issue for anyone who isn't a racist... it's killing off people at a high rate, and the vast majority are black! The KKK in their heyday couldn't do any better!
Your examples were all from other countries, specifically countries which are not integrated. The United States is quite integrated... likely the single most diverse country on the globe. You even mentioned China and the Middle East... two of the most racist areas on the globe... as examples of why Violater1's statement was false.
Violater1 recognized the problem as a problem. You essentially tried to shut him up by accusing him of racism for doing so. Now, who has the black inner city dwellers best interests at heart? The one who recognizes there is a problem so it can maybe be addressed, or the one who wants no one to speak of it so it can continue unabated?
You have placed yourself in the latter category, whether you intended to or not, and whether you realized it or not.
And I decided to call it out. We dont look for racism. We just see it.
"We"? I thought you just said you weren't part of any movement. But you now admit there are others who actively seek out racism like you. Hey, maybe if we get enough of them together, we can make sure than no white person ever speaks to or comes in contact with a black person again! That seems to be your goal... why else would you make it so difficult to talk by jumping on every possible syllable as "racist"?
You see what you want to see, or perhaps what you expect to see. Either way, you initiate a self-fulfilling prophesy: more racism. Racism thrives in isolation, and the easiest way to isolate people into separate groups is to show them how much the other group must hate them.

This is you excusing racism by saying "you see what you want to see" and "its a movement"
Are you okay?

Bad parenting isn't limited to one race, but when a piss poor excuse for a parent is faced with the realization that their child is a monster, because they sucked ass as a parent, they lash out and say stupid things. After you have heard these excuses long enough, you can expect the excuses before they even happen. This one did not disappoint. Do you think a white person is not capable of saying "My baby dindu nuffin"? Of is that vernacular owned by people of color?
If you think it is, maybe you need to look inward to see what racism looks like.

This OP is nothing to do with race, it's about the tragedy of criminal teens, who don't run with the same basic rules about old people that previous generations did.

Go run that type of talk by a Black person & see what happens ?
Your token Uncle Remus is showing… maybe Disney could hire you as a brain trust for a new more racist Song of The South show ..?

If you knew who I was and who my family was, you would realize why I think you are an idiot. I asked, they all agreed. bad parent. I even asked the really dark ones.

Use your talent were you got it , besides arguing with a genius like myself hardly qualifies as a job.
You should protest Disney to re-release The Song of The South … you may attract David Duke in your campaign & secure a job with him .
The context of that slur was a racist one & you know it .

This is clearly not normal behavior and cannot all be a product of social issues and hanging out with a bad crowd. This girl needs psychologically evaluated.
Sounds like grounds for a Southern uprising.. ? Are you really trying to be serious with that story ?!

Nothing happened. What was I supposed to expect? It's only on social media that they flip out and act like badasses. I did fire a black guy once for bullying everyone and having several complaints filed against him. He started fast walking towards me like he wanted to fight so I took my cap and expensive watch off. He got in my face for a second and said he'd be back with his friends after I closed the store for the day. All I've ever experienced is a bunch of bluffing and have never seen any action unless there were a group of them.
Totally agree. The kids who were 'bad' when I was a kid in the 70's and 80's, are now the parents of 'bad' kids, with grandchildren I now expect the same.

bingo.
skin color isn't the issue here, the lack of empathy, humanity, or human behavior is where the real issue lies. And when you see a 14 year old kid was out at 2:30 in the morning, really bad parenting springs to the forefront of possible reasons why.
