If the msm is indeed adding fuel to the racial tension, then threads like these are fanning the flames.edit on 8/7/2013 by muse7 because: (no reason given)edit on 8/7/2013 by muse7 because: (no reason given)

Well many white people don't like the 'black power' chant and find it offensive.
Finding something offensive isn't the same as a racial slur. Do you even understand the definition of a slur? I think you don't nor do you even want to.
Evidently this guy found it offensive but being as he was drunk, that probably altered his decision making.
He didn't whoop up on the black dude for chanting black power however.
It was the black dudes that beat him senseless when the white guy said 'white power'.
Finding something offensive isn't the same as a slur. One party screamed "black power" the other "white power". The black skinned folks didn't call the white skinned folks some disparaging name and vice-versa.
O.K. for guy to say black power.
Not O.K. to say white power, or you get your azz kicked and put into hospital.
Wasn't arguing the morality of it. Just saying it isn't a slur. They screamed their "primal" battle calls and that is all.
Police say after the racially-charged language, two black men kicked and stomped the victim, who witnesses say was drunk at the time.

The only race war happening is the one inside a small percentage of sick minded people with some very deep rooted issues of self righteousness and self idolizing, both are very scary things to have.
Seek help.
This is honestly 3 very immature, narrowminded people having a difference of opinion, that's all it's ever been, people having a difference of opinion, to say it's anything else is to be part of the problem.
It is terrible to hear people chant racial slurs like 'black power', but in Little Rock of all places, the white guy should have thought twice about responding since he was by himself.
And if he was drunk, well he really didn't have a chance.

You stated this in your OP:

You said slur sir....I wouldn't have called it out otherwise.

Try again....the article you linked never used the word "slur".....sorry strike three. Have another excuse?

It has a lot to do with your comments. By claiming it was a slur (only the "black power" portion mind you) you created this aura of a perceived racial charged situation. SO yes, your words matter in this situation, just as much as you made the words matter that were never claimed to be a slur...that you claimed you never said....or you quoted....or that the person that called you out was a big meanie.
Understandable and I hope you see why I honed in on it and why I pressed it after you made several excuses for it. A simple answer, as you did in your latest post of it was a mistake would have saved the last back and forth for me.

There is a race war being waged against white people, and the main stream liberal media and other liberal activists have been promoting that for decades.. It's okay to admit this since everyone already knows it is true..
Many of those groups need racism to flourish in order to continue profiting from it..
