Minstrel, as usual, you're a fantastic communicator and thinker. Ok. Done stroking your ego for now. Another aspect happening, IMO, is that this socioemotional (not sure if I just made up a word there) release, when shared by a large group, turns from a simple display of exultation, to an (unconscious?) violent protest of suppression and built-up angst.
If I showed you picture of Christians burning "free-thinking" women at the stake, would you generalize that Christians, or for that matter, people of faith, are all deviant pricks?
You misunderstand me. Race is only involved, within the borders of the United States for what we're talking about, because the lower-income urban centers of major metropolitan cities are populated with a greater concentration of minorities. And this isn't because non-white skinned people are more apt to genetically be poorer (make decisions that keep them impoverished) than whites. It's because of decades of white-skinned groups prospering at the cost of minority groups.
My writing typically speaks for itself. Sometimes my mind moves faster than my fingers. You know. Much the same way your mind jumps to prejudiced conclusions before exploring whether you've concluded correctly. Believe me. It's not the cape-wearing lunatics I'm worried about. At least, with them, I can tell who I'm dealing with.
The influence of being born below the poverty line is the direct culprit here. Period. That influence would affect a social group of purple martians if they were plopped down in South Central for generations. There are many factors at play, but this is the most responsible one.
Do not encourage him. It only adds to his power... and I think there's a good chance he's smarter than all of us (combined). He's just luring us into a false sense of security before he takes over the world (or at least this message board). Mark my words, he's an evil genius. J/K Minstrel, I'm being led into the slaughter house with a false sense of security just like the rest of the poor fools here on the board.
