I disagree, both in this case and generally. The implication is generally pretty racist. In this case, he wasn't just making an observation, he was attempting to use it predictively (that due to lack of racial diversity, the same thing wouldn't happen in Portland).
Well, I don't think that is entirely disaccurate. 1. Do you think similar riots would happen in Portland? 2. Why or why not? Sure the implication racist, but it doesn't not make it possibly true.
For what it's worth, this was Montreal after the Canadiens won a playoff series: Although, it should be noted that French-Canadians are the Mexicans of Canada.
I'm guessing blacks and Mexicans tipped the car over, this guy, and all the white people in the background probably just showed up afterwards.
Culture is not race. I'm starting to lose my faith in you my great white brother. Not a lot going on upstairs. We need typical intelligent whites.
I already addressed this, much earlier in the thread: You're conflating two different issues and using them to create a racist proposition. There probably would be less/no riots in Portland, but that's because LA is a much larger urban area. Such areas tend to engender more violence due to greater disparities in income level and more densely packed populations. Larger urban areas also tend to be more racially mixed. Just because larger urban areas tend to have two characteristics (greater violence, greater ethnic diversity) doesn't mean that one characteristic causes the other. That's equivalent to saying that basketball players are tall and basketball players are also rich, therefore greater wealth leads to being taller.
That says more about the economical struggles minorities face than that one race is predisposed to violence over an another. Shit. I'd say caucasians have done their fair share of violence over the years. The KKK, Nazis, government-supported slavery, and hell even historical factions of Christians in the name of God have spilt as much or more senseless blood on the Earth. To chalk up an action to a skin color is just retarded to me. You've got to look way beyond that and analyze where these idiotic actions developed from.
If I saw some white people in those pics, I would have never said anything that I said in this thread.
First of all, you did not claim skin folk. You are not a skin. Second, what drives culture? Race. Next?
You're talking about an isolated area of neighborhoods around the Staples center. LA being really big doesn't really have that much to do about it. Sure, there are more people but I don't think the same kind of reaction, even on a small scale will be the same. Look at New Orleans during Katrina....is that a large "urban" area? But go ahead and continue seeing the world with a blindfold on. But yeah, I put this more on L*ker fans being low class trash than them being black/mexican. Its part of the L*ker culture...raider fans and dodger fans are generally the same way....and it is a stereotype of the "cholo" (read: MEXICAN) sport fan in LA. Even other L*ker fans get annoyed by the cholo-factions in LA.
Do you see any fires or any people in danger in this pic? But I will say, I do not agree with tipping cars over. And you indeed do not know who tipped the car over. So please, do not assume. There is very well a chance that it was blacks or mexicans, just as much as it was white people.
I would think that to be true. And that just offers further proof then that there would be a higher propensity of minorities that are affected by decades of poverty, and in turn are raising children differently than those that are better off. It's amazing what people do socially and culturally to fit in, to survive. Some families find ways to get away from the pull of poverty. Some don't. Poverty, culture, environment makes the man, not skin color.
Race has nothing to do with culture. France and England have different cultures as does Spain as does Canada. (All of which should be wiped out and the inhabitants should be made slaves for the master American race) but still, they all have entirely different cultures and are all caucasian majorities. You're a very poor racist.
Keep making lame excuses. What I see is a giant group of white people surrounding a tipped over car. You can jam your head further in the sand if you are so inclined.
