Race Wars vs. Class Wars: 2012's issue of the year?

Which will be more prevalent in this coming year? We have the race wars with the Treyvon Martin shooting. Or the Occupy Wall Street looks to make its come back when the weather gets warmer and the hippies start camping in the streets again?

I don't think Obama can campaign and suck up to both movements, or can he? I don't think Amurrica has the attention span to dedicate to both movements.

Race WaRZ!!!

 

so the occupoo people will just kind of go away? will they not organize again?

 

The idea that there is a race war is silly. I can see how it could be a campaigning ploy though for this desperate Republican field.

 

You don't think there is an impending race war with this Treyvon thing? the voices and shouting will become louder and louder.

here's a hint: its not coming from the Republicans. Race wars inspire white guilt, which will drive more votes for Obama.

 

i cant pick what i like more, war, poverty, or racism, thank god we have the gop to give us all 3 at once!

 

I thought it was interesting that you and Papa were the only ones to mention racism in the Zimmerman thread

 

well, us and all the media and protests about this being about racism. the point being is if you are defending Zimmerman, the "obvious" conclusion is you are racist, so its a bit pre-emptive, so to speak. the majority of our arguments were based on facts and evidence. the media has been trying to paint Zimmerman as a white guy, when he really isn't.

 

I don't see any race war stuff. I do see the left continuing to promote class warfare, but that's been their sound bite for the last 20 years or so. Especially if the Supreme Court overturns Obamacare. There will be a lot of fear mongering going on.

As far as the right, I think they'll hit hard on the economy, housing... things like that.

 

interesting indeed

"the left is making this about race!"

 

I thought Zimmerman was a german name. My understanding was that he could be heard saying "coon" on the 911 call.

 

So the Class Warfare will continue?

 

could not be determined.

 

yeah, but you would be wrong:

I just worry about my family and myself. The rest of you bitches can suck it!

It's shocking that even today people continue to hate people for their different backgrounds. And that we worry about fixing problems in other countries, helping the needy their while ignoring our own at home.

 

So far, right now the buzz topics for the election year are:

Gas Prices
Race relations
Class warfare
Unemployment
Housing Market
Healthcare
Economy

anything else?

things that aren't as relevant: Terrorism, illegal immigration, Banking/Financial Collapse and Green Energy.

 

What the hell? Members of Congress were saying it was a hate crime. That's implying racism. To not comment on it seems like putting your head in the sand.

 

TheSebastianExpress basically called me a white supremacist, or at least I think that was the point she was trying to make. I still haven't figured that one out. Something about Georgia?

 

TheSebastianExpress is an idiot. Disregard anything that she types, because it's all based in emotion.
