There will never be a "race" war.
There may be a break down of law and order if ebt ever stops, and in the ensuing anarchy people may organize along racial lines, but that doesn't qualify as a race war. There always have been and will continue to be racial tensions, but I find the idea of a "war" somewhat laughable.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Your logic is flawed. You are assuming that you will have the choice to be a righteous warrior defending blacks and whites alike from the racist hoards. That's not how it's going to work. People on both sides will side with and fight along side others of their kind because they HAVE to, not because they want to. The most ant-racist liberal will be faced with the choice of fighting against the opposite color or being killed by them. DO you honestly believe that blacks will leave you alone if you prove you're one of the "good" white people? That's insane. You will either fight for your own people or you will be killed by the others. Simple as that. If there is a race war it will be extremely short lived and extremely violent. We have the numbers, we have the guns, we have the higher proportion of combat arms veterans, and most importantly, we have the ability to unify and organize. It will be a slaughter. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
Race war? No, and here’s why… Hygens Labidou. Probably no one here remembers who that is but he was the subject of an ARFCOM thread a few years back. Simply put, he is a Black man who was confronted by two White men. Apparently the White men threatened him and tried to drag him out of his work truck. One other important fact about Hygens Labidou is that he was a concealed carry permit holder. As I recall the surviving White man was charged with felony homicide and Hygens Labidou wasn’t charged with anything. So, what was the reaction to this on ARFCOM? As I recall I was his harshest critic in that he failed to kill both of the attackers and now we have to keep one of them locked up for a few decades. The point to this as it relates to a race war is that one side in this potential race war is more interested in actual justice and fair play than they are in racial politics. Yea, I think about half of the Black population is pretty much worthless, but the other half is made up of some damned fine people and I would defend them from some mob of White racists just as readily as I would defend a White person from a mob of Black racists. And I’m pretty sure this is the opinion of the majority of White Conservatives. And on the other side I have trouble believing that the worthwhile half of the Black population is going to throw in with a bunch of lazy criminals and start a race war. That leaves the worthless half of the Black population, and they all know that the only reason they aren’t starving is that the mainstream population pays their way. Any of them with any sense know that all the racial outrage is just a way to keep the benefits flowing. No, there won’t be a race war. There will be more of these stupid racist attacks. Then people will get tired of them and start cracking down big time. There might be a couple of riots, but nothing major or long lasting. Your logic is flawed. You are assuming that you will have the choice to be a righteous warrior defending blacks and whites alike from the racist hoards. That's not how it's going to work. People on both sides will side with and fight along side others of their kind because they HAVE to, not because they want to.

Very prison like where sides are forced based on color. Sub groups form off that, but still the color remains. |

If (huge if) anything were to step off, it would be the producers vs the eaters (race not really a factor). The eaters would start it, the producers would finish it (absent the government throwing in on the eaters side). |

Blacks make up approximately 1 out of every 8 Americans.
They are not spread evenly around the country, they tend to live in neighborhoods with lots of other Blacks. Militarily, those Black neighborhoods could be considered strongholds, or they could be considered target rich environments. If those neighborhoods had their power/water/sewage cut off from outside, they would turn into death traps in short order. It does not make good military sense to openly fight when you are that badly outnumbered. The only way Black America could win, or even get a draw, would be to divide non-Black America and get some domestic allies. Or some serious foreign support.... I am NOT urging a "race war". I think the whole idea is stupid. I don't want to live in a country that is at war with part of itself. I am pointing out here that Black America has fewer military advantages than the Confederate States had, and look how that turned out. |

"Scientific rigor."
Statistics aren't "science" any more than opinion polls. Physics is a science. Chemistry is a science. Poli si is not a "science," nor are its practitioners "scientists," despite the misleading title. I used to be in a library science program, as well. Yeah, it's not a "science," either. I'm not claiming the various social studies (poli sci, sociology, psychology, history, etc.) aren't useful: I'm saying it's misleading to call them "sciences." They're not. And you know they're not. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I defend my doctorate in political science next month, and there is plenty of scientific rigor in the social sciences to call it a science. Maybe you should have studied methods more closely. "Scientific rigor." Statistics aren't "science" any more than opinion polls. Physics is a science. Chemistry is a science.

Blacks murder 2.2 times as many whites as whites murder blacks, but the white population is 5.7 times that of the black population. 2.2 X 5.7 = 12.54.
A randomly chosen black American is 12.5 times as likely to kill a white person, than a white person is to kill a black. Here's some more detailed calculations: Total number of blacks murdered by whites in 7 years = 1,543 1,543 ÷ 7 = 220.43 per year average White population = 223,553,265 223,553,265 ÷ 220.43 = 1,014,169 Thus, there is a 1 in 1,014,169 chance that any white American will murder a black American in one year. Total number of whites murdered by blacks in 7 years = 3,382 3,382 ÷ 7 = 483.14 per year average Black population = 38,929,319 38,929,319 ÷ 483.14 = 80,576 Thus, there is a 1 in 80,576 chance that any white American will murder another black American in one year. 1,014,169 ÷ 80,576 = 12.58 So the chances that any randomly chosen black American, will murder a white America, in one year, is 12.58 times higher than the other way around.

IMO I don't see an all out race war but more like a long
drawn out insurgency. Sorta like what we have now except it may actually be acknowledged. I do see whites acknowledging it before the media and Hopefully we/they (de whites) will actively start fighting back. I' m ready to hear someone with clout stand up and say BULLSHIT! we're tired of this shit, fighting back isn't racist. Standing your ground and protecting the lives of you and your family isn't racist. Defending your property isn't racist. Killing a killer isn't racist. |
