On the day of the Isla Vista shootings, a bit of news was put out but was quickly buried by the "media" attention given to the shooting... Obama administration proposes race-based legal system in Hawaii [link to www.foxnews.com] "President Barack Obama’s administration has quietly suggested it is willing to create a two-tier race-based legal system in Hawaii, where one set of taxes, spending and law enforcement will govern one race, and the second set of laws will govern every other race. The diversity proposal is portrayed as an effort to create a separate in-state government for people who are “native Hawaiians.” |

Basically, judge a tree by it's fruits. If we are reduced to judging by "appearance"... 6 And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the LORD'S anointed is before him. 7But the LORD said unto Samuel, "Look not on his countenance/appearance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man; for man's eyes on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart. After this, you will see that Samuel could accurately "see"... 8 Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, "Neither hath the LORD chosen this". 9 Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. And he said, "Neither hath the LORD chosen this". 10 Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse, "The LORD hath not chosen these". 11 And Samuel said unto Jesse, "Are here all thy children"? And he said, "There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep". And Samuel said unto Jesse, "Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither". And then David came. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 61548419 people who are constantly calling on protection of their constitutional right should be more vocal in this regard. Your definition of "protesting" is completely whacked. There is a difference between "rebellion" and "protesting". Unfortunately, many shills are being paid to get others to rebel.... If you want to destroy, burn, beat, maim...what do you expect? |

Had this been an unscripted event it would have started and then stopped. Not paused and restarted up every night at 6pm just in time for the evening news. This reeks people. I hope you keep your wits about you. |

Quoting: boowakasha It is almost like the underlying message is, "if you are white and in any position of authority, we will not recognize you or think your voice is valid." How exactly is this not "separate but equal" by the black community? Should it be the case then that whites not accept any authority that is black? Or asians not accept any authority that is black or white? Isn't this just local government sponsored institutional racism? Does this signal that we are entering a new balkanization of our society? Smh. the german/dutch people from south africa are trying to take over america to install a system of apartheid they pretend to be the best friends of black people and use the uncle toms to manipulate them |

I am not sure however, whether we have fully appreciated as a country the idea that "white authority" in whatever form you wish that to be will simply not be tolerated by these groups. At that point, the earlier poster who referenced South Africa might be correct. Although I morally disagree with apartheid, the backlash in the other direction against ethic whites feels eerily familiar to the undercurrents here. It seems to be a version of this: [link to en.wikipedia.org] While there is nothing wrong with giving people all the tools to succeed, the mantra that if they want to police us, they have to look like us, is really troubling. Is it an Obama thing? I would way he is the tip of the iceberg. A more salacious question, is: when do we start to label these teachings in the black church with the same domestic terrorism mantra that we label the militia movement and the teaching of certain mosques. Is that even appropriate? |

They fight in other ways. The poor get used to handling things on their own, fights, etc... The laws, and respect for them are viewed totally differently depending on your status. |
