"The phrase “the natives are getting restless” emerged from racist colonial origins. It sets up a scenario where wise, cool minds are overseeing and running things. And there is a more “savage,” “uncivilized” set of local people, the natives, who are seen as subordinate. Who deserve to be ruled by the lighter-skinned European colonists."

shrug...

I wasn't going to make that assumption since I don't know what started that fracas, but sure...there's a possibility that people in that video are racist.
 
Anyone who posts threads like this one and then uses the term "the natives are getting restless" is speaking very loud and clear...............

 
The intent of the thread and the intention behind the words, the OP could not have made it more clear how he views an entire demographic.
The demographic here, from my point of view, is city dwellers. I live in a small town and this shit just doesn't happen.

Nah, it is them black people that is racist like in the video. No white person would ever behave that way, no sir, just them black people.
 
To the OP:

If you want focus on black people committing crimes, I have the perfect site for you:


A bit too many stories about Trump on there for your liking, but if you scroll down you will see all kinds of crimes committed by black people as well as crimes committed by white people. Some pretty horrific crimes.

You can then select the ones that you find fits your view of the world and post a few more of them. Pick the appropriate ones. BUT please notice how those crime stories are presented..............

Never is there a headline about "natives getting restless" or "black thugs" or even "nasty white dudes". THEY manage to present their stories without the racist tropes.

If YOU really don't see how your selection of THAT video coupled with your headline speaks to who you are, the rest of us can plainly see who you are...........

It matters not to me how you justify how you phrase things.

The harsh and direct truth is the phrase "the natives are getting restless" has roots, and then used across history, by a majority to refer to some other group in a socially and/or economically subordinate position where some percentage of them respond to conditions in a less than acceptable way. But by phrase applied to the whole.

Mob mentality exists across all demographics, does not make any of it acceptable, but you effectively outed yourself going about this thread in the manner that you have.
 
The natives are wondering where a certain someone hid his incontrovertible proof of massive 2020 electoral fraud. That someone has been asked for five years now where the evidence is but he refuses to say. Instead he posts racist videos while talking about puking.
 
Must be "midsummer madness".

This kind of stuff is just vaguely racist pornography, almost voyeurism.

There's almost a sick pleasure people get from watching mass racial mob violence, feeling it justifies their belief in blacks as being a permanent underclass of violent criminals.

That belief is problematic, but what's worse is this kind of pornography is just blanketly regressive. There's no suggestion or prescription on how the apparent issue should be resolved, just the borderline self abuse of watching something you think is an issue over and over again.
 
I didn't even want to click on the video because I can already imagine WHERE that video was found by the heading "Black mob". In fact, the proper heading for this thread should have been "Thugs Are Getting Restless". After all, thugs is NOT a racist term, is it?

Of course, it doesn't.

You won't let reality get in the way of your spin and nonsense.
 
Best comment so far on the reasons someone would post a thread like this.
All you needed to add is how quickly anyone who posts threads like this one will become defensive and petulant.
 
This thread is going down river quickly. Only way to save it is have a few more of that ilk jump on here and rub their hands in glee at seeing a video of a "black mob" beating up white people.
 
This is a good way to describe the situation. The video is pornographic to the OP’s social demographic insofar as repeated viewings of such a video likely elicits feelings of sexual pleasure. Watching it repeatedly brings them ever closer to some kind of release.
 
Of course, it doesn't.

You won't let reality get in the way of your spin and nonsense.

Your "reality" is a 2.5 minute clip, where you do not know what happened before or after, and applied it to an entire demographic via a phrase you picked as the thread title.

It is not spin nor nonsense, you outed yourself... good luck with recovery backtrack mode.
 
Happened here. And while I sure as hell don't condone the response/beatdown, if this report is accurate, I'm not shocked.
But what initially started the altercation, and who said/did what is to be determined.

But assault charges should be an order for sure.
 

It's perfect slop for the contemporary right which is chalk-full of depth groveling idiots who are only capable of being perpetually critical and regressive, but completely unable to offer prescriptive solutions to problems.

I'm even someone who would be willing to have a conversation about the massive discrepancies in racial criminality, which is obviously an issue. I just won't have that conversation with room temperature IQ anti-intellectuals.
 
The demographic here, from my point of view, is city dwellers. I live in a small town and this shit just doesn't happen.
LOL! Yeah, there are never white people targeted in small towns.
 
Not even that Fox link describes a Black Mob or suggests that The Natives Are Getting Restless.
