Draft horses, all legs inside the harness, when they "jump the harness" they get one hind leg outside the harness and that is a bummer. Everything comes to a halt, with much swearing etc etc.
you might throw in there, also, the work of the advertising agencies.
I have at times - just not this time, but I do agree.
we have to assume that commericals have two aims: first, disable the centers of critical thought and logic, and second, drive straight into the part of the brain where our basic instincts lie.
That is basically what is occurring. I don't agree with the materialist view that we are purely creatures of chemical reactions and meat but that is another debate.
Are you familiar with the work of Edward Bernays?
"The difference between an honorable man and a moral man is that an honorable man regrets a discreditable act even when it has worked and he is in no danger of being caught." ~ H. L. Mencken
now then, do you want to admit that a huge majority of the american population, white, black, or whatever, have been subjected to enough television to render them incapable of logical thought?
are you willing to admit that those people will be more susceptible to crackpot white racist theories that say "any white person that does not hate blacks hates themselves"?
so we are allowed to not hate black people who conform to white cultural norms.
so we can decline to hate some black people, and still not hate ourselves.
boy! that's a relief.
i was about to waterboard myself.
The society is defined by its common culture which is neither white nor black. However, where that culture has norms established - such as the golden rule, standards of dress and conduct and one defines one's self by the recognition of those standards.
What generates unity and cohesion in a culture is the recognition of those norms. One can still have one's own sub-culture within a larger culture but one ignores the common norms at one's own peril and detriment.

that the majority of contributors to this discussion are of lesser intelligence or consciousness.
You're perfectly entitled to think what you wish. Blantant racism says much more about the racist than it does about the observer. Arrogant is something I don't really tend towards.

I have argued as much repeatedly. I stopped watching television years ago now. My total TV viewing in a typical year is less than 20 hours (except in a good college Bowl Season).

I don't believe that was Cyni's point. While I am loathe to tell other people what they think - as I interpreted Cyni's point it was more a matter of some White people who feel guilty for being white, and presumably more priveledged, and thus make excuses for minorities who violate civilized standards of behavior excusing under whatever rationale - often to the point of denigrating or rejecting their own group, excusing the behavior regardless of the crime, and thus the term "White Guilters".

There's your problem. Statistics do say something and the educated attempt to interpret their correct meaning. Hence my question. If you don't know the answer, it's okay.
As far as why I labeled the story as sensationalistic garbage, I refer you to Michelle Malkin. I think she is someone with whom you may relate:
So basically the kids story doesn't fit your racial template, so you blow it off. Same with raw crime statistics, they don't fit your racial profile, so you disregard them. Very, very open minded of you.....
I'm glad you're on the other side of the fight, Mr. Angle.
our heroic white culture has been so good at demonstrating their belief in the golden rule, especially in places like vietnam, afghanistan and iraq.
You falsely associate the actions of an out of control criminal government with the culture. The two are not an identity - something which you likely know and hence your argument is knowingly false.

We need to do one study on the effects of forced bussing on whites for instance.
Bussing (to achieve artificial racial balances) has devastated public education in America and blacks are still underachieving losers, and here you are asking for more breast beating sorrow about the conditions under which poor downtrodden blacks labor?
And, BTW, it's only American born blacks who "suffer" these crushing effects of "racism". Caribbean blacks have incomes roughly equal to whites while American blacks just can't seem to find that ladder of opportunity.
It seems that too many blacks have embraced the status of social cripples and intended to milk it for all its worth.
And you seem all too happy to assist in that white guilt campaign.
"Defensive racism" is defined as "the desire to secure a future for our children" and in our own country the mere utterance of that phrase is some kind of "crime" to those who absolutely demand that whites be held down and carefully watched.
Well, fuck them.
we ain't cringing at the charge of "racist" anymore.
I'm not going to apologize for being white or having white children, and, if they mean to have a war then let it begin here.
In the mean time why don't you do a little research and try to find a black/colored abolitionist movement anywhere in the world before whites started it.
And then explain why slavery still exists in dark countries just as it did when slaves were brought here.
And, why aren't you shaming some darkies for that obscene state of affairs?
Why do you seem to prefer browbeating the hard working whites who have elevated (with our tax dollars) American blacks to the healthiest, best educated and wealthiest in the world?

i spose somebody could make the argument, now that our glorious white civilization is threatened by oil shortages and climate change, that the so- called primitive people were right all along.
i spose the argument could be made that the most rapacious and aggressive of us were driven, by our neighbors, out of africa so long ago that we no longer have the need for dark skin.
i spose the argument can be made that, thanks to the white man's cleverness, billions of people will have to die before the human population approaches sustainable levels.
but i spose we can kill off the colored people of the world to make room for ourselves.
Bingo! These spineless white wimps have enabled the culture of poverty by making excuses for crime, laziness and drug addiction. I bet Angle has never been forced out of his neighborhood because it 'changed' and whites became unsafe. He, and his band of useful idiots, should go on a road trip to West Philly, Bushwick Brooklyn and finish up in Mayor Ray Nagin Chocolate City. Maybe they can stretch their legs and get to meet the locals and report back to us on the needs and wants of the under class. I won't hold my breath. The gutless ones like the safety of their white enclaves, where they can preach ethics to we, the uninformed.
would you like to explain the popularity of video games based on killing things wholesale?
They were seeded into the culture. Most of the "kill, kill, kill" games were originally developed by the military because it is unnatural for most people to kill another human. The military set out to solve the problem of soldiers who would not "kill the enemy". My father was a Marine in WWII and saw some of the worst fighting and killing and I guarantee you the internal scars were much worse than the ones that earned him 3 Purple Hearts.
The computer games were developed and released into the culture to make American youth more willing to kill as cannon fodder.
Madison Avenue is only the visible influence - the same techniques and tactics are at play in conducting social control, perception management, and enslavement of all us "useless eaters".

so you're agreeing that american culture is violent.

that is a heck of a display of lesser intelligence and consciousness, dawg! well done.
so you're agreeing that american culture is violent.
How incredibly tiresome - you insist on trying to put words in other people's mouths.
Human Culture is, and has been violent, through the centuries of human history and it is not limited to "American Culture" or "White Culture" or "Black Culture" etc., ...
The common element is irrationality. War is not rational and is generally inspired by a small percentage of the population.
You are engaging in false logic, and you bear all the hallmarks of a professional disinformationist/disruptor.

seeing as how we're gonna have to exterminate colored people to make room for whites
What's this "we" shit?? Again, go back to your FBI handlers and tell them you need remedial training in infiltration.

who said anything about shooting blacks or exterminating blacks?
i did.
the atmosphere you seem to encourage in this forum lends itself to stirring up race hate that can be exploited, turned into vigilante action that will justify a declaration of martial law.
all of this has to happen pretty soon, i'd say within a couple generations, maybe much sooner, or the govt will no longer be in control.
at which point we'll see ethnic cleansing in america like we've seen in iraq.
tom, i was being facetious. angle made the assertion that the majority of those contributing to this thread are of lesser intelligence and consciousness. i thought DAWG's post was discerning.

There's your problem. Statistics do say something and the educated attempt to interpret their correct meaning. Hence my question. If you don't know the answer, it's okay.
Here's your problem, angle. You can't accept facts being facts, reality being reality when those facts and their reality challenge your world of left wing pseudo-intelligentsia who pretend they are breathing rarefied air because they alone are so special and so insightful.
The answer to your question is NO, NOOOO, NOOOOOOO - got it? - class has nothing to do with the stats Jethro presented or otherwise low class whites would also have similar high crime rates. You do know that there are poor whites don't you??... well, perhaps not, there are not too many poor whites hanging out at coffee houses and poetry readings where super duper intellectual leftie whites hang out.
You'd need to visit places like Oklahoma, Kentucky, South Dakota, Missippi, Idaho and the front lines of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars to bump into poor whites.
And furthermore, fyi, Dr. Walter Williams PhD, who certainly meets your criterion of being smart ( and he's black to boot), happens to agree with Jethro's stats being reflective of race not class.
