The short answer is that people with low levels of literacy also have low levels of knowledge
you might throw in there, also, the work of the advertising agencies.
once the people are dumbed down, once they become dependent on television, they are exposed to the work of madison avenue.
if you've ever tried to follow the logic of a commercial, you'll realize that logic has nothing to do with selling something... that shit is aimed right at the mammalian brain that houses our instincts, and if can short circuit our new brain, the one that does the real thinking, so much the better.
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.
The truth will out, as some old geezer once said. I personally don't see any sense in liking or disliking a person based on nothing other than their race, while I see a great deal of harm in the government and other powerful institutions trying to forcibly prevent people from noticing that social engineering more often than not leads to conflict.

whatever. your opinion. well, i've got one too. i think you're pretty arrogant with your assertion that the majority of contributors to this discussion are of lesser intelligence or consciousness.
Because as a police officer I witnessed the people you hold close behave like animals. I'm guessing you have never been in a slum and seen their handiwork.
Here's some stats, Mr. Angle. I hope they don't disturb your sensibilities.
Now I'll ask again, what is it about that kids story that is sensational garbage?
Police and the justice system are not biased against minorities.
Crime Rates
Blacks are seven times more likely than people of other races to commit murder, and eight times more likely to commit robbery.
When blacks commit crimes of violence, they are nearly three times more likely than non-blacks to use a gun, and more than twice as likely to use a knife.
Hispanics commit violent crimes at roughly three times the white rate, and Asians commit violent crimes at about one quarter the white rate.
The single best indicator of violent crime levels in an area is the percentage of the population that is black and Hispanic.
Interracial Crime
Of the nearly 770,000 violent interracial crimes committed every year involving blacks and whites, blacks commit 85 percent and whites commit 15 percent.
Blacks commit more violent crime against whites than against blacks. Forty-five percent of their victims are white, 43 percent are black, and 10 percent are Hispanic. When whites commit violent crime, only three percent of their victims are black.
Blacks are an estimated 39 times more likely to commit a violent crime against a white than vice versa, and 136 times more likely to commit robbery.
Blacks are 2.25 times more likely to commit officially-designated hate crimes against whites than vice versa.
Gangs
Only 10 percent of youth gang members are white.
Hispanics are 19 times more likely than whites to be members of youth gangs. Blacks are 15 times more likely, and Asians are nine times more likely.
Incarceration
Between 1980 and 2003 the US incarceration rate more than tripled, from 139 to 482 per 100,000, and the number of prisoners increased from 320,000 to 1.39 million.
Blacks are seven times more likely to be in prison than whites. Hispanics are three times more likely.

I prefer the term "mentally handi-capable".

'll be blunt here....the BS meter is bouncing red ....sort of like Jews who paint swastika on synagogues
I think (know) swelling of ruptured tissue occurs within ninety minutes to a few hours, like two, or much less, of the original injury.
The reason is that the vascular system is ruptured and the bloodstream floods into the region of the injury.
Causing fairly immediate swelling of the sensitive area around the eye, which is well supplied with blood, so the swelling would have happened quickly.
It is unreasonable to believe the photo would have been taken quickly after the alleged assault.
Maybe I am wrong.
Too bad the MSM has destroyed its credibility - it is not my fault.
WG'ers normally disregard stats that don't conform to their racial view. They also tend to have lived a sheltered life, gaining whatever racial view they hold from MSM propaganda.
which probably explains why six million jews still died in death camps after the auschwitz death toll was reduced by 2.5 million (in 1995) and ground- piercing radar can detect no mass graves at treblinka, where supposedly another 700,000 jews died.
by the way, if i dont hate jews, along with not hating blacks and hispanics, does that mean i hate myself three times as much?
I think comes from a lesser intelligence or consciousness.
The reason you are feeling out of place on this board is because of the high level of intellect of most posters on this board. Racism has nothing to do with it. You do not understand people who think on this level or you wouldn't post such a ludicrous comment. Or you are just a troll. I don't which is true, but I would like to think you are just a little slow rather than being a troll.
i'm not the one criticizing you, angle. you're the one who's finding fault with what i post and with my free speech policy. and you know what, everyone, whether they admit it or not, is racist to some degree. no one is totally color or culture blind.
Your free speech seems to lend itself to crying about being called on posting this sensationalistic garbage and then ignoring the fact that the racists are crawling out of the woodwork. Free speech...ok, but posts like this promote racism.
Maybe you think it's perfectly ok. I think comes from a lesser intelligence or consciousness. I'm sorry to see it here in such a majority.
A. I wouldn't call it a majority.
B. Free speech is just that free speech. Protecting the speech of those with whom we violently disagree is necessary for their to be truly free speech.
Frankly I look at it and note it as the irrationality that it is and comment where I see necessary.
However, having it out in the open also makes it easier to combat where it occurs, BUT I think most thinking adults have gained enough knowledge to recognize, even when they speak wrongly, that racism and bigotry are false idols.
As well people identify with those groups to whom they feel members and tend to oppose or remain neutral on those they don't.
It is always acceptable to root for the "Home Team" and most do - whatever that "Home Team" might be. Catcalls at the other side of a debate can be acceptable, and must be allowed for open debate, if they remain civil - however ill-founded they might be.
Vituperation achieves nothing, not that I can't be snotty, but I always grant people the right to their own opinions even when I disagree and think them ignoramuses.

In your twisted view, people who don't automatically hate a person because he's black, jew or wealthy are suffering from a delusion. You're sick and hateful, I'm sorry to conclude. I was mistaken to give you as much credibility as I once did.
Maybe you and your gang will run off people who don't think like you. Then looky...you get to run your own forum without having to do any of the work and christine ever knew what hit her.
Then you and your likeminded people can crow about how bad everything is with no solutions and you won't get any disagreement. Hate black, hate hispanic, hate jew and nobody says boo - perfect "free speech". Kinda like FR, but there's no Jim Robinson to shoulder the blame.
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.

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?

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.

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.
