I'm pretty much as liberal as it gets on most issues and hate the "gun culture" with a passion. I really don't get why it turned into a wedge issue and got co-opted into republican politics so thoroughly.

vxskud posted:What is up with that fantasy anyways? It seems to be pretty common among Freep types. It's an old man's fantasy. They're passed the prime of their lives and a number of people look back with regret that they either didn't serve in the military, or never served in combat, or whatever. Most people who feel that way throw themselves into a charity, or they join the local Rotary Club, or otherwise channel it into a healthy activity. Guys like you see on Freep go a different way and start fantasizing about their own personal Götterdämmerung against the overwhelming forces of whatever it is they don't like. It allows them to imagine a way to end their lives and silence their regrets by casting themselves as sword-swinging crusaders, the last of the true, standing tall against the forces of darkness. It's really very sad and juvenile.

How long have people been worrying about a "race war"? I remember back in the 90's hearing the phrase constantly, as if it were a possibility. The hubris necessary to claim American whites are the equivalent of 1930's German Jews is astounding.

What is the story with all these "flash mob"/state fair threads? Are white people actually being beat up by blacks, or were some mofos at a state fair just made uncomfortable by the Negritude of a crowd somewhere? I would think there would be NONSTOP TV coverage of the former, especially on Fox, if it were actually happening to any significant degree?

Drudge posts at least 1 article per day (every single day) about violent black mobs going after innocent whites. There's 4 up there right now: 'Mob' beatings at WI state fair... Fairgoers 'pulled out of cars'... 'Hundreds of young black people beating white people'... 'They were just going after white people'... He's been doing this for several months at the very least. If you get all your news from drudgereport or similar sites, you would probably be lead to believe that race riots were happening every day.

They use a lot of dog-whistle code ("welfare queens"), overt yet sarcastic code ("the amish"), and "almost the n-word but it's not so it's totally ok" ("spear-chucker"). It's plausible deniability at an extreme level.

perianwyr posted:Oh, not being a habitue of that kind of place, I thought perhaps the Amish were sick of taking poo poo from us English and actually rising up. Thanks for ruining my fantasies. The 'joke' there, to be clear, is that they always complain when the news doesn't put DeShawn Jones' ethnicity in the headline. So they say "Golly, I can't wait to see a picture of this urban youth, I suspect he must be Amish!" Same when they are being cute about a potentially Muslim perp. "Maybe he's Lutheran!" Never realizing that they only read about Black/Muslim crime because they only read Freep, and Freep editors wouldn't post local news stories unless it is a Black or Muslim perp. Makes it all the better when on early news of the Oslo shootings, there was a healthy helping of "I bet it is a Blond Blue Eyed Norwegian Christian /sarc off, I really think it was a Muslim" posting.

Pon de Bundy posted:What do you have to post on FreeRepublic for a mod to delete it? "Whoa whoa there fellas, strongly hinting you'd kill and lynch black people is okay, but for God's sake don't SAY it." I think it has to actually have the word "friend of the family". Like, if you said "Hey, stop giving those niggers a hard time, they're not all bad" It'd probably be deleted. However, "Someone should kill all those spear chucking coon monkeys" would probably pass muster.

Watermelon City posted:
I don't know about that entirely; why yes, in the antebellum period there was a prevailing conception of the slaves as infantile/loyal/contented, as has been mentioned above that lived in constant tension with the worries about another Nat Turner, Denmark Vesey, or Gabriel Prosser (to name only the most prominent). Going back even further, American slaveholders were keenly aware of/terrified by the bloody slave uprising in Saint Domingue starting in 1791, especially when it ultimately succeeded and founded an independent Haiti. Freepers seem to me just to be the latest, and likely fattest, incarnation of chronically frightened American racists.
