This sort of thing makes me sick. [/quote]
Any type of crime like this makes me sick. Whether white vs black, black vs white, black vs black, white vs white. Attacking an innocent person is just bad.[/quote]
The two females should have never gotten out of the car…tough to not do it, but at least they would not have gotten knocked out.[/quote]
The big question is what if they didn’t. Would their husband/father be dead? Who knows what would have happened. Why did he not pay at the pump?[/quote]
I believe they were waiting in line to pump.
The fact that the station owners would not talk to the media or the cops makes it pretty clear who is running that neighborhood.[/quote]
I believe the station owner did talk to the media, they just didn’t want to be on camera. Can’t blame them; I wouldn’t want this to be my 15 minutes either.[/quote]

all current regressions of any black person today are morally ok since someone’s great grandparents did something wrong to someone else’s great grandparents. Logical

I don’t think that is what X is saying. Pretty sure he is just making the statement that it has happened in the past, fairly extensively in certain areas.
The two types of hate crime by whites and blacks in America will never be equal. It can’t/won’t be as long as one is a minority. Even if the populous scales were (theoretically) significantly shifted to somewhere near equilibrium, blacks have that history of prejudice that would still influence perception of crime committed today.
To argue sensibility and a sophisticated attitude where both kinds of hate crime should be firstly recognised as such, and then looked equally in disdain is a necessity for a better society in the future. But that’s rational and hence theoretical, not to mention ambitious considering America’s powerful history of racism. BTW, I never knew how bad it was (and still is, although to a much lesser degree on the whole) for blacks and Jews (who are also ironically targeted by both blacks) in the USA.
And that’s not to say the rest of the world is any better, although there are some model nations like mine and Canada. But to be the so-called global example of exceptionalism and “freedom,” you’d expect better.

I dont know what he was saying, but if a black gentleman got into trouble in my neck of the woods, he could count on my assistance.

I would expect the same in reverse.[/quote]
You have a neck of the woods? I thought you were international?

Even then, in some parts of the woods your word carries more weight than in others?

I always thought Austria looked more like a pancreas than a neck.

I hate you.
So, any black gentleman, please make sure that you indeed are one, who just happens to get into trouble in the pancreas that indeed is my country…
And if this happened to a conceal and carry person you would be dealing with 2-3 dead black people at the hands of a white man.
Media frenzy ensues, man loses his job. Gets hate mail, death threats and has to move.
Why is the USA so backwards regarding such things? 3 pieces of shit attack somebody and they get away with it but wo-betide the white man for defending himself.

Hard to fathom such a scenario. If he was carrying he’d probably make that evident as the argument escalated (this wasn’t a hit and run assault - they were trash talking beforehand). Only way they all die is if they all charged him, knowing he had a weapon (yeah…). If they attacked him at once he wouldn’t have a chance to shoot them. And I highly doubt it even reaches the point of the assailants attacking the wife and child if he was carrying (scare them off, shoots one).

I live just south of Memphis and have been in some bad parts of town on varying occasions. I always carry (with a permit and extended carry license) no matter where I go. I’ve found you don’t have to be in a “bad area” to need to defend yourself. I’ve been carrying for almost 4 years and pulled my gun twice. Luckily the miscreants quickly ran both times as I really never want to have to shoot anyone if not necessary.
That being said I don’t know of many who are going to brazenly stick around looking down the barrel of a gun. Just a shitty situation all around.
