I didn't think you'd get it, Brakes. You see....whites don't need to form a mob...they can just call the fucking cops. So much more convenient than getting their own hands dirty.
And then a whole bunch of cops just blow away a guy armed with a fucking pen...and you're okay with that.
Min,
The difference between your examples and mine is direct racial causation. Whereas your examples have a factor of racism, they are not the only factor. You've yet to show us any concrete examples of a INNOCENT man being mobbed because he is black. There is no white counterpart to the roving black racist mobs. There is no white counterpart to the attack on me in a black concert. Cops always at least start with a perceived crime. They will overlook a completely innocent black man. These black mobs do not overlook a completely innocent white man.
I think it's odd that you would believe the blacks in America aren't more racist. They are raised from parents who really did receive the brunt of white racial bias and bigotry and they grew up in a tough economic environment looking up to white republican privilege in government and amongst themselves they assuage themselves with claims that all of their failures are the fault of the white man's oppression.
Do you really think that the black people of today don't grow up racist against whites? You must think they are quite the magical people. They are just like we are, if they think somebody hates them for their skin color they hate back because of the other's skin color. In your last cartoon, what do you think a black person's feelings would be seeing that cartoon? Do you think that cartoon would incite harmony or reactive racism? Go back and reread the cartoon from the prospective of a young black man. Tell me if it would incite you to go beat up a whitey. That cartoon was written by a white man to other white men to teach the awfulness of racism. We do that now because so many of us see it as a terrible thing. But where is the "Tom the Dancing Bug" type cartoon written by a black man directed at black men's racism? Doesn't exist yet does it?
So far, Whites are the only group that is experiencing profound self reflection of the evils of racism, It has not gotten to a popular movement in the black communities yet. It's easier to for the oppressor to forgive and forget than the oppressee.
