Tim, who cares about some crazy loser's 'manifesto'?

By reporting on it the media is giving him exactly what he wants.  I couldn't care less what his thoughts on race are.

Nice gesture.

The tragedy that rocked Charleston, South Carolina three days ago has resonated throughout America. For Panthers owner Jerry Richardson, it prompted a specific act of generosity.

Via Panthers defensive Colin Cole's Twitter account, Richardson has donated $100,000 to the victims of the mass shooting, with $10,000 to each of the families of the nine murder victims to help defray funeral costs and $10,000 to the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church.

"Some things are just bigger than football," Cole wrote. "Thank you Mr. Richardson."

Anyone interested in making a contribution to the Mother Emanuel Hope Fund can do so by following the instructions here.

That's the guy who actually wrote back when a kid wrote to all the teams to ask which team he should support, right?
Cool guy.

My thoughts exactly.

Yeah, I mean if I wanted to read essays on race in America, I'd turn to Cornel West or someone like that who actually has spent a career studying it... not some piece of shit racist twerp who's done nothing but play video games for his short, worthless life. 

...and Tim, to be clear, I don't mean to come across as picking on you for posting that, since your Languish role is resident newsboy, but it just irritates me that the media give losers like this a platform.

"But what about the White people that are left behind? What about the White children who, because of school zoning laws, are forced to go to a school that is 90 percent black? Do we really think that that White kid will be able to go one day without being picked on for being White, or called a "white boy"? And who is fighting for him? Who is fighting for these White people forced by economic circumstances to live among negroes? No one, but someone has to. "

Some support for my thesis.

Your thesis being?

He had bad experiences in a majority black high school or junior high.

So it's the fault of black kids? Or of the system?

You've exposed me Marty.  I was trying to dress up my position in ambiguities, but like a laser you've cut through my obfuscation.  Yes, it was all the fault of black kids.  In fact, I think everyone who gets badly treated by a black kid has the moral right to shoot one random black person.

I don't know if he went to a majority black school, but apparently he lived in a majority black area.

It could be the same thing as that dude who went around shooting hot women at the gym because he hadn't had a date in like 10 years. He said he had a couple hundred thousand in the bank and he worked out, so it must be a conspiracy of good looking women not to give him the time of day.

The psycho doesn't fit in because he is psycho, and he blames others for his inability to fit in.

[Martinus]

I just don't understand why that point is relevant, unless you actually want to make it relevant.

If someone points out that, say, Hitler had bad experiences with Jews, then this would not be an innocuous observation, but a loaded one.

George Sodini.  There was clearly something wrong with that guy... he had put up YouTube videos and by watching them you could tell he was 'off' somehow.  I'm sure it was even easier to pick up on in person than via an internet video.

I mean, he's right.  The most charitable interpretation of your post is that you think there is a natural animus between races, and that in a desegregated society anytime one group outnumbers the other, or possibly even is forced to mix with the other in any way, the natural reaction is hatred.

Point out the post which is open to this charitable interpretation, please.

This "discussion" is great.
