Kentucky's Mall St. Matthews Shuts Down After Brawls Involving Up to 2,000

I've just discovered Colin Flaherty's YouTube channel, which has a video compilation highlighting no less than FOURTEEN incidents of Black mob violence at malls in just THREE days: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joA3h5OS24k (one of these incidents was in my hometown of Newport News, VA...it's SO embarrassing, as it's actually a decent place to live, from what I remember).

He's dismissed as a racist, of course, but he's highlighting something extremely important which far too many Liberals want to ignore. It's notable that Allan West and Thomas Sowell, two Black conservatives, support Flaherty's work. But of course those two men (and likely myself as well) would be shunned as Uncle Toms for daring to criticize what seems to be a lack of civility that is unique to poor, urban areas with large populations of Blacks.

 

Yes, they had some kind of big mall fight here in this area too. Like I am sure someone accidentally spilled a slurpee on somebody's shoes, or bumped into somebody and didn't say sorry. It is so nuts. Everybody is so worried about being "dissed" they forget to act like rational human beings. Slap them all with fines...and ban them from the mall, that might teach them to behave like humans.

 

There is something interesting going on under this surface of this thread. Something understood but not declared.
Let's say A is A, call a spade a spade.

Are you guys and gals saying that the members of the Black community conduct themselves like this because of their socio-economic situation, or are you really trying to say that they conduct themselves like this simply because they are Black.

I find it hard to believe that because their ancestors grew up in an area with more UV light and they developed darker skin pigmentation, that it would have such a profound impact on their behavior.

 

A couple years ago I was a hardcore Lefty and would blame Black American dysfunction on "racism"--everything is so much easier that way--even though I had grown up watching this dysfunction unfold before my very eyes in the various communities I grew up in, and saw that it had zero to do with white racism and white supremacy, and 100% to do with how these people conducted themselves and how they viewed and engaged with the world. It was their attitudes holding them back, and nothing else. While I am uncomfortable in asserting that racism didn't ever or won't ever, influence the lives of at least SOME of the Black folks I grew up with, I am extremely confident in opining that at least 90% of their problems were their OWN damned fault.

 

I agree with the statement that
"least 90% of their problems were their OWN damned fault"
but this isn't just for one set of people. I could easily say that for most of the developed world that 90% of the peoples fault is a direct result of their actions.
But there has to be something else going on here, I do not believe that race has that big of an effect.
In fact different human races are so genetically similar, compare us to dogs.
There are different breeds of dogs that act different ways and are genetically different. Humans are so genetically similar that if we were held to the same standard of dogs, ALL humans would be considered the same breed.

 

People are so blind and lost in this world. We wrestle not against flesh and blood.

 

Thomas Sowell made a great observation that the difference is CULTURE. I think this is most obvious when you se Black children adopted by white families. Even if that kid came from the WORST of circumstances, 9 times out of 10 he or she will FLOURISH in their new home, precisely because they are away from all the cultural elements that would otherwise sabotage their chances at a healthy future.

 

I suggest you look a little closer at what cross-racially adopted adults are actually saying rather than make assumptions about their lives.

Bullies use past or even imagined victimisation to justify narcissistic behaviour
Sadly its pretty common human manipulation
