Wow, a man who got beat up by a single guy lying about having been attacked by a whole bunch of guys? And a guy inflating how badly he got hurt in that fight? Bet that never happened before, ever, in the history of mankind, and there's also never been a man who inflated the size of his penis, or the size of a fish he caught, or how many women he banged in his lifetime. Context matters. These aren't fish stories to bar mates. The story was used to inflame racial tension. Thats what "community organizers" do. Start shit.

Don't bother. I tried explaining the effective blast radius of a modern US nuclear warhead last time this nonsense came up. The whackadoodles told me I didn't know what I was talking about because some blog they read said it would bounce off the atmosphere and fry every single wire in 3/4 of the country. At one point I asked them how the planes that dropped the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki managed to fly away if EMPs have as much range as they insist that they do. Crickets for a while, then got told I don't know what I'm talking about again. All you can do is shake your head and laugh. could just end up being 6 to 10 nukes over cities, or a quadruple 9-11. You greatly underestimate the fragility of the veneer of modern technology. Consider a conventional attack by a nuclear power. How would 9-11 gone if the Taliban had an atom bomb in their back pocket?

i think we have spent a lot more time since 911 overestimating capabilities than underestimating them.

I didn't realize there was anyone who didn't already know Shaun King is white. He's never made a secret of being biracial. He's black & white. So what? According to the article, he's not even biracial. Just a white man pretending to be black in order to qualify for scholarships, etc. quit using facts...mmhhhmmmm says he's biracial, that means he biracial darn it!!
Next you'll probably say Bruce Jenner is a man -- NO!!!!!

If you think you're biracial and your friends think you're biracial, you're biracial. If you think you're a woman and your friends think you're a woman, you're a woman. (Also, you may need drugs and surgery.) The world would be a far better place if we stopped judging people for their insistence on disregarding reality.

in my opinion? no. what about yours? I don't think Pres. Obama is plotting an Alinskiesque takeover, no. I do think that if the US electrical grid ever suffers a major attack, all bets are off on what the US--if there even is a "US"--looks like politically after the smoke has cleared. I think of society as a great deal more fragile than you, billis, and most of YMAM do. As far as I'm concerned, Ferguson is closer to being a reality in most US cities than most dare imagine. Moreover, even in these times of free money, unprecedented social welfare payouts, and relative political stability we've witnessed sweeping abuses of government power, compounding on one another. When the next 9/11 happens, well... We've had plenty of periods of racial unrest on the US and so far, we've survived them. The draft riots in NY during the Civil War, the national riots following Jack Johnson's victory over Jefferies, all the unrest in the sixties, we're no stranger to unrest, but if you look at other incidents - Charleston SC after the police officer shot the fleeing suspect, for instance - many cities act quickly, through the police, civic leader, politicians and the churches to discourage violence. I don't think all US cities are poised on the edge of civil unrest. Besides, why single out US cities as hotbeds of potential riots? You Canadians have had your share, too.

This doesn't offer a deterrent for a death cult that believes chaos is going to usher in the mahdi.

People that advocate nuclear strikes no matter what side they are on are part of a death cult.
There are some people that welcome the end times- and they are extremely dangerous.
WW3 could be a war that is over in an hour with the lucky ones vaporized- there will be no winner.

A bit of an update to this thread: The guy who accused Shaun King of pretending to be black has been arrested by the FBI. Turns out he's a 20-year-old troll from Florida who has pretended to be all sorts of things and has tried to cause trouble for all sorts of people. Seems he had been trolling as a member/supporter of ISIS and gave someone instructions for how to make a pressure cooker bomb, then told them to plant it in Kansas City on 9/11/15. A real jewel, this one. He used his MoonMetropolis handle to cast aspersions at Shaun King. Looks like Karma has found his toosh. Here's a link to The Daily Beast's article about his arrest: Joshua Goldberg the Troll

According to what I've read, the kid could get as much as 20 years in the pokey. I really feel for his parents. They were, reportedly, taken completely by surprise when the FBI came for the kid. I can't imagine what that would feel like!

Breitbart are the ones who jumped on this troll's comments about Shaun King and whether Shaun is "really black." It was absolutely ridiculous but they didn't hesitate to try to use it to denigrate Shaun. This nonsense really blacks their collective eye - not that anything needed to for those of us who realized what Breitbart is, and has been. They are not a news source. They're a hate group and nothing more. I only hope more people will see that now. I cringe every time I see them used as a source!
