Ok. Serious.
I laughed when I read this at first. But now I look at it again and I noticed that you said black college, not black ONLY college. So yeah, you'd probably be called a racist if you started a white ONLY college instead of a dominantly white college.
I think I understood your point though.
Oh yeah, I'm nitpicking.

Pay particular attention to the demographic makeup in terms of race for the area in question.
Pure mathematical logic would dictate that more Blacks would be looting than Whites in that particular area, since they make up a majority of the population there, no? No pun intended, but the numbers are pretty "black and white" unless I've missed something. I would expect the stories to be of a somewhat similar skew if race is being made an issue...
Or is this a case of the white minority there and their conservative pals in the press there sticking it to "The Man"?  If so, quit discriminating against my kind!  
Most other stories I've read talk about folks tossing rocks through windows of boutiques and then filling trash-cans with jewelry and reams of clothing; last time I checked, these are the last items one usually needs in a natural disaster...
Grocery stores I can somewhat understand if the need is truly there, but car-jackings, shootings and free-range thievery I can't; I was raised better.
Before I get slapped with the pansy-assed, upper-class, lily-white WASP label due to my musings, don't forget I grew up with food stamps, hunting to help place food on the table and a large farm garden that was the staple of the table until much better times came about.
I'm seeing a matter of statistics here, not any particularly powerful social commentary, Antonio. Now, if this was Connecticut we were talking about, I'd jump on your bandwagon fairly quick. Don't take any disrespect, but I just don't see any echoes of white hoods, Jim Crow or burning crosses in the reporting that I've read so far.
Stats have nothing to do with it. You can have a majority by numbers but as long as one has control of the power, numbers mean nothing.
It is proven that memebers of a colonized society well have a very hard time at being accepted in the dominmant culture. I suggest you study Blauners Hypothesis on race relations in this country. Oh, and also study how the media promotes and fosters stereotypes.
I have no problems with "The Man." You see, "the man" has a problem with me. "He" does not want me to succeed at anything. I have no problems with white people. I do have problems with white people that think that everything is "all good" when it is not.
And to the fools who say my posts are pointless... I still post and you still reply.
livinsvt, let me know when you are done. Stop using the crutch, "that if a white person did...." It is old homeboy. Quite frankly, it makes you look ignorant about the matter. If you don't have input on the discussion, then I kindly ask you to "shut the hell up."

Dude, everyone calm down & back away from their keyboards, think for a minute then come back. Antonio I agreed w/ you earlier, but no one is out to get you man. the people in here are just voicing their opinions.
I agreed w/ you b/c I saw what you were saying, honestly it took me 2 or 3 posts to see it though. That tells me that its more in your perception, you could be right or like others have said it could be 2 different reporters PERSONAL view of things.
I grew up in a town full of racial tension, I've seen racism 1st hand, and I'm not saying its you Mr. Wright, but most black people that run around spouting conspiracy theories against "The Man" have never really witnessed any form of racism! I know this b/c I have black & white friends(2 cards at once) I also had an interracial family member growing up, so it was a little hard to just pick a side!
My point is that there are some racist bastards still out there, from all races mind you, but the truth is they really have no more power than you give them!

Your right, OB1. Maybe, we should all come down.
Now, I am spouting conspiracy theories? Call it what you want. I am just letting people know that racism does exist and I will continue to show it to world, whenever I see it affect a dominant-minority group.

I really hope you are kidding, because that statement was so offensive to anything remotely related to reality.
This thread has gone on too long and i feel dumb for even contributing to it. whats worse is that for the first time i think i agreed with some of what 18psi2300 said.

you are serious? you think only america is racist? you think that in other parts of the world that slavery still isnt being practiced? you think that people in the world still arent being slaughtered because of the color of their skin (and for their religion while we're at it). you need to learn more about the world you live in if you think only america deals with racism.
thanks for calling me dumb, no really thanks, because it just shows that when you cant attack the message, you attack the messenger.
