I thought Nick's example was a good one, just because a flash mob, or passionate group of people, is white and they don't think Obama is a good president doesnt' mean they're racist. So just because a group of black people get together doesn't mean they're racist or have racial hate intentions. If it happens and you've seen it yourself then maybe its something to think on for your own city or town and how to remody it, but I don't think it happens all that often from a statistical perspective.

I too never really thought of flash mobs as violent, I thought they were usually people who agreed to meet somewhere and do something altogether with the illusion of spontanaeity. Of course violence could figure into that, but I never heard the word to mean that, though it makes sense when you guys bring it up.

Haven't come back to this topic because I knew it would probably turn into one of those back and forths. So I may be repeating something already mentioned. But here goes:

--There are black-on-black mobs, and a lot of the mobs have been indiscriminate, there just happened to be a lot of people leaving an event or whatever, black, white, who are targeted, or else a group of people invading a store to steal.

--The news has been covering this for at least a week, and it's ALL OVER the internet, so I'm not sure how everyone's "ignoring" it. http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/video/flash-mobs-terrorize-us-cities-1431980

(note the white woman in one of the videos)

--Given the state of the economy and, gee whiz, who's at the bottom, I'm not surprised violence is flaring up. There will probably be more, and don't worry, Wulf, you only have to wait a while for caucasians to join the "movement". These aren't middle-class black people, until you can prove it, and the poor generally do rebel when empires fail and things become they way they are in America today. Given the Republicans have worked SO hard to make things this way, this must be what they wanted:

--I believe there was a period when there were gangs of white males running through parks accosting women..."wildings". I don't think I was here then, but I wonder if that got the same attention and they were seen as "white" mobs by Wulfand Raptor at the time?

--And yes, Riona, you're right about the original idea of flash mobs. I'd like to know who started calling this form of acting out a flash mob. Wiki: "A flash mob (or flashmob)[1] is a group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual and sometimes seemingly pointless act for a brief time, then disperse, often for the purposes of entertainment, satire, or artistic expression."

--Given one of the ones which got the most coverage was of a group of youngsters invading a 7/11 and stealing CANDY, and others have involved theft, I wonder how some get the impression they're "racially motivated"?

--The term is being ussed indiscriminately to refer to protests, entertainment and the new kind. Here in CA, BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) closed down cell phone usage for a time to try and minimize "flash mobs" like the following:

Wow. First a Black Spiderman, now a Black Flash? And enough of him to make up mobs?

Naw. He's probably just running around so fast it looks like a mob.

Ooh. The NWO really hates chaos. People dancing and singing impromptu is fun, and also very scary, because it wasn't on the itinerary, so the MSM has taken the term for this activity, called "flash mobs" and applied it to gang violence.

It's an old trick, but I think flash mobs will need to rename themselves. Meanwhile, thanks, Wulf, for doing their work for them. Oh, and thanks for the heads up.

Kh, and one more thing: gangs are not coordinating through facebook, this is not maneki neko as crime syndicate, gangs are just randommmm thuggery, which is why they shoot each other. If they were organized, they would stick it to the man like the blakc panthers tried to do. Instead, they talk abiut sticking it to the man, and then stick it to themselves.

These "mobs" are really just the armed revolution that Wulfie has been hoping for all these years.

His only real problem with this particular form of revolt is that it's being carried out by people less white than he is, and they actually put their plan into action, where Wulfie here is still too much a coward to carry out any of his grandiose plans.

Hello Wulf,

If you like videos, watch the video on this page.

Pay special attention at the timeframe of 4:00-4:05. Play it multiple times if you need to.

Then tell me what you saw.
