Any ideas on how to deal with an attack, as its happening?

P.S. Seems the things I've experienced are now starting to happen all over. I will not say I warned you.

Hello,

What are Black Flash Mobs?

P>S I know that was a snark... but hey. "What are black flash mobs" speaks more to lack of coverage, then to them NOT happening.

Hello,

Are you suggesting that membership in 'flash mobs' is restricted by race?

Or are you suggesting that you are only concerned about 'flash mobs' comprised entirely of black people, while any mixed-race flash-mobs require different defense tactics?

AnthonyT,

If its easier and better for you to ignore this, then by all means you are free to do so.

Skip this thread, pretend it doesn't exist, or give lofty socio-economic-political reasoning for it. Hell, call me a racist. (I DID use the term "black" instead of "African-American")

If its too much for you to look this stuff up, or if its too much for someone to acknowledge, pretend that this isn't happening.

I don't want to cause a psychological breakdown for the more gentle of our visitors here.

However, IF you are willing to see the "writing on the wall", IF you are willing to acknowledge what is happening, IF you are willing to at least TALK about it... then do so.

Otherwise, ignore me and this. Slide on by and I hope that nothing like it happens to you.

Way to bitch out on a direct question, Wulfie.

It's chickenshit moves like that which ensure you will be ignored.

For you, I would suggest running directly at them while yelling kill blacky. That should scare them off!

You guys could have just condensed your message into the phrase "You so RACISS!"

Your fingers will be less tired if you just write that. Plus, as an added benefit for you, you won't have to think, or read, or even consider anything.

Hello,

Wulf, you specified that you were looking for strategies to deal with Black 'flash mobs.' This seems to imply that you believe that there are 'flash mobs' whose membership is screened by race and that they have special qualities that require unique defense tactics.

Is this so?

I also find it disingenuous for you to dismiss my attempts to engage you on the specific topic you have raised.

--Anthony

Grow a brain and start thinking.

The problem is not the story you posted. Nor is it talking about racial issues. The problem is how you approached this. You could have posted the story and commented on the racial components of the flash mobs. You could have titled the thread "Flash Mobs along Racial lines" or "Flash Mobs predominantly Black". No you called the Black Flash Mobs and said they you told us so. How you approach and issue is often just as important as the issue.

See I don't think you wanted to really talk about anything, you just want to stir shit up and then say claim others are being to PC.
