#2 You might want to lighten up on the racism there, McZoid.

#3 "Spic" is an offensive and derogatory term, McZoid. As to your other points, there should never be tolerance for racist assaults on ANY day.

#6 Article: The driver told police he got away in his vehicle before the beating began and didn't know his friend had been hurt, Carter added.

He left his friend behind. What a dipstick.

#7 Grant people a history of grievance and a sense of entitlement and they will use it. The lesson of this is not that Hispanics or African-Americans or whathaveyou are different; it is that they are the same as everybody else. Humans can be clannish, bigoted and violent and will take advantage if given the opportunity.

The answer is to deal brutally with all mobs no matter what "community leaders" or the snakish press will have to say about it after and to teach proper history and a genuine sense of pride. Hundreds of thousands of Union dead - including black Americans under arms - made "Juneteenth" possible. This is something to be proud of and for which to be grateful. It is not a license for riot.

#8 Sorry for posting redactable comments. The comments weren't racist, but I can see where someone would be offended.

Come on people, now. Smile on your brother. Everybody get together and love one another right now.

#9 Come on people, now. Smile on your brother. Everybody get together and love one another right now.

Except for the "sp*cs", right McZoid? I was going to reply to your comment last night but remained confident the moderators would do the right thing. As Excalibur correctly notes:

Grant people a history of grievance and a sense of entitlement and they will use it.

Hundreds of thousands of Union dead - including black Americans under arms - made "Juneteenth" possible. This is something to be proud of and for which to be grateful. It is not a license for riot.

Personally, I detect an overall lack of gratitude that is nothing short of appalling. The snake oil of Multiculturalism is furthering a perilous fragmentation of America's people. Enshrinement of Diversitywhich need not be a bad thingis being used to shoulder aside the far more vital Unity that we must have as a free people to counter the real threat that confronts us.

#11 Shipman:

I have to agree that I singled out people based on race, and the Moderators did their duty.

#13 Juneteenth around here was quiet - no problems whatsoever. There WAS a spat at the St. Patrick's Day parade when a bunch of Code Pink idjits tried to march, "protesting the illegal war in Iraq and Afghanistan". Police said that the St. Patrick's Day parade was an inappropriate venue for such behavior, and asked them to leave. When they refused, a few heads were busted. A 67-year-old woman is suing the city for "abuse". She bruised her hip when she refused to leave and was dragged away kicking and screaming. Too bad, so sad.

During Frontier Days, there were two fights that resulted in bodily injury. Neither involved race, religion, or sexual orientation - just too much beer and too little intelligence.
