boy, will you be happy to know that it's better than you think!

there were NO RIOTS after oj was found NOT guilty.

and there were NO RIOTS after oj WAS found guilty.

so we're 0 for 2 in the oj riot department!


I meant the Rodney King results.

If all the sources are unnamed treat it as fiction.

I have seen good info come from unknown sources more than once. This makes sense considering the reports of Representatives being threatened with national martial law if they failed to vote for the bail out plan.

Yes, it is very difficult to sort the propaganda from actual news reporting.

I think that riots by PHRASECENSOREDPOSTERSHOULDKNOWBETTER. supporters are about as likely as riots by PHRASECENSOREDPOSTERSHOULDKNOWBETTER. supporters.

Which is to say less probable than being struck by lightning.

This is a really unfair slur. He's referencing what others have said and trying to discuss hypotheticals.


No, its not. The original post quotes unnamed 'pundits' alleging blacks will riot in the streets if PHRASECENSOREDPOSTERSHOULDKNOWBETTER. loses the election. Name these pundits. I'd like to see who has descended to this kind of undocumented, unconfirmed 'journalism'. Probably Sean Hannity or that other paragon of journalistic virtues, Pat Buchanan. If you can dredge up anyone reporting this stuff.

Same old stuff, get the white folks riled up about what black people may do.

Its really hard to keep such a discussion apolitical when the whole topic is floated out there for political purposes.
