2. As I always say "Hatred is a product that destroys the vessel in which it is contained"...

Jul 2015

The first step is the Peace within... Inner Peace... it took me a long time to get that. Once I did, the Peace between and Peace among came easily.

For the longest time, I think I was angry for just being born! I finally found Inner Peace by going out into the woods for a week, by myself, alone with my thoughts, and had plenty of time to reflect back on my life and what was fueling my anger. It was the best week I've ever spent anywhere! I came back with a new attitude and personality and let it take over and grow, making me the person I am today...

Peace to you and yours, Uncle Joe...

Ghost

There's one report of black folks beating up a white guy and suddenly it's a race war CreekDog Jul 2015 #40

"and you call it a race war." No, if you have read ALL the comments, I have already Ghost in the Machine Jul 2015 #43

Why do I have to read every comment in this thread to ascertain that you didn't write it yourself? CreekDog Jul 2015 #44

The link worked when I posted it... XemaSab posted another link in post #16... Ghost in the Machine Jul 2015 #52

It's not a news article, it's a broken link to a video CreekDog Jul 2015 #81

How about YOU go back and read the OP since I self deleted it?? Ghost in the Machine Jul 2015 #82

As stated in the OP, "Posted without comment".... but here's my thoughts on it... Ghost in the Machine Jul 2015 #7

"...your alligator mouth overload your canary ass..." snagglepuss Jul 2015 #57

You can't attack people who offend you XemaSab Jul 2015 #15

No...but if you wave a symbol of white supremacy and genocide at blacks... Cali_Democrat Jul 2015 #18

Those guys didn't look too threatened to me. cwydro Jul 2015 #21

Were you there? Cali_Democrat Jul 2015 #38

I've seen these asshats in action in these "rallies". cwydro Jul 2015 #42

I don't really find it gratifying.... Cali_Democrat Jul 2015 #62

I much preferred the shot of the black trooper cwydro Jul 2015 #66

I don't see a flag in the post 16 video, and supposedly, the victim of the attack says he MADem Jul 2015 #33

The article I read said that he was carrying a confederate flag. I can tell you one thing, though. Ghost in the Machine Jul 2015 #58

Why are you defending mob action? You'd be singing a different tune if the colors were reversed. Comrade Grumpy Jul 2015 #49

there is not a single real news source carrying this story, i could only find it on stormfront La Lioness Priyanka Jul 2015 #60

The people involved posted the videos. See Melman's post just below. Comrade Grumpy Jul 2015 #61

someone's personal instagram is not a legitimate source. La Lioness Priyanka Jul 2015 #63

I could tell you why melman Jul 2015 #64

you mean the conspiracy against white people, which some how ends up La Lioness Priyanka Jul 2015 #65

No--nothing is clear. That might be what is happening, but I don't see that either. MADem Jul 2015 #51

I see a white guy getting attacked by a bunch of black guys. Comrade Grumpy Jul 2015 #54

I don't know. The film starts at a point where a group of young men are running at great speed MADem Jul 2015 #56

I just heard they were gang members, and they robbed the guy after beating him. frankieallen Jul 2015 #71
