Gawker: Video of Violent, Rioting Surfers Shows White Culture of Lawlessness

[M0rpheus]

Oh lawd! The article I would have loved to have written, If I were good at this writing thing...

As I said, I know a lot of whites don't want to hear this kind of tough talk. But as an American of color who considers himself an ally to the white community, I'm just tired of seeing young, belligerent white people disgrace themselves year after year at surfing events, horse racing infields, and Ivy League campuses. Whites in America have been out from under their European ancestors' boot heels for centuries; California specifically outlawed preferences for nonwhites in state hiring and education nearly two decades ago. So being "oppressed" is no longer an excuse for behavior like this. How long must we wait for the white community to get its act together?

1. Perfect!

Many people don't want to hear this kind of tough love, of course. They'd like to bury their heads in the sand and pretend that all white children are as sweet and harmless as Taylor Swift. But the reality is that the statistics tell a different story. For instance, according to research from the Department of Justice, 84 percent of white murder victims are killed by other white people [PDF]. Similarly, white rape victims tend to be raped by other whites [PDF]. White-on-white violence is a menace to white communities across the country, and yet you never hear white leaders like Pastor Joel Osteen, Bill O'Reilly, or Hillary Clinton take a firm stance against the scourge.

More important than white politicians are the white parents. I'd like to ask the caregivers of the children in these videos what they've been doing. When did so many white parents fall asleep at the wheel?

I'm in love. totally in love with the author of this.

And predictably, there's a good bit of pearl clutching.

If you do what the racist do you justify it...so now you cannot say anything if someone says "Young American blacks have become a bunch of idiotic hooligans".
It does nothing but escalate the tension and name calling...nothing good can come from it

smh

11. It's a fantastic write up

It's about time someone tackled this pressing and under-reported societal problem.

I for one am tired of these gangs of whites spreading like locusts across the country subverting my family's wholesome lifestyle

This happened in Orange County, CA, and it's one of the places I grew up in, so I'd like to provide a bit of history with regards to a very aggressive white culture—one that is actually a white supremacist culture.

Orange County has been a hotbed of white supremacist activity, and has sometimes even been called the capital of it. The existence of skinhead gangs in places like Huntington Beach since the 1990s has been documented (see these articles published in 1993 and 1996), and the activity hasn't stopped: this 6-part series published in 2012 article talks about the white supremacy movement's activity because it turns out that the shootings in the Sikh temple in Wisconsin had roots in Orange County.

This white supremacy activity in Orange County is something that other whites are completely oblivious and blind to. If you're not fortunate enough to be white, rest assured that if you lived in Orange County in the 90s all the way up until now, you'll have heard from the supremacists at some point, especially in the so-called seaside communities. You'll have been the victim of hate crimes, harassment, racially motivated stalking, and flagrant aggression acted out with arrogance because they know the cops are not going to bust them the way they'd target Latino Americans for doing absolutely nothing except for being Latino American.

It's this part of my childhood in Orange County with Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, etc as a few of the backdrops of my childhood that has made me always, always fear groups of white men—especially young white males—more than anyone else because I've been able to detect the blind rage they have, which they express with impunity. This malicious, privileged aggression is something I have picked up on the streets of many cities in the US, including NYC, and it always surprises me that white people talk about everyone else being dangerous and frightening when it's actually the other way around.

13. Very true

But if we point it out - we get smacked with 'reverse racism' charges when in fact - it's just a reality. . .

. . . always fear groups of white men—especially young white males—more than anyone else because I've been able to detect the blind rage they have, which they express with impunity.

Historically - groups of young angry white men have been extremely dangerous to minority Americans.

14. Whenever I see a post justifying

the profiling of Black and Brown people due to fear, I have to ask about the source of the fear. Why are they so afraid?

Historically, non whites have had very good reason to fear Whites.

There's no history in this country of widespread lynching, killing and targeting of whites by any non white group. I have yet to see non white law enforcement hosing and turning dogs loose on white children.

Yet, many still feel justified in their "fear" of non whites. Or, so they say.

16. I can answer solve that puzzle in one word ...

POJECTION.

[NOLALady]

17. Of Course!

18. I hope you noticed ...

I left the "R" out of projection.

I thought I was making a cute play on words.

15. And property ...

when something really important happens … like when their college/city’s team loses (or wins) the championship.

My mother used to always say: "You won't suspect it in someone else, unless you can see you doing it."
