    With the amount of violence I recall seeing, I would say the media had the word usage spot on during Katrina coverage.

    Japan is another matter altogether.

    I enjoy reading your retorts but this one is pretty weak. You labeled a DVD player as an part of survival in a hurricane!? The point is the Japanese aren't taking DVDs and shoes and whatever. Cash laying out? That's an asset, tsunami or not.

    I can completely understand looting important stuff in a disaster, which makes the lack of it in Japan very impressive, but can you please explain what I got to see in LA after the Rodney King trial?

    scal, if you think you are educating people and making them more enlightened I think you actually do the opposite by actually increasing racist dialogue and rhetoric on covers...

    Interestingly if you read the post you can see who the racist(s) on covers are...

    They are the ones that simply bash scal for his race trolling WITHOUT bringing up race (straight shooter, you passed, you did not bring up race)...  The racist(s) are the ones that have to use race in their put downs...

    It is one thing to call him stupid or say you disagree... It is another thing to bring up race to add to the race trolling already started in the thread...

    If anything, your threads display people's feelings and who the real race trolls/racists are...

    But I think covers already knows

    Public beating? What town square did this happen in?

    You musn't have seen the "Why no looting in Japan?" thread I just made irrelvant. (100+ responses, most of which had people bashing blacks within)

    Ya know, the one I just disproved considering there was (Hmmmm...how should I say this) looting in Japan...

    This is weak, as you see it, because the original thread I am disproving was laughable to begin with.

    I sat back, patiently waited a few days and viola!, an account of looting in Japan. 

    Simple postings for the simple-minded...

    There's no way of 'seeing' things a certain way...

    Like it or not, there was looting in Japan...

    Black, white, asian, indian, hispanic...We ALL loot in desperate times that require desperate measures... 

    And this was one major takedown...

    Ok, so lets get this straight.

    An earthquake strikes, followed by a tsunami. A bank vault cracks and is wide open, and you expect the money to just cling to the closest object and not get washed away?

    This article screams insurance fraud and nothing more. This isn't proof, just speculation, quit playing games.

     




    I'm sure there wasn't a single broken window, or floating merchandise, in those Katrina floods, thereby exonerating the looters in NO by your logic...

    and finally

    https://www.covers.com/postingforum/post01/showmessage.aspx?spt=41?=101011817&page=2

    why not actually answer a very simple question, which in case you dont understand it again is why arent more black leaders promoting the message that the extremely high out of wedlock birthrate, the high HS dropout rate, the high incarceration rate of young black men, the degrading and nefarious lyrics of many rap artists is not doing anything to improve the plight of blacks in america?

    but yep, go ahead, keep blaming others for all your problems.

    you should watch remember the titans and hear coach boones message.  heres a sample

    The world don't give a damn about how sensitive these kids are-- Especially the young black kids.  You ain't doing these kids a favor by patronizing them. You're crippling them. You're crippling them for life.

    i had the opportunity to hear the real coach boone and the real coach yost speak about 6 years ago, one of the best speeches ive ever been to.

    I'll answer all your questions in due time (and some have been answered so your quite late to the game). This thread is for the horses' asses in the previous looting thread who attempted to use it as a way to disparage, marginalize, and degrade blacks.

    Right now, they stand before you....with their pants at their ankles...

    The town square of Covers of course.

    Thread after thread after thread you routinely get into heated debates with 10+ different people. A person of at least average intelligence might take the time to objectively find out why that is. Of course it is your delusional fantasy that you are some sort of anti-racist superhero making the world a safer place for blacks from their evil white oppressors who want them back in chains.

    Ignorance is bliss.

    Scal,

    I seriously question your motives based on the outcomes.  You might pretend to have "good intentions" and presenting a perception or point of view that you think is more enlightened or accurate.  But you rile up the racists and expose the racists. But you also point the racist finger at posters that are not racists

    So to the general discussion forum of Covers.com and post this type of stuff it is simply "race trolling".  Trying to bait a reaction on a site like this.
    Simply pointing out the clear pattern. 

    Hopefully you wont lose it an go completely psychotically insane by my simply pointing a pattern of "race trolling".  I think Covers has witnessed others completely lose their mind by making a simple observation.

    Imagine how angry he would be if he was black?

    Aside from thinking that you are educating people ( On a sports gambling site, hilarious by the way ) when in fact your race baiting is doing the opposite, what exactly is your whiny honky ass doing to fix the wrongs of your ancestors and relatives?

    This is a horrible attempt to promote your agenda, ie, that people are racists and blacks have been beaten down by the man.

    Comparing one single event to what happened after katrina or the Rodney King trial is simply assinine.

    Amazing as it may seem, this was probably an inside job. It wasnt reported for 11 days....

    Nobody said that everyone in Japan had morals, but given the choice to take $500k with almost zero chance of being caught, a lot of people would, Japanese or not.

    You may now go back to saving the rainforest in Harlem
