Violence at State Fair forces questions about raceFor now at least, the Wisconsin State Fair's image as the midsummer oasis of fun, food and farm animals has been marred by marauding homegrown terrorists who need to be stopped

Dumbass, entitled-ass brown-skinned kids. Ugh. Not that dumbass, entitled-ass pale-skinned kids aren't doing the same thing on every college campus where they are the majority and every place where they vacation and drink. But these negroes should know better; for doing the same shit other kids do they get double indictment and frankly if they're too dumb to realize the racial dynamics, then they probably deserve to get reality smacked into them by this white supremacist system so they can get their shit together.

A description of the perps as black or "African American" is not a fucking description. Nice try at covering what he really wanted to talk about. No racist, we don't all look alike. If the writer really believed that the majority of black people in Milwaukee are hardworking people deserving of equal respect then he wouldn't pretend that young and black is some sort of helpful description. That kind of description criminalizes being black no matter how much bullshitting of caveats he wants to drop. I am much more comfortable with people being racist and prejudiced without any false pretenses.

True solutions are elusive.

Gee, I dunno. A good education, job market, community involvement, seems to work wonders.
