Do you believe a “race war” will happen?

Question

One of the dumbest things I’ve heard about recently is the idea of a “race war”. That people will actual swear allegiance to their race and die for it. It’s the most ridiculous concept I’ve ever heard and shows that humans truly cannot deviate from their tribal instincts, making us no better than wild animals. I’m a black dude. I don’t mind being black, but what I’m not going to stand for is people thinking I have some sort of allegiance to them because I’m black. Even if a race war were to break out, black people wouldn’t win because black people are the lowest of the totem pole of races throughout the world. Everyone would just team up with the white people. We should care for intellectual advancement of human society, not our emotions towards people who look like us. So why even beget the idea of a race war in the first place?

In 1970s when in Florida government officials at the licensing place joked they had to empathize on my father's driver's license he was caucasian (white) as he "looked like a black man". Per the handful of DNA tests, he's taken he's 0.5% African DNA. He tanned ridiculously dark because there are actual British (such as the older timers of remote Welsh towns that look remarkably Spanish) who are not lily-white regardless of what google images & Americans think.

My point. Only in America does such blatant stupidity as concern over race exists - and I am dead serious in Europe we care more about where you are from, your home country & culture & religion, than we care about the color of your skin or your so-called race (only the Germans really cared & we all know how well that turned out) - and if America were to tear itself apart because of it... so be it. Maybe then they'll smarten up.

Particularly when you consider it some of the very pro-white/pro WASP people come from areas (e. g. southern states) where if they dug deep into the family tree they likely have a black or "not white" (e. g. Italian like this but-I'm-WASP numbskull on Ancestry. com years ago who was flipping out about her large % of Meditterian/Italian DNA and couldn't figure out why when she didn't know her grandmother's father & guess what there was a large Italian community nearby) ancestor.

No and it's one of the most dumbest things I've heard. In the real world outside of black lifes matter and the far right most people of all different races got along like normal everyday.

I live in a very multicultural town and i wouldn't even blink a eye if a person of a different race walked past me. I have my own life to worry about and couldn't give a fuck about race at the end of the day its literally just a skin colour and slightly different culture, we are all human but a lot of dumb people make such a big deal out of it for some reason which i will never understand.

It's ridiculous that I have to white shame myself just to make a valid point not coming from a racist viewpoint just my own perception from experience.

When the race war will start it will be from the inside. The prison gangs already know it's about to go down. The government has been dividing us at all cost. Pumping fear and unwarranted concern all day everyday. This is a country all set to divide and dilute unity. They will arouse at the same time allow it to spark off. Remember LA 69/92/94 Chicago, Alabama, Oklahoma so many more... There was no intervention to stop it until they all basically calmed. They want this to go down.
There is a problem with any such war really happening at a mass scale other than prisons.
Black people do not unite and or organize a governing leadership rank. Which means they will fight from within for dominance and or RESPECT. Weakening their agenda of attack. Their best work has been burning and looting their own city. Not racist just facts here. When they do unite they gather. Making easy targets for all the good ol boys to pick em off as if their at the state fair skeet shoot.

Whites all around this country are baring and loaded legally. Hunkered and bunkered. Spread out on their private property. With a strong ability to unite in rank and file.

It will be the shortest of civil upheavals.

There have been race skirmishes but never an all out race war.

The concept of an all out race war is very old and is not realistic, it’s virtually impossible. There’s so many variables that prevent such a dystopian scenario from occurring.

Many people in former European colonies (The Americas, Australia etc) are mixed race: Many people who think they are just one race, actually have an ancestor that is of a different race than they consider themselves.
Races have scattered throughout the world: No matter what country you go to, you’ll always find foreigners who managed to assimilate into that country. Go to Japan and you’ll probably see a few Hispanics and Europeans.
Most people don’t have any issue with other races: Most people nowadays don’t hate other people just because they are of a different race. In fact many people are close friends with people of other races.

And the list of reasons why a race war is impossible goes on and on. Yes there are occasions where there is tension between races but they never turn into race wars. I’m mixed (half Asian, half Hispanic) so I’m glad a race war isn’t possible cause we’d probably be in the middle of the war.

Wow, you first black person who I hear something like that from, not saying that it is bad. I'm impressed...

Most of people who talk about 'race war' or something similar are very low IQ and stupid in my opinion and as you mentioned would be deadly to some races as majority of them are below poverty line, if you look at all world % not just one village...

I'm white and not saying that one or other race are better as every culture has some advantages and anyone can be good person and not be jelyous and just do best with what you have not be stupid and follow other sheep-people to slaughter...

There is stupid white people who think they are above other races, shorter people, people with less hair, people with more hair, people with shorter manhood and... I'm sure every race has those, but they just flipping burgers for all their life...

To answer your question about 'race war', you can see some of it already happening, just go and visit other part of city where majority of people not your race or when person with some little power could make favourite person of his own race...

I experienced racism on multiple occasions and not expecting that to go away any time soon, I just straight away judge this persons IQ level...

ZackBan · Answer

The problem is with amped up emotions caused by embedding past traumas.

I'm talking about the country by the way not a person. See the US as struggled with racism since forever and while the civil war ended up abolishing slavery it never really dealt with the problem and people still harbored hate in their hearts. The slaves hated their masters and the masters hated the slaves for leaving. And that hate was passed down the generations.
Now whenever something remotely racist happnes everyone jumps out to vent about all the racism across history.

Both parties need to realize that race is basically a skin tone difference nothing more. The past can't be changed but we can't scream racism everytime someone commits a crime and you know full well crimes happen on both sides

longlicker6969 · Answer

I think the question will fall in the midst of any bell curve you want to believe. 25% of our population are waiting and hoping for a race war (white supremacists, black muslims, etc.). 25% of our population are diametrically opposed to any kind of violence. Most people just want to exist without violence and/or without government intervention, but want to live promoting their ideals of freedom/happiness. Most people don't want to protest but if you make them, they might buy in. I'm in that 50%. What happened in Minnesota is an anathema to me. But I'm not grabbing a gun and running to town hall. I'm hoping cooler heads will prevail.

JananiiSrii · Answer

No, because there are more races in America than White and Black. There are Asians like myself, and millions of others non-White non-Black Americans who make up over a quarter of our population. Also, Black and White people interact everywhere nowadays. I doubt everyone will just magically align themselves according to race, and go against their own friends, colleagues, neighbors, and even relatives.

No justice no peace. Racism has gone on for too long and it needs to stop. This country needs to change and stop relying on white supremacy to over power us. We need to come together and support people who have gone through racism. If we all come together and stand for what is wrong and not divide us into race then we will have a better chance of changing things. America is better when United than when divided

Anonymous · Answer

No there is a divide not a war. I would consider a war to be something like a Nate Parker revolution. What black people need is separation and our own economic structures. We refuse to do that because we're addicted to being abused by a white supremacist system and crave acceptance from people who hate us with no remorse (Stockholm syndrome).

David92506 · Answer

RACISM "prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior."

I'm assuming that you believe many Americans believe we live in a racist society where one race believes they are superior to other race (s).

I was wondering if anyone can give me an example of racism in the USA, currently?

youknowbetter · Answer

You can blame the media for this crap. What happened in Minneapolis is disgusting and I hope that cop at least gets charged for manslaughter. He did have a past of complaints.

But from what I’ve seen there is zero evidence that this was racial profiling. People just saw a white cop brutalizing a black victim and automatically assumed racism. Maybe it was but there is no hard facts that he would of behaved differently to a white person beyond assumptions.

RationalMale · Answer

A de facto race war? Eh. Maybe.  It is fairly clear that if non whites gain political control in the usa then the situation will either lead to fracturing the usa or a south africa situation.

Avenoma · Answer

The race war is all smoke and mirrors. If anything it will be a cultural war. Manson started this pop race war idea with a very special kind of psychosis. It has been studied and made public. There are just mental pressures from a very small minority because they want things their way.

They're individuals who are investing on it happening in order to say " you see we are animals and deserve to be treated as animals " so that we forfeit our rights and become slaves once again. The other alternative is to pack up and leave, they can function without us and the Latinos will not tolerate the level of bullshit we endure although we shouldn't either but it's the only way we can regain control of our lives and be dignified.

TonyMetal_1986 · Answer

That's stupid, i really don't know why people still think about races instead of seeing everyone as human beings...

I never think about the person's race, i don't care what color they are as long as they are good.

It's a shame that some people still look at such things.

Anonymous · Answer

No, because of several reasons:
Races don't have a common country.
Races are divided into many nations and ethnicities, lots of nations hate each other even if they are the same race (e. g Chinese vs Japanese, or Hutu vs Tutsi, or Georgians vs Russians etc).
Races are also divided by various religions and political & economy differences within the same race.

MDollarBill · Answer

Not a race war, per se. but I think a Liberal/statist, conservative/Liberty war is well under way. I think there are Liberal/Globalist powers who intend to keep pushing things simply in order to see at just what point Patriots will start shooting back. They need to know where that line is before they begin gun confiscation and impliment totalitarian rule. It's coming!

The idea of race wars has been discussed for many years, but it has never actually happened. Racism still exists, which is unfortunate, but I like to think we’re getting better as a society. To paraphrase Morgan Freeman, the best way to get rid of racial conflict is to stop talking about it.

nah. it's just the Democrats trying desperately to divide the people and control their thoughts in a weak attempt to control who they vote for. See recent Biden comments where he states you're not black if you don't vote Democrat. But the majority of the people see through this and won't turn on their neighbor while politicians try topull their strings.

No. I think racism will continue its slow fall as every old generation dies. Blacks will be killed and will live in poverty more often than whites for another few decades. Hopefully we start changing faster.
