You sure seem to from your earlier post.

Perhaps it would behoove minorities (from all categories, not just racial minorities) to understand that, for the most part, the GOP is not interested in representing them as people. Same with women. The GOP seeks to restrict a woman's medical decisions and is frequently guilty of trying to lay claim to the fact that "some rapes are more legitimate than others". It's the party that says, "keep your legs closed!" and punishes women for getting pregnant by wanting to pull funding from programs that benefit single mothers, like SNAP and W.I.C. It's the same group that doesn't believe in paid maternity leave, because hey, "you chose to get knocked up, too bad, so sad". The GOP likes black people, so long as they sound/dress/act white. It's perfectly acceptable to be a black man in the GOP with a name like Allen, Ben, or Herman, but how many Tyrells are there? How many Tamikas?

Tire old canard.

I suppose it hits a bit too close to the truth. Face it, there is a double standard. Same with the whole First Lady debacle. I've heard Michelle Obama referred to as "a [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]", "Moochelle", "The First Hoodrat", "harlot", "tacky", but it's fine for Trump to have a mail order bride whose legs are spread eagle for inappropriate contentographic media?

What, do tell is "white culture"?

It's not having a "black sounding name". It's okay for a black man to listen to jazz, but he's "ghetto" if he listens to Hip Hop. He needs to claim white privilege is a myth. That his fellow black man isn't really held back by racially-motivated discrimination. That Trayvon really did deserve to be gunned down. He can wear a suit, but not baggy jeans and a tank top. He can't "sound" black in his manner of speech.

Your's is the party Bill Clinton, Teddy Kennedy, John Edwards, Bill Maher, Bob Filner, etc. I won't quote them because forum rules prohibit foul language.

Is there a study of African-American names as conservatives? And what is it to sound/dress/act white?? Good grief.

Oh dear, you discovered that politics can be nasty, and that in our age of social media one can come across literally millions of insulting and disparaging words. Stop the presses.

I think you need to get out more. Your view of things is astonishingly narrow, though you probably think yourself as open-minded and egalitarian (psssst.....you're not).

The knockout game was called a trend (i.e., multiple incidents), you should be able to demonstrate that with data, simple. As I said, show the data or just say you can't. It's quite simple.

YouTube and WorldStar are enough data. How many recorded instances are required before its admitted that its "a thing"?

In other words, you do not have the information and you are spreading false rumors. Do you not understand statistics and what is required to show a trend?

If the knockout game was a "thing," you would be able to support this with data. By all means, please show us the trend, not quotes from people responding to sensationalized news.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knockout_game#History_of_attacks
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knockout_game#Race

In response to several reported black-on-white attacks in 2013, Al Sharpton released a piece called Knockout Games -- The Biggest Form of Cowardice,[44] which condemned the attacks. Sharpton noted the black community would not be silent if they were the victims.[45]

Is this the sort of info you were after?
