Are the rioters racists by specifically attacking people who are white or latino?

you'd have to be functionally retarded to not understand the 'black people = apes' bollocks, I find it very difficult to believe that multiple posters all just arrived on the same metaphor at once[/QUOTE]
Honestly if I was chilling in my car when a group of guys come running up and start beating it and jumping on top, I would be thinking they are gonna pull me out and beat the shit out of me. I would fucking floor it
I love how the media has pretty much everyone focused on the Trayvon Martin case when there are obviously much more important things to be worrying about, makes you wonder really..
[QUOTE=Aries;41487253]Why do people riot about a court case that's already been settled when there are things like the NSA or foreign affairs to take to the streets for?[/QUOTE]
What if the jury consisted of only NSA agents and this was just a huge distraction

yes that's a textbook hate crime
[QUOTE=RenegadeCop;41490342]I wonder if people can sue media for property damage.
Because this is indirectly because the media purposely causes a shitstorm over trivial things.[/QUOTE]
You mean like how violent videogames are to blame for school shootings?

most human beings do not have a one-track mind. people can be outraged and concerned about the trayvon martin case and still care about other issues in the usa.
i won't apologize for the media, ever. but it's sorta ridiculous to say that people are ignoring the "real issues" because they are participating in protests over trayvon martin.

[h2]yeah staying in your car while it's being assaulted by 10 people who want your ass down on the ground and possibly dead is a much better alternative! look at me! what a smart and sensible person I am![/h2]
[QUOTE=FinalHunter;41486793]This is slowly devolving into one of those Natalee Holloway kind of news stories where it just gets annoying to hear about. This is one kid - he's dead, the trial is over, shut the fuck up. I'd much rather hear about Syria or Snowden because those things actually matter.
I seriously didn't know the average American had the attention span to continue bitching about this case.[/QUOTE]
Mass shootings don't even go on this long in the news.
But people think this one is a hate crime so that makes it 100 times worse than a massacre right?

most sane people don't want to be responsible for killing or maiming people. i would personally feel that sitting in a van while people attack it is preferable to actually running over those people in most hypothetical situations i can think of.

decent point actually, I guess I interpreted that post as the general 'if someone slights me i'll shoot them in the face with my shotgun' shite which gets thrown around in SH. but this isn't a gun control thread, so the number of retards is slightly below the usual 90%
still, I'd try to avoid running people over if at all possible

I think most people would but I think you'll find that most people are going to value their own hide over that of some random dude who's beating on your car, presumably trying to get to you.

Actually no changed my mind; all those dirty niggers are doing is acting like their natural equal - the ape. And what do we do when a bunch of apes escape from the zoo? That's right, shoot on sight. We should pass a law that requires every citizen to buy a gun and shoot dead at least 3 black people on the street - it's the only way we can restore order.

well yea. i'm just saying in a hypothetical world where i would be in complete control of my decision-making process during times like these, i would find it preferable to just let a van get wrecked rather than actually do something that would cause someone to possibly die.

i think most of us would but reality isn't a fairy tale so treating it as such is silly

This just depends on culture and whether or not the comparison between apes and black people has been made extensively by perpetrators belonging to said culture. It's not a matter of being retarded or not. Like I said, where I'm from, the ape comparison is used to describe behaviour and "behaving like an ape" has no connotation behind it whatsoever. You say children behave like apes when they are being turbulent, regardless of skin color. If they said their physical traits were akin to those of apes, then it would be blatantly racist. You can't argue that these rioters are being model citizens right there, and the "behaving like apes" bit applies for the white guy dancing on the top of the car as well. You can find connotations in every kind of wording if you search deep enough.

Uh, should have refreshed the page before I replied to what I though was a sensible argument.

Glad to see this thread has resorted to racial shitposting to try and make a point.
Jesus Christ, they ARE acting like apes. It's only racist if you take it as racist, because even though it might be a racial slur, it seems we're forgetting that an ape is [I]also[/I] an animal that likes to wreck shit. What are they doing? Wrecking shit. Okay? And if you can't take the word ape as something other than a racial slur then just forget everything I said and act like I just called them assholes because I don't want to get caught up in one of Facepunch's enlightening debates on political correctness.

ape isn't even an animal, ape is a group of animals that have wildly different behaviors. if you want to nit-pick, calling someone an ape is less about talking about any specific behavior(since each ape species has different habits and mannerisms), and more about calling other people sub-human.
i'm black and i don't see how ape is a *racist* insult and i find it funny how people are getting offended for other people when you don't even know if they are actually offended or not
seriously not everyone grew up like a sheltered man baby and thinks that everything is racist
please stop
[editline]17th July 2013[/editline]
i mean seriously the plain definition of ape as told by google: "Imitate the behavior or manner of (someone or something), esp. in an absurd or unthinking way."
which is exactly what these people are doing by jumping on cars and attacking news crews for unprovoked reasons
apparently telling it like it is must mean someone is racist though, excuse me
Are you guys still whining about that ape comment? Jesus, get the fuck over it already. They're acting like animals, the comment was completely justified.
The comparison is wrong because comparing them to animals is a disservice to animals. Most animals don't run around and wreak senseless havoc and break shit unless they are in fear of their survival. It would be a more apt comparison to say they are acting entirely human.

Racial shitposting has been happening in this thread since page 1.
[QUOTE=A_Pigeon;41486936]Why the fuck are they attacking walmart?[/QUOTE]
Because they probably want to loot it.
[QUOTE=Raidyr;41487340]Right, because thats how FP operates. Any time there is a serious discussion about the language we use it's just too much political correctness, and critical analysis of language isn't really analysis, it's just looking for racism. The reason his "parody" fails is because no one would look for racism in the word zombie. If he had quoted a word that could almost be construed as racist it would have been more effective. What it comes out as as a defense mechanism from someone who is afraid of a slippery slope where if we continue talking about the racial insensitivity of words like thug, savage, and ape when referring to black people that one day someone will suggest that zombie is racially insensitive.
But instead of looking at his post critically we just throw funnies at him because haha he made a swipe at those politically correct guys in another thread.[/QUOTE]
Jesus christ, I think I speak for most people here when I say please shut the fuck up
