Looks that way, though I'm not an admin so I can't confirm. Starting the Mexican poll thread after his White poll thread got whacked was probably not the best idea, along with whatever he said in this thread.

I just got online. What the hell happened?

All that I see are a bunch of posts that have been marked unreadable. I'm assuming they must have been pretty bad.

I think Zach started hitting his moonshine a little early today

I'd say blacks and whites are equally nice outside of the minority of assholes which all races have.

I don't think anything would stop a mass panic, rioting and looting if the conditions presented itself. I've seen too many people act like nuts during hurricanes to think otherwise.
All that it would take is for government checks to stop coming for a week or two and it would be on.

Without basic needs being available for survival, people get desperate. It's human nature.

I'm not sure what happened to Zach.

His unreadable posts were just quick hitters sarcastically claiming racism for different responses.

I didn't see anything ban worthy.

There are posts on page one that are still standing more bannable than anything Zach put up.

Weird.

Zach hardly ever says anything offensive. This is strange.

Zach's dog old enough to use his account yet? I've suspected my hound dog of such things in the past due to there being dog slobber on the keyboard.

There are some really strange left wing radicals on here who really don't like Zach - I suspect they got together and flooded with RAs.

If true, that's low.

I think the mistake is in assuming that the majority of looters are from Ferguson.

This is true IMO. Listening to the live feed from last night, I heard it said many times (speaking in reference to the looters) that "most of those people aren't from around here".

I've seen nothing that suggests that what is happening in Ferguson was facilitated by a pre-existing condition that made it ripe for this type of event. I have not come across anything that would suggest Ferguson can be differentiated from any other randomly selected suburb/municipality with similar characteristics either politically, demographically or socioeconomic.

And if that's so, it's because no other ethnic group has gone through what they've gone through over 400 years. The norm for them for 90% of that period was the systemic and institutional devaluing and violation of their bodies and rights. It's insane to expect 360 years of state violence and mistreatment to have no cultural echoes whatsoever.

A mistake many an aloof observer is very happy to make;anything that advances their simplistic narrative.
