The entire problem with Ferguson is the overwhelming white police force.

Is the problem more about law enforcement or the race behind the uniforms? If these riots continue and whites become the predominate targets could we see some blowback on the white side of this?

This has been my fear because trouble makers need to prolong this battle for as long as they can and that could mean targeting certain groups. Retaliation by whites only fuels the tension.

The race war has been waged for the past 400 years...and blacks have been utterly crushed by it.

Under the Obama administration I have been made to feel worse as a white person.

Blacks better hope not. Their 12.6% of the population or so would be thinned out quick if it came to that.

No. This is about a smallish group of people causing mayhem just because they can (and because they don't have much else better to do). The minute a group like this starts pushing against (black or white) middle class neighborhoods is the minute that they start getting mowed down.

No.

If anything it would be a culture war.

And there are many blacks who don't want any part of the culture on display.

If by race war you mean blacks burning their own sh!t and killing their own people?

Then yes.

I do not believe this is the beginning of a race war or even a cultural war. I believe that as irrational as all of this may be from a "critical thinking" POV, this is a venting of built-up pressure. There are too many good people (of all races) for this crap to sustain itself.

The problem is our country has turned into an idiocracy. We eagerly consume infotainment loaded with truthiness (cable news) without actually looking into details. Why mess up a good story with facts and shite.

As spidey would say: Keep drinking the Brawndo!

I think it's more of a massive overreaction in response to an incident involving two people who overly reacted to one another based on mutual prejudices.

The entire problem with Ferguson is a fricking criminal nose tackle-sized thug charged a cop with a gun and did not stop his charge to crush the cop until shot to death. And then the black victimization card was played for maximum effect to gain attention.

if it is, i'd be curious how long the black community will last. I would imagine the average black person out guns the average white person. The problem is, white people can afford to buy ammo.

We getting close. In my 60 plus years I'd say there's smoke in the chimney more so now than at any time I can remember.

Not a race war per se, T...and Ideological one. It's a tangential matter that most Blacks support the Socialist/social justice/government redistributionist,economic model.

The war is being waged with voters right now; but the Right has gunned up...and it's pretty obvious that the Left shows that they are willing and ready to take it to the street if they are punished for disrespecting the current Law which supports Capitalist ideology. I.e., Individual rights over the crowd.

BTW, a lot of Black folk support the radical Blacks when it comes to condemning them...which would be de factor support for the (White Priviledge) Law. Kinda like Moderate Muslims...that won't condemn their Fundamentalist brethren. Both become enablers, and will be found at fault when the shtf.
