Recent scholarship traces the roots of southern violence to the Scots-Irish, who brought a relatively violent “cracker culture” with them to the United States in the eighteenth century. The tolerance for violence inherent in cracker culture was believed to be transmitted throughout the south to other whites and was maintained, in part, through evangelical Christian doctrine. Moreover, Thomas Sowell (2005) recently argued that some southern blacks were also influenced by “cracker culture,” leading to the emergence of a “black redneck” phenomenon influencing homicide among blacks. Using county-level data circa 2000, this study empirically evaluates the merit of the cracker culture/black redneck thesis.

The proportion of male mass shooters is considerably larger than the proportion of males in the general population.[54] According to the Associated Press, white men comprise nearly 50 percent of all mass shooters in the US.[56] According to the National Institute of Justice/The Violence project study, the demographics of shooters were 97.7% male, with an average age of 34.1 years, 52.3% white, 20.9% black, 8.1% Latino, 6.4% Asian, 4.2% middle eastern, and 1.8% native American.[29]

The level of delusion and racist fervor some Republicans hold onto would be laughable if not for the 400 plus years of terror often concealed as public policy and rule of law. Many within the Party want to really revert back to George Wallace and stand in the schoolhouse door or better yet Andrew Jackson and the implementing of Black Codes and other domestic terrorism policies. How much more do you want to turn back the hands of time and hide behind the mantra of MAGA? And we call ourselves a CHRISTIAN nation!

From AL Capone and Whitey Bulger to Bloods and Crips. The same dynamics involved. Disenfranchised turning to criminal activity. It's evil and terrible. Both sides.

"I mean statistically that’s just an undeniable fact. Even when corrected for every other factor (wealth, location, education level, etc) black people and especially black men are much more likely to commit violent crimes than any other ethnic/racial demographic. And it’s not close."


We learned it from watching you.


Conservatives used terror, intimidation, and the Ku Klux Klan to “redeem” the state. One quarter of the Black legislators were killed, threatened, beaten, or jailed. In the December 1870 elections the Democrats won an overwhelming victory. In 1906 W. H. Rogers from McIntosh County was the last Black legislator to be elected before Black voters were legally disenfranchised in 1908.

Troll? Maybe thought provoking. You would probably say uppity. Guess it's just my nature friend

I apologize Spacewrangler. I shouldn't have included your name but rather my dear friend Tusky.

Is it really so hard to think a young black kid would be consciously killed by a white man? I'm not say this it what happened with this case however, my forefathers may would argue differently.

American history is characterized by its exceptional levels of violence. It was founded by colonial occupation and sustained by an economy of enslaved people who were emancipated by a Civil War with casualties rivaling any conflict of nineteenth-­century Western Europe. Collective violence continued against African Americans following Reconstruction, and high levels of lethal violence emerged in American cities in the twentieth-century postwar period. What explains America’s violent exceptionalism? How has structural violence against African Americans become ingrained in American culture and society? How has it been codified by law, or supported politically? Can we rectify and heal from our violent past?
