Just look for post #88 in the opposite thread about the mob attack, and you get an idea how little has changed in the past 40 years in the Clint Eastwoody view of race relations. Clint's forgiving scene in Gran Torino is just another installment in the "Make my Day" category of race relations.

    But youse definitely need more firepower in Detroit, more guns are going to add flavor to the already potent mix. Gunz'r fun.
    Right. Because black people beating up their black spouses NEVER happens in Detroit, only in the 'burbs. Wonderful analogy, pure genius. Next......

    Yes it does, but when it happens in the less sensationalistic way of the dominant white world we call the culprit "a nutcase" not so when we read about "so-called "honor crimes" in certain quarters, certain cultures. I dont deny the ghetto mentality that persists in the black community, but I also look at statistics for criminal sentences among whites and blacks for same crimes and I find more than a bit of analogical truth in D'nerd's story. Again?
