Thomas Sowell - Race Riots if Obama Loses

[Elspeth]

Thomas Sowell is being interviewed here by Larry Elder in Los Angeles. Elder is an African American libertarian and has been a talk show host at KABC for many years.

So in other words the idiots who cry about racism will do their very best to perpetuate the very stereotype that makes white people look at them as animals? Let them riot. This will only go on in cities like LA, Detroit, & Chicago anyway so let them burn.

[Unreconstructed Reb]

Of course there will be riots. All you have to do is take a look at the 0bamaphone lady video to deduce what she and her kind are going to do when they learn that 0bama 1.0 has been uninstalled.

Thanks a lot.



I don't think there will be riots if Obama loses. Now if the Tigers lose, that's a different matter.

[Unreconstructed Reb]

Thanks a lot.

It's your own doing for supporting liberalism.

Not if. When. And there will be riots. If I were you I'd plan on a little vacation for the first week in November. And you're not welcome down South.................

Liberalism didn't suck so much for you southerners in the 30s and 40s, when we paid to build roads, establish running water and electricity for your states and dragged your asses into the 20th century. I would also say we forced you to ditch Jim Crow, but somehow I get the feeling that you resent that part of it.

I am not that concerned about there being riots in Detroit. People didn't riot when two white cops beat an unarmed black man to death with their flashlights, people are probably not going to riot if Obama loses.

I thought the South was known for their hospitality?! I'm pretty sure I'm welcome in Orlando, Atlanta and New Orleans, you know, the places in the South that are actually worth visiting. The rest of the South is just the area you have to drive through to get to those 3 places.

Trust me, you'd bew welcome. We might look at you funny, 'til we figure out who you are.

It's funny, those are the three places that the rest of us drive around to get where we're going.

I have been all over the US and Detroit is without a doubt the biggest shit hole I have ever had the misfortune to be in. So I would hold of on too your witty retorts. If they nuked Detroit I'd probably say,"what took you so long"? oh you can thank liberalism for the condition its in now.

Well if the worst happened and what Sowell is afraid of happened, I think you'd find only the black areas of the country "burning".

I don't know about other states but when I was going for my CC permit the room was filled with quite a few older folks, a lot of them female. Any rioters are going to be in for a BIG surprise if they start torching areas outside their home turf. At least here in Florida.

I'd let them riot all they want as long as they stay out of my neighborhood. You come into my subdivision with evil intent and you are
going to be "greeted" by a wall of .223 (among other sizes) of lead.

Thankfully, I doubt it will come to this.

How very arrogant of you. I suppose that it took you enlightened liberals to "drag" us back woods huckters into the modern era. No Southerners had a say in it or lifted a finger to build those roads? We haven't a clue how to do things ourselves. Why, without you big hearted liberals, we'd all be wearin homespuns and bare foot. Thank you. Thank you for pointing out your superiority at my expense. How very kind and thoughtful.

As for "worth visiting?" Do you suppose the Smoky Mountains has any allure for such a sophisticate as you and your fellow elites? What about Nashville, Memphis, even Knoxville? Really Nooner, I thought you were better than this.
