I just wanted to point out that no lack of cultural heritage, equal opportunity or their grandfather's systematic oppression justifies violent crimes 🙂

No.I refuse to take responsibility for the actions of people who are not me.
My ancestors didn't enslave any Africans, but if they had I sure as shit wouldn't cough up a dollar because of that.
Neither did mine. Some of the males fought on the side of the north. Two of them died. Therefore, my family demands reparations from both the African American community and the Southern States for the loss my family suffered by losing working-age, able-bodied, fathers.
After calculating their income for 30 years that they probably would have lived, each, after the Civil War, weighing their typical jobs, and adjusting for inflation, the Black Community owes me $26 million. If every black member of America gave me 2 dollars, that would just about cover their reparation debt to me.
The Southern States are considered to have already given reparations for their role so I cannot demand more money or resources from them.
Since Robtard is a Mexican, he counts as half black and owes me $1.
For those of you who think this post is serous, you're really really dumb. You shouldn't be driving or reproduce.

Delaware and Maryland aren't Southern states.I mean, they may say that on wiki, but still.
I don't know if you're serious but I'll pretend you are serious for a bit:
Here is a map of the "Southern States", according to their education board organization:
Also, here's a Civil War map that shows the Southern States* as Confederates:
I think the reason Delaware and Maryland are considered Southern States is because the US still puts them under Southern States in the Census. This may be a "slave state" label...
http://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2011/01/where-does-the-south-begin/70052/
And here's something directly from the Census Bureau:
https://www.census.gov/geo/maps-data/maps/pdfs/reference/us_regdiv.pdf
Lastly, here is a poll result on which states count as Southern:
Despite American History, people do not consider Maryland to be a Southern State:
http://fivethirtyeight.com/datalab/which-states-are-in-the-south/
"Also, Maryland — well and truly — is not a Southern state, according to actual Southerners. It pulled a pathetic 6 percent of the vote. That’s worse than Arizona and New Mexico. Walter White is more Southern than a Marylander. Allow me to welcome you to the North, Maryland. I’ve always loved your well-appointed Interstate 95 rest stops!"
But those 6% believe they are in the South...and the US Census Bureau still agrees with them. Self-identity is probably very important for figuring out what kind of state you live in. If people don't like to think of themselves as a "Southern State", despite what the Government has on paper, that should be okay.
*IMO, this qualifier is the closest to a non-subjective label of "Southern States" as we can get. Whether or not states seceded to the "South" during the Civil War and whether or not they permitted slavery are where we even get the idea of a encompassing label of "Southern States" like we do (which is a label that generally implies Southern norms such as "Southern Hospitality" and racism). This may be why the US Census Bureau still calls them "Southern States."

Once again, I don't believe any violent crime is justifiable. I understand what you are saying. I got robbed once by a black guy. I am saying it is black ignorance and lack of education which whites need to realize is the result of generations of oppression rather than self-entitled laziness.
Also, your post is interesting. You seem to think of violent crimes and looting when you think of the black race. This is an example of the social conditioning Robtard referred to and the fact that despite believing in egalitarianism, you still subconsciously view blacks as a separate entity from whites, rather than view us all as one human race.

Amish settlements are in 28 states: some of them typical "Southern" states:http://amishamerica.com/amish-state-guide/
Edit - And so it is not disputed, here is a list of the US Southern States:
Florida, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Delaware, Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas.
Edit 2 - It looks like a better question would be "Which Southern States do NOT have Amish communities?" The answer to that question is South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Louisiana. That list is shorter than asking the other question.

I didn't grow up in America, please don't project.
The only slaves we ever owned were British.

Obviously I was referring to White Americans and you never gave any indication that you were not one.
I'm just amazed that this is still a race issue to so many, and not a issue of rich/poor.

Yes well outside views are usually able to judge things a bit more clearly, since they're not so hugely invested in these perceived slights that Americans go on about.
LOL. Judge things more clearly my ***. That's a crock of **** with a capital friggin' "S". I'm so ****ing tired of "outsiders" (i,e, non-Americans) ignorantly thinking that they know what's going on inside our own country better than we do and/or judging us for all kinds of different things when they don't have to put up with the same crap from certain types of people that we do.

All i saw was an over privileged kid with a cell phone fixation and control issues, and a teacher taking the brunt of same.
How is he "over privileged"? All we know is that he's from Jersey and a Freshman. He might have had to work really hard to get that phone, and didn't like it when the guy who didn't pay for that phone tried to take it away from him.
And if he fought so hard for the phone, clearly to the point of physical violence, the teacher should have just let go. It wasn't that big a deal that he needed to wrestle with someone for a cell phone.

Well that tells you the level of racial tensions here that such a small incident could invite such a large debate.
