Video of Violent, Rioting Surfers Shows White Culture of Lawlessness
Cord Jefferson Monday July 29, 2013 7:52pm
A frightening and violent mob swept through the normally quiet seaside community of Huntington Beach last night following a surfing competition in the area. Businesses were vandalized and looted, portable toilets overturned, and brutal fistfights waged right out in the open. It was an ugly display and a sad day for California. But more than that, it was a reminder that we must begin to seriously consider the values of our thuggish white youth.
More important than white politicians are the white parents. I'd like to ask the caregivers of the children in these videos what they've been doing. When did so many white parents fall asleep at the wheel? You can complain about poor schools all you'd like, but the fact of the matter is that it's the parents of these children who are letting them leave the house looking like slobs in their baggy board shorts and Hollister t-shirts. It's the parents of these kids who are letting them listen to violent, self-destructive trash like "Anarchy in the UK" or "Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue"—performed loudly by noted conservative rocker Johnny Ramone.
As I said, I know a lot of whites don't want to hear this kind of tough talk. But as an American of color who considers himself an ally to the white community, I'm just tired of seeing young, belligerent white people disgrace themselves year after year at surfing events, horse racing infields [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Sr3GOYPGOA (next below)],
This happened in Orange County, CA, and it's one of the places I grew up in, so I'd like to provide a bit of history with regards to a very aggressive white culture—one that is actually a white supremacist culture.
This white supremacy activity in Orange County is something that other whites are completely oblivious and blind to. If you're not fortunate enough to be white, rest assured that if you lived in Orange County in the 90s all the way up until now, you'll have heard from the supremacists at some point, especially in the so-called seaside communities. You'll have been the victim of hate crimes, harassment, racially motivated stalking, and flagrant aggression acted out with arrogance because they know the cops are not going to bust them the way they'd target Latino Americans for doing absolutely nothing except for being Latino American.
It's this part of my childhood in Orange County with Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, etc as a few of the backdrops of my childhood that has made me always, always fear groups of white men—especially young white males—more than anyone else because I've been able to detect the blind rage they have, which they express with impunity. This malicious, privileged aggression is something I have picked up on the streets of many cities in the US, including NYC, and it always surprises me that white people talk about everyone else being dangerous and frightening when it's actually the other way around.
When will moderate whites condemn dangerous White Culture?
