Gerrard - Reading the responses, and knowing people who think and talk like him in real life, who are always blaming "Y-T" for their shortcomings and self-inflicted problems (see numbers of weekly Chicago murders to see who is killing who currently in the streets of U.S. cities) and seeing the violence that can be unleashed on lone "Y-T's" who happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time or not follow proper security precautions for fear of being called a racist...
Maybe the capacity to perform serious industrial scale violence to solve a problem once it goes on long enough / gets big enough - is a feature, not a bug.
THE WRATH OF THE AWAKENED SAXON
by Rudyard Kipling
It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.
They were not easily moved,
They were icy -- willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.
Their voices were even and low.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not suddently bred.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the Saxon began to hate.
