Sid-HarthaMemberI think it is inappropriate to say all bizzare behavior is performed by whites. I do note that the most bizzare behaviors and incidents reported by the media, that I recall, are by whites. For example if I heard that a a man shot 5 people on the NY subway, I would not assume the race of the perpetrator. If it was reported that a man has murdered a number of men, put their genitals in jars, ate their intestines and and had sex with the skulls, I’ll bet it was a white person. I don’t say this due to some racist belief about whites. I don’t say this to denigrate whites and elevate minorities. There is a long list of examples such as Dalmer, Gacy, etc. BTW I don’t buy the shock value rationale for only reporting weird white behavior (‘can you believe that a white person did this?’). If other ethnic/racial groups performed bizzare behaviors the media would be all over it. Similarly I don’t buy the numbers argument. Whites are a relative minority in the world. Finally I would differentiate unusual/different behavior from bizzare behavior. Eating excrement is over the edge. Remember ‘Pink Flamingos’. I am curious about this as well.

James BlondMemberAn American thing? Europe, Asia, Africa have all , but mastered the atrocities that man can muster. How can one consider America so harsh? Is it because America is the last attempt towards a civilized society, and therefore they should never have ‘Bad’ things happen? Every country has it’s ‘Monsters’. Every country has their ‘Atocities’. Why should America behave with a certain etiquette? Why not all cultures?

EdisunMemberAll things considered if you want to approach that question you have to consider what is crazy? Is it crazy in South America for the kids to surf the trains,while sniffing glue? In Spain you get to run with the bulls and then watch them get killed with swords. Is suicide crazy? Well if it is then black males win in that catagory. How about when Japenese geisha girls get their ankles tied. Theres the all popular African female genital mutilations. In parts of northern Africa it is legal to steal the women of other religious sects, these woman are forced to convert into the kidnappers religion. Lets not even get into what kind of awful stuff that goes on in the Middle East. Eskimos make their elderly leave and die from exposure, to save on food. So yeah I guess that white males are pretty crazy because they like to kill people in schools and churches and from the top of towers, but we are not alone and welcome to the club. Oh yeah one last thing Jeffrey Dahmer has nothing on the cannibals in the south pacific. Did you know that to a cannibal you are considered a ‘long pig’? Have a great day.

BriggsMemberYes, you hear about gang-related murders amongst minorities. One individual targets a particular individual. When a kid goes into a school randomly shooting with no victim in particular in mind, he is white. When you hear about a kid or siblings even, plotting, planning, and then executing the execution of their parents, they are white. Show me the evidence of dispute. But lets try to ignore the murder issue. What about the beer thing? What about devil worship? What about the vampire kids? What about all that?

KimMemberSome say that the Kennedys have an extreme gene that causes them to take huge risks. Some call risk-takers adrenaline junkies. (I would even call myself one of these adrenaline junkies.) I don’t know if there is physical cause for white people’s crazy acts or not, but there is a certain amount of adrenaline that comes from overcoming obstacles and challenges. Perhaps whites seek out crazy acts or succumb to mental illness more readily because on the whole they have not had to face the same challenges as non-whites. I work as a teacher in a predominantly black, low-income school. I don’t worry too much about horrible instances that other schools have experienced. My kids are too busy trying to survive.

AndresMemberI Do not know if i can answer your specific question, but i do not believe that the European colonization of the Americas rather than Native American colonization of Europe was a coincidence.

chuckMemberOne word: censorship! I barely heard that there is a tribe which males claim never to have bowel movements after a certain age. They slip off and do it on the sly! Actually, newspapers will not print heinous or crazy deeds by non-whites and Jesse Jackson will not allow blacks to do goofy things on TV commercials without sueing in court for big money. The black guy with the gold tooth is the best example. You-know-who’s car company got dragged into court. We all know that gold teeth are in many,many races.

Marcus-P22209MemberDon’t forget that some people of African descent practice ‘different’ customs like voodoo, cannibalism and bestiality. Recenlty in Jacksonville it was discovered that a black kid killed his grandma and hid her body in an abandoned house for 3 months. Before that, another black kid killed his grandma and buried her in the back yard, all the time cashing her social security checks and having a ball. We must all be wary of generalizations. The media uses such instances, often, out of context and with unknown exaggeration.
