If a violent race war started today would you stand with your black or white friend or choose to go with your race and if you and your friend met up would you engage them violently in the name of your race?

No offense taken, however, I wonder that also. I mean my bf is white, I have always been w/ white men however, I don't think that all black men are bad or all white men are good. I know that there is good & bad in both and all races. But to answer your question, I personally think some instances it is what you said "men using their limited experience w/ black women to judge the whole" and in some instances it is a case of black men feeling that need a reason to be w/ a non-black woman that their attraction to them alone is not enough, so they feel they must denounce the women of thier race to make themselves feel better. Another reason ( I know men in my family who do this) it's not that the women "didn't stand by them" it's that they couldn't "get over on the women they were with" , they couldn't take advantage of the women they were with; hence thinking if they go to another race they will have better luck being able to tell her (said white woman) anything and she will submit. Now I have found that many a man in my family has been shocked when they meet a white girl that they can't get over on, then they move on to a latino girl saying the same crap about white women that they were saying about black women just lumping white women with us. These type of men are punks and children and generally want someone to take care of them, they don't want to be challenged because they don't want to grow as an idividual. So they are looking for someone meak, timid &naive that they can control.

OMG there was a race war at my school. there are only like 2 races (texas)
blacks vs. white
i asked my biracial cousin what side he fought on. he said "the white" but laughed, cuz later he described punching a bunch of white dudes out.
me? i'd hide in a corner and towards the end jump out and fight with the winning side! jk jk...if it was like a real cause (the cause at my old school was a racist act, some racist comments and instigators) i think i'd fight on my side. just because i am by definition kinda "oreo-ish" so like i'm barely accepted by blacks, so maybe this would be like brownie points to them judging me less?

fyi- there is a violent race war going on (just watch the evening news) and it's been going on since before the turn of the 20th century, and, no...black people are not standing together to defend themselves.

You imply that people would not have reason. Something that has been cultivated over the last fifty to one hundred years.
Also, you removed the possibility of a third option of penalizing anyone involved in violence. I would be easily with those wanting to prevent unrest.
Questions of conjecture with no foundation are not worth pursuing.

I'd become a loner and assassinate the respective generals of both armies, making it out to be that each one was assassinated by a member of his own race - thereby forcing the opposing forces to work together to try and find me.
Or i'd just kill all combatants.

I would kill all people the opposite of my race and i have no friends of a different race

Violence only creates more violence, I'm not fighting in no war. Spread the Peace

I wouldn't be able to do anything, I'm biracial, i think i would gather my closets friends and leave the country with them and go some place to start a new civilization, and civilized one at that.
