Certainly , racism is a vehement form of violence. The old Colonial trick of "divide and rule" is always used and STILL is...racism is a fine way to employ this tactic. It's just one facet but helps to control and create fear /greed. Thank you Mr Nagler!

More power to you at Berkeley! It's so wonderful listening to thoughts of peace rather than Pat Condell's form of cynical hatred.

In Scotland the "fiery cross", known as the Crann Tara, was used as a declaration of war. The sight of it commanded all clan members to rally to the defense of the area. On other occasions, a small burning cross would be carried from town to town. The practice is described in the novels and poetry of Sir Walter Scott. The most recent known use there was in 1745, during the Jacobite Rising,[1] over a century before the foundation of the Klan.
