    The really ironic thing is that today's genetics researchers hold that the most advanced, intelligent humans are East-Asian (Orientals). Not Caucasian (White), and not Black (Negroid).

    Oh, BTW, before the doctrinaire PC crowd rushes to beat me to a pulp, I'm descended from Germans, and as white as a sheet of paper, thus, I've got no 'race-chauvinism' in me at all.... But, I am a realist.

    What I said was that the US was so racist during WWII that it wouldn't let black American soldiers fight white Nazis. That is a true statement even if the Nazis had an integrated military. The American military was segregated. So the Nazis were more racially diverse.

    Since I was not leading the children in your video do you agree that both were wrong?

    What I see in my video are children being brainwashed to worship obama as God

    In yours I see children who worship God not a cardboard cutout of bush

    Yes, I agree.
    I was simply supplementing what you said with additional information that other readers may not know that contradicts the fraudulent popular narrative of hyper-racist Germany.

    Jessee Owens reported on how well he was treated in Germany and, contrary to the propaganda narrative ("Snopes" etc), Hitler acknowledged his victory with a salute, wave or handshake(1), (2) while it was Roosevelt who openly snubbed him.


    (1) "Why was Jesse Owens deprived of presidential recognition?"
    https://www.telegraph.co.uk/films/race/how-america-snubbed-jesse-owens/
    EXCERPT "It is not clear whether Hitler snubbed Owens by refusing to acknowledge his victories. The record suggests this reading is wrong, or at best doubtful. There are reports of a Nazi salute, a wave or a handshake. Yet there is no doubt at all about the hurt inflicted on Owens by the neglect of US President Franklin D Roosevelt."CONTINUED

    (2) "Did Hitler shake Jesse Owens hand in 1936?"
    https://www.marca.com/en/olympic-games/2016/08/07/57a76934468aeb676a8b4567.html
    EXCERPT "With no publicly available photographic evidence of a handshake, many believe that the sprinter was snubbed, but Owens himself said that he did receive a greeting from the Nazi leader."CONTINUED

    FDR was as racist as Woodrow Wilson. His wife covered for him as much as she could but he was a real prick.

    Unlike you, we don't blindly support government decisions. Over a million people marched in London against going to war against Iraq:
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/2765041.stm
    Blair and Bush are war criminals

    LOL at you being so angry at my post. The US is the biggest terrorist nation in the world ruled by a manipulative liar that is blindly supported by lemmings.

    The point was, every old generation said the next new gadget was going to ruin society.
    Each and every time, they've been wrong.

    Of course you wouldn't see what is right in front of you. Would you say both were wrong? Doubt it.

    Teaching children to worship God instead of obama?

    You bet I approve of that

    Ive seen that video plenty of times throughout the years and we both know that is not what is going on there, but hey if they are teaching kids to worship Obama at least they are teaching them to worship something real.

    Indeed. First mainstream, articulate, nice looking, clean-shaven African-American; how can you not worship THAT? :mrgreen:

    Sure it is. /sarcasm
    That's why we have posters in this thread saying how skin color defines a person. And those saying that are NOT D's.

    Your point is generally well-taken, Dairy, although you paint with an overly-broad brush. I'm an old guy, but I've never heard anyone else my age (or close to it) berate the 'technology', per se, we have today -- only the way that people use it, and, allow themselves to be completely taken over by the mind-numbing, dumbing-down effect that it often has on so many people who (dare I point it out) are typically "under forty".

    Example: I go to a large exercise club about five days a week. And even on weight-lifting machines and cardiovascular machines, people are playing with their damned 'smart'-phones. They can't put the things aside for even the amount of time necessary to have a workout! They frequently just stand there, or sit there, and tie up a machine while they play with these things -- oblivious to everything and everyone around them. And who are they? Well... I don't see any members of the "Gray Hair" generation doing this....

    This is not the fault of the smart phones. I wouldn't be without my own phone, which I use for infrequent voice-calls, and much more for texting. But I never use it while on an exercise machine, or much worse -- WHILE DRIVING A CAR! And yet you see people -- mostly Millennials and younger, doing that all the time, at nearly every intersection, and while driving down the same street you're on.

    Now -- what does that reveal to us about the kind of MENTALITY that these people are developing...?

    Please explain.

    You're going to need to explain this. I don't see your reasoning at all. In what way are they tainted, and how do my comments about race in American fit into that?

    And how do you know what I understood? You seem to insist that I'm missing something about the Japanese culture. What exactly is it that you think I am missing?
    When and why were you there? Where did you live?

    But I bet the millenials do a whole lot less drinking and driving, something I bet
    you generation did a lot of.

    edit: I am not condoning either practice

    Teaching students to be critical thinkers and firm their own opinions based on presented evidence is wacky?

    I would have to say that your view of things is not universal.

    I disagree completely with that. It was a majority of white voters that got him elected and the ones who voted against him were not racist but were voting for who they thought would be a better candidate. The notion that racism or intolerance for Obama is just a defense mechanism by liberal and Democrats when faced with criticism. Criticism of Obama for his failed policies frequently has his defenders immediately playing the "race card" every chance they get. If anyone is fanning the flames of racial tension, it's Obama and his supporters.

    Democrats and liberals feed upon identity politics at almost every turn. They did it to Obama in a positive way (positive to Obama) and they do it to Trump in a negative way.[/QUOTE]

    Why do you keep inserting things I didn't say or suggest into my comments? Please...slow down and read what I said.
    And as far as knowing the motivations of those who voted for or against Obama, you don't know--you believe. I've made it clear that not all who disliked Obama were racist. What I did say was the race played a role, and after being legitimately called out for how I worded my comments, I restated that for some, race played a role. You only need to look at several of the posts on this thread to see that race was indeed a factor. You only need to look at many of the other threads to see the racist attitudes underscore many the comments.

    Racism is alive and well in this country. The only challenge to that idea might be one of vocabulary.
