    Ethnic white people would only be in Europe and no where else if you want Olivianos statement to be true.

    Exactly. America has no ethnic, indigenous, white people. We could send the racists and white supremacists to Antarctica. Plenty of whiteness there for them to worship-plus the added bonus that they would be far away from normal people.

    Yes but you see racism and bigotry and outright hatred is never wrong when leftwingers do it. That's a leftwing ideological article of faith.

    No birth is necessary not accidental to a human being.

    Everyone knows race is more than pigmentation. Blacks for sure have a totally different kind of energy than white people. White people created classical music. Black created gangsta rap. That is more than skin color.



    How do you define racism?

    Then why is there such a huge difference between the accomplishment and cultures of the races?

    They had alot of powerful reasons to think that. You don't because you have been manipulated by this government to believe that in order to be a good person you have to pretend that black people are equal when you know it isn't true.

    That is an assertion not an argument. You are trying to pry another issue into this conversation.

    I think it's good to hate on immoral and primitive cultures. It's not racist to hate the thug black culture. I hate their chosen lifestyle and attitude. I could care less what their skin color is.

    I also hate the religious and political far right who are mostly white because their chosen culture and values are idiotic.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accident_of_birth

    Accident of birth is a phrase pointing out that no one has any control of, or responsibility for, the circumstances of their birth or parentage. With a modern scientific understanding of genetics, one can reasonably call any human being's entire genome an accident of birth. The place of birth of a baby has an effect in immigration law of many nations, so that an "accidental" birth in an airport lounge may entitle a person to a passport in later life.

    More broadly, gender, family circumstances, cultural background, access to education, inheritance rights, are all examples of accidents of birth. Individual responsibility, from the age of majority certainly, is supposed to cut across all these matters.




    Race is about pigmentation and other superficial features. There is only one race - the human race.

    You make the common mistake of confusing culture with race.

    Bigotry against superfical exterior characteristics.

    For exactly the same reasons that there are huge differences between the accomplishments and cultures of those of the same predominate race.

    Resources, religion, climate, education, eugenics, etc. etc. etc.

    I'd think much more of Dr. Baker's opinions on race, if he didn't think jews were a race.

    Its the opposite, we do know about the other races and that is why we want to get away from them.

    I was an anti-racist and indifferent towards race until I went to a very ethnically diverse school that made me think.

    This is just proof that we cant have blacks in our society if they see us as "racist oppressors" over 150 years later.

    In some cases it is both.

    I don't know would you call that racism?

    I classify that as arrogance, but most folks from the North are trying to move to the South. LOL.

    Well there are plenty of whites in Africa, how many black folks do you think live in Antarctica? So that theory holds no water.

    It appears racism is natural which really shouldnt be a surprise. People naturally seek refuge among their own kind, its survival instinct going back to day dot. The claim is homosexuality is natural and therefor acceptable with less evidence.

    We see various races chose to live neighborhoods of there own kind, we see in prison the response to danger is grouping along race lines....... none of this should be a surprise. But some would say racist, even though its natural.

    Provided no harm is caused i dont care who people associate with. The Japanese, Chinese, Arabs ect should all remain strong majorities in their countries as it naturally makes people more comfortable and allows their people self determination. The Japanese for example accept all sorts of races to immigrate but keep the numbers low and have a fairly satisfied populous, all peoples of the world deserve the same.

    Preserving diversity is our strength, we shouldnt be xenophobic and want all races blurred into one.

    Because whites can't be the victims of racism, right?

    - - - Updated - - -

    You forgot about the current racist policy in South Africa, where 80% of new jobs are held open for blacks only and whites are kept in a state of perpetual poverty. But of course you are more or less cool with this specific form of racism, am I right?

    No, it just shows who the racists with power have been. The "noble savage" idea doesn't work, here. We have plenty of examples of whites being mistreated in the wonderful homeland of Africa where they are minorities. We can also see who the victims tend to be in areas where whites are outnumbered by blacks in this country.

    So you oppose affirmative action? No?

    Again, affirmative action? Supporter? Yes?

    Right, you just believe whites (excluding liberals, of course) need to be perpetually punished. Not racist at all.

    So to escape the progressive pitfall of having to oppose all forms of racial prejudice, because we all know progressives won't do that, they now put a time limit on how long a group has to be persecuted and victimized before it officially becomes a problem. Do I have that about right, snakey?

    You really think so? So my decision to not live around black people is akin to taking another person's life, in your worldview? Wow.

    You said "racists" and not "white racists". I hate when progressives make this mistake. I highly doubt you were talking about black racists.

    So if they're justified in going around hating white people, why should any white person associate with them? Don't we have a really really good reason to stay the hell away from them?

    You think Stormfront was around during the Civil Rights Act :roflol:

    Racism is like a serious social disease. It should be immunized against wherever possible. Society will do far better without it.

    So you disagreed with wyly's post where he said blacks are justified in hating whites? Why didn't you take issue with what he said?
