    If you refer to them as whiney snowflakes who are ****ing morons, everyone will know you are referring to the segment of brainwashed millennials, and younger.

    That 46% have never been to Japan.


    That's historically correct, Washington didn't agitate, caused problems and divided the American colonist.

    Most professors are heavily left wing. More identify as Marxists than Republicans.

    The vast majority of journalism majors are center to far left.

    That's the issue.

    I can see that it would confuse some people. That would be those among the brainwashed whiny snowflake ****ing moron demographic. Unless instructed, everything appears to be confusing to them.

    But the vast majority of people will know exactly who is being referenced.

    UK citizens always had the choice of private and/or public healthcare. Someone with a cracked tooth is not a case seeking immediate attention but could make a fuss and say that they are in pain and then get the work carried out by the NHS immediately. So your guess is pointless

    I would not swap our NHS for any system like yours. I do love our walk in centers where no appointment is needed and waiting time of less than an hour and is free on instant of use - children get immediate priority giving rise to a possible hour waiting time if children are brought in. Very handy for those cases when you don't want to go to A & E but can get a professional to assess symptoms just in case you need further treatment.Your system is can't pay, you die or live in agony

    The statements are pretty broad and terms like racist don't always mean the same thing from one person to another, but I'd say that yes, the United States is quite racial. This is something we can see here when the nationalists start with their White superiority nonsense and tag all kinds of racial comments with "I'm not racist. Some of my best friends are Black." The fact is that we make racially incendiary comments all the time and don't think they're racial because we grew up with those comments and cultural attitudes.

    The other thing that's amusing is how hard we try to not admit our faults. I think when people get so defensive about racially motivated comments or having the White-wash scraped off of our history, they are trying hard not to admit their faults. We were never the morally-centered and idealistic nation of freedom for all. All those negatives are part of who we really are. Yes, it's painful to admit, but we might as well get used to the truth. If it hurts, walk it off.

    The racist reaction to Obama's presidency is what set the racial agenda of today. Having a Black man in office was intolerable for a large portion of the population. White-hating? Is that what it's called when Whites get called out for their racial attitudes and values? Identity politics? If we're not a racist nation, then why is it that identity politics bothers that group of Whites so much? What are we afraid of?

    But Barack Obama isn't black, he's Mulatto and the godfather of the Mulatto Mafia.

    I lived in Japan, and they are extremely nationalist. Race is the wrong word to use because Japanese is not a race.
    I don't know if we are more racist, but we certainly can't deny our racial attitudes. They're all over this thread.

    I always wondered why a person who is half White and half Black is considered Black but not White. You don't suppose that's one of those racial attitudes we have?

    99% of all African Americans voted for Obama. Racist?

    The racism is coming from the Democrats, as it usually does. If people, whites as you so eloquently put it, really were racist, 99% would not have voted for Obama and he would have lost. However, 99% of all African Americans voted for Obama. Racist? We didn't more vote for Romney or for McCain? Is it because they were "white".

    I'm using the historically correct definition for racist, that some races are superior or inferior to other races or ethnicities.

    The Japanese do believe they are superior to other races.

    The word "racist" or "racism" didn't even exist 140 years ago.

    Even the word "race" only had one definition during the early 1800's as used in a competition or as in a horse race.

    "La Raza" is old Castilian Spanish meaning keeping the blood lines pure as in breeding thorogood horses.

    I've been told the magic number 1/16th.

    Unless you're Elizabeth "Pochohunist" Warren then it's some where around 1/1000th.

    You're going binary on me, Bucky.
    You're statement that 99% of Whites would not have voted for Obama is logically lacking. It assumes I said all Whites are racist, which I did not. However, in general, the dominant White culture does have it's racial attitudes. That in no way means that all Whites are racist.

    When Obama ran and during his time in office, there was a lot of resistance to him and much of that took on racist tones. Blacks voting for Blacks...is that racial? I'd say yes. I mean, if you were part of a minority and had a chance to elect the first of your minority as president, you'd probably do it. But that doesn't change the fact that racial attitudes against Blacks existed before, during, and after Obama's term. It's just that we had to confront them during his tenure and we resented that.

    So, why is it that at 50% Black and White, a person is considered Black, not White?

    Like I said, the magic number seems to be 1/16th.

    Caucasians seem to have a higher standard to be a caucasian.

    If you are 1/32nd negro and the rest is caucasian, you can call yourself white.

    Nah, you're just making stuff up and now you admit that African Americans are indeed racist because they voted for Obama. :roll:

    Racial attitudes of been around since the dawn of time so you aren't really on to anything new, especially regarding Obama. Obama was a lousy President, period. You bringing race into this just shows you have no real argument, other than to call people racist for nor supporting Obama. Frankly, it's disgusting. Morally bankrupt as well.

    This thread really has a lot to do with the youth these days being fed propaganda by communist and socialist progressive teachers rather than being taught properly. It's always the Democrats screaming racism as much as possible to somehow try and explain away why people vote or act the way they do. They need to look in the mirror and stop playing "identity politics".

    Are all the men who voted against Hillary Clinton sexist as well? Maybe just sexist Democrats who didn't vote her in?? :roll:

    It's not about what you can call yourself, but what others call you. If you're 1/32 Black but have brown eyes and curly hair, you're probably going to be labeled Black. I'm assuming you're being sarcastic, but this does point to that inherent racial attitude.
