    And those countries are better off for it:

    Take up the White Man’s burden—

    Send forth the best ye breed—

    Go send your sons to exile

    To serve your captives' need

    To wait in heavy harness

    On fluttered folk and wild—

    Your new-caught, sullen peoples,

    Half devil and half child

    Take up the White Man’s burden

    In patience to abide

    To veil the threat of terror

    And check the show of pride;

    By open speech and simple

    An hundred times made plain

    To seek another’s profit

    And work another’s gain

    Take up the White Man’s burden—

    And reap his old reward:

    The blame of those ye better

    The hate of those ye guard—

    The cry of hosts ye humour

    (Ah slowly) to the light:

    "Why brought ye us from bondage,

    “Our loved Egyptian night?”

    Take up the White Man’s burden-

    Have done with childish days-

    The lightly proffered laurel,

    The easy, ungrudged praise.

    Comes now, to search your manhood

    Through all the thankless years,

    Cold-edged with dear-bought wisdom,

    The judgment of your peers!

    Wow, you seem to hate a lot of people. And when you speak of the poorly educated you need to remember two things, maybe three: Take a look at who the poorly educated are, you won't like it. After that, take a look at IQ score by whatever criteria you choose and I guarantee you won't like that either. But when it comes to being educated, I'll take the plumber and electrician over the gender studies queen every day.

    Hey leftists, describe what you think a white supremacist is, where they meet, what they do, and then list all the damage they've done. I'll pretty much guarantee you that illegals, blacks, Muslims, Chinamen, Africans, Middle Easterners, etc. have done much more. And if a person is a white supremacist because s/he's proud to be white, then by definition that would also include blacks, Muslims, Middle Easterners, Africans, etc.

    That only works if you think that all white people support white supremacy. But yeah... I can't say right wing America openly voiced that they do not agree with the extreme far right violent ways. Only the white people in Antifa and BLM do so. Small minority. So, you got a point there. Them muslims do have those marches that the terrorism is not in their name.

    It IS about white people. The UN turd can't name a country, group, sect, place, or even an act that was committed. Did you see the story about how the black guy slashed the face of a Flip and they protested against imaginary white people?

    Can you show me some of this evil? There has to be a huge amount of it in order to be an international threat.

    It is rather racist to make the Shia civilian population in Yemen die out, which is what the US is doing with their naval blockade.
    The US did the same thing against Iraq. The US accomplished 1/2 a million Iraqi children to die by making them drink contaminated water.
    The official response to that was "it's worth it".

    Goes hand in hand with that white supremacy theme.

    And that's just it, they can't tell us who the white supremacists are, why they're a threat and what attacks they've carried out that make them an international terror group.

    This is all about hating on white people. They want us to feel guilty, they want us to apologize for things we didn't do, they want us to go to the back of the line, and they want us to surrender our culture.

    A “poorly educated” plumber or electrician is 1000x more valuable and useful to society than all the Gender studies, African History, Humanities, Anthropology, PHDs combined. All those people can do is write blogs or teach the next generation useless information that doesn’t benefit society in the slightest.

    Actually, I asked lemmiwinx for a link to HIS/HER claim (Post #26).

    YOU just chimed in to be cute and snarky.

    If you're gonna barge in to something you weren't even ask for the LEAST you could do is provide even a hint of proof as to what you're "claiming"

    Those that say, "Look it up yourself" are just babbling non-provable claims just to hear themselves talk (or see themselves post, in this case).

    What the hell is wrong with you?

    White supremacy | Britannica

    "White supremacy, beliefs and ideas purporting natural superiority of the lighter-skinned, or “white,” human races over other racial groups. In contemporary usage, the term white supremacist has been used to describe some groups espousing ultranationalist, racist, or fascist doctrines. White supremacist groups often have relied on violence to achieve their goals".

    https://www.counterextremism.com/content/us-white-supremacy-groups

    "The Counter Extremism Project (CEP) has identified eight especially virulent white supremacist groups, which principally espouse white ethno-nationalism and/or National Socialism (neo-Nazi). Neo-Nazi groups, such as the National Socialist Movement (NSM), Hammerskin Nation, and Atomwaffen Division (AWD), generally make no effort to hide their belief that the white race is superior to others."

    Sufficient proof?

    Doombug asked for proof of their existence, not a definition of the term.

    The groups mentioned are just an unproven claim.

    White Supremacy Groups in the United States | Counter Extremism Project

    Since the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) first formed in 1865, white supremacist groups in the United States have propagated racism, hatred, and violence. Individuals belonging to these groups have been charged with a range of crimes, including civil rights violations, racketeering, solicitation to commit crimes of violence, firearms and explosives violations, and witness tampering.* Nonetheless, white supremacist groups––and their extremist ideologies––persist in the United States today. A February 2017 Southern Poverty Law Center report identified 100 active white nationalist and 99 active neo-Nazi groups in the country.* In an October 2020 assessment by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf declared that white supremacist violent extremists “have been exceptionally lethal in their abhorrent, targeted attacks in recent years.”*

    1. "White supremacy" refers to racial and cultural differences.

    In the US, Australia and Britain, all countries with substantial black minorities, the same ideologies identified above apply in all three countries.

    2. In Germany neo Nazi groups hold similar views relating to cultural differences eg toward Muslims.

    Sure, bigotry exists in all cultures; and as to the severity of the problem:

    " In an October 2020 assessment by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf declared that white supremacist violent extremists “have been exceptionally lethal in their abhorrent, targeted attacks in recent years.”*



    QUOTE]White Supremacy is in the past. So no I won't feel guilty and nor should anybody else.[/QUOTE]

    To your 1st point: no it's not "in the past"; see the underlined in the above quote.

    As to the 2nd point: you don't have to feel guilty about "white supremacist" ideology, provided you don't support that evil ideology....

    Actually, there is more truth in the statement: 'It's the economy' stupid" ....than you realize.

    I draw your attention to the causes of white supremacist ideology: it's based on a reaction to the competition for resources and achievement of economic well-being, which in our current evil Friedman supply side economic system manifests as entrenched unemployment among less competitive/capable individuals of all races, whether white or black. That is, groups are turned against one-another, and blame the other for their poor economic circumstances, when the real problem is a dysfunctional economic system.

    Fact is: a 'good' economy can employ everyone at above poverty level.

    In respect of which, Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley has just yesterday presented a resolution to congress, to legislate that very outcome:

    How come you left out the lines

    By all ye cry or whisper,
    By all ye leave or do,
    The silent, sullen peoples
    Shall weigh your gods and you.

    Whilst you and your ilk see "that squirrel over there", here's where the REAL racial supremacy problem reveals it's ugly head...

    Are you really arguing that since black racists exist, white racists don't exist? And after a bunch of citations about white racists were just posted?

    Like I said, blacks living in poverty in wealthy countries like the US and Australia are likely to be angry about their high incarceration, unemployment and poverty rates, cf whites.

    Of course, Obama DIDN'T introduce any real change, that guy in the video is correct.

    So he sees violent revolution as the only way out, when the real problem is a dysfunctional Friedman neoliberal supply-side economy that results in entrenched poverty and unemployment, for a disadvantaged minority in all races**, though mostly blacks in the US.

    ** which is a source of white supremacy gang membership who don't achieve economic prosperity for themselves, just as black disadvantage is a source of membership for violent black gangs.

    Meanwhile, see how YOU are looking "over there", instead of here:

    "In an October 2020 assessment by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf declared that white supremacist violent extremists “have been exceptionally lethal in their abhorrent, targeted attacks in recent years.”*

    Here is the way to introduce REAL change (via a resolution to congress, yesterday):

    https://twitter.com/i/status/1364019849605697539


    Notice Powell near the end saying full employment is his goal...but he has yet to face the fact that Friedman economic orthodoxy in which he is operating can never create above-poverty, real full employment..
