"It's Okay To Be White" flyers found on local university campus

From your posts you read and follow the bible. That is following an organized religion.

 

And Broadway wants to convince you Americans the founding fathers who created our government were all black. When will we have a Broadway production of Roots with an all white cast? Or a "I Had a Dream" production with Tom Cruise play MLK?

 

not hardly. I read the Bible. I gather with others that study it and we discuss it's meaning. The only unifying factor is the Holy Spirit. That is as far as any organization goes, As the scriptures say "it is not of any private interpretation". Religion is mans effort to reach God. My faith is acknowledging God's effort to reach mankind. There are religions that use the Bible for their platforms I acknowledge.

 

Jewish prisoners are accepted into Arian Brotherhood gang on US prisons. Jews are whites.

 

Have what right? All I did was ask a question.

Congratulations. What the hell's your point?

So he should be proud as hell to be black. Right?

 

I interpret scriptures as the writings of humans long past, generally written and used for political purposes at a time when there was no separation between religious and secular authority. The Bible itself was compiled by the Romans long after the works themselves had been written, and of course human interpretation determined which scriptures would be included in it and which would not.

I was raised Lutheran and had a sola scriptura approach to Christianity before ultimately acknowledging what I knew and felt deep down - that it was all just a product of what I described above and of humanity's basic need to seek comfort in the face of mortality and a life that is often beyond our control.

 

Not at all. I believe all people should be treated equally with the same rights and privileges.

But you are correct, America was not built that way — we were a nation of slavery and genocide.

Why do you feel your beliefs should have special privileges?

I never said I have faith in the supernatural, just that I have considered it as one of many possible truths.

 

Who Will Stand up for the Straight White Males??? When will it be our turn???

We control all the levers of power in this society, and have since its creation. Do some of you realize you sound like the biggest snowflakes in the universe?

 

Do I have to spell it out for you? Yes, he should. Everyone should be proud of who they are, and nobody should be afraid or ashamed to say it. There should be no guilt in celebrating black accomplishments, and there should be no guilt in celebrating white accomplishments. Yet black people get a whole month where their successes are celebrated, yet if any suggestion is made to make a white history DAY even, there are protests of racism, fascism, etc, etc., and insults of how white people should be ashamed of their ancestors.
People argue that we don't need a day, but if it is pointed out that that makes us the most successful race by far as far as advances in science, technology, medicine, discovery and exploration, that too is called racist, fascist, etc etc.

I'm not even sure how this topic got in this thread, but since you are asking, there is my reply.

 

No more so than most other nations. If they were not formed that way, they were formed by other nations that were formed that way.

 

Absolutely correct.

 

The bolded part above is absolutely correct and it begs the question why?

One theory goes like this:

In Africa men were valued for their physical prowess which enabled them to hunt and fight off other tribes, a big strong and fast man was a fine catch for a woman. In Europe men were valued for their knowledge, their ability to build bridges, ships and buildings. The European arts and music were much more complex which used advanced tools and instruments. One group had brawn, one had brains, and you can easily see that today as black dominate sports while whites choose the nerdy path. In most cases, neither whites nor blacks can venture into the space the other occupies. The unfortunate thing is what blacks are good at doesn't allow them to lead the way for the masses, they can merely dominate physically inferior people. But what whites are good at usually benefits the masses. If there were no Europeans around, do you think blacks would enjoy the things they have today? I seriously doubt they'd be enjoying much of it.

Do you know how current day blacks say they are oppressed by slavery because slavery is in their DNA. If that's really the case, and if you think it all the way through, then by their own words blacks are not set up to succeed in western life and culture. While blacks might thrive in other white majority countries, I'm sure those blacks don't believe the DNA of slavery is holding them back. As an example, even though I'm part Armenian, I can safely say within me is no DNA of the genocide by peeps suffered. Same thing with the discrimination the Irish and Italian side of me endured.

It would be a wonderful thing if liberals saw blacks as equals and not people needing a boost because without it blacks won't succeed. But the left keeps telling them they're victims, the left feels guilty for things they never did to people it never happened to. Because of that, blacks, and it's human nature, take advantage of it, who wouldn't if they were constantly bombarded with those ideas? If people gave me a never ending verbal onslaught of how being Armenian makes me a victim of the Turks and I could get reparation money from those turks, then don't you think I'd eventually come around to believing it?

 

Nice revisonist history. Nice and warped that is.

America was formed as a result of a revolution against tyranny. Great Britian established slavery in the colonies and taxed the people without representation. The patriots were not having it.

After the revolution, slavery was eventually abolished even at a great cost to the economy. Democrat slave owners did not want to give up their slaves so there was a civil war.

Glad I could clear that up for you.

 

So you follow an organized religion. You base what you believe in of God on what is said in the Bible, believing it to be the Word of God. That He is trying to reach and guide you through the words in the Bible to Him.

Why?

 

Actually its not revisionist, at least that statement isn't. Many nations were built via war and/or slavery. History is FULL of one nation conquering another or born from another that died and slavery was often part of those changes. Even Native Americans held slaves long before even the Vikings found the Americas.

 

I'm not confused about any of that. I'm saying I get annoyed when people try to say we were founded on slavery and genocide. Yeah, we had that issue, but we corrected it, forcefully, and hardly any nation on earth did not go through such growing pains. I don't like the USA being portrayed as being some exclusively evil slave nation as liberals would like it to be portrayed as.

 

I interpret them differently.

 

When will we ever see an end to the "Hate America 1st crowd????
We were no more a nation of genocide than the tribes on this continent who committed genocide on other tribes. We had many of the ratifiers who were opposed to slavery from the beginning. It became a secondary issue to the issue of holding the colonies together to form this great Nation. Eventually we felt the scourage and fought a War over the issue and rectified it. Of course you would not like to acknowledge that because you would prefer to denigrate a Nation whose motto is "In God We Trust"!

 

I don’t hate america, I love America,
Stating facts is not hate.

I don’t understand what the rest of your screed is, the founders had contempt for a national religion — they said so numerous times — or they would have placed it in the constitution.

Which god in particular? There are so many I cannot keep up.
You realize that was added much later in the US than our founding, yes?

 

I disagree on the word "organized" because I read the Bible and find it to be true. The things described in the Bible I find to be beyond the imaginations of men. Things are revealed through it's reading that no man could invent.
I'll give you one small thing that comes to mind:
It is said by secularists that the whole resurrection thing of Jesus was a hoax. It was revised and the story made up years later as an opiate of the people. Given that, just look at this one thing. In the Judean and mideast culture of the time as well as most cultures around the world, women were given no legal credibility as witnesses to anything. Given this historical fact, what was going through the mind of those who wrote the Gospel accounts that the very 1st witnesses to that resurrection were women? Wouldn't a forger know better than to give an account of women as the 1st witnesses to the resurrection? Couldn't they come up with something more believable?

My conclusion is that when telling the truth, it stands on it's own. So what if the culture gave no credibility to women? Jesus did.

 

So you are annoyed because people state fact?

The point I was trying to convey is that what we once were is not what we are now.
America (the continent not the Nation) was founded on genocide, theft, and pillage.
America (the colonies and the Nation) grew into an economic powerhouse because of slavery.

Facts are not racist.

 

So I am guessing you have never seen Star Wars, The Avengers, Lord of the Rings, or Alien then?

 

The Founders had contempt for a State sponsored religion. I do too. You seem to have contempt for my faith and the faith of a majority of the Founders. Take a trip to Washington DC. Evidence of their faith is everywhere ascribed on monuments.

 

How dare you attribute that Star Wars crap to me! cd8ed

 

It was not “because of slavery”. There was plenty of wealth being generated in America that had nothing to do with slavery. Slavery was an issue, certainly, but America did not become an economic powerhouse because of slavery alone.

As far as the genocide thing goes, that is nothing unique or special, all nations were formed that way.
