    Well, seeing as blacks have had a couple of centuries of racism, apartheid, lynchings and beatings just for being black, I'd say your whinings are like a fart in a hurricane.

    The guy was trying to sell us Horus The Avenger the other day. Sense precludes me linking the inane garbage.

    Recasting Adolf as a keen lefty is the new black. :D

    Recasting the left as the real racists is how the neonazi circa 2014 gains friends, targeting as they do the credulous right wing mind. A fair few of which have been engaged in agreeable race based conversation with this specimen over the past few days.

    That's not to assume everyone doing it is party to the new edicts and guidelines handed down from upon that lofty, snow peaked mountain hideout or finds neonazism agreeable, just that it's how influence is garnered and the message is spread today.

    It'd be funny if it wasn't so predictably dull although it is moderately amusing watching the weasel language wend its merry way.

    "Burn it" my wise old grandma used to say when nazism reared it's mutant head. She had a way with words, too.

    So because white people who are long dead were racist, black people today are allowed to be racist? And you want it to go away? How is it possible when you want revenge? And if you think what I said is whining, no WONDER it will never go away, because people like YOU are far too interested in keeping it alive and well.

    Its whining to think racism is wrong? WOW.

    Damn brother. That is one Jerry-Springer-audition-like whine. Look at it this way: Only 300 more years of oppression to go! HAR! Inshallah, Nat Turner

    Oh my good Lord no! Persecution, oppression and victimization of white folks is much, much too serious to make light of!

    There are plenty of proud, lilywhite racists alive and kicking; just check this forum for confirmation. I don't need to refer back to those "long dead", I have plenty of contemporaries to choose from.

    Ignoring those who obviously go over the deep end, is racism against certain groups OK or not? Either you are for racism or against it. You can't be OK with it as long as it doesn't hit a certain demographic, because, "Hey, a bunch of dead guys did it to my ancestors, so I can do it now to living people who aren't racist at all...". So which is it?

    In that case, I should still be holding a nasty grudge against Germans and demand reparations. But then, only crazy people think that way.

    - - - Updated - - -

    And there are plenty of black racists living around us too. False?

    Racism is unethical, at least. You may dislike unfamiliar look, customs or language, but you should look deeper to be a Great Person. In hard time of your life, you can get help from a person of a different race. Greed is a sign of a lower race regardless of skin color.

    Exactly; I'd love to see these racist scum refusing life-saving surgery because the medic was a different colour.

    Oh my god....someone made the demand. Did it happen? Did it happen in the US, which is OBVIOUSLY what I referring to? We're talking justified racism because of slavery...something LIBERALS here brought up.

    So AGAIN, you avoided the question. Is racism OK or not? If its NOT, then racism against any race is wrong. But if you don't see it as a problem when directed at certain races, you obviously for it. SO which is it. ANSWER the question or just continue being a troll.

    Of course racism is not ok, and I have never argued otherwise. There, happy now?

    I guess you imagine that conservatives support big government mind control, such as nazi propaganda. That kind of government only comes from the left. Perhaps you should study the left, if you do you will understand that the left is racist quite often, they are certainly racist in the US today.

    from your like from 2009.

    Minister Steinitz will reportedly present German government with the demand on behalf of 30,000 Israeli survivors of forced labor in wartime ghettos, during a joint session scheduled to take place in early 2010 in Berlin.

    Israeli officials estimate that according to a ghetto workers act passed by the German parliament in 2002, all of the 30,000 living forced labor survivors are entitled to a retroactive payment of approximately 15,000 euros each.

    However, Finance Ministry officials say that according to the German government's calculations, the one-time payment is larger than that estimated by Israel, and reaches a total of 1 billion euros.

    the stupid thing about racism is that it is predicated on an accident of birth.

    The racist, be he whatever color, had absolutely NOTHING to do with his skin pigmentation.

    The notion that some how racism is the sole domain of white peoplle is ridiculous.
    Of course Rush once tried to establish the notion of "reverse racism" which is truly assinine.

    Unfortunately you can find racism and bigots every where of every color, demomination, ethnicity, ideology, etc.

    The truly sad thing is that we are all one species all sharing the identical genome.
    Once there was a bunch of guys who thought that all men were created equal, but even they only thought of their kind as men and the rest kinda sub human.

    As for developing countries, Honduras, Costa Rica, Liberia, and Beliz. I went there as a teenager on mission trips with my church.
