    What do you have in mind?

    The population is 73% White and 13% Black. Of course it's dominated by "Caucasians". Blacks have a big influence in our society, IMO, far beyond their percentage of the pop.
    Heck, we have a Black president.

    Times HAVE changed. WHAT IS IT YOU WANT?

    I will say this. Mr. Obama's performance has been such a failure, people who voted for a Black man before might not again. He's made it hard for another Black man to be president now. How much better off WE ALL would have been, if he'd lived up to even half of his promised potential.

    I understood that you had a President who, like most Americans, had a very mixed ancestry. Are you the nazi type of racist who believes any Jewish - or whatever - element in a person's genetic makes him/her Jewish (or whatever)? It seems a pretty nutty concept, and it didn't do your Great Aryan Leader much good, did it?

    As a Latino I can say that blacks and latinos are the root cause of racism in the United States. Blacks are just so primitive in their thinking and behavior they're almost indistinguishable to the rest of the human race. Yet somehow they manage to blame all of their problems on everyone else. Blacks: Stop acting like (*)(*)(*)(*)ing warriors will you? Maybe you will get more sympathy if your music doesn't preach hate? Go to church, you need it. Something about these people. You people are animals. You catch more bees with honey, not murdering, robbing and raping our people. And superbadbrutha, you are so stupid because you are actually breeding more racism and hatred, and not just from whites. And would you quit putting the swords icon in literally every (*)(*)(*)(*)ing post? That's exactly the point, you people are savages who fight your battles with physical violence instead of self-improvement and problem solving. The entire human race is against you strictly because of your thoughts, words, actions, and utter failure to contribute to society. Don't move into my neighborhood because you are going to bring down the value of my home...not to mention you'll probably steal everything inside of it. Thank you.

    No, but Iolo lives in Wales where there's hardly any black "people" and he says race is contemparory and "scientific drivel." I tend to believe him over someone with so much experience of racial issues such as yourself.[/sarcasm]

    Yeah, I mean biologically we are all the same. Fine, all the more reasons to blame blacks for their problems. This is good news negros, the problem isn't that you're dumb, you're culture is toxic.

    1. Pull up your pants
    2. Put down the 40oz
    3. Get rid of your crap music and listen to, get this, ANYTHING else.
    4. **** (can't stress this enough ;)) about your problems. We all go through trials and tribulations. You're not special. You are exacerbating your situation by doing what you are doing.
    5. It is pronounced ASK. That is all.

    Iolo spent a great part of his youth drinking with Muslim Somalis in Cardiff. It broadens the mind considerably.

    It is total fantasy: there are far greater genetic differences between members of your alleged 'races' than there are between those fantasies themselves, and tribes, villages or American political parties are not 'races', as you know.

    You will find none of this racist nonsense before Elizabethan times, as you also know. Like so many racists you are desperately trying to find support where there is none: you are living in a dead-end based on false Nineteenth-Century science. Grow up.

    I'm not interested in playing games with semantics. Obviously, there is NOT "only one race" or we would not be having this discussion.

    Now, if you find it impossible to keep both your feet on the ground at the same time due to all the moonbat precepts which you have absorbed over the years, and which have so ghastly inflated your noggin with the effect of hot air, then I suggest you find a tether and strap yourself down.

    Your vacuousness is starting to annoy me.

    Still under the delusion that Shakespeare invented racism, I see.

    I suppose it is also your contention that Shakespeare pushed the Neanderthal into extinction and massacred all the inhabitants of Jericho.

    "Historically and anthropologically peoples have always had a name for themselves. In a great many cases, that name meant 'the people' to set the owners of that name off against all other people who were considered of lesser quality in some way. If the differences between the people and some other society were particularly large in terms of religion, language, manners, customs, and so on, then such others were seen as less than fully human: pagans, savages, or even animals. (Chalk and Jonassohn, The History and Sociology of Genocide, p. 28.)"

    In the 13th century, the Mongol horsemen of Temüjin Genghis Khan were genocidal killers (génocidaires)[8] who were known to kill whole nations leaving nothing but empty ruins and bones.[15][16] He ordered to slay the Tata Mongols, and all Kankalis males in Bukhara "taller than a wheel"[17] Rosanne Klass has referred to Mongols' rule of Afghanistan as "genocide"[18] Rogerius, a monk who survived the Mongol invasion of Europe, pointed out not only the genocidal element of the occupation, but also that the Mongols especially "found pleasure" in humiliating women.[19] China suffered a drastic decline in population.[20] The Chin census of 1195 showed a population of 50 million people in north China [whereas] the first Mongol census of 1235–36 counted only 8.5 million.

    The problem with racism in America is a lot of people have misconceptions about other races. Also humans naturally tend to be fearful of that which they are ignorant, take Muslims and the fear of terrorism. I have seen all races say incredibly stupid and ignorant things when they are feeling either put upon, or perceive something as racist. I do not think the media helps at all.

    about all I can say about whites for the most part are not generally racist to the point of hating others, they are just ignorant of other races. This works both ways, cultures also play a role in shaping how we view others, and sometimes seeing someone say something differently or act differently provides us with misconceptions. I think most people need to stop lying to themselves and realize that they are probably somewhat racist to which degree depends on the individual.

    I wish we could have a true honest open talk about race in this country. If someone says something hurtful, they shouldnt be bullied into submission, they should be called on it and made to explain it. People are going to make judgments about you, its part of life, its what you do with it that shows your true self. Since i am white its hard for me to understand what racism looks like to other races. Life is hard, sometimes you dont get the job or whatever not because of your race, but maybe they see something you dont see in you.
