At least not as a group. Neither is any other race for the matter. It drives me crazy when PF members refer to their people on the basis of race. From the perspective of an American it is extremely misguided. For example, our top threats to national security include Russia and Islamic extremists, both of which are composed of a substantial amount of white people. Like it or not, at this point in world history the predominant actors are the nation-states and those wishing to become a nation-state. Even al-Qaeda sees this distinction and has not declared war on White people. White and black Americans have inherently more in common than a white person from east Europe especially a former soviet state. It's time to move past divisions based on race and stop fearing our own damn countrymen becomes they look differently than us. E pluribus unum
A Lithuanaian has far more in common with a white guy from Boston than that guy has with some Trayvon Martin type
Since you assert it I'll leave the onus on you to prove it. I fail to see how a white in America has almost anything beyond his race in common with a Lithuanian, whereas Travon Martin was my countryman and any Bostonians, white or not
Most Americans probably don't care about Lithuania at all... But a white man from Boston clearly cares about the "trayvon Martin" types... https://mobile.twitter.com/highimdanny/status/356262700818522112 - - - Updated - - - Well I actually started this thread to prove what I think is your implied point, we shouldn't care about race. It's not relevant and the primary actors in the world are nation-states and those seeking statehood
The reason why race is important to some people is because some people think that everybody has to be like them or they don't mean a damned thing and are worth absolutely nothing. An awful lot of people in America of many different beliefs and opinions only value people who are like them.
Yeah . . . because saying it will make it so when you have rump-hooks like Obama, Holder, Sharpton, and even Chris Matthews TRYING like hell to gin up race wars. In this nation the leftists are doing everything they can to make a race war happen and if they keep pushing as hard as they have been doing for the last few years then they just might manage it; which would be bad for this nation, very bad indeed.
No, we can hope that there isn't going to be a race war, but with huge factions on the Left doing their best to cause one to happen we cannot know that there won't be one after all. Time will tell.
You really think there are a substantial numbers of people on the left want a race war? If so, do you think it'll break down on ideological lines? Do republicans see themselves as the party of the whites in this scenario? I think our country is a little bit more stable than that. That's like thinking David duke will prompt a race war where whites will slaughter blacks. The really is there is no white America. There is no black America. There is a United States of America and our futures are intertwined in the success of our government, economy, military, and other national tools.
No; while once upon a time there was a generalized agreement that there was a United States of America in which our futures were entwined in the success of our government, economy, military, and other national tools, that was before the Left aggressively began utilizing the ideologically based tools of political propaganda to categorize citizens into niche groups and then turn those groups hostile towards the majority group. For the last six years this leftwing habit has gone from a passive to an active approach and now it's gone viral in intensity. Will it gradually tone down after the Divider-in-Chief and his administration operatives have slimed and oozed their way out of office and overt positions of power at the end of 2016? We can only hope that it does . . . or at least that then the Left halts it with this deliberate escalation. It will be interesting to watch. Note that the above screed (and of course just because it is screed that doesn't invalidate its assertions) fails to take into account that inclusive of the points raised the Left has also very quite deliberately created and then inflamed a general hatred of the less financially solvent against those citizens at the very top of the fiscal pyramid, a huge irony in that the very leftwing figures most intend upon creating such hatred are usually themselves among those very 1 percent at the top with themselves evincing no palpable interest or intention of divesting THEMSELVES of their own private economic advantages. So forth and so on.
In case you haven't noticed, the only people rambling on about "race wars" are the few "new black panther" clowns that has FOX news viewers tearing their hair out, and of course bitter right wingers. The thing is, these right wingers who talk about "race wars" only do so behind the safety of their computer screens, inside the confines of their parents basements. Most of them are too stupid to participate in any type of "race war", and most of them are physical cowards anyway who are only emboldened to spout racist drivel thanks to the anonymity of the internet. Most of them are pariahs in the real world.
You can thank democrats for the focus on race. They play identity politics and need everyone to be divided by race,gender or any thing they can use to get votes. That is the bottom line. They use fear and anger to keep blacks voting for them. As long as it works they will keep it up. I do not care about racism. Those that fall for the nonsense are just naive.
