Minorities in america are under attack.

star fleet actually did travel back in time, and wanted to warn them, but, that goddamn non-interference . . .

let's see, no whites in america, no cocoa beach, no major nelson, no star fleet - i guess it's a good thing that we wiped out the natives after all!

 

a lot?

that's 2 known, any others are an assumption [safe or otherwise]

and you might want to look into the history of slave-holding native americans prior to emancipation . . .

[it all gets kinda complicated, don't it?]

 

I wasn't aware of that.

But, on the other hand, some Cherokee in Georgia were slave owners. Today the descendants of those slaves are suing for tribal membership.

This is the kind of article I like to see:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20100727/wl_nm/us_africa_summit_gaddafi

Front page yahoo talking about the upcoming United States of Africa! That will finally give me a reason to chant USA USA USA!!

I believe Minorities in america must strive for this same unity that the Africans are seeking. China (and many other Asian countries where Chinese influence is greater than americas), Africa, Latin America leading the way...who can stop us? I also came across this for the american anglos who think that they are still the center of the universe, and that everyone is jealous of them:

What? Obsolete?

 

Except it will never happen because the Arabs hate the Berbers and vice versa, and the light skinned Arabs and Berbers come together to collectively hate on the black africans, who in turn are literally fighting civil wars against different ethnic groups.

You consistently fail to address the fact everyone else is just as racist as white people are, and often more so.

Did you only read the title of the article? It's a metaphor for the rich vs poor gap in the United States.

*edit*
In regards to the United States of Africa, pan-African nationalism has long been a goal of Gaddafi, but it will remain a pipe dream for a long time. Africa has too many ethnic and political civil wars going on in too many countries, the political systems and freedoms vary dramatically across the continent, and the simple issue of infrastructure as it currently stands would leave Africa as a country near impossible to govern. Not to mention the current wealth gap between certain countries vs the rest of Africa. Though the East African Union to my knowledge recently implemented a customs/currency union between their members.

 

The point being though, racism is not a quality inherent to white people. White people just happen to be the socio-economic dominant race in the western hemisphere so white racism tends to effect society to a much larger degree. Racism is alive and well in every race, ethnicity and geographical place where humans live.

But on the topic of white racism in the western hempishere's political and social institutions, here's an interesting article since it discusses racism in Cuba
http://www.theroot.com/views/yes-virginia-there-racism-cuba?page=0,0

 

Are you trying to justify prejudice within the white race because it exists among racial minorities
and other ethnic groups

Hotwater

 

i think the message is this:

saying that prejudice only exists in white people is a racist thing to say

 

No doubt racism exists among every group but there’s little argument that whites lead the way


Hotwater

 

i don't think anyone leads the way

i think that white racism has probably caused more problems than other kinds, mostly due to white expansionism in the new world, africa, and asia

but a hutu or tutsi, or armenian or kurd, or tibetan or uighur, or ainu or korean, or [fill in the blank] might disagree with me . . .

 

White don't lead the way at all, that's the point. Laying all blame on white is racist in itself. Personally I find Asians to be the most racist people I've ever encountered. I've never seen a white person get mad because you called someone who is in fact Italian a German by accident. Same does not go for the Koreans vs Chinese, Japanese vs Koreans, ect. White people are just the dominant ethnic and racial group in this country. If you want racism how about the Rwanada massacre back in '94 when the Tutsis and Hutus went at it? Less people died because of it's much shorter duration then the holocaust, but at it's peak people were dying at almost 20x the rate of the holocaust.

 

Are you kidding from mien kampf to the turner diaries they wrote the friggin' book


Hotwater

 

you need to broaden your reading experiences

 

Mein Kampf is actually generally racist to other white people, i.e. the Jews and the Slavs.

 

actually

since you bring up the turner diaries, have you read it?

then you were as amused as i was by the main character's encounter with a black racist near the end

the black racist helps the white racist escape from prison [if memory serves], and the white racist kindly offers to knock out the black racist [i think he was a guard] for an alibi

the black racist does not wish to be touched by the white man and says he will knock himself out

now that's dedication!

 

been thinking about this more

there is one book that i've seen used by white people more than any other to justify racist actions

genocide, slavery, any evil you can name, for two thousand years

note that the two thousand years does not include the genocide and slavery actually in the book [but then, the israelites were hardly 'anglos']

the winner by a huge margin - and still world champeen . . .

the bible

 

^^^ Bingo! Thanks for that 'wica.

Genesis 9 (King James Version)


18And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.
19These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.
20And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:
21And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
22And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
23And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.
24And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
25And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
26And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
27God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
28And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years. 29And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.

if you watch ip man 2, then you will see why people like china, and the chinese honour code.
as for your original topic, then i can say this. america has always been a racist country. the problem with america is that they claim to be a place of "freedom, and democracy", when it is not. i think that is why i am uncomfortable with the racism in america. if they just came out and said they were racist like they truly are, then i will step back and leave them alone.

 

i do not know why this is, but american high school teachers seem to teach a lot of socially conservative bs while university profesors tend to tell things as they are with limits of course.
