i didnt say that. reread. most of today's 'rasta' are watered down philosophies of howellist and garvey (as well as other...especially the notorious 'marley school' of rasta ) philosophies. do some research on the reason the rasta religion even exists and it's original tenets and what haille selassie thought about it. good shit. rasta is dead. the original gangstazzz aint shit no more. no irie ites shit. its all whack. dispersed. no mores. no need to perpetuate the delusion anymore. :cheers2:
No one said they hate whites, no one said anything about hate beyond hating racists, I believe. What was said is that a primary belief of Rasta is liberation from Babylon, which is seen as America and other world superpowers...
what i said was that the teachings of rastafari until recently has been a hatred for the white race and it's nation(s). this comes from the story of japeth and his brothers in the bible or some shit like that. i can pull up the citations for this but there's really no need right now.two of the original 'rules' included superiority of the black raced - and hatred for the white race. the very type or retaliation that perpetuates racism. no wonder the rasta movement failed.
First part, well so do I. If you are white and you know that you as a person arent fully "being a yuppie" or what ever to rap... then why do you say that most white people are. Hell only young white people listen to rap anyway. (ok generalization and probably not 100% true) but... idk. If you were white and started writing about that shit and you are actually from the ghetto then that is No discrace. If you are from the suburbs the yes it is. I know minoritys are treated poorly. Its easy to see. And help of sociology too. My teacher showed us this thing how they had a common "black first name" and a common "white first name" on the exact same job application things. Same exact last name, and other information. And the white name was picked more often. Im aware. And living with white people in the suburbs. Alot of kids are racist and its like they dont even understand what theyre talking about. They are just racist for the hell of it. Yeah all men are created equal. Ive always thought about that bull shit. Ever since ive heard it. How the hell can you say that when you "own" black men and woman as slaves. Good point. I havent always been verbal. It depends who it is, and who you are willing to test in that way. If you understand what im saying. But not being verbal isnt SPREADING racism. Its just not stopping the spreading... Jim crowe laws and such werent worse then slavery? If anything its the same, Since they could still easily be lynched just as when they were slaves, but they didnt have to work for white men. So id say the same, not worse though... What about people, since i know people like this, who like some black people, fucking listen to rap, but are racist to black people as a whole???????? What the fuck is that, cause I see alot of it....
But either way, saying black people have suffered more is just wrong. Every Race and religion for that matter has suffered... Its obvious. Individual here. Past is past. ...... I didnt say anything about white christians??? I said every race and religion. I didnt say which race/religion or how much or for how long..... Read what I wrote. Im not gonna keep arguing about this becuase I dont really care who suffered more or what religions did what. I dont care!
softshell turtles are like peanut butter sandwiches those huge sea turtles are like stale chips with jello smashed in between
No No eating soft shell turtles. They are like little funmeisters. Ya cant eat a seaturtle... Legally... Well kill em i guess......
Exactly, that isn't my life. But a lot of whites are Christian, yet a lot of them are also fearmongers that try to distance themselves from Middle Easterns - quite hilarious to me. Racism tends to exist just for the hell of it. It is conscientious peoples' responsibility to educate, as I try to do myself. It doesn't have to be confrontational or anything, but often turns that way as people don't want to be racist, but they also don't want to change their ways because they suddenly find that they are in fact perpetuating racist actions. It's a knee-jerk reaction and I myself did the same thing; my sister and I were discussing it and I got real pissed off at her for simply pointing out my own faults...it's all good now though. Which is as GOOD as letting it spread :cheers2: This is just my own beliefs because as soon as the emancipation was enacted and the whole 40 acres/mule deal (if they even got it) their living conditions were so poor, they often starved. At least (and in no way is this justification) in slavery, they ate. This is why many blacks went back to work on plantations on pretty much the same conditions as slavery. The Jim Crowe laws made it so that they couldn't easily vote and exercise other freedoms. There are a lot of idiots in the world...it is a mystery how the theory of natural selection hasn't taken hold on the human population...
I ate alligator before, we had a few pounds of meat and made alligator fritters it was so goddam good. I advise it.
I feel a new argument abrewin'!!! WOOHOOO I love me some drama! I hear the Chinese ate all their turtles so they're buyin them from us which is decimating the softshell turtle population. Sad sad situation. Damn chinamen!
Well...the point is that white christians HAVEN'T suffered and to say all have suffered is making small out of huge and awful events. I'm not saying individuals haven't suffered, but INDIVIDUALLY those would have suffered regardless of race/religion.
