Why do we strive for sameness? Why do we not celebrate the differences between the Races?

It's fine to celebrate the differences when they do not benefit White people, but is un-PC to do so when they do.

For example: not too many would have a problem with me saying that Black people are by far and large better runners than White people. But I would be called racist if I said White people are by far and large more likely to get a college/university degree than Black people. Why the double standards?

Though I agree with most of what AprilSky says, he appears to be a white nationalist, if not supremacist. I'm not going to attack or condemn for that, because it is a just reaction to the circumstances we face. However, I would rather focus on the sentiment expressed in the opening post - which rightly proclaims that true global diversity should be sacred.

True diversity is not multiculturalism, or 'melting-pot' nations. Multiculturalism leads to dilution and conflict only, we just haven't seen the conflict yet to come. If we really want to respect ancient cultures and ethnic groups then we must understand that each needs their own lands with their own autonomy. Now you might say that all groups reflected within multicultural societies have their own homelands elsewhere, they're just spreading out. Well you'd be wrong - the English don't! Where does my ethnic group the English flee to when our multicultural country proves disastrous? Where are the indigenous rights of my people? Do they not apply to us like they do the Amazonians or Tibetans?

The only possible conclusion to draw is that a very powerful global force wishes to see (original) Europeans wiped off the face of the Earth, or put to slavery.

Actually you do not know many black people. Why are we a subject as opposed to part of a community? Many black people I know and have the pleasure of having conversations without whites present are completely fed up with stereo types of running, sex, strength, slower aging etc.

The biggest problems with stereotypes is that they put people into little boxes. Racial stereotypes are particularly obnoxious as people get typecast just becasue of skin colour.

Clealry you wish to maintain the current status quo.

How do you know I don't know many Black people? And a lot of White people are fed up with the stereotypes they are given: socially well off, financially secure, hostile to non-whites, privileged etc. It works both ways...

This works very much against White people as well. Injustices committed by people with white skin are used today to demonise White people and make them feel a sense of guilt for something they did not take part in.

Clealry you wish to maintain the current status quo.

Facts are not stereotypes. Of course some facts are more politically correct than others.

And I am ceetainly not interested in political correctness which was actually invented by white academics as a political in joke. It was never meant for general consumption. Do you know that many black people as friends? A simple "yes" or "no" will suffice.

You do not know the level of black literacy and numeracy globally so you are frankly devoid f facts. I am consistently amazed at the poor educational achievements of most whites.

Yet stereotypes often exist because they are true.

edit on 17-7-2011 by ollncasino because: spelling

Steroetypes are not true of all people thus labeeled. Look up the word stereotype in a decent dictionary and then return. If stereotypes were true then you would not wish to hear what some black racists say about your people (which i will not repeat here" but "Hey ho" stereotypes are true aren't they!

Deny ignorance.

Yet you have stereotyped me by assuming I don't know what the word stereotype means!

You have jumped to a conclusion by deciding that anyone who states that "steroetypes often exist because they are true", must not understand what a streotype is.

Why have you not taken the time to get to know me and my views and to see past your own (negative!) assumptions about me?

Is it because I am black?

Stereotype

a set of inaccurate, simplistic generalizations about a group that allows others to categorize them and treat them accordingly

My people?

Are you stereotyping me?

Doesn't it simply make sense to celebrate what you like and ignore what you do not. I don't want to sit around a campfire and sing "we are the world" Ijust want a bit of tolerance and a whole lot less ignorance.

The world is getting a whole lot smaller and we simply must try to get on. The alternative is simply to follow the path to barabarism and civil war! I also will not be singing "we shall overcome to a bunch of racist boneheads"!

But why stereotype all bonehead racists in that manner?

If you took the time to get to know them, as individuals, and stopped tarring them all with the same brush, you may be pleasantly surprised.

Well that's the point. It's quite clear the OP had an agenda for racism. When in fact all that science has proven is that Humans, in face, got busy with their cousins... essentially.

True to some, not to all. And why should I feel bad about stereotypes if they are true?

I'm from a Guido region. I like Italian food, I eat lots of Pizza, I have an accent, and I ah talka like thisa a lotta when I'm angry ehhh?!

It's a stereotype I am living. I don't care though, because insults are only insults when the receiver accepts them as insults. If I saw a black person enjoying watermelon and grape juice, an Asian getting an award for math, and an Indian going to get a medical degree, I would laugh admittedly inside because that's what this dumb culture has said is funny, but I wouldn't view that as making them less interesting.

The fact that someone reinforces a stereotype really has no correlation to their intelligence and ability, which thus leads me to ponder....

Why to stereotypical even exist? They seem to exist for no other reason than to have something to argue over. Which to me, makes it a redundant piece of culture and not worth bothering with.

Perhaps I should explain that I am writing about negative stereoypes but it should be "bleedin Obvious" as to what I was alluding to. OK Please consider that I meant negative stereotypes.

I always thought that italians remind me of souther Europeans and are similar to black people. That my friend is a positive stereotype so do not feel offended as no insult was meant. If you do feel offended well I humbly apologise. I have holidayed in Venice and Lido di Jesolo and no many Italians who settled in Luton after the war.

What you said has two reactions. One, instinctive, is offensive. The other, apathetic, because I don't care. If you like Italians because they remind you of black people that instinctively is offensive because it makes you biased. Then again, Italians are the biggest mongrel race on the planet, with genes all the way from Ireland, to Persia, to Ethiopia. So why should I give a damn?

mankind is a race of savages. We cannot tolerate anything that is different. So we kill or destroy each other. Why? Because we are still savages.

Just a lot smarter and we have better cooler tools to kill each other with.

Your post reflects my exact point of view, there was no need to call me a white supremacist or whatever as this is simply no true.

I fear the extinction of my race ... is a very real fear.

When the Muslims invaded Turkey 500 years ago they smashed babies heads against rocks, they killed everyone except a few pretty girls who had no yet known a man and these they took as sex slaves and wife's.

This is the usual way a take over happens, not with treaties etc the world has seen mostly only this kind of take over. The Indians did it to the whites in North America thousands of years ago, most don't know about it because the governments don't want you to know. The Maoris did to who those who lived in New Zealand before them. In south America the Indians did it to another group of white people that lived there at one stage, painting of these people being killed still survive to this day on walls. Then these people CLAIM to be the natives, they are not, they are simply the latest conquerors.

There is nothing to say this is not how the next WAR will go down.

Just because the west has gone all apologetic and PC does not mean the rest of the world has, they most certainly have not and there is a real hatred of the west and whites out there.

We have seen many true genocides in recent years committed by the Muslims in Africa and it is the Muslims who mostly threaten us, what happens if all the restraints come off and they can get free reign? Will they treat us kindly? I doubt it ... I think it will be Turkey all over again.

We now have no land which we can really defend because these people have been allowed to flood inside ALL our borders and mostly they are young and able!

It really surprises me that people don't even see the danger it is VERY REAL.

There is countless videos out there with these people yelling about how they are going to run the world and the flag will fly over the white house etc etc

I have included some of them in this thread, why do you people refuse to see the danger which is staring you all in the face!

Tell me please, how do you define the term "Racism"?
