You're right, I was wrong, I'm sorry.
But sometimes, "that which hurts, instructs" (Benjamin Franklin) and in this case I quickly learned something as well..
You haven't instructed anything but your own hypocrisy.
Multicultural society's do not work, they all live side by side but do not integrate with each other.

No one is demanding that any (Asian countries where ethnic violence occurred) should be flooded with other races because of events from the past.
Anti-Whites ONLY use events from the past as justification for flooding EVERY White country with other races and forcing everyone to assimilate.

It wasn't a few that I've had bad experiences with, It was the majority and No I do not live a sheltered life. I live within walking distance of 3 housing projects, 2 of which are the biggest in the county. I've had my fair share of experiences both negative and positive, the majority being negative.
Where I live is in between Pittsburgh, Buffalo and Cleveland. All within an hour and a halfs drive away. That alone should speak volumes.

We came from one race and we will end (if we don't kill each other first) as one. Maybe then we can finally acknowledge that the only race that matters is the human race. Probably a bit to lovey, dovey and new agey to be accepted as fact in our current state of mind.
Imagine being able to be proud of ALL the rich cultures that exist or have existed. Now that would be a useful thread topic, I think. This one though
I disagree with the statement about us all coming from the same race.... more logical to say that our creator race (ET's) genetically engineered mankind with various kinds of primates.
Yeah, we tend to agree with theories that cater to our ego (myself included), but who knows? Maybe one day. Is that the only statement of mine that you disagree with?

You came off very courteous and I appreciate that. With so much screaming being done around here it was a pleasure seeing someone disagree without being disagreeable, if that makes any sense. I asked about any other disagreements as a genuine way to share ideas as you seem to be levelheaded in your discussions. I too believe in ET's, by the way and wonder how they fit into our history.
Thanks for replying.

I disagree with your distasteful premise. Racism goes hand in hand with religious intolerance. It's the root to some of the worst problems in this world. Without them, our world would be a much more peaceful place. Excusing this behavior - as you attempt to do with pop sociology - is both misguided and offensive.

No problem!
When carefully examined, the DNA of humans is at least 96% a match with chimpanzees....but then we have that mysterious 4%, labeled 'mystery' DNA or 'junk' DNA. Primates never evolved into modern humans....we were quantum leaped...we haven't been here long enough to have evolved to our current state.
Your statement tho, is valid when you discussed how us humans don't embrace all of the cultures on our planet. I thought about that, and decided that maybe, just maybe, what we consider 'evil' will always be subjective....
for example: do we consider the lion who eats the lamb 'evil'? or is it just his nature?
something to ponder......

What you are objecting to is really the remorse and regret articulated by thoughtful, feeling white people concerning white Europeans' (and Americans') past mistreatment of non-whites. And yes, of course these concerns have been taken up and amplified by the non-white descendants of those mistreated people, as well as by various interest groups that see an advantage in talking up the past sins of white folk. For all that, one cannot sensibly claim that the mistreatment did not occur, nor that the consequences of it have not lasted to this day. Part of the white man's burden is, and must necessarily be, a burden of guilt.
I don't have trouble admitting that mistreatment occurred and that they are indeed sad parts of history. But why must we limit this to White people? Surely "Asian man" or "Black man" have negative periods of their history that they could acknowledge and reflect over. The mistreatment of human beings is not a "white only" phenomenon. Just because recent history is filled with examples of "White man's" mistreatment of others does not mean it's the only group worthy of scrutiny. But this seems largely to be the case in modern times.
It must be galling for a white person (who has as much reason to be proud of his own forebears and culture as anyone else) to keep hearing about this historical bad rap, but them's the breaks. It is not a conspiracy to put white people down. It's just one of the things white people have to live with. But then, there are things we all have to live with.
Would you say the same thing ("them's the breaks") if it were Asian people continually being reminded about how much bad stuff "they" did in the past? It's easy to say "that's the way it is" when it is not yourself and people like you having this stuff shoved in their face all the time.
Some people believe there is indeed a conspiracy to promote anti-white sentiment in the West and throughout the world and it is not just based on a whim either.edit on 13/1/2012 by Dark Ghost because: (no reason given)

And as has been said, NUMEROUS TIMES, your generation didn't necessarily have a vote, because of the acts of your ancestors. Again, I don't blame this generation of whites for what was done by their previous generation, but it was their actions that caused you to be inable to scream "INJUSTICE" because this region (and others) are now melting pots. It was a vaccuum effect created by history. You are simply expressing disdain for the loss of a feeling of entitlement that you don't rightly have. The region that you're in may no longer be a primarily white area, but it is because those other cultures were ushered in by your ancestors. The more you try to shift the blame, the more you show yourself to be perpetuating the idea that 'the white man wants his land back', which - I'm sorry - but you are not entitled to. I would feel the same about any other race that was in the position that yours might be, in their own regions, but you cannot compare present situations, because they are not the same, no matter how much you want to pretend that they are.
And what question did I try to dodge, exactly?
"3. Read the definition clearly. I'll help you out here "genocide meansany of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group"
Use your brain effectively. I'll help you out there: At no point does simply asking one to clarify their interpration of 'white' constitute ANY of the listed acts. None. Not a single one. You are making stuff to prove a non-existent point. I know middle-schoolers with a better grasp of logic.

To go along with your line of thinking help me to understand please how if Asians descend from Asia, Africans descend from Africa, Australians descend from Australia... where do "whites" descend from? I am "white" but I am from North America so therefore I am American and so is anyone who happens to have been born in America, right? It doesn't matter your skin color because it seems to me that cultures are labeled based on region at least in the limited line of thinking you imply. So wouldn't that make some white skinned people Europeans, Americans, Africans (yes, African even if your skin is "white") because that is the region in which a HUMAN is born?
I think the anti- white is genocide is blah blah blah is basically code for - NON-EDUCATED... Just my opinion, but then what do I know. I am just a "white woman" right? lol. Seriously, lighten up before you give yourself a heart attack.

That's the whole point. Multiculturalists accept cultural differences and the desire of people to seek out their own kind, inviting peaceful coexistence but not insisting that everybody be the same. In other words, integration is beside the point.

- Nobody of any consequence is asking for that in respect of any white-majority country. Individuals – political and economic refugees – are asking to be let in; that is perfectly understandable and reasonable.
- The flood in reverse already happened. White Europeans poured into Asian, African and New World countries and bled them white. In the process they also mingled their blood with that of the natives. In addition to those two Asiatic ethnic groups I mentioned earlier, I also have forebears of a third race: English. There's probably some Portuguese in me, too. I am as proud of my European heritage as I am of the Asian; do you know of any reason why I should not be?
Anti-Whites ONLY use events from the past as justification for flooding EVERY White country with other races and forcing everyone to assimilate.
Perhaps 'anti-whites' do. White people have no monopoly on racism. But such people, if they exist, are as few in relative numbers as truly committed white racists are. Most of the non-white immigrants to Western Europe and Asia are simply seeking to better their opportunities in life. They are not coming to steal your women and dilute your precious blood; those are just the perverted sexual fantasies of white racists.
