Other - Cultures & Groups - September 2007

The reason i ask this question is because it depends on who you are talking to. I dont believe that America should be the poster child of civlization. Having the latest technology and human "free" rights does not account for civilization. How can we be the most civilized when when we have politicians in office like Mr. Craig, have the best healthcare system and people are dying unecessarily because they cant afford a Rx med, kids no longer think of the traditional family as having a mother and father, but having 2 daddy and 2 mothers is accepted. Our men are dying in foreign counntries in record numbers for no apparent reason; I truly question the civilzation of this place we call America. Lets look at other countries, even though poor; most of these countries dont have same sex households, morrally they value the family structure and their kids respect the mother and father and the extended family is considered just as important. These poorer countries realize what matters.

My fiance tells me nonstop that (basically) Jew's are the best people to ever live. "They're the chosen one's".. they invented more "important stuff".. they are more charitable than any other people.. they are "smarter and have more money".

I've been with her for 3 years, but all of her family and friends give me this vibe. It seems to also be a stereotype to an extent.

I love her to death, but what is this about? Have you ever noticed this?

Police in Norfolk VA are investigating a brutal attack on a 13 year old white student by a group of blacks. Will Al Sharpton march here too?

Blacks are raised in a culture of violence. That is the reason there are more blacks in prison than in grad school. That is the reason the leading cause of death among black men is being murdered by other black men.

If this attack doesn't qualify as a hate crime, then we just ahve to admit that "hate crimes" are merely a way to keep alive the myth that whites actively target blacks. A white person is 10 times more likely to be attacked by a black person, than a black person is to be attacked by a white.

Something must be done about this rap culture of violence.

I had an answer removed yesterday, because I said Black Africans look down on African-Americans as lazy, violent and dysfunctional. I just want to post some support for that position. Since it's not PC for a white man to comment on black culture, I'm including a quote from a black "scholar" and a link if anyone is more interested.

But, almost invariably, whenever the Nigerians talked about African Americans, they would use the term akata. I didn't know what they meant by that and I never asked them. It didn't take me long to figure out that they were referring to American blacks. I did not detect any hostility towards them, or a condescending tone when they talked about these cousins of ours in the diaspora. ... It was not until years later that I found out what the term akata meant after I read an article in the Detroit Free Press by a Nigerian reporter, or someone with a Nigerian (Yoruba) name, who explained what it meant: a brutal wild animal or something like that.

why isnt it considered a hate crime that six Black dudes beat up a White boy, but then they think that those White dudes who jumped on robert Bailey at that "White" party isnt a hate crime? And also that White guy who pulled a gun on those Black guys too? How come yall always try to ignore that?

And please notice I said SOME of yall.

I'm giving a speech on the Apache and wherever i go online, it says that there's really no difference between the Apache and the Navajo, other than the name. Is it true? Are there any reliable sources online where I can get more info on the Apache(my instructor said that we can't use Wikipedia).
Thanks

cmon 6 of them beat up ONE student. who cares if the student went out later on that night.. that doesnt mean the assault didnt happen. that doesnt mean that there wont be any long term affects from being beaten till you were knocked out cold. if 6 white kids beat up one black boy then jesse jackson would be DEMANDING the jena 6 get max sentence. and thats a fact. black people sure only use that race card when its to your advantage. the black people that support these thugs disgust me and you deserve to be in prison too for conspiracy. if you support these gangsters than you are scum just like them. no if ands or buts about it.

I am white and proud and not a racist.

Why is it white people cannot stand up and say they are proud to be white?
Why is it there can be "the chinese group" "the black group" but we can't have the white group?

I can be called whity, but if I call someone ***** (N*gga) , Kaffir or Chink I am racist? See i spell it and it is "*****" yet whity isn't.

We can have black radio and punjabi radio, yet if there was white radio it would be taken off-air for not being politically correct?

Am I the only one who thinks that we have gone politically correct crazy?

And how come whites are the only racists?
