Why do white racists like the KKK think that America is rightfully theirs and no one elses?

Question

and that African Americans should go back to Africa? Don't they realise they are living in the land of the American Indian?
African Americans have as much right to live there as any.
" White Power" racists are such hypocritcal idiots.
Honestly how can people be that stupid?
Is it down to all that inbreeding?

For example look at this site. It's fu*kin terrible.

Answer 1

You're right of course.
I take it you're serious about your question: How can they think that way?
There is a curious phenomenon of human nature. We can call it "group mentality." It's kind of like, if I disagree with my fellow members of the group drastically, I'll take a lot of heat. This is an oversimplified explanation, but I think accurate and illlustrative, nevertheless. It's also called "thinking in a box. "
Your thinking occurs within a confined area, or range of topics and approved/allowed conclusions. It's like doctrine in a specific cult. You have have your own conclusions, but you keep your mouth shut.
Just a few thoughts.
But, your implication is right, it's stupid. It's also dangerous.
Hitler and Nazi-ism fit this picture perfectly.

It's sheer ignorance. Native Americans are the only ones who could claim the land as theirs. Europeans came & stole it from them. America is a melting pot of many different races & cultures. Aside from Aboriginal peoples no one can claim to have more right to be here than anyone else.

I'm a Canadian. My father is Italian & his family moved here when he was 12 yrs old. My grandmother on my Mom's side had Irish & English parents, lived in England & came to Canada as a young woman on the next ship after the Titanic. Everyone came here from somewhere. It's ludicrous for someone to tell an African American to go back to Africa just because their ancestors lived there. You could just as easily say "Go back to Germany/Italy/Ireland!" or wherever their distant relatives moved here from. We are a continent made up of immigrants from all other continents. We should celebrate our diversity. In Canada we have a "cultural mosaic" as opposed to a "melting pot": we encourage people to celebrate their heritage & maintain their culture, language and identity rather than have to assimilate & become "American."

I am not a racist. If I make judgments about people it's based on their actions, not what they look like.

Some people seem to have a misguided sense of entitlement & superiority. It's frightening that there are still people who feel this way. Perhaps they missed the Civil War or they never agreed with Abraham Lincoln anyway. There are some scary folk out there...Luckily the majority of us realize that we must respect all members of the human race.

Violence is the bastard child of Ignorance and Fear. Those with knowledge and understanding are peaceful.

Answer 3

Basically, in an effort that could only be characterized as pure fantasy, the KKK likes to trace its roots to the original colonists who landed on James Forte almost 400 years ago. By all credible accounts based on many years of painstaking research, they were white Anglo-Protestants who sailed from England with only what they could carry on their backs for cargo. As these were the earliest recorded settlers, those warm-hearted and fun-loving guys at the local KKK just assumed that since there were no people of any other skin color manifested, then by some incredible leap of logic that defies all analysis, this country "belongs" to them solely based on the whiteness of the first settlers. Speaking only for myself, I find the KKK's claim to be the rightful heirs of this fine country rather short in the category of believable contexts.

Answer 4

Any hate, or possibly even criticism, directed at a people as a group rather than a particular individual is absurd. It is unfortunate that so many people never realize this and are willing to hate or criticize entire segments of society. Individuals populate the earth. Thoreau stated that we first reform individuals and reformation of society will be the result.
The only refreshing aspect of hate mongering is that we live in a society that allows even warped and hateful viewpoints to be expressed.

Answer 5

I can not stand any form of racism. My step-son came over one day with his shaved head and wanted to use the computer and printed out about a 12 page report on white supremacy. I was so angry with him as I tossed him the report and asked him what that garbage (censored) was all about. Don't people realize that we are all the same, we are all descendants from the same blood line. If a person hates someone simply for the color of their skin or religion, that person is uncomfortable and insecure with their own self.

Answer 6

Your comment about inbreeding seems a little bigoted in itself but I agree with your broader perspective.
Remembering that this is the land of the "free", we just have to tolerate this kind of foolishness because even stupid people have a right to voice their opinions. Yes, even white separatists and racists of all colors.
It's actually good to know who they are so we should allow them to espouse their views out from under their sheets.

Answer 7

Throughout history man kind has enslaved a certain set of people, or restrained gender. It seems shamful to say but that is the nature of human beings. I believe though, that it is a spiritual path that we must all proceed on. Truly learning to live with differences without indifference is necessary for soul developement and a progressive world.

Answer 8

It just goes to show that poor white trash is lacking in the education side. How many times have you heard a skin head or kkk sort say " go back to where you came from". I suppose they forget to ask themselves where they themselves came from, its as if they snoozed right through history class. I wonder if they thought adam and eve where pale skin blue eyed blondes chuckles

Answer 9

The simplist way to solve your problem is get rid of the hyphenated designation and just call yourself American. Your cultural hertiage means little to others although any good American will go out of their way to respect it. Hyphenating for cutural or ethic purposes is insulting to those that feel there is only one people in this country - AMERICANS!

Answer 10

Ah, intense nationalism just about constantly will become racism. They talk of blood purity and the country belonging to a particular race! i think that lots of those human beings won't substitute their techniques because of the fact those recommendations are deeply ingrained interior. that's unhappy however the wonderful element of do is forget approximately approximately those human beings or coach them the certainty. we are all equivalent as human beings. i understand that any race or individual of an united states of america could have his recommendations-set. those human beings have "themes"!
