Instead of having the NAACP or LULAC for example. Why don't these organiztions which claim to be for the equality of all people get together to help all those that truely need the help? Aren't they also contributing to the race issue by seperating themselves like that.

You make a great point, and I completely agree with you. This is part of an answer that I gave to a similar question:


My opinion is that forming groups to combat discrimination is a good thing. But what such groups need to do is fight discrimination itself rather than focusing on any specific group(s) of people. Focusing on specific groups doesn't help. Doing so allows double standards to flourish, and discrimination shifts back and forth. Likewise, racial tensions continue to build. There is absolutely no way we can end discrimination by forming this group to help black people or that group to help white people. For example: Let's say that you form an organization to help black people get loans- loans to start a business, loans for college expenses, loans to buy a house, etc...- The function of your organization is to act as a "middle man" so to speak. You look for banks and other lenders who are willing to give a little extra consideration to black people. Sound great. Doesn't it? But it isn't. Firstly, your organization isn't doing anything to help anyone else who may need the assistance just as much. By functioning based upon race, your organization is doing the same thing as the banks and lenders who give preferential treatment to white people. Secondly, nothing is being done about that preferential treatment, the discrimination against blacks and other minorities. The banks and lenders who are racist continue to discriminate. The end result is that your organization has accomplished nothing more than helping the racists banks and lenders by promoting continued seperation. The wheels of discrimination keep turning.

Not this junk again. The Mayan junk is nothing more than junk. Their calendar ended in 2012. In fact, there are some who interpret it to end in other times. Revelation has been used in apocalypse theories before. Guess what? Those turned out to be bogus back then as well. So will this one. You have a NASA prediction on here about an asteroid impact. Please give something to back that up. A link from NASA will do nicely. Do not give a link to some other site because you said NASA said it. Prove that NASA said it. A quote from your question: "The Bible mentioned about 666, in which is marked in every persons forehead or something" Or something? What do you mean? Are you saying the bible says the numbers 666 will be in the forehead of people? If so, please justify that with some passages. You also speak of microchips being implanted. That is so 1990's. Biometrics will completely throw out the idea of microchips. A microchip can be counterfeited. It can be stolen and put in someone else. A person's DNA is much harder to fake. The retina is harder to fake. There are multiple ways to use our bodies to verify us. There is no need for microchips. There is no need to implant anything in the human body to do this. I have already seen businesses require people to check into their buildings using their palm prints. Your Story of Babel reference. That is one of the more idiotic stories in the bible. Think about it. A few thousand years ago, the highest builders could build a building was only a few stories. Today we have buildings that are over a hundred stories tall. No god getting upset over that. We have planes that go even higher. No god getting upset about that. We launch ships into space. No god getting upset about that. We have satelites that can see into the deepest reaches of space. No god getting upset about that. So why in the world would a god get upset about a building that could not have even been a hundred feet tall? The Satanist Book? What are you talking about? Give reference to this? Please, don't say it is the Necronomicon. That is a fictional book. H.P. Lovecraft invented it for his stories. If you have researched a satanist book then you should be able to give its name and some reference to it. Your Quote from the question: "The Mayan Prediction, Aztec Prediction When the time comes that all the nations of the Earth will unite, the world will surely end." Once again, can you provide a link to back this up. Make it a scientific link. You said you did the research. Back up your research by showing your sources. Your Quote from the Question: "The mayans already have 26 accurate predictions proven to be true. so what makes us think that the 27th prediction wont be true?" Name the 26 accurate predictions. These had better be pretty specific predictions and not just stuff like "there will be a war". Another quote from your question: "-The Bible (Revelation) The Bible tells us that the world will end in wars, famine, earthquakes, fire, and disasters. Dont you notice it right now? Its pretty obvious if you have an IQ of 50 and above." Please name a year that did not have war, famine, earthquake, fire, or disaster. Anyone who is able of independent thought should be able to determine that these have happened every year in recorded history. Another quote from you: "Ancient Folklore It says about Globalization.. (this is also found in the Bible) When Men unites to create 1 supreme organization then the world will end. I DK what happens next, but in the Bible, it is 666." Please cite this passage of the bible. Just because you say it is there does not mean it is there. You need to back it up.

It is a double edged sword indeed. History tells the tale of why these things have happened. If we do not learn and accept what has happened historically then we are doomed to repeat the same mistakes over and over again. It's quite pathetic. If someone was not making money off of all of this then it would not be happening. Economics (coupled with greed) is the bottomline. Education is the secondary factor.

i know what u mean! i like supporting organizations that support poeple reguradless of religion or race.... i find it more appealing to give my donations and help to people who truely want to help everyone and anyone, that shows how much they really care! a lot of organisations need to merge so that a certain group of people arent left in the cold and so they can support everyone and anyone!

i think foundations for economically challenged people are better and more effective than just based on race.
