You always seem to do this to me. You wait until I'm in an argument with someone else, then you jump in and harass me for not answering your questions.
Do you want answers? Whether it shows or not I do appreciate you taking the time to right out replies, if that counts for anything.

MY "equality" is not a vision of preferential treatment for minorities, I have not now or at any time in the past suggested such a thing.

I didn't contest that you did. "Equality", as an applicable concept, has been changed threw either malintent or circumstance to not include whites.

Since you can't answer my real objections with anything other than misinformation, I will consider you shot down. LOL was quite a snappy comeback, btw. Your insecurity shows more than you realise.

What satisfaction do you want? I have already told you I will not answer questions that are insulting. If you want to argue, fine, but don't pretend I'm not responding after you insult me.

I have also never said that there aren't racists of other nationalities, these things seem too obvious to need to be spelled out, but for the very slow ones in the room, here it is- THE WHITE RACISTS ARE IN POWER, THAT'S THE FUCKING PROBLEM!
[post=327031]Quoted post[/post]
You may not have said it, but your views carry with them that implication. Not once have you spoken against reverse discrimination, whether or not you believe we deserve it or you don't believe it is equal to previous discriminations is irrelevant.
Where is your proof that, "THE WHITE RACISTS ARE IN POWER, THAT'S THE FUCKING PROBLEM!"?

No one cares what a disgruntled Cuban says about how much he hates white people, but if he's the president and puts in place an all Cuban staff and the House and Senate fill with Cubans and they began passing volumes of legislation that only benefitted Cubans at the expense of depriving everyone else of their rights, see how long it would take YOU to bitch.
[post=327031]Quoted post[/post]
I care. How can you defend both anti-white racism and equality? Do you forget that the majority of whites have avidly defended the rights of minorities?

You can substitute Cuban for any nationality you choose, but Democracy DEPENDS on defending the rights of minorities. I don't mind if you identified yourself as a facist and then spouted off the white supremacy bullshit that you do, but to claim to be defending america as a Democracy and hefting this shit on us doesn't make any sense.

You don't seem to understand the implications of what you are saying, or if you do, are malcontent to do so.
What gives a minority the right to infringe upon the rights of the majority, and vice versa? Is it past wrongdoings? If so, your equality is both inequal and cyclic.

You don't like black people handing out pamphlets about killing white people, but the KKK has been doing that, as well as carrying out their threats for centuries and they're allowed to exist, so you are a hypocrit as well as a racist, which is so often the case.
[post=327031]Quoted post[/post]
That isn't true. The KKK was abolished by L.B.J., and civil rights groups have made it nearly nonexistant. What exists today of it is mostly internet/backyard warriors.
You seem to be a proponent of racial guilt, which is in clear contradiction to your dedication to equality.
Do you believe I deserve to be threatened, because members of my group were once the ones threatening others? Do I not also then deserve to turn the tides on those who would threaten me, and propagate the cycle by threatening them?

You only want freedom for yourself, your insights offer no merit other than to glorify yourself, and that kind of thinking makes me sick.
[post=327031]Quoted post[/post]
How can you say that after all that I have written? Do you only read that which fits your paradigm?

I can't wait to see how well you handle yourself in the real world when you eventually have to leave the protective cocoon you currently find yourself nestled in. My guess that this is just a childish rebellion against your parents' ideologies.

I don't think you should make assumptions about me.

Chimera, I've been offline for a couple days, but I did want to respond to this. I quoted the response you posted to me when I made the above statements, it was the post I quoted from you to me to which I was responding, so how can you say I waited until you were responding to someone else when I posted something you said directly to me?
As it turns out, I like white people a hell of a lot, hell I even have white friends! I am half-white myself and can trace my ancestry back nine generations directly to Germany, my mother was the first person in her whole family to marry outside her nationality (all Germans before that). My own daughter's father is a white guy, so I'm certainly not "anti-white" at all, once again, I'm "anti white-supremacy".
How can I defend anti-white racism???? Are you serious? I have never defended ANY kind of racism, and I don't discount what you may have experienced at school. What baffles me is how YOU can experience something like that, knowing how awful it feels, and then go on to deny that racism against blacks hinders or harms them in any way. I don't know exactly what you believe about racism against blacks, but many white supremacists deny that it even exists or is a problem, and THAT'S a crock of shit! As a person only partially dark, I can assure you that racism is alive and well, I have experienced firsthand being denied jobs, being threatened in my home (by gang members in white sheets with torches in my front yard, presumably belonging to a long term group that you so stupidly say was disbanded. Funny, it's harder to believe stupidity when they are in YOUR front yard chanting "Nigger, go home!" This happened in 1999, Parkersurg WV, so don't tell ME the KKK is over or not doing little "deeds"). I had a store owner refuse to sell me a bottle of soda and tell me I could use the machine outside in the back of the store! It was broken, btw.
I am not white enough to have experienced anti-white racism, but I have no problem believing it exists! Since I believe ALL people are fairly similar, I am equally willing to accept that many minorities are just as big assholes as the majority, which IS white here. I am not against white people in any form, I am ONLY against white supremacy and white only rule of our country. You have posted many times on this board in favor of white supremacy, so it is that specific thing that I object to every time we disagree.
Racial guilt? Sorta. I believe that the injustices to blacks IN THIS COUNTRY have been carried on long past the time when we could have been over it. We've had since the Civil (?) War to integrate everyone into society and have done less than a stellar job. I agree that it has not all been by design on the part of the rich white people in power, but one must also be alert enough to realise that just because something is ugly doesn't make it untrue. Yes, much HAS been done intentionally to keep black people down. This is just a fact of our society, I share in the blame as much as anyone else. In order to correct an injustice, one must first be able to identify it.
I DO NOT believe in preferential treatment, lowering standards, racial quotas and the like, but it is very hard to legislate morality! You can't pass a law that says "You must hire the most qualified candidate regardless of race, gender, religion, nationality" and the like, and then just expect racist sexist people to just do it! See, that's what we've been doing so far and people just won't play nice. Then we pass laws to try to force people to be humane to each other and they balk about preferential treatment. The problem is, that a lot of people actually DO believe that white people are superior, smarter, better equipped to handle everything under the sun, so how do you get THOSE people to behave? You can't, really. In our utter frustration, we say, "Okay dammit, you HAVE to hire xxx black people, xxx women, xxx latinos, or we'll shut down your factory". This is the worst solution possible, it insults everyone involved- the black man, because it assumes he is incapable of finding work, the woman, because it assumes she is twice handicapped, the white man, because it assmunes he is a greedy pig (which many are NOT, they are just trying to feed their families like everyone else). In an utopian society, the jobs would go to the most qualified PERSON, but we are so far from that level of capability in our current world, do you suggest we stick our heads in the sand and ignore WHAT IS in preference of WHAT SHOULD BE?
Chimera, I argue with you BECAUSE you are young. I hope that through your years you will hone and define your personal principles in a maner that will serve you well in your future. I have no problem with people having different opinions from myself, but when I am basically defending the principle of "live and let live" and someone comes along and says "Hell no!", that is troublesome.
I quoted the above post, because three times in there, you accused me of defending anti-white racism, although I'm sure you will never ba able to provide one instance of my actually doing so. I DO NOT defend ANY racism. Just because when I am talking about one topic, I STAY on topic does not imply or infer anything else about any of my other beliefs! You end your post by suggesting I not make assuptions about you, well sorry, that's what I do. I spend inordinate amounts of time (honestly!

thinking about other people's motivations and the reasons for said. From individuals, I move to groups of thinkers and sometimes societies. This is social psychology, and a subject which fascinates me to no end. You are posting volumes of your personal thoughts on a public forum, don't be surprised that people will read them and make attempts to understand why you think as you do!
Once again, EQUALITY means I'm free to make my choices, you are free to make yours. Our government treats us ALL the same in terms of taxation, inheritance, insurance, job opportunity, voting. At this moment, that is more the Democratic view than Republican. "We find these truths to be self evident, that ALL men were created equal"- yeah I know they didn't really mean it, but it sure sounds nice.
