$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Cloud9', 'W')here would the Nation of Islam, Black Panthers and the Hebrew Israelites be placed on your diagram? The ultimate racism is to not be able to recognize the racist within one’s own group.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('PrestonSturges', 'T')here's one in every wood pile. You may not be nearly as white as you'd like to think.

The Hebrew Israelites I have met had little in common with the Jews in Israel. They were a murderous cult out of Miami.

Preston, since racism is the result of a dominant population as you say what happens when whites become minorities? Should they be treated like they treated minorities? If they try and hang on to their wealth and power should it be stripped from them for the betterment of diversity? Also, should Jews be treated like the whites when they are a minority since Jews are white i.e. attack their browner neighbors in Palestine etc?

I don't understand your answer.

Pres I guess you are saying they should all intermarry well my answer is yes to all, it's karma and just the way it goes...sorry whites

If that is the prevailing attitude, then there is no hope. The answer is then yes, there will be a race war. Therefore, I will cling to my guns and my religion and my small town attitude.

I was responding to the fellow that stated something about the end of white people. I saw the post and then it was gone. We have to resist every effort to end any body. That is madness.

Know what Preston, I misread the post.

[Pops]

[quote="JohnDenver") Here's one. About a week ago, Pops started a thread called Race Riots or Worse. In the thread itself, he just mentioned civil unrest, and steered clear of the race issue. So why use the title "Race Riots", Pops? Why is race on your mind? And why not talk about race, after naming a thread "Race Riots"? It's seems weird. It's like you want to talk about it, but not talk about it.[/quote]
Good question JD. In fact my thoughts regarding whites/politics/healthcare/msm are much the same as yours.

Race and politics are more subtly entwined and more skillfully played by partisans today than at most any point I remember. The kid flipping a bird wasn't my original thought for a picture, I wanted a picture of a bunch of angry white people screaming but ran out of time.

Funny you call me on it though.

Partisan drivel and worse here at PO.com has festered too long in my opinion and has become a detriment to our main goal of discussing energy depletion. The plain fact is there are lots of places to discuss politics, religion, race and not so many to discuss PO.

So I was mostly interested in hearing the people who spend lots of time talking about little but partisan politics, race, hate, etc to see if we can find a way we can all talk without scaring off people who actually want to educate themselves about energy.

Racial tensions do exist in any society where several races and cultures coexist. For some people race matters a lot and they feel uncomfortable in the presence of people from other races, socializing with them, have an instinctive and intense dislike to race mixing. I of late spent time reading stormfront, the white nationalist website to see this attitude on display.

For other people race does not matter at all, they are those who clearly embrace a multicultural society, are proud of having friends from all races and cultures and do not consider it a factor at all when it comes relationships or socializing.

Most people I would think fall somewhere in between. In the United States for instance where up to 45% of whites could vote for a black man as the President shows that race is not a dominant issue for most people. And chances of a racial war are relatively low.

Barring major conflict, it is inevitable that due to demographic changes whites will constitute less than 50% of the population in the US (and perhaps other now white countries) in the relatively near future. It is crucial in order to avoid conflict and tensions , that boundaries be respected for those who prefer to stick to their own kind, race and populist politics not be played upon.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('the48thronin', 'W')hen people who carry NO TO NAZI placards are called Nazis for saying so... then all possible communication is being cut off by those doing that. Straw man arguments are the surest sign of lack of real argument.

Question though, is mixing the races really the cure for racism? India is highly mixed yet they still instituted the caste system/racial heirarchy...plenty of racism in other mixed countries as well such as brazil, mexico (against the native mayans still left) etc etc...
