Thank you. You have some good ideas, but overall, I see you as an apologist for undesirable elements; one who has been conditioned to always seek out the "good in all", regardless of the mountains of empirical and anecdotal evidence to the contrary that exist.
I have never been an apologist for any undesirable element and nor do I see the "good in all". I do understand that a problem cannot be fixed until properly defined. You believe that the problem is racial and you believe you have mountains of empirical and anecdotal evidence to support your views. Of course, when you use your statistical evidence to justify your views, somehow you leave out other evidence that doesn't support your views and present the stuff that does support your views in a way that is intellectually dishonest.

Any statistic that you can present will also show that the vast majority of blacks and browns are law abiding and employed citizens. The vast majority are also christian. Any statistic you can present will also show that the vast majority of crime committed by blacks or browns is against each other. The implication there is that, statistically, the criminal aspect is not much of a threat to whites. What you do ignore is the behavioral trait that is common in 95% of the black community that most affects every person in this country. And that is the sense of entitlement that drives the voting patterns firmly to the left. Of course, that is not something that is unique to the blacks and browns. You can pretty much go anywhere in the world. Any continent, any country and you will find leftists of every color. Moderates in the U.S. would be extreme conservatives in Australia, England, Mexico, Botswana....etc....

You ignore that the vast majority of arabs have adopted a religion that embodies and institutionalizes every negative behavior that you associate with blacks and browns. Of course, you probably ignore the fact that arabs are caucasians, as I assume you are. Of course, Afghanis, all of the "stans", turks, lebanese, syrians, iranians....they're all caucasians too.

Statistically speaking, there are very few white people who are true conservatives and most of them live here in the U.S. And even here in the U.S. conservatives can't even win a presidential election against a socialist with no resume. Break it down further and the number of people who call themselves conservatives but who really have liberal views, makes the number of white people who are actually true conservatives almost trivial. Point being that you can use statistics in many different ways to build false facts. Especially when you leave out relevant data as you have. The way you use statistics to justify your position makes me think that you have a real appreciation of the global warming crowd.
The most ironic part of your position is that you readily acknowledge that "Recognizing that other cultures and sub-cultures are inferior to that of the United States as defined in the U.S. Constitution, is not racist." after admonishing my position in your previous paragraph by saying, "When you say that blacks and browns are simply behaving in ways that comes naturally to them, it turns into racism rather than observation and common sense." Does the word hypocrisy mean anything to you? -g-
Aha! now I see the problem. It's similar to the problem that I have when talking with liberals. See, I am using the English language. And you either don't really understand it, in spite of your ability to put English words on a page or you never bothered to learn anything about logic.

The underlying characteristics of the urban black culture are very similar to many other sub cultures in the U.S. and throughout the world. It's a culture that is based on a victim status. It's common on every continent and with every race. And in recent times it has manifested itself in the U.S. with the anti-1% and anti-corporate message. I'll say it again another way, when the characteristics of a culture are self destructive, it is fair to recognize it as inferior. When you say that blacks and browns are simply behaving in ways that comes naturally to them (when they adopt a culture based on victim status), you are suggesting that there is a unique genetic predisposition for adopting a cultural victim status that is based on race. In fact, it is common for all races to migrate toward a culture of victim status, since along with it comes the sense of entitlement, which boils down to "free shit for me". Unions in america are a great example of where a subset of the population has adopted a victim status. Many unions have their foundation in the threat that the white workers felt from the black workers who would take a lower wage. So to avoid being the victims of black people who would take their jobs, they formed groups that bargained collectively with the company that excluded non-union workers. Later and to this day, unions adopt a victim status to get more from the employers. You don't need me to provide links for this. You know it is true. The urban black sub culture didn't kill detroit. It was the white union sub-culture that killed it. The blacks are just all that is left (well, with an influx of muslims now too).

So, back to English. You either need to look up the definitions of "irony" and "hypocrisy" or you need to work on your reading comprehension skills. But don't feel too bad, this is a common issue with people who have adopted a victim status. But you are right, I do try to see the good in all. I believe that you can learn to understand and use the English language properly. I believe that it is possible for you to understand logic eventually, given enough time and effort. I believe that you can overcome your sense of helplessness against darker skinned humans. I know it will be hard, but I have faith in you John. You can do it!

I think we should agree to disagree. Have a good day.


How about we just disagree.

I'll give you the last word. -g-



Mighty white of you
