that article must have stung....otherwise you're just masturbating..For the past 50 years since the fight for the Civil Rights Act in 65, we have tried to end racism in this country.
And what do we have to show for it? Annual riots by minorities demanding more, angry about imagined slights like the totally justified shooting of Michael Brown, and now Eric Holder, supposedly our nations top Law Enforcement official goes to these criminals in Fergusun and tells them he shares their distrust of law enforcement? This is beyond stupidity and absurdity as Holder throws out any pretense of being anything other than a black AG.
The 800 pound gorilla in the room is the simple question; Has our attempt to end racism been a failure?
All we have to show for it is that whites cannot defend themselves, even if being beaten to death, if the perp is a black man. Even if you have all the law and God on your side, the establishment will ruin your life and the legal fees impoverish you and your family. Whites cannot talk about their interests, celebrate their heroes or talk about white culture or show pride in being white. All the while being surrounded by black radio stations, black news papers, black entertainment, and every other ethnic group has its own version of it all as well.
Now if this were a universal standard for all ethnicities then something might be established that is at least fair and just to all parties, but no, all minorities are encouraged to take racial pride, show racial UNITY (WTF?) and even conservative blacks like Colin Powell knows he has to vote for the black man Obama or be branded a race traitor for ever more. Even a supposed conservative like Bill O'Reilly went on a rant about some kids in Georgia a few years ago who did nothing more than have a private graduation celebration and he branded it a 'whites only prom' and the hatred that was directed at these white students from all over the country was simply disgusting, assinine and cretinous. And yet no one ever dared to point out and criticize the many ethnic centered graduations and proms that go on every year by hispanics, asians and blacks. That is all OK, only whites are forbidden to have such, and in our own god damned country.
All our effort to end racism has done is turn white people into punching bags, eternal victims and fucking epic losers. Show me another civilization aside from Western civilization where an ethnic group has abandoned all rights to defend itself even within its own borders. That is what we have come to, an impotent, group of ethnic losers who nature will erase if something does not change.
Would we be justified to look at what is considered justified ethnic pride/practice among minority populations and take the same tacks for ourselves? It seems that way
Enough is enough, fuck it. The effort to end racism is nothing more than a fools game with whites meant to be the eternal losers.
I once was proud to think I was not a racist, now I feel like I have been played for a sucker. Where do the facts show that feeling wrong?
Someday, perhaps not in the long term future, we may see a new movement:
White's Rights!!see folks that's how you rationalize..when you learn your reasons for asking a demographics question is a symptom of your bigotry and not at all the same as the reasons those agencies use those stats ,then you might have learned something useful.that would only matter to a racist.Not a liberal a conservative. Not a supporter of obama etc. However, racism is a sickness. I'm glad I'm not stricken with it
What is the black/white demographic in your town/city?
Really? The FBI is racist? those stats matter to them.
The DOJ is (assuredly) racist..but not the way you like...and those stats matter to them.
The BJS is racist, too? Those stats matter to them.
The CDC is racist, too? Those stats matter to them..
I learn something new every day.
until then you're talking out your ass.
You're a fool..again..you made an utterly ridiculous statement in your haste to call me names and just got spanked and now are backpedaling.
Like the time when you said my name sounded italian and therefore I wasn't white because italians aren't white?
LMAO..I had to educate you..italians ARE white..and I'm not italian..my name..LMAO..is alligator spelled backwards..You don't remember that, right?hahahaha..I'll BET you don't..You don't WANT to maybe..hahahaha
Ok..So from now on I need to check with you to make sure my reasons for asking questions are acceptable to you and not "racist".
I almost hate to ignore you..you're pretty funny in your confusion
but not funny enough...see ya
as to the alligator backwards nonsense. it was not at all clever or original or even funny.
Definitions of whiteness in the United States
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
The cultural boundaries separating White Americans from other racial or ethnic categories are contested and always changing. David R. Roediger argues that the construction of the white race in the United States was an effort to mentally distance slaveowners from slaves.[1] By the 18th century, white had become well established as a racial term.
The process of officially being defined as white by law often came about in court disputes over pursuit of citizenship. The Naturalization Act of 1790 offered naturalization only to "any alien, being a free white person". In at least 52 cases, people denied the status of white by immigration officials sued in court for status as white people. By 1923, courts had vindicated a "common-knowledge" standard, concluding that "scientific evidence" was incoherent. Legal scholar John Tehranian argues that in reality this was a "performance-based" standard, relating to religious practices, culture, education, intermarriage and a community's role in the United States.[2]
White Americanancestries in 2000 (US Census)[3]
The 2000 U.S. census states that racial categories "generally reflect a social definition of race recognized in this country. They do not conform to any biological, anthropological or genetic criteria."[4] It defines "white people" as "people having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa.[5] The 1990 US Census Public Use Microdata Sample lists "Caucasian" or "Aryan" ancestry responses as subgroups of "White"[6] but the 2005 PUMS codes do not.[7] In U.S. census documents, the designation white or Caucasian may overlap with the term Hispanic, which was introduced in the 1980 census as a category of ethnicity, separate and independent of race.[8] In cases where individuals do not self-identify, the U.S. census parameters for race give each national origin a racial value.[TBODY] [/TBODY]
Ancestry Percentage German 15.2 Irish 10.8 English 8.7 Italian 5.6 Polish 3.2 French 3.0 Scottish 1.7 Dutch 1.6 Norwegian 1.6 Scots-Irish 1.5 Swedish 1.4
The U.S. Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation also categorizes "white people" as "people having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa, through racial categories used in the UCR Program adopted from the Statistical Policy Handbook (1978) and published by the Office of Federal Statistical Policy and Standards, U.S. Department of Commerce.[9]
Definitions of whiteness in the United States - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
'White' as used today basically means whatever the user wants it to mean. Some exclude brown skinned people, some don't.
Caucasian has more objective definition, and includes Mexicans, Indians (Asian), Arabs, Jews and Dravidians.
Most of the time 'white' is used to mean a mostly pale skinned group of ethnicities, like the northern European ethnicities. But almost everyone would include slavs today, but Hitler and most racists did not 80 years ago. Most today would include Germans as white but Benjamin Franklin did not, and thought that their immigration would destroy the racial make up of the US.
'White' is a fudge term mostly used by radical racists and leftwing ideologues to reduce the sense of Caucasian success in demographic growth, though Caucasian population growth is high in some countries and negative in others. European populations are dropping due to economic success and their move into middle class life styles. Poor Caucasian nations see large population growth such as Mexico, Iraq and Afghanistan.
Racial categorizations are mostly pseudo science, but the ethnic make up and definition of people is more firm in most cases globally. Wrestling over precise definitions is really pointless.
Lol, you cut and paste an article that I respond to with facts and reason and you resort to nothing but pooftahry.
Guess there is a reason for that.
