No, but it does cast light on the lack of objectivity in your reasoning.

You're right. Clearly, I don't understand the individualism of hiding behind white sheets and making sure you look and talk exactly like everyone else.

Pickled herring.

Red herring.

Whatever.

It makes for some nice drama, but has nothing to do with what I said.

When you control for poverty, no "race" is any more or less violent than any other. It's far more useful to examine the causes of the poverty cycle and work to fix those.

Re: Enough with the race baiting

I’ve noticed half of the members don’t even have a clue to what the real definition of racism even is.
It’s used so much for power holds and running platforms it’s lost it’s credibility to some, habituated lunacy into others.
Ex:
An organized ethnical group set on propagating, profiling, separatism and prejudice toward another.

Am I talking about the “KKK”, N.O.W., the “N.A.A.C.P” or all of the above???
Let me be so bold as to proclaim the ones complaining the most in this thread only see one racist group.

yes - in fact if you look at statistics on crimes of violence during history, you find that the incidence is higher during times of economic upheaval. This is well known. European records go back at least 500 years.

If we look at ethnic violence/tensions/bloody revolutions etc we see that often they occur during times of scarcity. If these events are more common in poorer nations - why should we be at all surprised?

It seems to be a HUMAN trait rather than related to race ... although perhaps even that is too narrow. Other species also can be extremely vicious when competing for scarce resources.

Re: Enough with the race baiting

As usual, Hank, you're dead wrong.

Racism is racism, and it all sucks.

In fairness, Hank, I also don't see too many posts espousing the beliefs and ideals of NOW or the NAACP.

I suspect that if those posts did appear, they would be responded to in a similar fashion.

In short, there's only one racist group making their presence known here...

He's a racist. He's a Canadian.

Ergo, he's a racist Canadian.

Which part of that vexes you so?

Hey pram, cool man I’m impressed. I'm glad you can see.
If a poster took 90% of the threads on this forum and only replaced the words Christians, Americans and white male with the words, “Blacks“, “Muslims” or “nation of Islam”, He would get some silly racism title by a lot of posters here.
I’m glad that you for one can see that all are fair and equal game in the forums and worthy of the same rules and curtesy.

Remember, using the word redneck in a forum is the exact same as saying the “N” word.
