I have no problem if you don't post a poll.
I don't have a problem that you make claims you can't verify.
I don't even have a problem that you are the type of person who spews crap and can't verify it and it doesn't bother you that you are the type of person that spews crap and can't verify it.
Just like I don't have a problem that you are a moral relativist, a limo driver in the sky, and hypocrite, etc.
I just like sharing the information that I can verify with others...

Quote from Lucrum:
Uhhh OK dopey.
Another aspect of this problem is that by constantly blaming whites for the failures and shortcomings of nonwhites, our society is, despite I think the best intentions, teaching nonwhites to hate whites. After all, we are constantly telling blacks that itâs those racist bankers who wonât give you loans, itâs those racist policemen who arrest you despite your innocence, itâs those racist teachers who expect you to fail, itâs those racist television producers who portray you in a bad lightâracist this, racist that, white society is just seething with racists. How can blacks help but grow up disliking or even hating whites? I think that if we have a real problem of outright, visceral racial hatred in this country today, itâs not a problem of whites hating blacks, itâs more a problem of blacks hating whites. And you find this in the overwhelmingly lop-sided crime statistics when it comes to the different races committing crimes against other races. You also find it, I think, in the kinds of statements that you see publicly made by blacks about whites, the equivalent of which would be very, very difficult to find in any kind of public figure ⦠public white figure speaking about blacks. So this notion that the failure of blacks specificallyâand now Hispanics have been brought into this game to a large degreeâthis idea that the failures of blacks and Hispanics can be attributed directly to white racism, past or present, is first of all wrong. Second of all, it creates hostility toward whites in the minds of blacks and Hispanics, and I think it creates a whole set of unnecessary and falsely based guilt-related problems for whites. So aside from the great racial problem that inevitably arises simply from having different racial groups in the same territory, I would put this first and foremost in characterizing Americaâs current racial problem, namely, this assumption that the failures of blacks and Hispanics can be attributed to white maliciousness or white wickedness.
Aww, two nonwhites having a little victim theology bonding...
It's almost like a religion with you guys... Aren't we evil and wicked? It's just astonishing how you guys can manage to stay alive in a society of such wretched, deplorable, racist white people... Oh, well, I guess that's just the plight of the noble and oppressed minority... [/sarcasm]

Clearly, there's some diversity of opinion floating around out there...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Lahn
Bruce Lahn is a geneticist at the University of Chicago. He is also the founder of the Center for Stem Cell Biology and Tissue Engineering at Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China. His previous research specialized in human genetics and evolutionary genetics, especially human sex chromosome evolution and the genetic basis that underlies the evolutionary expansion of the human brain. Lahn's current research interests include stem cell biology and epigenetics.[1] His research on the brain size gene, MCPH1, led to the hypothesis that an archaic homo sapiens lineage such as the Neanderthals might have contributed to the recent development of the human brain.[2] His research also suggested that newly arisen variants of two brain size genes, ASPM and MCPH1, might have been favored by positive natural selection in the recent human history.[3] This research provoked controversy due to the finding that the positively selected variants of these genes had spread to higher frequencies in some parts of the world than in others (for ASPM, it is higher in Europe and surrounding regions than other parts of the world; for MCPH1, it is higher outside sub-Saharan Africa than inside).[4] He has advocated the moral position that human genetic diversity should be embraced and celebrated as among humanity's great assets.[5]
Lahn came to the U.S. from China to continue his education in the late 1980s.[6]
Lahn's honors include the Merrill Lynch Forum Global Innovation Award, the TR100 Award from Technology Review, the Burroughs Wellcome Career Award, and a Searle scholarship. He was also named to the 40-Under-40 list by Crains Chicago Business. Lahn received his B.A. in biology from Harvard University and his Ph. D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
"The 37-year-old Dr. Lahn says his research papers, published in Science last September, offered no view on race and intelligence. He personally believes it is possible that some populations will have more advantageous intelligence genes than others. And he thinks that "society will have to grapple with some very difficult facts" as scientific data accumulate. Yet Dr. Lahn, who left China after participating in prodemocracy protests, says intellectual "police" in the U.S. make such questions difficult to pursue.
Scientists believe that a small group of anatomically modern humans struck out from Africa probably less than 100,000 years ago. After arriving on the Eurasian land mass, they continued to split up and eventually humans populated nearly every corner of the globe. One use of genetic research is to probe how each group evolved differently after becoming isolated from the others. Recently created genetic maps of people of African, Asian and European ancestry make that research easier.
For instance, researchers have found that most Europeans have a genetic variant that lets them fully digest milk as adults. The variant is much less common in Africa and Asia, where lactose
intolerance is widespread. Scientists theorize that it spread quickly among Europeans because drinking milk from domesticated dairy animals conferred a nutritional advantage. Similar evolutionary reasoning may explain why many people in malaria-prone parts of Africa carry gene variants linked to malaria resistance."

Lol I certainly don't consider myself a victim, especially considering there is a non-white in the white house, which is eating you guys from the inside I know
U, and people like u, are clearly on the retreat. That is why we are here exchanging barbs on ET, in P&R, no less.
On the retreat from what?
People like me? What kind of people are those? People who don't like racial discrimination in public policy? God forbid!
You can't refute any of my points, that's why you ignore them... Some self proclaimed "libertarian" who favors racial discrimination policies...
I would, however, be interested to know how "people like me" are "clearly on the retreat".
Are whites racially oppressed?

I won't actually expect a response, as your usual response is to simply ignore points you don't like...

Whether or not ex cons gather is nobody's business so long as they aren't doing anything wrong. If they have served their debt, their gathering is nobody's business.
The world has a history of "racism" it's hardly unique to whites or America. If anyone was to have practiced it, it would of course be whites. Why is that? Oh yea, that's because WHITE PEOPLE BUILT THE CIVILIZATION....
Ahh, I see... So white people are "ex cons" who are "suspicious" if they gather... interesting perspective...
I never enslaved or oppressed anyone, hence to impute guilt on me simply because of my race is... well... racist.
Particularly given the fact that only 2% of whites owned slaves, even during the period of slavery... Also that *I* have never owned, or attempted to own any slaves, and slavery has been abolished for over 1.5 centuries....
I guess by that same measure you'd support police being more inclined to pull over and search blacks and latinos, due to the crime statistics? Given that blacks and latinos commit inter-racial crime at nearly 1200-1300% the rate of non whites, suspecting them automatically should also make sense, right? According to your logic this should be okay because "payback is a bitch".
For some reason, you don't want to collectively indict blacks on their CURRENT rate of violent crime and interracial crime which is several multiples of the white rate. Yet, you have no problem collectively indicting white people for the crimes of 2% of whites (which broke no actual law, or even social standard for the era), which occurred over 1.5 centuries ago... Interesting premise... I guess we should also punish the blacks here for the (more recent) Rwanda genocide....
I guess by this logic that we should also hold blacks accountable for the slavery that happens THIS VERY DAY in Africa. For some reason, noone seems as concerned about that slavery...
Funny, I didn't think you'd be someone in favor of racial profiling. I guess it's okay so long as it's only directed towards white people...
