A Congressional Black Caucus is ok but a Congressional White Caucus is not. Why?

I agree. And if we keep ignoring our group interests, the entire US will look like California, Brazil, or South Africa in our future. Wake up. 60 years ago whites were ~30% of the globe; now they are ~10%. Whites are the real minority to be protected - that is, if you value modern medicine, democracy and human rights, the internet, airplanes, electricity, rule of law, space exploration, or any of the other contributions they nearly exclusively create but which all benefit from.

Does anyone else find it amusing Shodan has not returned to admit he didn’t understand de facto is contradictory to “official”? Usually he returns for pages and pages of argument, but on this instance he is so blatantly FACTUALLY wrong, I would’ve liked to see him try to wiggle out of it a while longer. :stuck_out_tongue:

You’re a racist so I doubt you have the capacity for learning but on the offchance that this will sink in, One of the oldest existing writings in the world was a code of law written by a King who was not white.

In other words the farthest back historical evidence we have for rule of law is from a non-European culture.

Well, now, keep in mind that was when the Aryan super-race centered around Mesopotamia. They stopped over in Europe for several millenia, and then on to Texas.

I don’t think anyone can.

Yeah, sure, as if, Paddy. [/snark]

Since this isn’t the Pit, let me point out that not all white people are “my group” and many “mixed-race” people are “my group,” so this doesn’t really cut any ice with me.

Stating that someone is a racist, particularly when they have not chosen to identify themselves as such, is unnecessarily provocative. Linking that pejorative to a claim that it is an indication that they are mentally deficient is clearly an insult.

Do not repeat this in Great Debates, (or anywhere outside The BBQ Pit).

Seriously, it is provocative for me to call these beliefs:

racist? What do you call it? Will not insult again though, but there is no way he can say something like THAT and I am the provocative one.

Funny that you mention Brazil, where nearly half of the population identifies as mixed (pardo), there is significantly less inter-racial tension, and the women are smoking hot. Sign me up, please.

Got the importanat part of that right here in MN, and I don’t have to learn Portugese.

Maybe it just falls in the nasty/jerk category…who knows?

BTW…I’d like to come out as being de facto black.

Hahahahahahahahahaha! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

As opposed to organized government of any sort, agriculture, domestication of animals, the ability to create fire, the FRIGGIN WHEEL, writing of any sort, the printing press (both with or without movable type), ocean going vessels, metallurgy, carpentry, or pretty much all the basic technologies which enable any sort of modern civilization?

Even accepting this questionable premise, trying to claim “any of the other contributions” means just stuff from the last century (plus or minus) is rather ridiculous and short-sighted.

Heck, cultural isolationism and protectionism is why the world isn’t culturally dominated by the Chinese, I figure. They were inward-looking at a critical time in the 1500s when Europeans began colonizing and exploiting the Americas.

So when I see arguments that whiteness has to be protected, I tend to think, “yep, that’ll end well.”

You see, Mr Buchanan, that’s why God invented whiskey, so the Irish wouldn’t rule the world.

You did not say “your statements are racist.” You said that he was a racist. You then went further and claimed that the fact that he was racist precluded his ability to learn. Those statements are insulting.

Well, I suppose this was going to end up in the Pit eventually.

Because it’s wrong. That’s why.

Snap out of it. Races have made contributions since we recognized races. What’s happening as mankind progresses is that races are mixing. Hopefully we’ll get to a point where we know and appreciate what ever heritage we may have, but not let it be a dividing factor.

What do you mean by “our group interests”?

What does “our group” refer to?

Also, please define “white”?

Who do you consider white and who don’t you.

Do you consider Italians, Greeks, Spaniards, Portugese, Lebanese, Syrians, Jews and Palestinians white?

If some of the groups listed don’t fit your definition of white, please tell us which ones don’t and why.

Thanks.

There’s more too it than white people don’t need one.

For instance if I were in Washington DC or Detroit which have black majorities and founded a “white caucus” dealing with that city, I would be called racist, regardless of the actual racial make up or control is
