Do you have any interests other than your racism which might lead you to positively contribute to non-racism-themed threads on this board? He sure does! He likes weaving with ropes- mostly outside by trees, though. I think he must really love nature! He’s a bit of a carpenter, but he specializes in replicas of Christian relics. He’s got a touch of pyromania in him, but it only really flames up when he’s got those replica Christian relics of his. He loves to make his own hats, but because of his fair, Nordic complexion, they have to cover his whole head. He fashions beautifully intricate eye holes, though. On and on. He has _tons_ to contribute out there in rural Kentucky. ---

I’ve got one simple question. 10) Why is being a racist/bigot/not liking black people so important to you? It has to be important, or you wouldn’t come and post about it. Me, I’d be more interested in the furniture, I’ve been thinking of making a new body for my electric guitar, and I’d love to hear about wood selection from North American woods. ---

I found [your account](http://www.chimpout.com/forum/showpost.php?p=476361&postcount=4) of you learning racism from your daddy, then [your account](http://www.chimpout.com/forum/showpost.php?p=498458&postcount=7) of you and your sister antagonizing a black guy for fun, and then [your account](http://www.chimpout.com/forum/showpost.php?p=555908&postcount=20) of how you _began_ your military career dealing with black soldiers. Have you been misrepresented by these posts of yours? ---

> [@Pashnish\_Ewing](#): > > Are you saying that there would be no crime and no civil injustice if the ‘races’ would just stick to their own kind? Because that is really, really stupid. If not, then what are you trying to say? Of course not. Crime is a part of the human condition. If there is organized society, there will be crime by definition. Um, one thing: What exactly is “civil injustice”? I don’t want a textbook answer, I would prefer you explain it to me in your own words… because to me, ‘civil injustice’ sounds awfully made-up. A trendy word used as an excuse to explain away a certain groups’ failure in society. I AM saying that in all-white societies, at least in the industrialized world, which is the West by definition, when these societies were all-white or mostly (over 90%) white, crime wasn’t anywhere near what it is today. Of course, I know about the Mob, the Irish gangs, etc, but once things got settled, America was largely a peaceful place. Crime came in like gangbusters once the government meddled in the affairs of citizens. Example: Let’s take Prohibition. From time immemorial till the 1920’s, just about everything was legal as far as intoxicating substances go. Then the US Government, backed by do-gooder busybodies, was pressured to make certain substances illegal, most notably alcohol. I’m sure you know the story. INSTANTLY, a black market sprang up. Who ran the black market? Gangsters- most notably the Irish Mob, the Italian Mob and the Jews (that last one, look up “The Purple Gang” or “The Purples”… those guys were batshit insane). They stood to make shattering amounts of money, and they defended their turf with the weapons (totally legal weapons, by the way) of the day: grenades, Thompson submachineguns, handguns of various types, and explosives. The violence was largely directed at other gangs, but civillians were caught in the middle, not only in the violence, but also incarcerated for taking a simple drink. The government itself created an outlaw class of people simply for doing what people have been doing for thousands of years: taking a drink or smoking dope. Not only that, but AFTER prohibition was ended, and the violence dissipated, the Government sold a bill of goods to the US Taxpayers by outlawing certain classes of weapons that before were totally legal and could be bought mail-order from any Sears catalog. They didn’t come outright and outlaw certain classes of weapons, but they DID overtax them to the point where it was prohibitive to own them based on their cost, which created another class of outlaw. It is my position that crime exists not only in societies by definition, but is also created by governments for their own ends and means. Homogenous societies are largely peaceful, when compared to mixed societies, as the racial/tribal element is not present to create conflict. There will always be evil in the world, and people who prey upon others, but that amount of crime is small when compared to societies where the makeup of different populations dips below 70% of one type of majority. One only has to look at the Balkans to know what our future holds. ---

The phrase “they are like children” took me back to my childhood and young adulthood, when I had an uncle who felt just this way. He bore black people no ill will–he just thought they were not like him and, basically, like children. Late in his life, he had to make a very difficult choice. He had to vote for either a black guy, or a Democrat. This very nearly caused his head to explode, and the only way he managed it was to hit the button that voted straight party line, so he didn’t actually single out this odd black Republican. This caused me and my cousins (some of whom were his children) to laugh every time we thought about it. Although actually, it’s probably true that almost all elected officials are “like children” in that they want instant gratification, think the world revolves around them, etc. ---
