It’s because I’m white, but a greasy wop. I’m not all nordic and glistening in the sunshine like you guys ☹

There’s a comedian who had a bit like “If you saw Obama stealing your car, you wouldn’t yell ‘Somebody stop that mixed race man!’” I can’t tell whether our erstwhile OP is the kind of racist who thinks that a mixed race person is better than his darker parent or whether he’s worse because he’s a symbol of miscegnal shame.

I dunno, he did describe his cousin’s kids as half breeds, so I figured I’d just run with the theme. Though I will admit that I’m now singing the Cher song in my head (AND SO ARE YOU!).

Because it’s funny?

I’m part German on my dad’s side, but it’s mixed with Irish, so I don’t know if that counts. On my mom’s side, however, I’m just a big ol’ Polak, with a little bit of Slovak and Hungarian thrown in for good measure.

I’m a mongrel. _weeps_

Much as I hate to provide any sort of support for this asshole, the Army does send soldiers to parts of Africa all the time on training missions. We had them in Bamako, camped out on the lawn at the Marine House. Bunch of pussies, if you ask me, as they spent much of their time hooked up to icewater IVs. I talked with some other Special Forces types who were definitely NOT pussies, who had done training ops in the Congo, working with local army troops. The jungle is not a place for weaklings.

But the type of op he claims to have been on would have been as some sort of escort duty in an urban setting. I seriously doubt that it was all that secret and that he’s just plumping his resume so we’ll think he’s one of the cool guys. He’s already been proven to be a liar by others in this thread, so we have no real reason to believe he was on any mission in Africa, or even in the armed forces. If indeed he _was_ in the military, his actions since discharge make him a disgrace to the uniform.

Let me tell you about something that happened to me not long ago:  
My wife and I, and our son, came back from Germany. We decided on living here in Kentucky while I was finishing my degree, and we chose a small community near Lexington.

It was a nice community. Hardworking folks. Whites and some Mexicans. Almost no blacks. The kids would play together, launch rockets, whatever kids do… I even built them a 4ft tall trebuchet so they could hurl snowballs in the winter.

We lived there 6 years, since we were saving for a house and I was working and going to school part time.

Then the management changed for the property.

Empty townhomes were suddenly filled with blacks. I paid no attention, since I had enough on my plate as it was. We kept to our circle of friends and that was that.

Then it started: Our Christmas decorations were torn down and/or stolen. My truck was keyed. Our home was egged, along with several others. Screaming arguments became a nightly thing at all hours in the streets. The police were regulars on our street. Drug arrests were made, and made again.

Then came a home invasion, with blacks holding guns to the head of an infant if the homeowner didn’t give up the cash. Poor woman moved out the next day.

Then came shootings. 3 different times, all less than 100 feet from our front door.

I started sleeping with a loaded shotgun next to me, while my family slept upstairs.

Then a close personal friend of ours was beaten and raped, threatened with death if she spoke to anyone about the matter. She was scared, and the rapists, yes black ones, came back again and again… she finally had enough and went to the cops. Eventually, she moved away to another town to start over.

Me personally, I was the target of 3 robbery attempts by blacks. The only reason they didn’t rob/beat/kill me is because I carry a liscenced firearm. Only time in my life I have had to draw a weapon on someone outside of a combat zone. Thank God I never had to fire.

We had had enough. We moved out, and moved far away from the city.

I have seen this happen not only in my own neighborhood, but in the neighborhood of my parents, siblings and friends… it has nothing to do with socio-economics. I have seen it happen in America, South and Central America, Europe and yes, even Africa… at some point, one has to stop making excuses for them and start holding them accountable for their own actions and shortcomings, and the consequences of same.

And yes, I still sleep with a loaded shotgun next to me. Police response time out here is a pitiful 15 minutes… you know how dead you can get in 15 minutes?

Thank God for the Castle Doctrine and CCW’s.

I’d agree that he was a disgrace to the uniform, but I am unfortunately black and that means I spent my entire enlistment being a lazy good for nothing. Do I have to give all my air medals back? They obviously made a mistake in giving those to me.

**Ariovistus** , if it makes you feel any better, I’ve never been raped, assaulted, or robbed by a black person. So, ya know, I’m finding it a titch hard to believe that there’s been this much black-on- **Ariovistus** crime.

You know who did force himself on me when I was 14 and trying to jog outside to train for the high school tennis team? Some fucking redneck ass motherfucker. You know who did break into my house as a kid and steal our shit, totally taking away our trust our home had? A bunch of hillbillies in some trashy pick up truck. A black man has never so much as said a rude thing to me (complimentary things, yes), but any time I’ve had someone call me a bitch in public in a serious manner, it was always some white trash asshole. The only client to ever attack me was this moron who I later noticed had a swastika on the back of his neck. When he sat down with me and didn’t like what I explained to him, he decided he needed to get in my face (I was 20 and am 5’3’'-- he was about 300 lbs and over 6 ft tall) and screamed that I am “nothing but a low down, dirty, wet back whore bitch.” I’m white, by the way.

So, this thread has taught me that I need to hate the fuck out of white people, since they cause me so many problems. Excellent.

No, because no one will want them after they’ve touched your dirty skin. Duh.

When I was in the Balkans I heard the same rant only the despised criminal groups were White European Muslims (Serbia and Bosnia), White European Eastern Orthodox Christians (Bosnia and Croatia) and White European Roman Catholic and Protestant Christians (Serbia and Bosnia). I’ve never felt remotely threatened or endanger in an American city through the behavior of some of the rural people has given me worries.

By the way, you never answered my question about Black Jews. How do you classify them?

To the OP, how much dooes it disgust you that I married a white woman? She is really white, too. Family is from Texas and everything. Green eyes, the whole shebang. And that white woman married this decorated veteran, who happens to be black, in a Catholic church! Surrounded by Papists! What is wrong with the world?

And in a few years my half-breed children are probably going to boss around yours. That must fill you with an uncontrollable rage as you sit there angrily whacking it to interracial porn while you cry and choke yourself.

You know, for years I thought no one could fill the void D.W. Griffith left but I think we’ve found our guy. I haven’t seen scare tactics like this since viewing _Birth of a Nation_.
