Hello. I am a racist.

Balderdash, sir! Tommyrot! “Racially” homogeneous cultures have brutal conflicts as well, the only difference being that they take place along clan/tribe lines rather than “racial”.

The Japanese, for instance, are about as “racially” homogeneous a group as can be imagined, but they didn’t get good at making swords by accident.

Just a reminder, folks, that tempting as it is, calling another poster a “motherfucker,” and similar variations, is still against the rules in the Pit. Let’s try to avoid that, please.

Oh man, are you naive. I lived in the Balkans during the Yugoslavian Civil Wars. The majority of the population is WHITE and they did a damn good job at killing other WHITE people. The few non-white populations were classified along religious-ethnic lines and the allegiences of all were divided by religion. Race was completely a non-issue.

In a former life, I was Professor Harold Hill.

  1. Why do you call yourself a “warrior” and why does that matter in a day and age where a 90lb weakling can push some buttons and send a missile flying through the air and kill a bunch of sweaty muscular men on horseback? In almost all my dealings with racists, they hold their lineage as Vikings and Norsemen as some kind of badge of honor, forever living in the past.

  2. Why does it matter if the human race isn’t perfect and all seperate? Your cousin that had kids with the black guy, why does that matter to you? Why shouldn’t races be mixed so that we wouldn’t have these divisions anymore?

Guilty as charged. Throw myself on the mercy etc.

Hi. Thanks for asking a straight question.

Tea Party Movement? Haven’t thought about them much. I’m an Independant. However, I will say that people will get very fed up once the government starts meddling in issues that it is not empowered by the Constitution to mess with, as well as blowing monumental amounts of money out their hindquarters with zero result.

Example: When the whole “health care” thing was being debated, all I heard was ‘how will we pay for it’, blahbity blah… NOT ONE PERSON with any authority ever stepped up and said: “Hey! Does the Constitution empower the US Government to establish socialized health care? No? Then back off.” Never heard it said. Fact is, the US Government overstepped their authority a long, long time ago…

The Republic I believed in and fought for died to the sound of applause a long time ago.

Well, duh. There is no crime when there is no law. Governments create laws, which creates crime. Your argument is a tautology.

Yeah, Constitutional shit, like that stupid 13th Amendment and the even stupider 14th Amendment. Who needs that bullshit, amirite, brother? My country tis of theeeee. . .

It’s not just racists … a significant portion of the population derives its identity from belief in a halcyon past that exists entirely in the imaginations of these individuals.

The idea that the United States is a worse place now than it was 200 or 100 or 50 years ago is so clearly delusional that it amounts to deliberate self-deception.

Ariovistus, I just have one question so far. It’s been asked a few times (more or less) and you haven’t specifically addressed it:

Why is it okay to judge people with the same skin color (ie, black people), but not okay to judge people who live in the same area (ie, southerners).

You say that it’s not the ‘skin’ color, it’s based on your experience. Fine - if that’s the case, then if someone had negative experiences with southerners (all the ones they met fit the stereotypes you complained about) then by your reasoning that’s fine as well.

Correct? Do you agree with this?

If not, why not?

Liar:

(Boxed for length and for those who don’t wish to read a lot of racial profanity)

Imagine a solid Norse/German family: at least 4 generations of Norsemen and Germans in America, by virtue of their brains and sweat, created a nice life for themselves. Then, all of a sudden, one goes rogue and decides to burn coal. The shame was unbearable for my Grandmother and Grandfather (the Matriarch and Patriarch, respectively, of our family).

We’ll call her “Patty” (not her real name). I always remember my cousin as a chubby, fun-loving little girl when they would come to visit at our house… running and playing in the sun, we hadn’t a care in the world.

Then I didn’t see her for a number of years (around my teens).** Last time I heard anything about her, my father said very tersely: “She’s shacked up with some nigger and has a half-breed”. That was the last thing I ever heard about her… the look of shame and disgust on my father’s face told me volumes.**

She is the disgrace of our family. She was disowned, disinherited and forgotten. I haven’t seen her in almost 30 years. The last time I went to a family reunion, back in the early 80’s, I said to my father: “What the fuck are these niggers doing here?” There were about 3 or 4 niggers sitting off by themselves, looking down and grazing on the free feed, all of them sows. My father just shot me a dangerous look, and I let it go… shortly thereafter, my grandfather and father went over to the niggresses and said something. They left shortly afterwards. My father is/was a big guy… boxed in the Golden Gloves, studied Judo and lifted weights his whole life… I guess he made it clear that niggers weren’t welcome at such a hallowed event as the whole family coming together. His size, blonde-going-grey hair and grey eyes flashing fire were too much for the monkies.

Bolding mine. I’ll let your words speak for themselves. :dubious:

This thread is growing faster than I can read it, so I’ll just skip page 6 and most of page 7 and get to my post…

You’re absolutely right. It’s the Army experience that made him this way, and it’s exactly for the reason you stated- the Army attracts poor black people. It’s not a last resort, though, it’s a first resort. It’s expected of a lot of country boys, especially minority country boys, to join the military. That’s why a lot (most?) of the black soldiers that I and the OP have encountered are of a poorer, less educated sort than the rest.

But the difference is I’m smart enough to realize why those soldiers act that way. It’s because they’re of a certain socio-economic demographic. But for some reason, OP, you’re not smart enough to realize that that is not a product of race. The backwoods, corn-fed, white trash country boys from, say, Kentucky, are just as stupid, prone to violence, and irrational. They’re just as likely to have criminal records and have family/behavioral issues as the black soldiers, except they also tend to be racist and homophobic.

Of course, I had prior (but limited) experience with black people. Unlike you, I didn’t lead “a blissfully nigger-free life” before the Army. I could easily see that these soldiers were entirely different than the black people I knew back home.

It’s not really surprising that if you take a redneck Kentuckian and introduce him simultaneously to black people and soldiers, you’ll get a racist.

In summary, you’re not special, OP. You’re a product of your environment and you dim-wittedness. And lest you go braggin to your dickwad friends about the beating you’re taking from “all these libs”, you should know I’m a white conservative.
Now, if you’ll answer a question for me:

I’m white. You’re white. What the fuck makes you think we’re on the same team? What the fuck makes you think all black people are on the same team?

First of all, next time I go on a date with a black guy, I’m texting my friends that I’m going to burn some coal.

Secondly, if Patty was fat, of course she dated a black guy. Hello? God is kind! For every bee, a flower. For every sunrise, a sunset. For every fat white chick, a black guy. It’s how I get dates, so trust me , I know.

Thirdly, am I the only one to get major homo-erotic undertones in the way he’s describing his dad and his “size”? He’s one “skin glimmering in the sun” description away from some Edward Cullen shit up in here.

Would you believe, I’m a librarian shacking up with a libertarian? It’s like I tried to stay with my own kind but failed a spelling test.

It’s cute how he keeps avoiding the Obama question. He even discussed all the other successful black people somebody brought up EXCEPT Obama.

Because as a good, Secret Squirrel soldier, he can’t readily admit that he thinks the Commander and Chief is nothing better than a common zoo monkey. Aww, isn’t it kind of endearing that he’d have to take a bullet for a dirty half breed if he was still in the service?

Sorry, I did it too. :smack:

That’s pretty much how I translated ‘hilarious’, yes.

Ha! That’s what YOU think…

-XT

Porch. Porch monkey.

Seriously, you can’t play if you don’t keep up with the lingo.

Beautiful. Brings a tear to my eye, it does.

Half-breed, though? 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.
