You are clueless aren't you ?
You are completely unaware that Sam Champion is known as the "ABC Good Morning America Liberal Weatherman."
Unbelievable.
Didn't you hear Sam's heart beating ?
"My Heart’s Pounding": GMA’s Sam Champion Reacts Emotionally To Supreme Court Gay Marriage Rulings
Sorry Redress, you are clueless and have no credibility, Sam Champion is a liberal, Learn it. Know it. Live it.
If it is so obvious, you should have no problems actually providing links to back up your claims. So far the best you have done is make a bunch of claims about one judge. That is not defending your claim, at all.
Funny how people run and hide when their made up bull**** gets called on them...
And BTW, that might be how YOU come to opinions but you don't have the knowledge to insinuate that you know how MOST Americans feel or think or how their opinions are shaped and formed. Stop trying to project this stupidity onto people you know absolutely nothing about, especially when you say "most" Americans, as if you know most Americans.
hi hyper
l am not ottomanist because l have reasons :mrgreen:
ottomans were not colonialist but kind of imperialist although they didnt directly assimilate the nations they dominated except alevi turcomans . they did their best to assimilate these turkmen tribes into sunni beliefs after the conquest of egypt by yavuz .
janissaries were mostly chosen from among intelligent strong christian boys taken from their families during war times and they formed the units of sultan's household troops .they were trained soldiers who were even able to topple any sultan from the throne .l can say they determined teh fate of the empire.
I wish :2razz:

l must be black:shock:
l understand many want to forget the discrimination period during which blacks were banned from using busses ,restaurants ,schools
but it is a fact
You have the u.s beat by far when it comes to "racism", mate.
Racism and discrimination in Turkey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Turkey racism and ethnic discrimination are prevalent in its society and throughout its history...
Racism and discrimination in modern Turkey can be traced back to the Ottoman Empire. Such Ottoman Turkish intellectuals such as Ali Suavi have stated in the 1860s that:[8]
Turks are superior to other races in political, military and cultural aspects
The Turkish language surpasses the European languages in its richness and excellence
Turks constructed the Islamic civilization.
With the establishment of the Republic of Turkey, non-Muslim citizens of the country have been subject to numerous instances of state-sponsored discrimination. For instance, many non-Muslims were fired from their jobs and were denied employment by the bureaucracy.[9][10] The State Employee Law enacted in 1926 aimed at the Turkification of work life in Turkey.[11][10] This law defined Turkishness as a necessary condition to become a state employee.[10]
...but go ahead and keep lecturing us .... :roll:
First of all you need to calm down. I've never insulted you. If you are not racist then good for you, I sat here and congratulated you on that. But if you are naive enough to sit here and think that most Americans have no negative feelings towards any race and that they honestly see every race equal to theirs then you are full of crap simple as that. These TV pundits and radio personalities know that there is racial tension in this country, this is why it always a hot topic. They make millions off of it. Take a look at this site for example. I bet if you collected statistics on every forum created here, you will see that that longest running forums are the ones talking about race. Hell even when the OP topic has nothing to do with race, somehow it will get on that track.
But this doesn't stop at American borders. Racism is one of man's greatest sins. Historically wars and genocides have taken place base on race supremacy. The problem here in this country is that most Americans don't discuss it in public because it is a social taboo. Now don't get me wrong I know your heart is in the right place and all but I am just being honest. My family is multicultural. My sister-in-law is White, some of my closest friends are white and Hispanic. My inner circle is beautiful, but I am not naive enough to know that there is a lot of hate out there right now that is plaguing this country. I am not just talking about Whites. I am talking about Whites, Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, etc...

Tukey is not the topic of this thread. If you wish to discuss racism in Turkey, please start up a seperate thread and not derail this one any further. Let's discuss the topic only please. Thank you. |
You said "most" Americans are racists. You are wrong. Period.
I respectfully disagree and here are a few reason why base on the actual definition of a racist:
1) When kids go missing, why is it that majority of the time the little white girl will make national news and other children of color don't? The media knows that it is a bigger story if the the little white girl is missing vs other kids of color.
2) Look how different cultures portray Jesus Christ. Although the New Testament includes no description of the physical appearance of Jesus before his death, most races paints Jesus looking like them. You have White Jesus, Black Jesus, Mexican Jesus etc. They can't even see Jesus being any other race because of his status.
3) In our culture, the darker you are the less attractive you are. We are taught that the European image is most attractive. When Asians come to the US, they would get eye surgery to widen their eyes. In the black community, we still struggle with the notion that the fair skin babies with "good" hair are prettier than the dark skin babies with "nappy" hair.
The list goes on and on.
Being racist doesn't mean that you necessarily hate another race. It just mean that you place your race on another tier over everyone else.

1. If that is the case then why assume that it has anything to do with race? Correlation does not imply causation, you'd have to first explore other possible alternatives and I for one would start with their economic situation.
2. My white grandparents have always had a black Jesus on their wall and a Mexican Mary but I don't see why it would matter, what's wrong with people connecting to an image that's more relate-able to them?
3. Might be true but I would need to see relevant and recent stats on that one especially in a day and age where most people in the US are of mixed ethnic/racial descent.
l am usually accused of being prejudiced against whites or hating them although l am not black :lol:
maybe it is because l am a little darker .
l still dont know what kind of white they refer to

Human beings in every culture (who aren't mentally ill) are all ethnic and tribal. They prefer their own kind.
That's how the real world works.
Lately, those natural human traits have been used as an excuse to call people "racists" and marginalize them.
It's just a weak, overused political tactic and people are beginning to see through it.
