Because those things are true doesn't mean I endorse bad behavior but it also doesn't mean that preferring your own tribe or ethnic group is "wrong" or "bad".
Some people like to make up words like "racist" to disparage people who acknowledge those facts.

this isn't about someone simply 'preferring" an ethnic group, but such individuals verbally attacking a person. But yeah, the above certainly reads like an endorsement again ...

around and around in circles we go...humans are flawed...apparently the only thing you are able to get (purposely misinterpret) from everything I've posted is (that it appears to you) that I support name calling and rude behavior.

I disagree. I think there are plenty of beautiful black men and women. One who first comes to mind is the actor Denzel Washington. Plenty of beautiful black models and actresses too.

Nobody would want to be Chris Rock because he's a goof, not because he's black.

Christ I commend you for this, really I do, but as great of a person you are, you are not the norm. It is still a lot of tension in this country and everyone tries to avoid it like it doesn't exist.

I look at racism like alcoholism.

The first step to recovery is admitting that there is a problem.

You should always have pride in your race because that is who you are. However, at the same time, this does not give a individual the right to degrade another race because their culture is different. I myself love experiencing and embracing other cultures and their beliefs. It is fascinating to me learning their core values and their history. I think if we as Americans would learn to celebrate and understand other cultures, we wouldn't have all this pinned up tension and fear of each other and this country would be even greater than it is now.

Right..and that isn't "racism".

Right, to a degree...Some cultures are backward and incorrect, though, and pointing that out isn't "degrading" them.

Certain cultures are backward, don't want to assimilate, don't share the value system, heritage or culture that many americans have...

"celebrating" them and "understanding" them doesn't fix the problems they cause.

Way to stay classy America...:roll::roll::roll:


So embarrassed at times to be American.


I watched the beginning to this where they showed all 52 contestants and Miss New York was by far one of the top 3 prettiest girls there.

Why do some people have to be so damned ignorant?

Holy ****. Stop the presses guys, some nobodies made tweets. Instead of focusing on real news, let's focus on what some tards said on Twitter.

Please, don't be. This contest is nothing more than politics. It has nothing to do with beauty. :ssst:

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So any such contest is really irrelevant.

1) Because I'm am basing it off of the media attention it would get. A young white girl is the most cherish individual in this country regardless of class. When they end up missing it is a high priority APB. That urgency don't exist for other little girls of color. Don't get me wrong, I will feel sadden for a missing white girl as I would a missing girl of color because I am a father myself. However their is no equality in the rescue efforts.

2) I can honestly say that is a first for me :lol: . I don't think it is necessarily wrong to connect Jesus to their race. I just think they do it because they believe that a perfect being should look like them.

3) I know this for a fact in the Black community because I witness it.

1. Media attention doesn't cover the "why" you see more white girls getting covered by the news? It doesn't address the actual stats or the actual reasoning behind them. That's my issue here, you haven't looked into it you've just made assumptions based on your own preconceptions.

2. We're Catholic, we have a lot of religious images :) a family favorite actually has him with darker hair, dark eyes, and olive skin but there's a few white Jesus images too. I think you're partially right, people can be very ego/ethnocentric but I think it really comes down too relate-ability.

3. You don't know it for a fact if all you have are personal experiences to go on. I've never seen racism towards black people in my area but I have seen a lot of racial slurs directed towards white people so if I were to rely solely on my personal experiences then that would be the form of racism that exists. I think a higher level of accountability is absolutely necessary, you made a claim and you're trying to back it up based solely on your personal experiences which isn't enough unless you're omnipotent and omnipresent and even then people would still be asking for proof and I'm not saying that your claim is wrong, I wouldn't be surprised if it was right given how long we have been media bombarded with images of thin white women as being the 'ideal' beauty form but I'd need recent studies to back that up given how much society has changed where you have people like Hale Berry, Beyonce and Tyra Banks who have become front and center as examples of beautiful strong women.

Those who accuse you have been indocernated by liberal revisionist history, just as communist in Turkey have used revisionist history to indocernat Turks.

Before the radical left adopted revisionist history as a tactic to dumb down Americans and divide, those of us who escaped being dumbed down were taught how Turkey played is significant role of settling the American West and their connections with the U.S. Calvery during the pre American Civil War.

Those of us who weren't exposed to liberal revisionist history remember who those Turks were and especially Hadji Ali, known by most informed Americans as "Hi Jolly."

But that was back before socialist/progressives would proclaim that Turks were no longer were to be consider to be whites.

Even though the last confirmed sighting of a camel in the Mojave Desert was during the late 1950's, there are still those operating meth labs in the Twenty Nine Palms area reporting seeing a camel off in the distance.

If you were an American citizen and did understand the post, you wouldn't be one of the 52% of uninformed Americans.

The post is really about the dumbing down of America and how the political left in America divides and puts everyone in an individual sub category based upon race, ethnicity, income, education and socioeconomic status.
 
both seem rather bland, tbh
