Why Racism is Evil         


Date: Aug 30, 2007 16:36

The following comments are concerning the appending article by Thomas
Jackson. I like the articulateness and forcefulness of this article,
though I would counter it with the following points of views:

1. If going as the article suggests, our society would end up being
totally segregated again, with minorities hopelessly at the bottom,
possibly slaved again. The past hundreds of years have witnessed that.
And if you think this is the moral and conscientious thing to do, go
for it.

2. Let's just say there are differences between racial groups (A and
B) intellectually, with A being higher than B. These differences, even
based on the most radical estimation from some of the most radical...

Portugal was once a great nation. It might have been the greatest
nation on earth at one time. But now it is almost like a third world
country. What happened? Race-mixing is what happened. They let a lot
of Black people in and of course the result was racial inter-marriage.
Now the Portuguese people are not as White as they were. We need to
preserve the White race. Here are some quotes from Mein Kampf:

"All that we admire in the world to-day, its science, its art, its
technical developments and discoveries, are the products of the
creative activities of a few peoples, and it may be true that their
first beginnings must be attributed to one race. The maintenance of
civilization is wholly dependant on such peoples. Should they perish,
all that makes this earth beautiful will descend with them into the
grave."

"All the great civilizations of the past became decadent because the
originally creative race died out, as a result of the contamination on
the blood."

If that were to happen, the country who is enslaving would be innundated
with subversives who would exploit the disenfranchised for their
purposes and ruin the enslavers. THAT is what drove the wiser USA
government proponents of integration and equal rights; they were looking
to the welfare of the country.

Oh, BTW, blacks are a majority in central, critical centers of the USA.
So you can be sure that stepping on them hard will cause chaos that
nobody could imagine.

I am smarter than you and I am in the B group. Your metrics are stupid.

Thanks very much for that, Topaz. You are now on the Hit Hit List. Asshole.

I dunno the demographics of Portugal, but have read that whereas the
west end if the Island, Haiti, is 99%% black DNA, the east end is only
85%%, the rest being Aryan. And you can see the line from the air quite
clearly. Haiti is brown and devastated, the Dominican Republic is
green and lush.

But there is no need to rely on racial profiling. They are beginning
to identify the clusters of haplotypes that result in violent
aggression, and will no doubt begin to nail down those that relate to
talent and intelligence. Some of these have already been discovered in
trying to track schizophrenia. Likewise with depression. Many great
artists, Van Gogh to Fitzgerald, have had problems with addiction and
insanity.

So- we dont need affirmative action either. We can use the MMPI, IQ,
hormone levels in the blood, and haplotypes in the DNA to identify
those *individuals* who match the profile of success in some given
position. We can also use the FMRI, electroencephalograph, and even
Dr. Paul Ekman's techniques of microexpressions, recorded with high
speed video, to judge from the interview whether a candidate is
trustworthy.

Let look at this from a basic level. Racism is, at its core, a belief
that I am better then someone else based upon non-earned character
distinctions. Some folks try to link this to genetics, but the
genetics disparity between groups simply does not support
characterization of other traits (strength, intellect, propensity for
certain diseases) based upon skin color alone. {I read a really good
article about this in Discover magazine a number of years ago}
So racism is really just perception. I.E. I perceive myself (and my
group) as being better then someone else and their group.
For good or for bad (I think the former) our global world and global
interactions haver really marred the lines between the traditional
"races". In some of this worlds most diverse cultures (i.e. North
America and...

Bandura followed up Milgram's work on obedience by adding input that
makes the suject think that the target of his aggression will be
either more or less acceptable. The willingness of people to believe
that unknown others are inferior or worthy based on trivial pieces of
information is remarkable. ...

Sure blame the Christians. We're an easy target.

Let look at this:

Everyone is equaly sinfull - (non racist)
God must punish sin (non racist)
God through love made a way of salvation available to everyone i.e. a
way to avoid his punishment of sin (non racist)
God puts no requirements upon his love and acceptance all we have to
do is accept his gift to us (non racist).

I would disagree with anyone who thinks that God is racist.

Re: The TRUE evil has a false mask on these days

Simply put...
Multiculturism and the random mixing of 'disparate' peoples only creates
balkanized societies with each group politically and dimetrically opposed to
the majority. It is really social suicide if you want the truth [for whites
today].

We all have a natural genetic obligation toward our own ancesterage and
right of way in the world. It is a predatory nature we live within, and
though civilization is some escape from a more cruel predatory jungle, we
cannot entirely escape it. We should never lose sight of this greater
struggle of survival of kind.

The modern era has promoted several generations now removed from the
harshness of that cruelty this predatory nature exists upon, and 'sentiment'
has lost it's way to the higher responsibilities of personal...
