Who is Zeshan Shabaz? Sounds mid eastern, probably a radical of some sort?
Good to know who writes what as backgrounds are usually taletelling.

As I watch the Olympics, there is an absurdity going on...but opposite to
what we are 'taught' to think. My Gawd, we had a Kenyan running for USA in
the 5000M for chrissake. Then a team is just the uniform they wear...right?
That's the absurdity. Any nation is more than just a uniform. Mark my
words, we are in a kind of dark age on this subject...and we will have to
emerge from our darkness or, IMHO, perish from the chaos we now build.

"Liberals and respectable conservatives say there is this RACE
problem.
Everybody says this RACE problem will be solved when the third world
pours into EVERY white country and ONLY into white countries."

"The Netherlands and Belgium are more crowded than Japan or Taiwan,
but nobody says Japan or Taiwan will solve this RACE problem by
bringing in millions of third worlders and quote assimilating unquote
with them."

"Everybody says the final solution to this RACE problem is for EVERY
white country and ONLY white countries to "assimilate," i.e.,
intermarry, with all those non-whites."

"What if I said there was this RACE problem and this RACE problem
would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were
brought
into EVERY black country and ONLY into black countries?"

"How long would it take anyone to realize I'm not talking about a
RACE problem. I am talking about the final solution to the BLACK
problem?"

Name-calling Ad hominem fallacy.

If you'd like to take the course of a civilized, rational, individual,
then, logically, assess the argument(s).

I would not be telling this to the people slaughtered to get the Promised
Land nor to the parents of the Egyptian first born.

Values assigned are not necessarily values lived.
