America:

Founded in Genocide and Built by Slavery.

I quoted this deleted message to make a point. The above thinking is something that is frequently espoused by some members of the statist New Left such as the president and it is the main reason that we haven't moved beyond the 1950s in terms of race relations. They want to fundamentally remake the country into a Marxist "worker's paradise" and are using racism and sexism as the main driving reasons because the original economic reasons have played out very poorly in other countries (and also run counter to the rugged individualism capitalism and personal freedom that founded this country.) So they continually inflame race relations and play identity politics. That may be good for getting them re-elected but it has been certainly harming race relations amongst the populace (I would say "citizens" but we're closed to "subjects" at this point, and a good chunk of the U.S. population are not even citizens.) You have every non-Caucasian group except for Asians being treated as victims and Caucasians and Asians are being forced to pay for it due to "historical trauma." Asians have actually been heavily discriminated against in the U.S. with the Chinese Exclusion Acts and the forcing of over 100,000 Japanese during WWII into concentration camps by the executive order of Socialist-Democrat-in-Chief Franklin Delano Roosevelt. But they are successful so they can't be victims. However we can't even discuss provable statistics that may reflect unfavorably on the other groups such as less educational attainment despite the heavy use of institutionalized racism in their favor ("affirmative action"), crime rates, and out-of-wedlock births just to name a few, so that any improvement on these problems can be obtained. The evil white or Asian man must always be at fault no matter what.

There were some ugly and wrong things done in the past. There are some ugly and wrong things done today as well. Two wrongs do NOT make a right despite the psuedo-karma rationale the self-serving statists have broadcasted all over the land on their bought-and-paid-for media outlets. We'll never move beyond this until we restore the Constitutionally-mandated limited government and large amount of personal freedom that this country was founded on and get rid of the race-baiting and pandering. Once we do that people will get along pretty well as a general rule as we are pretty heterogeneous and people as individuals largely do tend to be friendly to "different" individuals once they are familiar with them. It's the sanctioned hatred toward the nameless and faceless "other" that gets people all riled up that we need to get rid of.

I agree with you on this but you left out one important fact the JEWS are still being discriminated until today also.

They certainly are, becuase they are stereotypically successful. Christians are discriminated against as well because they hold an allegiance to a power they hold in higher regard than the State (their god) and their beliefs often are at odds of that of the State (see the Hobby Lobby case.) This is not to be tolerated in a statist State.

However other religions generally get a pass, in particular one which arose in the Middle East around 700 AD and has a little over a billion adherents worldwide.

 

[musical marv]

This is a fallacy most Jews are financially secure which is being negative to say the least.Christians you are right have been persecuted also.Unfortunately this is the sick world we exist in today.

 

[4Ryan6]

Christians you are right have been persecuted also.

That shouldn't come as a surprise to any Christian though Marv, as Jesus Christ covered that in the Bible!

I read the new Testament 3 times so far and again this is no surprise you are correct again.

and i may be the only one who cares, here, but today is the french national day.
Anniversary of the storming of the Bastille.

Not really a national birthday, but this day is important for us as related to the beginning of Freedom.

 

[ctbaars]

"Vive la France" :: correct response for Bastille Day?

 

[gropouce]

That's a correct response on every day ^-^

 

[4Ryan6]

[gropouce]

We will remember you and your country always in our thoughts.Peace Always.

Thank you dude.
Our two countries are united by a special connection with a common history.

As my President said:
"We were allies in the time of Jefferson and Lafayette. We are still allies today.
We were friends at the time of Jefferson and Lafayette and Will Remain friends forever.

Glad you reposted the comment again. I agree 100% with the original poster! Those are two facts. 100% truthful! You could write a 1000 page book if you want to discredit that statement but you will never be able to.

It is amazing that after all this time we still live under a stigma label, that to this day affects US racial thinking, for instance when a Black man calls himself an African American, (There's the separation label!), because to me he is not an African American, he is an American!

Period!

Until we all can look beyond the skin color and see the person, we will never be one and united.

Until we break down all barriers, we shall never know peace. If aliens came down to earth, then and only then, might we see ourselves as one race!

There will always be racism among us because that is what mankind is made out of.Un fortunately this will never change.

i don't know if it is about racism, here

We got a similar issue here; many french people are born from North African parents (Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia).
In my opinion, they love to talk about their origins and refer to it, not denial for the country that receives them, but for the sake of identity.
The archetype of the French being white grouch who drinks wine with a baguette and omelette du fromage (sacrebleu). An image that does not fit with the Maghreb. Suddenly, the French immigrant need to connect to their roots to explain their origins.
That is why I have many friends who supported both teams in the World Cup football.

In the last week this have been 2 incidents where Black-Americans have been beaten up by the police and one was killed for no reason.What is that tell me!
