Well then it isn't a real issue in the end anyway. The only reason it appears as such is for the reasons you've mentioned.

I have no problem with anyone, minority or otherwise, being proud of who they are. Odds are, I'm far more tolerant than you or any other Liberal on this board; I treat people like people, and give them all the same common courtesy and respect. No preference, no 'affirmative action', just equal.

And no one, especially not some clueless faggot on a message board, is going to tell me I have no right to be proud of who I am. I'm a guy who has never fucked someone over because of race. I've had, and still have, friends of all different backgrounds and races. And I'll defend 'em all because they're good people, and they'll back me up just the same.

My skin happens to be white. So in your mind, I should be ashamed? Fuck you.

Guess my parents were doing it wrong all of these years. Not talking to us about race. Such a tragedy too. They were so wrong to tell me to judge people based on character alone and to not be ashamed of who I am. Guess that's why the majority of my friends are of different races, nationalities, religions, etc

This is why even though we are probably pretty equal but discrimination lives on.
Racism probably would die quickly if people weren't taught that we have some reason to feel bad for what our ancestors did.

Sure, there will always be the not trusting people that look different, but that seems kinda built in, you trust "your own" first, it is sorta a defense mechanism from back when we weren't civilized.

Research has shown that people have a natural tendency to "fear" other races because they are not of their own accord. It's xenophobia and racism. You don't know or understand them, so they're your "enemy."

Don't dismiss the symptoms because you know the underlyng cause. Address both, that the patient might live.

You're overcompensating and it's impairing your reasoning. I hope.

This is what's being missed, I think. Racism is happening right now, in this country. This isn't about our ancestors. White people have an innate structural advantage in this society, one that's been put there intentionally. That needs to be dealt with in myraid ways, one of which is to make white folk aware of their place in the social hierarchy, and allow them to see how wrong that is. Being proud of oneself, and one's ancestry, isn't the issue, and I never claimed as much.

The term "white pride" is a racist mantra, and anyone who claims differently is dumb and/or lying. I am white, and proud of who I am, but I'm not proud of my whiteness, nor do I need to be. Anyone who's clinging to their race and it's inherent social status as a source of pride is at best a latent racist. If that's what you're arguing for, watch yourself get all internet tough guy about it and prove my point. like Dr. Charisma. If you're arguing about something different, then l2r33d faggots.

It's true. Rich people don't care about any color but green. I always laugh at people who think race or racism really can hold any validity in modern times.

That's not dismissing the symptoms, that's actually more efficient and progressive. Are you going to keep hacking away at a weed that pops up or are you going to yank it out by the roots?

Someday, I predict that skin color will be as significant as hair and eye color. There will be no races.

FCC's Diversity Czar: 'White People' Need to be Forced to 'Step Down' 'So Someone Else Can Have Power'


Mark Lloyd is the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)'s Chief Diversity Officer, a.k.a. the Diversity Czar. And he has in a recently discovered bit of archive audio goodness detailed his rather disturbing perspective on race, power and the American system.

Listening to excerpts of his offerings at a May 2005 Conference on Media Reform: Racial Justice reveals a man that finds great fault with our nation's power structure - as he defines and sees it. And in his racially-warped, finite pie worldview, too many white people sit alone in the too few spots atop the heap. They're "good white people," mind you, but ...This... there's nothing more difficult than this. Because we have really, truly good white people in important positions. And the fact of the matter is that there are a limited number of those positions. And unless we are conscious of the need to have more people of color, gays, other people in those positions we will not change the problem.

We're in a position where you have to say who is going to step down so someone else can have power.


So white people, good though they may be, must "step down so" "more people of color, gays" and "other people" "can have power." And thereby "change the problem" of whites running the show.

So who is "in a position where you have to say who is going to step down so someone else can have power?" Why, Lloyd is.

Lloyd now sits astride the FCC, which regulates and oversees a very finite world indeed. That being the radio dial, and the limited number of broadcast licenses that can be issued.

As Lloyd has said repeatedly if not exhaustively in writing, he thinks too few white people hold too many of this finite resource. And he has designed (in his 2006 book Prologue to a Farce) and co-authored (the 2007 Center for American Progress report "The Structural Imbalance of Political Talk Radio") a fee, fine and regulatory nightmare to effect a reduction in the number of the licenses they hold so that they may be redistributed to "more people of color, gays" and "other people."

This is how Lloyd wishes to "change the problem." This is his definition of "media diversity."

As i get older. i wondered why a person skin color is "important" to anything. people should be judge by character and not race. but one can only wish this could happen.

If you were to separate people into groups based on how they act, each group would generally be filled up by one race. That is the reason stereotypes exist. That is the reason why people categorize people by race.

Oh and to add to this thread. After I moved out of a racist city and into a city that was filled with my race, I actually got less racist. So I guess segregation might work in a way because I didn't feel racism during the time.

Too many things wrong with this argument to really bother replying to.
