I don't know who you're arguing against. This was never a point of contention.



Oppression has more forms than simply murder and genocide. Read a book.

What forms? Again, who is oppressing whom, Darren Wilson and the prosecutor or the thousands of blacks who rioted and destroyed their own city. No point arguing though. I've read many books, and none of them made me believe that vice is virtue and that weakness is strength. It's easy to riot and tear down a city but it's very difficult to build a culture that values family, education, and hard work. That's the true tragedy of the African-American experience.

Also, am I the one with the broken link as an avatar that iruinedyourday is referring to? I certainly can see my avatar haha

Caucasians are historically the most oppressive people on the planet. If you think otherwise, you've never picked up a history book.

The reality is that homo sapiens is a highly competitive species, and men and women of all races are capable of acts of tremendous cruelty towards "the others". You say Caucasians are the most oppressive; I say Caucasians are the most successful. Potato potahto. The reality is that European civilization is by far the most racially and religiously tolerant one out there.

The funny thing is, I see white Americans as far more racist than we were as a group 10-20 years ago, precisely because we are tired of getting beat over the head with how evil we are by you moronic social justice warriors.

It really sounds like you've only ever picked up ONE history book in your life. Your post literally oozes that Zinn historical narrative and nothing else... I feel mildly sad for you, I'm sorry to say, though you aren't the only one here who sounds like a faithful Zinn disciple. There is hope for you all. Try broadening your horizons a little. Pick up some other books and open your minds -- I promise it's worth it.

Whoever paulgiamati is, irl he's the kind of person people remember fondly after sharing a flight sitting next to him.

The guy with the broken link as his avatar, people avoid sitting next to unless they have to

And kaga is the kind that sticks his fingers up his ass in the lavatory after takeoff

It's like the old joke/question "are you an alcoholic"
whether you answer yes or no, it proves you are one.

if you are white, you need to be full of white guilt, and admit you are a racist.
if you don't admit that, it just proves just how big of a racist you are!

you lose either way. give up now.

Bingo. I'm white and grew up in a conservative household with an extended family who widely held the opinion of "we're best 'cause we're white". It wasn't overt at all. It was subtle, but it was there.

Later in life I worked as a manager of a video game arcade and I met a lot of parents of kids who were hard working, loved their children, and weren't afraid to discipline them in public verbally if they used bad language or were rough housing. I'm sad to say, a lot of the time, it was the white families whose kids were the most trouble.

My outlook on asians, blacks, hispanics, etc, changed a lot and undid a ton of the conditioning I had. People are just people, and their actions speak for what kind of persons they are.

A kid that's on drugs that strongarmed a store for stolen goods that is yelling at a cop "You're too much of a pussy to shoot me!" while threatening him is going to end up dead.

Do I agree that the above is exactly what happened? Hell no. But the question is turned away from an issue of race into an issue of the facts of the matter and what really happened. And I fucking hate the media for taking it away from that direction.

Blacks are also harming blacks so there's no reason to be mad at whitey for harming blacks!

Whitey isn't harming anyone. That's the point. You guys live in a mythological world where if whites just didn't exist, Africa would be prosperous and the Middle East would be peaceful. You're delusional. The only oppression occurring in America is rich vs poor, and there are far more poor whites than poor blacks. We are the 99%.

PS, if whites didn't exist, China would be in possession of all territory on Earth
