    one thing i think we forget when whining like retarded bitches is that the united states is pretty much the least racist nation in the history of the earth.

    no matter who you are, what color you are, if you go to a place where you are a minority, you wont always feel as comfortable as everyone else. if i go japan, there will be racism, far worse than in america. thats just human nature. people tend to feel most comfortable with folks that are like themselves. if i were a minority i would understand it. if i hated it enough, perhaps i would move a place where everyone looked like me. although i think that would be pretty boring.

    like this guy gates, i live in a state with a black governor (a blind guy even, now that is a minority!) and a nation with a black president. many of you live in a state with an indian governor. minorities are not without opportunity in this nation.

    there are 2 major points i think are important.

    1. we need to stop being "proud" and caring so much about our own race and heritage and just be. we need to understand that it is random what we happen to be. race does not matter.

    2. we need to stop allowing people to play a minority card every time they get angry. if we make that too easy, it ruins them. to really be color blind we have to ignore that nonsense and make people toughen up. most races seem to be pretty good at this except american blacks.

    I rarely watch Bill O'Reilly, but I stopped on it for a few minutes last night, while he was doing viewer emails. One writer from Canada said that no one there refers to themselves as "African-Canadians" or "Italian Canadians", etc...they are all just Canadians. Is America the only country where citizens feel the need to hyphenate their nationality?

    you're aware this is never going to happen. too many like feeling victimized as well as enables them a crutch as the politicians feed into this-- knowing well aware it establishes a voter-base.

    not a whole lot different why free health care is going to be available for illegals while the compassionate here really believe we need to blow-up the current system. its just more dependency on govt. exactly what they want.

    hey, i never thought of that. that does sound ludicrous, "african-canadians". i like when examples like this come up that point out how silly something sounds.

    yeah. what i wonder about is why this works so well with black folks, but chinamen and indians and czechs and everyone else seems to not bother playing the "we were/are oppressed" card.

    its because no one ever fed into it. we dont have guilt for those people therefore never establishing they are owed anything. even though we slaughtered the phuck out of the injuns. casinos were lagniappe.

    Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee by Dee Brown should be required reading for all Americans.

    i was actually thinking of indians like calcutta, not like cherokee. i guess the american indians do play the "we are drunk idiots because of the white man" card a little. but the asian indians never play that card. they just do better than me in everything and get elected governor.

    yep. you rarely hear anyone say "yeah, that poor chinamen's dad lived under murderous communism so we better give him an affirmative action entry to engineering school". the chinaman is already dean of the engineering school.

    you also don't hear them whining about reverse racism either, or playing the race card.

    its because the culture of the africans brought to the US was obliterated. no other group had their culture demolished so absolutely for so long. the native americans came close, and thats why theyre a little whiny.
