The world is inclusive, and that's been happening as long as slaves were being shipped over so its nothing new.
that's what they are scared of.. and why this shite exists. young people accepting cultures that are strange and different to the old white retards running this country. although i'm not sure most black politicians are any better tbh.

I am a young white retard, though. I do not share the same viewpoint as my contemporaries. I see problems, of course, but I attribute them to different sources.

Hate to break it to you kid, we've had different cultures for a long while. I know you think your generation invented them, but we've been the melting pot And have been dealing with them for ages

you've been dealing with them and we've been embracing them

What exactly is the difference, in your estimation, between 'dealing' and 'embracing'? Is there a moral difference?

Most of us are mutts. This divide is far more imagined than real. You're fertile ground for propagadists

I mean it's plenty of problems and all of em aren't race, but repeatedly on this board particularly that's what you see. Minority groups belittled because they aren't straight and white. It's almost like a difference of opinion or being different is wrong and it's only fear that drives that.
I don't trust most black politicians. When I lived in Alexandria, I consistently voted for the white politicians because I knew the black ones, for the most part, were corrupt. I don't trust because of race, and I don't vote or form opinions based on it. Some of the most racist people I know, are black, and I say the same to them, you're scared of them cause you don't know them. They're not all good, they're not all bad, but you don't know who is and who isn't until you learn SOMETHING ABOUT THEM.
I have White, Black, Hispanic, Indian, gay, straight friends and coworkers I associate with. People are just people to me. The only true divider is are you a good person or a bad person. That is my divider.

"embrace"

This is the story of mankind. Rarely have any minority groups, whether they are minorities via religion or ethnicity, have been treated particularly well (unless it was the minority in control of the state, which is not unheard of) by the majority population. Homogenity tends to work - which is why I support self-determination and voluntary communities/governance to the Nth degree. Tension will always exist with diversity and proximity.

That is admirable - and it is what we ought to aspire to - but human nature has not evolved so much in our short time on Earth to make it easy to do so - and to expect fellow humans, most of whom are not particularly enlightened or gracious when it comes to sharing land (though, we do tend to be gracious to guests), to innately be egalitarian and to judge only by the individual, will only lead to a disappointment in behavior, I think.

Ding! Ding! Ding!
In recent years, the Democrats have played identity politics to try to energize its base. Obama and Hillary both changed their minds on same-sex marriage only when it became politically convenient to do so. Let's get the gays on the Dems side. Let's not forget about the class war with the stupid "Occupy Walls Street" protests. Let's try to get the lower middle class and poors on our side. And there is the race thing. Weird how Trump was a friend of the Dems while he donated to them for 30 years. Then he runs against them, and he becomes racist. Let's tell the residents of the urban centers of the country that have been destroyed when run by the Democrats for 50 years that it is the white man's fault that they suck at life. Let's get 90% of blacks to vote for the Democratic Party that keeps them in economic shackles.

The Michael brown death, utilized for political gain probably did more harm for race relations than anything in my lifetime. Those threads tend to attract people with strong opinions

Well, when you can go to a school one day two blocks from your house with kids you have grown up with and then the next day you are being bussed across town to go to school with a bunch of strangers in the name of equality's sake, yeah, you develop a little, or lot, of animosity towards the reason for that.

Younger blacks are pretty racist. Is it just younger whites that have progressed in their attitudes about race?
Posted on 2/11/17 at 1:25 am to bmy
Well, I believe your "embracing" of other cultures has limits. I imagine once their values and votes threaten yours, things change.
This new social order is about political power, not diversity for diversities sake. The footsoldiers just haven't wisened up to it yet

If you think that, you need to really go back and check the past generations. They were wayyyyyyy more racist. They talked about killing white men for the hell of it. Wouldn't do it but push came to shove would. Young black men are worried about 2 things. Money and Sex, and the women are worried about being taken care of, then money and sex. This generation of black men are about 2-3x more homosexual than any previous and are highly likely to have sexual relations with white men. Blk women are still more straight than homosexual and by way of a lessening of black men, have turned to dating white men more and more.
This is me being critical of my own race to say, honestly, unless you all are in our way, or trying to impede us somehow, we don't care, you all are like background noise that we can't avoid cause its more of you than us.
