These type of replies and comments sadden me and makes me afraid of the future of humankind in general. It has been centuries since "white" was the predominate member of society. Yet still, this ignorant view of racial superiority still exists in our society. There is no reason for this to exist. Let's face it, members from all races live in your town / city. There's no getting around it. They work with you, around you or for you. They fill positions that are necessary for you to live. Think about the guns some of you are so fond of. Gun powder wasn't invented by a white man. Think about the jeans that cover your posterior..... think some white guy made those for you? What about your cigarettes, or even the computer you're using right now to spread your brand of ignorance..... made by a white guy? I think not.
I am white, and was raised in an all white community. Sure we had our token black family, or token Hiundu family, but I was raised like many of you were. I didn't understand nor care for any other society, except my own. I joined the military, and was told that because I look like the consumate Aryan, I needed to keep my hair a little longer than I prefer, as I don't want to give the Military the wrong image. We were told a Soldier is a soldier regardless of color. We wear the same color to work, defend the county together, and when we bleed, it's the same color. After I left the service, I moved to a new city that White people were not the dominate people around. I had never seen so many different typers of people. A culture shock, but my feelings of a soldier is a soldier held true. A person who can do the job is a person who can do the job, period.
In later years, I have opened myself to other cultures, and I have never had a better time. The liquor, the foods I eat, the clothes I wear are all a result of different cultures, different types of people coming together to ensure I enjoy my life.
It is shameful that all of our society cannot make the same leap that I have. I am not professing to be smarter than you, or take a holier than thou approach. I figure that Mankind is stupid, but as an individual, we are pretty smart. It doesn't take a genius to figure that under it all, we are all the same. Sure there are different cultures out there, but they enrich our lives, not diminish them. We as white people enjoy the fruits of their ways of life. We should all embrace these differences, not shun them.
If you're going to be racist, where do you draw the line? Is it white people in general? Or is it the just Americans? Those Austrialians are a pretty wierd bunch, and I cannot understand a word that the Brits say. They're white, but they're not like me or you. Or is it that you have to be American? Sure, I can go with that, but how many generations does that have to be? 2, 4, 8 generations to make you accepted? Many of you racicially aligned people applaud Hitler's "racial cleansing". Guess what? He's certainly not an Amercian, or even pure "white", but hundreds to thousands of Americans in this lifestyle follow his words and credos with a fervour. Interesting to say the least. Many of these people also profess to be church-goers. The bible asks you to love your fellow man.... I see a whole lot of hate going on with people of this lifestyle, and we both know that whether you can admit to it our not, this is not very christian at all. What about food preferences. I know many white Americans that prefer a vegan or vegitarian lifestyle. Where is that line?
Many people are also up In arms about other races "taking good American jobs". They are "taking" these jobs, becuase typically, they are more qualified than you are. People in this lifestyle spend a majority of their time moaning and groaning, and not enough time doing. If you move to a more proactive stance, and actually prepare yourself for that job, you'll get it, instead of someone else regardless of differences religion, Race, culture, etc. There are cases of minority hiring, and I don't agree with that, but you'll probably see that this is a minority of the time.
I blame some of this hatred and loathing on your raising. It's a proven fact that violence breeds violence, and hate breeds hate. You are the change agent however. I am all for feeling part of a group with like minded people. Join the Masons. I am further all for gun lovers wanting to be together. Join the NRA or gunclub of your choice. If hurting / killing things is your gig, join a hunting/fishing club or join the Militia in your area. Stop flag waving calling yourselves true Americans. People from all walks of life, and races makes up being an Amercian, you are only a small portion of that, and your attitude is not representative of the entire population. Sure I am for freedom of speech, but not at the expense of the social retardation of you, yours and future generations. The future rests on your shoulders. Move beyond the mediaval times, and friends welcome to the year 2005.
I post anonymously, because I cannot be bothered to register for this forum, but if you have something intelligent to say, I welcome your feedback. Please feel free to write me at
caeric@gmail.com. Knowledge is power, and I am interested in what you have to say. If your response is not filled with ignorant drivel, I will write back. I have written this to open your eyes. I normally respect a man's view, and will not tred on them, but I think this line of thinking should not be given to our future generations.
If you've read this far down, thanks for being open minded enough to do so, and hopefully I have given you a few thoughts to ponder. Cheers!
