When I was a young adult, I would joke with my friends, "I'm not a racist, I hate everyone equally."

In truth, I wasn't a rascist at all. I was raised to respect all people, but as I got older, I felt that I was becoming a rascist; not in some aryan/KKK sort of way, only in that I became more agitated with other races.

I examined that feeling quite a bit and discovered that it wasn't racism at all, but rather a growing displeasure with cultures, that were either way different than mine or those that were consuming what I grew up with.

Its not that all foreign cultures are offensive to me, in fact I find the study of culture to be interesting, especially with regards to food, family and worship, but I wish to preserve and practise my own culture.

That is why I find our own immigration process so offensive. We are importing peoples that have no regard for the LAWS of the US and so many that are consuming what cultures that are already here.

Am I a racist? No. I have many friends whose race is different than mine. I find that neither race is superior to the other, only different.

I am proud of my culture and do wish to preserve and that is why I am offended when I see so many of a different culture move into the neighborhood.

/soapbox off.

“Foolish is a man who can think they can walk on water without a faith. Islam has infore declare war again, this time war will come to them. We in Europe are nice, eto we are barbarians and of what I know, we are going be mad very soon. Only knees I will kiss are His Majesty of Israel and it will be this way. Political cretins do not know what is truth and honor of faith of country you love. Eto fore their selfishness and arrogance will have innocent blood in their hearts. Psychopath of Iran want to kill innocent people, North Korea is playing game, world talks; Israel is protecting itself; world voice is high pitch soprano against Israel. What is happening? Allow Japan to militarize allow Israel to do what is right, this nonsense will stop.

Instead, innocent people are dying.”
