Race War A'Comin'?

I was stunned a few weeks ago when a black professional colleague told me there were all-black cruises that featured speakers such as Louis Farrakhan

I have lived all over the world...by your definition the whole world is punks and losers because I have yet to find any culture or nation where race is not part of the equation

noble gesture on your part and since you are mixed race I can see why it suits you to feel that way and wish for it...hell..we all do...racial and ethnic harmony...but it's never really been about that you know

i have found that many peoples and cultures are race defined physiologically with distinguishing characteristics both good and bad

to deny that would be to ignore the empirical evidence I've witnessed over a lifetime just to suit noble cliches

many generalizations about the different groups under the broad flag of the human species are based in truth...what we do as decent folks is to try to always recognize the exception

this obsession with parity has really always been nothing more than an excuse to denigrate what we used to call western civilization which if you are part Hispanic includes you...Spain was almost as pivotal as Britain in the advancement of latter western culture...my oldest daughters are half latino..BZ

I am descended from Pochahontas and my wife is around 1/16th Cherokee-Creek but neither of us dwell on that as a anti-Caucasianism

on a side note....the art work of American Indians is almost indistinguishable from Mongolians today...small wonder I guess...my cousin married a Mongolian lass...she's tall too..oddly...great hair

"this obsession with parity has really always been nothing more than an excuse to denigrate what we used to call western civilization which if you are part Hispanic includes you...Spain was almost as pivotal as Britain in the advancement of latter western culture...my oldest daughters are half latino..BZ"

Most Europeans can trace their DNA to the Iberian Ice Age refuge, 25,000 years ago. 68% of all Europeans are yDNA(male) R1b and come from that same Iberian refuge. I would expect that many Hispanics have the yR1b DNA from the Spanish male conquerers who were predominately R1b. Of course, the Asian mtDNA(female) would dominate the Hispanic DNA groups.

I'm R1b and have traced my DNA back to Denmark (blue eyes, blonde hair) a few thousand years ago...but, I could still be closely related to Mexicans with the R1b genes.

Anyway, there wasn't one mention of a war in the article, just in the misleading title.

Thanks for your opinion. Sounds like drivel to me. I feel no need to denigrate Western society and I feel no need to hate someone because of the color of their skin. I will, however, hate and fight to protect my own from people who would do them harm regardless of what ideology motivates the aggressor(s).

I have lived in many places, though I won’t claim to have lived all over the world. I have found just the opposite of what you have found. Most people have more important things to worry about than race.

I personally don't think you've ever lived where whites are a minority in which case race does matter. But since you are not white then of course you would not know....actually you should if you just paied attention.

All the race talk in the world aside from local tribal stuff has to do with redress from the social injustices perpetrated by white culture. I had hoped it had to do with colorblindedness but it never did...we were fooled just like soft whites got fooled by Obama's lofty rhetoric.

If you've missed that then I doubt you've ever lived in many places except I'm guessing the urban US..sort of MTV demographics of their staff

I am a native Jackson Miss native. I am white. I cannot visit where I grew up to show my kids...former clean middle class neighborhood gone to seed and now 100% black ghetto...basically David Banner's neighborhood he writes of because I could be killed for being white. Same as Kingston or Johannesburg.

So you can save your self serving nonsense that race doesn't matter for those of us living it where it does....where a wrong turn or flat tire can mean rape, robbery, assault or even death just for being white.

“...save your self serving nonsense...”

You are free to disregard me but I will speak my mind when and where I please. Thanks for your input.

Incidentally, your conjecture about me is laughable. Do you make a habit of injecting things that aren’t there into everything you encounter? Perhaps that’s why you believe most of the world is racist.
