Didn't read the thread but just wanted to chime in and say that it's not the color of an American's skin that defines us but rather the identity and uniqueness of American culture. The latter we have been losing do to bringing over people that hate the USA, government cheese free loaders, and having open borders. The only hope now is to shut down immigration completely, and let us fight it out over the next 100 years until we are a brownish looking, freedom loving, gun toting, God fearing nation again.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I think it is more a culture of self policing. That is, you policing yourself. Guilt culture vs shame culture is I think a related concept. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guilt-Shame-Fear_spectrum_of_cultures Consider that in the US, Washington started the tradition of quiting after two terms and it continued until FDR. Throughout Latin America the issue of term limits has been very important, because Latin American leaders have never behaved that well. There is a lot of advantages to a high trust society. However, it becomes complicated when you mix in people from lower trust societies. In large measure, that's what our immigration policy has achieved. Bohr was goofing on the weakness often noted of the German and Scandanavian societies, but there is a weakness to the northern cultures. Part of that is an assumption that everyone, like you, is to be trusted. Also, I'd say that such cultures are more objective and open minded, more willing to hear the other side. This is a typical liberal trait that is good, but when you are in a fight you might need to drop that and fight for your side, warts and all. I can say that with by Latin American in-laws, objectivity and truth are not as important as family loyality. |

Is this you. And do you consider Jews to not be white https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/304912/55199AF6-5AA0-4875-A93D-474DE2A0CD59_jpeg-932727.JPG Quote HistoryQuoted:

LOL.... My ancestors like 500 years back are probably Jewish since the ancestry shit says I'm a tiny Percentage. Like less than 1% and in 1492, the Spanish Crown kicked Jews out. But my family didn't immigrate to Cuba from Asturias (Spain) until the 1890s when my Great Grandfather was stationed in Cuba in the Spanish Army. The reason he stayed in Cuba was because after the war that Spain lost, he liked the weather since it didn't snow. That's where the Jewish connection in me comes from. From folks over 500 years ago. Try again. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/304912/55199AF6-5AA0-4875-A93D-474DE2A0CD59_jpeg-932727.JPG These folks are Jewish but I don't think they classify as White. 
As for is Israel considered a White Country. That depends, are the Sabras (70% of the country) considered White? Many here don't view Jews as White and a number of Jews themselves don't view themselves as White. Do you consider White to be a race or an ethnicity/culture? Because race and ethnicity/cut to are two vastly different things. |

More cause for celeberation among the left. ------------------------------------- The US white majority will soon disappear forever "Since the settlement of Jamestown in 1607 and the start of the Colonial period, the U.S. has been predominantly white. But the white share of the U.S. population has been dropping, from a little under 90% in 1950 to 60% in 2018. It will likely drop below 50% in another 25 years. White nationalists want America to be white again. But this will never happen. America is on its way to becoming predominantly nonwhite." Not counting them correctly is Bovine Scatology. |

I don't recall Germans, Italian, or the Irish being targeted by Jim Crow, segregated, or barred from marrying someone different. The United States for all of its awesomeness fucked up on how it treated its Black population after slavery ended. Segregation, legal and corporate discrimination, the violation of civil rights, etc is and was pretty fucked up and irrevocably ruined the full integration of Black Americans into the very fabric of this nation. To this day, they are treated differently. Whether it is for their "benefit" or not. In the end, because of our history. Black Americans have socially evolved into their own specific culture and society. Up until the 1960s, Black Americans had stronger family ties, better cultural efforts put towards educational advancement, and solid Conservative social morals. But the 1960s ruined it by the civil rights moment being coopted by Leftists and turned into the complete utter clusterfuck we see today. Multigenerational welfare destroyed the Black American Family structure. And that tied in with the history of racism, bigotry, and repression makes a shit smoothie of failure. |
