... until you snap into reality. I've been arguing as an "anti-racist" on Stormfront for the past week, since I was getting bored and had no intention of studying every waking moment of reading week.
While their arguments are largely irrational and archaic, I've almost been convinced, or have attempted to internally rationalize the following things:
- the ZOG is real, therefore any good argument against racism/tolerance is a product of misinformation propogated by a global Jewish conspiracy
- ancestry has more to do with your character than does sociological context
- the BNP is a very reasonable and just party
- white people are heavily marginalised and disadvantaged compared to aboriginal and black people
- interracial relationships are genocidal, and it should be outlawed through draconian measures (or lynching)
- white nationalists love racial diversity... so they can totally pwn non-white people in the next eugenics war
- the US, Australian and Canadian Constitutions are based on the same underlying white European Christian principles
I could go on. It was a fun trip treading the dark waters of internet racism, but I was overwhelmed and frankly concerned about the mass brainwashing the unemployed, outsourced or rejected young people might encounter.
Has anybody felt this way? It seems like a very real threat to our great societies, especially in times of economic uncertainty, Islamophobia and the rise of white nationalism in Europe.

Just keep reminding yourself that its bullshit.
But yeah, the appeal of this crap will increase in times of war and economic hardship. I don't think the answer is to censor it though, because that will both feed their victim complex and drive them underground, where they will quietly spread their venom and possibly engage in other, darker illegal activities.
I believe that the solution is to engage them in an open debate, making use of the tools of rhetoric, politics, and science, to discredit their poison and educate as many people as is possible in facts. Thus, we can hopefully reduce white supremacy to the position currently held by the Westbourough Baptist Church: marginalized, without power, and held in contempt even by other extremists.
Also, we need to deal with the wars and economy. Take away these problems, and people will be less likely to use foreigners or other races as a scapegoat.

This is exactly what I thought. White nationalists aren't for the most part violent, and I would fully support any public debate. The problem is that people who support white nationalism would likely face persecution and alienation (leaking of the BNP membership list).
That however is the least of the problems engaging in a discussion with these people, because everything we "anti's" say is a product of Zionist propoganda and therefore false :eek2:

Well, they're going to be alienated if they hold to those beliefs. If that ever ceases to be the case, it probably means we've lost big time. However, they should generally be free to speak their mind, so long as they're not advocating criminal activity.
Of course, if they actually cross the line into violence, the government should deal with them swiftly as the criminals they are.
That however is the least of the problems engaging in a discussion with these people, because everything we "anti's" say is a product of Zionist propoganda and therefore false :eek2:
Well, their are different debating techniques depending on your adversary. Against someone who can be persuaded to your point of view, you want to be polite, reasonable, and pointing out flaws/contradictions in their argument. If possible, show how their beliefs and position are not incompatible with yours.
If persuation is highly unlikely (say you're debating a diehard fanatic), your goal should probably shift from persuading them, to simply discrediting them in front of whatever audience you may have. Its still better to do it somewhat politely though, since ranting serves no purpose but stress relief, and its likely to lose you points with the audience.;)

I am going to take a look at these one by one.
- the ZOG is real, therefore any good argument against racism/tolerance is a product of misinformation propogated by a global Jewish conspiracy
If Jews ruled the world why do they live on the only land in the Mideast without oil ??? Seriously if I ruled the world I would take the land with oil if i was going to be in a crap hole desert.
- ancestry has more to do with your character than does sociological context
I agree. My character is to wear a kilt get drunk and proclaim to be half Irish and Half Scottish. and those Damn Irish and Scots keep telling me I am only a yank.
- the BNP is a very reasonable and just party don't know who they are so they are irrelevant
- white people are heavily marginalised and disadvantaged compared to aboriginal and black people
obviously the solution is more perks for whites. i mean Asians in the US have a higher degree completion rate then whites. surely a minimum 70% white emissions quota is in order.
- interracial relationships are genocidal, and it should be outlawed through draconian measures (or lynching)Nope how else will I often date Asian girls if your going to lynch me or her for it, that's just not cool.
- white nationalists love racial diversity... so they can totally pwn non-white people in the next eugenics war
huh???
- the US, Australian and Canadian Constitutions are based on the same underlying white European Christian principles
There are some cultural aspects, but they are no where near exclusive to white Europeans. The religious ties of the US Constitution are more closely related to deism.

Well I've essentially given up arguing against racists. As my faith states, that diversity is always to be expected. The intolerant school of racism will always be a component of a democratic society.

Keep in mind that you're arguing against hypothetical white nationalist claims. I'll help clear some of these up for you.

Base operations of the ZOG are in corporate America. Without it, Israel would never have survived.

You'd get a kick out of arguments against that. They're more intellectually devestating than comical, sadly. I wish I've kept an archive of the WN responses I've gotten on Stormfront.

Basically an updated version of a false book written for the Tsarist secret police, that is, the Protocols.
- ancestry has more to do with your character than does sociological context
Eh. Almost every racist says so (including non-white racists, that is).
- the BNP is a very reasonable and just party
More or less like MEP Borghezio of Lega Nord (quod tube & google).
- white people are heavily marginalised and disadvantaged compared to aboriginal and black people
That's the best part of being an Italian in Italy. I'm white AND aboriginal!
- interracial relationships are genocidal, and it should be outlawed through draconian measures (or lynching)
Yay, they always have to justify genocide, and inventing another genocide looks a good idea to them. It never occurred them that, if they fucked more and wasted less time in playing Nazis, they would produce more of their beloved white offspring.
- white nationalists love racial diversity... so they can totally pwn non-white people in the next eugenics war
White nationalists aren't racist: to them, niggas, gypsies, jews, slavs, wogs, arabs, chinese... they're all the same.
- the US, Australian and Canadian Constitutions are based on the same underlying white European Christian principles
Basically it's true, though. What would you expect from constitutions written by white, european men in countries where Christianity was the 99% majority religion when not the State religion?
Though we might find a major influx of Illuminism in the US Constitution: you know, when Britain and USA sign the peace treaty on the Rive Gauche...
I could go on. It was a fun trip treading the dark waters of internet racism, but I was overwhelmed and frankly concerned about the mass brainwashing the unemployed, outsourced or rejected young people might encounter.

I agree.
The only solution is education. Education keeps young people from believing the lies nazis (& co.) tell.
Also, here in Italy, associations like the ANPI (Associazione Nazionale Partigiani d'Italia - WW2 Partisans' association), the ANED (Associazione Nazionale Ex-Deportati - Camp survivors' association) are doing a great job in saving original documents, and publishing new studies about neonazi movements and racist theories. Nothing debunks racist myths like plain study.

Last time I checked, they had a forum for dissenting view points.

1) Within comparatively few iterations, inbreeding makes ancestry the defining characteristic of pretty much anybody.
2) They're using an old system, where your initial attributes are determined by the race you picked. And since they're "purists", they don't allow multi-classing or anything else...
So, after a few generations, you get a master race with three thumbs, anemia, bad teeth, and eyes so close together, they can see out their own nostrils.

Where in the Bible does it say Caucasians have Jewish ancestry? I've heard a theory that England was populated by a lost tribe of Israel, but it's not Biblical and not really supported by archaeology.
The closest thing I've ever been able to find in the Bible to a Caucasian is an ethnic group called the Rephaim ("they faught like pale ghosts" or something like that) but I think they were obliterated.
It's possible that the middle east was totally sheltered from the influence of northern europeans until the advent of the roman empire, or that no one really cared about skin tone then.
In fact, writers in the Bible hardly ever describe people by their skin tone... they always refer to them based on their country of origin or their accomplishments. Perhaps a lesson for us all?

Hey -- at least I was close. Give a guy some credit for attending a rural school that offered no Latin, and who had to learn what little he does know from singing in and conducting choirs (which teaches many words, but nearly no grammar). Trust me, I can pronounce the effluvium outta some Latin.
Had I the time, I'd gladly take a course in the language. Though you being an expert, perhaps you can tell me which era I've learned to pronounce given my limited exposure:
all vowels = five pure shapes, A (ah), E (eh), I (ee), O (oh), U (oo)
CI = CHI (not KI)
V = V (not W)
I seem to recall someone once telling me that I had learned to pronounce "Renaissance" Latin, and the likes of Ovid or Caesar wouldn't have understood me or might have taken me for a barbarian.

Never understood the J. At least the Y had the Germans and French as champions with that whole u-umlaut vowel they've got going. But English just HAD to have THREE ways to make that glide sound (yell), and TWO to make the hard G (gem). Our alphabet is overpopulated/a bit redundant. Were we saving those extras for some kind of emergency?
... until you snap into reality. I've been arguing as an "anti-racist" on Stormfront for the past week, since I was getting bored and had no intention of studying every waking moment of reading week.
While their arguments are largely irrational and archaic, I've almost been convinced, or have attempted to internally rationalize the following things:
- the ZOG is real, therefore any good argument against racism/tolerance is a product of misinformation propogated by a global Jewish conspiracy
- ancestry has more to do with your character than does sociological context
- the BNP is a very reasonable and just party
- white people are heavily marginalised and disadvantaged compared to aboriginal and black people
- interracial relationships are genocidal, and it should be outlawed through draconian measures (or lynching)
- white nationalists love racial diversity... so they can totally pwn non-white people in the next eugenics war
- the US, Australian and Canadian Constitutions are based on the same underlying white European Christian principles
I could go on. It was a fun trip treading the dark waters of internet racism, but I was overwhelmed and frankly concerned about the mass brainwashing the unemployed, outsourced or rejected young people might encounter.
Has anybody felt this way? It seems like a very real threat to our great societies, especially in times of economic uncertainty, Islamophobia and the rise of white nationalism in Europe.
Just remember, these guys are the bottom of the food chain in more ways than one-if your species is as fragile as they seem to think theirs is, then it probably deserves a darwinian end-just as any society overcome with self-gratification and self-pity deserves to be allowed to extinct itself.
Any halfway successful farmer knows that "Purebreeding" results in defective animals. The human body is an animal, lack of genetic diversity leads to severe defects, lack of survival characteristics, and weakness in the wild.
Wolves and Mutts share certain common themes-they're more adaptable than pure-breeds, tend to have better, sharper, and more efficient instincts, tend to handle conditions better, and tend to have fewer weaknesses across-the-board. White Racists obviously are themselves, through their own efforts, trying to destroy their particular branch of the human species by making it less adaptable, less capable, and less survivable in the uncontrolled conditions known as reality.
Dogs, esp. Purebred, make good SERVANTS to man, Wolves are better Predators and better at self-mastery. Using Mendelian averages, therefore, a bloodline with lots of hybrid vigour will tend to have greater strength in a world whose environment changes-and requires less external support. From a Eugenic standpoint, the best option for preserving the positive aspects of the Anglo-Saxon tradition, is to breed with as many other races as possible as a means to reinforce your culture's dominance-through a combination of strength and adaptability. Therefore, Interracial pairings are the best bet for strengthening the cultural values these inbred/overbred retards (BNP for example) pretend to value.
In short, Racism is a short-path to making oneself and one's descendents biologically inferior.

This is a tale explaining the manner in which my way of life was rotated along a Y axis until it reached a position roughly 180 degrees from that which it started. If I could have 60 seconds of your time, simply place your posterior in the selected location, and I will relate to you the details of how I was made the male monarch of the district of the City of Los Angeles, California located at coordinates 34.08333 -118.44778.
In the western region of the “City of Brotherly Love” known as Philadelphia, my mother expelled me from her womb and indeed that is also where I spent my childhood, in my mother’s care. The majority of my time was spent in a recreational area containing such diversions as a jungle gym, swing set, sand box, etc. I was typically at the height of leisure while frequently at a temperature slightly below what might be considered standard room temperature. Outside of my educational institution I was engaging in a game of basketball with some of my friends, when a couple of gentlemen who seemed to be of the disposition to cause a great deal of mischief began causing a great deal of chaos and disharmony in the area in which I lived. I was involved in one rather small bout of fisticuffs after which my mother became concerned for my general safety and well-being, and she informed me that I would be moving in with her sister and her sister’s husband in the previously mentioned community located at the previously mentioned location.
I implored my mother to relent approximately 24-48 hours ago, yet she gathered my belongings in a somewhat flat, rectangular shaped piece of luggage and expelled me from her presence. She placed her lips upon my cheek in an affectionate manner and handed me a pre-purchased pass for public transportation. I placed the headphones for my personal music system into my ears and verbalized the idea that I may as well impact this situation with my foot. Traveling in the highest available level of comfort, this is indeed an unfortunate situation (although I make this statement with some irony). Consuming the juices obtained by the squeezing of the fruit of a Citrus sinensis from a piece of glass stemware commonly reserved for the sipping of sparkling wine originating from the Champagne region of France, I pause to wonder if this is indeed how the residents of the admittedly upper-class neighborhood located at the previously mentioned location commonly live. Indeed, I find this situation may be rather to my enjoyment.
I puckered my lips and exhaled forcefully to produce a shrill note in order to gain the attention of a taxicab driver, and as the driver approached I observed his California vanity plate which, in place of the traditional jumble of alpha-numeric characters, used only the letters F, R, E, S, and H, spelling out the word “fresh”. Additionally, from his rear view mirror dangled a pair of oversized, fur-covered cubes decorated to look like the six-sided dice commonly used in gambling and board games. In such a situation I could have made a statement about the unusualness of this particular taxicab to the point of it being nearly unique. Instead I cogitatively decided against it and instead informed the driver that he should deliver me to what was to become my new home in the community located at the previously mentioned location.
We pulled up to a large domicile sometime between the hours of 7 and 8 o’clock, and in a loud tone of voice I informed the cab driver that at some undetermined point in the future I would again detect his odour through my sense of olfaction. I gazed about the region of land that I was destined to rule, reflecting on my arrival: Here I would claim my rightful place upon the throne, from which I would govern the previously mentioned community of Bel-Air as monarch.

Calgary, which I frequently visit, is considered a hate-crime capital of Canada.
I've always been a bit skeptical of the phrase 'hate-crime.' It seems like an unnecessary modifier. If, say, you jump someone out of nowhere and whup their ass, it's 'assault' regardless of whether you did it because you wanted money or because you didn't like the way they looked.

Cop killing is an unnecessary label too, killing people is murder regardless of their occupation. I suppose terrorist is an unnecessary label as well, since they too ultimately murder people.
Why do we use the specific term 'racist' when labeling somebody who is intolerant of other races, when they could be described as bigots :confused:
Do you see how you completely missed the point of using the term? I'm not saying hate-crime is more heinous than other forms of assault, I am being specific about the type of assault that occurs in the hate-crime capital, which is hate-crime.

No, I don't see that at all. If you were being specific about the type of assault that occurs, you would use terms like 'assault and battery', 'assault with a deadly weapon', 'assault with intent' 'aggravated assault' or the like, instead of the amorphous term 'hate-crime'

The problem comes in this: when you talk "Hate Crime" you're really saying "Thought Crime". It really doesn't make a difference to an assault, robbery, murder, or rape victim whether the crim did it because their skin is a different colour-though it might make it somewhat easier to get the verdict "Guilty" if you have a clearly expressed motive (A black victim and a neo-nazi perp, for instance-it's easy to prove motive there), but affording special protections to certain classes of citizen based on "Race" or religion kind of runs counter to the whole idea of a nation founded on ideals of equal justice.
Nonetheless, there is a point to your argument that has to be taken into account-namely, that some factors aggravate a given crime. A man who runs a kid over by accident likely shouldn't face the same penalty as a child-molester who kills his victims to keep them from talking.
At its core, Racism is really about weakness-the weakness of its adherents, their inability to cut the mustard, and their inability to take responsibility for their own lives. It's a giant game of blaming someone else for one's failures-and you can find the strongest examples of racism in the prison-system itself-among the inmates, the failures of the human race, people who've chosen to lay all the blame for their fundamental weakness and inferiority on someone else, rather than stepping up to being responsible and productive people.
Racists should be marked as what they are-failures who should be segregated from the rest of the body of the people and prevented from reproducing-but we have to wait for them to do something to lock them up (Presumption of Innocence)-to that purpose, we have "hate crime" legislation to add mandatory extensions to sentences for crimes committed by these human failures, so that we can place them into a place, a society, where they can be prevented from doing further harm...for a time.
The problem being that such concepts can be (and have been) extended and distorted, and can be further distorted to be used as a weapon, and there's really no solid criteria encoded to limit the ability of Lawyers for the prosecution to abuse the term-it can be used, therefore, as a weapon to silence non-radical, non-racist dissent, and we have only to rely on the ethics of LAWYERS to protect society from such distortions.
Notably, Lawyers don't have the kind of ethics that human beings have-they're generally of the "It's Legal? then it's moral" code of operation, and thrive on ambiguity and selective-interpretation.

Cop killing isn't written into the code of law it is only murder. A hate crime makes a murder or an assault labeled as "worse". When in reality it is the same action. Even the intent issue is a little off as most assaults murders ETC are done with malice.

I like this bit, with reservations. Even with a black victim and a Neo-Nazi perp, while race may be a motivating factor, I think it might be harder to prove that it was the motive, unless the crime has obvious racial overtones, such a body left hanging with a sign on it that say 'Niggers Go Home' or some such. A simple mugging could be just that, and the victims skin color could be incidental, regardless of the perp's ideology.

I'm not advocating Sterilization. I'm advocating separating them and limiting their opportunities to pollute the gene-pool in accordance with their own standards revolving around the ideas of Eugenics. A criminal is caught, he's either not a very good/smart crook, or he's too weak to function in a civilized society-either way, it comes down to inability-inability to obey the law, or inability to successfully skirt it. using their own "Superior/Inferior" standards, these people are fundamentally unfit to contribute to the next generation, and should be housed in facilities that prevent them from doing so, or reduce the rate at which they add to the next generation of inmates.
(Personally, I think locking people up for the crimes they do is generally enough-it prevents them, for a time, from doing it again, and provides the salvageable ones with a chance to think hard and long about how they got there-and how they might avoid a return stay.)

It's got nothing to do with an inborn 'ability/inability' to either follow or sucessfully break the law. Neither criminality nor lawfulness is genetic. A criminal is a criminal because he chooses to break the law, not because he is incapable of obeying it.

Taken honestly, you're right-but we're not talking about addressing things honestly. People who choose to break the law, should be punished for their choice-breaking the law.
However, that's an HONEST assessment. The problem in this subject, is that it involves a precept that's fundamentally dis-honest: that 'Race' matters...at all.
Notably, most people are fundamentally dishonest, choosing to shirk responsibility and lay blame on "Others' while identifying themselves based on false ideas like Racial Identity. Taken to the logical end, such folks believe in Eugenics.
Belief in Eugenics as a predictor of behaviour is a core tenet of racist belief patterns-so, using their belief patterns, one comes to the conclusion (really, inescapable) that in a world run according to the "Function" of Eugenics, most Racists are themselves unfit to reproduce.
i.e. I'm judging them based on THEIR 'moral structure' for the sake of this argument. Who your parents were has and should have no bearing on your actions and choices with regards to issues like criminality or financial success, nor be used as an excuse for the same...but if someone WERE (and many ARE) using such a measure, then obviously, they should save the rest of us a headache or three and simply not produce offspring so that such deviancies are reduced.
This follows closely to both the Leftist concept of "Collecive Guilt/Generational Guilt", and on the Racist concepts of Eugenics determining criminality-which means it has (roughly) bipartisan support, and in the end supports both sides' idea that humanity is perfectable as a collective.
I should add the disclaimer that while I'm arguing something that is, fundamentally based on indefensible concepts, I don't believe in those concepts-your parents might shape you by how they raise you, they might damage you by drinking or drugging while you're in the womb, or exposing you to toxins during development, but there's no "Smart Gene" or "Ethical Gene"-I believe that a person is exclusively responsible for their own actions, and that each individual is exclusively answerable for those same actions.
However, at the same time, I DO believe that Criminals are people-they chose a lifestyle that gets them into prison, and they should be brought to justice in that system...for what they DO, not what they are, or claim to be.
AND I tend to believe that most lawyers can be defined as parasitic entities who thrive on continuing the misery of other people. Sorry, but that's a matter of choice and behaviour as well. I believe fully that Lawyers' main activity is not respecting the law, nor upholding it, it is manipulating and exploiting and expanding the Law...and I think most of them have fewer morals and ethical limitations than a typical used-car salesman with the "Easy Credit" sign in a poor community.

Intent has always affected sentencing. We differentiate between spending three weeks carefully plotting to kill your aunt so you'll inherit her money and flipping out and stabbing your wife when you caught her cheating on you. Both victims are equally dead, but we still consider those crimes to be different. Similarly, killing someone because they belong to some category of people is an aggravating factor, and strongly implies a higher chance of recidivism - after all, most people only have so many wealthy aunts or cheating wives, but they're going to encounter plenty more black people.

Hate-crime is a specific kind of crime with a racist intent. Spray painting 'kike' on a synagogue is a specific type of vandalism, namely hate-crime. Kicking down an immigrant and calling her 'chink' and yelling go back to Chinkdom is an assault with a racist intent, making it a hate-crime.

actually While George Washington carver invented a lot of products for the peanut, he was not the inventor of peanut butter. Modern Peanut butter was invited by a doctor in ST. Louis. Those who continue to claim Carver try to use a policy of his of not patenting food products, and the one reference to a paste neither mentions roasting or salting.
But before you go turn into a racist.
The Aztecs and Incas technically invented peanut butter before white people even knew what peanuts were(or that America existed). After all Peanut butter is just ground and cooked peanuts with a little bit of salt.

And in those incidents where the motivation is clearly heinous and the perpetrator would pose a risk a greater society by being motivated by an emotion that makes him more likely to repeat the offense.
Just like cop killing it is already in the judges ability to factor these sorts of things into sentencing with out using written law to tie their hands.

Hate crimes are called hate crimes because the motivation for it is far more despicable. Spray painting "Christ Killers" on a synagogue or burning crosses on a black person's lawn is a far more provocative act than spraying your name on a train, or setting fire to a rubbish bin, since the mentality and the motive behind the acts are born of a viewpoint which in the past has seen genocide and other atrocities as the logical result of such a mentality. To suggest that these crimes are "only assault" or "just vandalism" is to ignore the historical significance of the words or actions. It whitewashes the fact that until recently, many of these acts were accepted, and even promoted, as appropriate and just things to do.
In regards to the OP, I do not find any White Nationalist argument convincing, and am horrified to see my politicians pushing for votes by using the same fear-mongering language that these despicable human beings utilise. I spend a lot of energy demonstrating the ridiculousness of these arguments to less enlightened friends who don't perceive the obvious flaws and the inevitable conclusion of these viewpoints.

1. Arguing about the meaning of things is what Internet forums are for, besides no topic should be outside of discussion, on the Internet or in society.
Fair enough. I will remind you that you are skeptical of using the term 'hate-crime'. Crimes motivated by an identifiable group should be generalised, because a crime is a crime irregardless of intent (even if it is contrary to my understanding of judicial processes).
Yet, here you are achknowledging what a hate-crime is:
You can have 'hate-crimes' that are motivated by things other than race. Things like sexuality or ideology or religion.
This essentially defeats your argument that the term hate-crime is an unnecessary modifier in the context of my post:
Calgary, which I frequently visit, is considered a hate-crime capital of Canada.
The term hate-crime can be interchanged with "'hate-crimes' that are motivated by things [like race,] sexuality or ideology or religion" which you suggested in your reply.
That, and it can be tricky to prove 'intent.'
That is irrelevant in designating certain crimes as hate-crimes. You should argue with those involved in judiciary affairs or NSG lawyers.
A simple mugging could be just that, and the victims skin color could be incidental, regardless of the perp's ideology.
That is an argument you could use (fruitlessly) on a debate discussing hate-crime legislation. You were specifically addressing me on your reply, the use of the term hate-crime, so this is off topic.
2. Its still just Vandalism. spray painting Kike may be motivated by hate or it might be motivated by someone knowing it is shocking.
Yes it is in essence vandalism. But I already defined what is accepted outside of the legal context as a "hate-crime". If you reject vernacular definitions, I will direct you to section 718.2 on the Criminal Code of Canada:
718.2 A court that imposes a sentence shall also take into consideration the following principles:
(a) a sentence should be increased or reduced to account for any relevant aggravating or mitigating circumstances relating to the offence or the offender, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(i) evidence that the offence was motivated by bias, prejudice or hate based on race, national or ethnic origin, language, colour, religion, sex, age, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation, or any other similar factor,
shall be deemed to be aggravating circumstances;
Canadian law clearly has reservations for specific types of crime, defined as a an offence that was motivated by bias, prejudice or hate based on race, national or ethnic origin, language, colour, religion, sex, age, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation, or any other similar factor.
I am fairly certain that the US, or whatever country you come from has similar hate-crime laws.
So I am correct in distinguishing hate-crime vandalism and not-hate-crime vandalism.
two people arguing and uttering racial slurs at each other is not a hate crime its a fight.
Irrelevant to the discussion, because I never said two people arguing is a hate-crime.

On a lighter note I just remembered some more ridiculous statements made by white nationalists. Here are examples:
Of course, you might say that it's unfair that you would be held accountable for the actions of other non-Whites, and you'd be absolutely correct. Welcome to our world. We Whites have been held accountable for the actions of other Whites - even Whites from other countries and other periods in history. Even in East Asia, during the Boxer Rebellion, White Americans were expelled from China merely because of their race.
I believe in absolute reciprocity of treatment. So, if you're Vietnamese, then your treatment in Western countries should be the same as Westerners received in the "Hanoi Hilton." If you're Japanese, then your treatment in Western countries should be the same as Westerners were treated in Japanese POW camps during World War II. Similarly, how the Chinese treated us during the Boxer Rebellion will be how they are treated here in the United States. Blacks will be treated accordingly based on how blacks treat Whites in places like Zimbabwe and South Africa. And so on.
Since Whites have been judged and condemned based on the worst among us, so you must face similar judgment as a race. However we are judged is how you will be judged. That, to me, is absolute fairness and equity based on the precedents already set by non-Whites and anti-racists.
Apparently the white Americans have been enslaved as a race.
OK... this has been niggling me forever. Here's the question:
GIVEN that 2,000 years ago, Europe was full of barbarian tribes lobbing spears at each other, and America was full of barbarian tribes firing arrows at each other and Africa was full of barbarian tribes throwing spears at each other, and given that Europe, America and Africa are places that are very fertile and very rich in all kinds of resources...
IF we are "all the same" as liberals like to say...
WHY have Europeans progressed from primitive tribalism to writing to building cities and discovering electricity, computers, flight, medicine and spaceflight and are on the very verge of traveling to another planet, while Africa is *STILL* full of primitive superstitious warlike tribes that never invented one single thing?
I'd appreciate any answers from liberals and multicultis and, hey, let's hear from some of the darker races too.
Thanks in advance for your no doubt enlightening responses.
Europe was the only land to cultivate technology. Nope, Europe never transplanted science and philosophy from their eastern friends. Averroes was white! Papermaking is a result of European alchemy!
? Logic dictates it's the multiculturalists who hate. They want all God's unique and wonderful people thrown into the blender of racial chaos. Meanwhile, people here understand the value and uniqueness of God's creations, from the spotted owl to Europeankind. People here invision societies where each people can have the freedom to have their own unique people and their values, ethnics and culture represented.
He has a very good understanding of evolution, it apparently stopped after white European became a homogeneous group of people.
White nationalist sentiment from a minority: http://www.stormfront.org/forum/showthread.php?t=535452] The entire thread is just rich!
We always hear multiculturalists and mass immigration fanatics talk about how the Western nations need to take in hordes of immigrants from the third world because they live in poverty and the only way they can escape it is by coming here.
He is exactry right, what are we doing sending foreign aid when they could just come here!

Given that 2000 years ago Augustus' Roman Empire was spreading over a good half of Europe and all the shores of the Mediterranean, with paved roads, aqueducts and public thermae everywhere... the one who wrote that is a total moron.

This is the sad part.
To be fair, social programming can take a long time to overcome. That's partly why I see the topic about the Satanist as such a breakthrough for me, because I didn't have to first sit myself down and run through the whole, "I don't share his beliefs which seem odd and unusual to me, but my own beliefs versus his are not the point. He is entitled to all the protections I am."
This time it just came naturally. Er...not that the subject has come up before per se, but the fact that jumping to the defense of his religious freedom was my natural response and not one I had to work to take out of moral obligation is a big one. For me.

Well, the first inhabitants any where in the world were probably microbes or something of that sort. If you mean "first human inhabitants," then maybe Europe?
Hate crimes are called hate crimes because the motivation for it is far more despicable. Spray painting "Christ Killers" on a synagogue or burning crosses on a black person's lawn is a far more provocative act than spraying your name on a train, or setting fire to a rubbish bin, since the mentality and the motive behind the acts are born of a viewpoint which in the past has seen genocide and other atrocities as the logical result of such a mentality.
More importantly, the POINT of a hate crime is to terrorize a specific group. Spray painting "Dale Was Here" is just vandalism. Spray painting "Kill All Kikes" is about terrorizing Jews. Physically speaking, both are just three words being spray painted on a surface...but they're not the same crime.
