Race

[sjslhill]

Since many of these threads end up in race as an issue, this is what I think....

The Irish were really treated badly, during the civil was for example, all men were required to enlist in the Army until the war ended.

The German Americans were hated during WWII

The Japanese Americans were also treatred very badly during WWII

The Chinese Americans as well during construction of the railroad that crossed the nation

American Indians were almost wiped off the face of the US

Africans, well, we know that story....

this is just limited examples...many, many more are in history

My thoughts,
White men are greedy and want to own everything, have their stamp on it. Anyone that gets in the way, they are eliminated. (English and Americans)

We could start with man made religon next if you want, it's the same.

White men aren't greedy. People in power are. People during times of pain or suffering, tend to find some one or group to dislike. We often rationalize our misfortunes in the disliking of people or groups of people. In many cases not true. One exception...The government. You can dislike them...They dislike you.

Steve,

As bad as the Americans of Asian descent were treated within the US (and I make no excuses for them), it was nothing compared to how the Japanese treated the Chinese during World War II (which began a decade before we entered it). Or how the Chinese treated the Chinese during their Revolution. Or their Cultural Revolution. Or at Tienanmen Square. Or how the North Vietnamese treated their Southern cousins. Or how the Yanks treated the Rebs. Or the Rebs treated the Yanks.

Treating the enemy poorly has been going on for centuries.

It has nothing to do with race. Remember, it was BLACK slave traders that provided "merchandise" for the whites to bring to Europe and the Americas. Which is more cruel, the black man who exports another black man from a different tribe, or the white or Middle Easterner who buys him? Both are equally evil in my opinion.

More reasons not to like the government...Because they don't like you.

it's the treatment during: pregnant women's bellies ripped open, men legs amputated, hangings, raping et'al. I can open a Pandora box here...but I won't!

Too late, that box has already been opened...Enlighten us.

We have alot of problems in society. What people don't realize is that we are focusing on petty squabbles while the real crimes against humanity are being carried out in the U.S. capital.

We are all members of this planet, some skip the rules to enter a country that offers more than their country of birth. All democratic countries send billions in aid to countries that we and our Governments deem required.
We are all racist in some form or another....THINK ABOUT IT

Let's blame Belgium..

[RCprince]

The real crimes against humanity is committed by the IMF, The World Bank and the U.S. as it's proxy.

[domwilson]

Like I said...Let's blame Belgium.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belgium

[RCprince]

Oh, Belgium is a MF, they were behind the genocide in Rwanda. Read about King Leopold: 1, 2 and 3...the murderer of the Congo.

[RCprince]

5 members of the Security council, U.S. Russia,China, France, Britain(UK) and they peddle the most weapons. Their m.o. for dealing with Africa is: Guns for your natural resources, because we don't have any, and more guns to fight those who oppose us taking your natural resources.

[sjslhill]

I guess Andy said it best.....all man is evil.

In my years of buisness I saw more racism than you could shake a stick at. Small (less than 50 employees) Asian owned companies, the majority (90%) of employees were Asian...Indo Canadian even higher. This was in the food packaging industry and believe me the owners in most cases took advantage of their employees...bad working conditions and fear of loosing their job. Sometimes the shoe is on the other foot!
