Welcome To Topix Too Forum

Exactly, I have a hard time understanding the purpose of racism, or of being intolerant of other peoples views/opinions, however I do find myself to be short of patience with those who feel the need to downgrade women, Gays, Native Americans, people who abuse kids, animals, and the elderly I simply cant fathom why they exist

But you are a known white, male, christian, conservative basher. I remember you saying the white man is getting what he deserves because he gave smallpox to the Native Americans 200 years ago.  Your hypocrisy is astounding sometimes. It really is. Thank God we live in a day and age where the son no longer pays for the fathers sin. Just like I never owned a slave, but people out there should think I need to pay "reparations" to blacks.  Again, nobody else needs to pay for what their ancestors did, only whitey.


By the way, I kinda miss 'Whitey Blackman'. (random, I know)



 

Why would it have an evolutionary or biblical basis, racism is taught, I hardly think it is a evolutionary process, are animals racist?, furthermore I hadn't noticed Jesus teaching racism but with any organized religion you run into problems so that might be iffy at best. Nice try dear

Why either or?  Can you think of any other competing theories? We are either divinely made to serve a purpose or just a bunch of random meatbags brought out of the nothingness. I think that covers just about everything, don't you?

Have you asked an animal if they are racists? What did it say? ... I do understand some animals are highly tribal/territorial and kill other like animals or refuse to breed outside their packs. So one can draw conclusions that some of them can exhibit 'racist' like behaviors/Instincts. I think it would be somewhat hard to draw an exact human comparison if that's what you're looking for.  Early man was no difference, bound together in tight-knit like communities to survive - Tribalism.  Not much has changed in the last 10,000+ years. Blacks still self segregate, whites, Jews, gays etc. etc.  I believe this is why FORCED integration will always fail and causes more problems than it solves. It needs to happen organically, if at all.


Of course you will always have the outliers, but I'd take a well educated guess that most of it happens more do to social pressures. Women are not tribal (a good read is how French women who were sexual partners with the Germans, and then how they were treated after WWII ended) they will always migrate to what they perceive, even wrongly, to a more dominant mating partner. nor do they want to be seen as social pariahs.  The black culture has been made to look "cool" and "strong" in today's society. How many commercials do we see where the strapping young, built black guy is paired with a hot white woman and a wimpy acing white male? How about NEWS on TV- black male, white woman (usually blonde with ghetto booty). Have you seen the new Gillette commercial where all the black guys are saving the young white women from "toxic" white males?    Stop and pay attention sometime to watch what your actually being shown.


This is social engineering at it's best (worst), and dangerous. IMHO.

I can't either and it seems these days people have more compassion for someone who abuses animals than they do someone who abuses a child. I don't like people who abuse anyone.

Agreed.  Those dumb animal commercials with sad music make me sick.


Instead of quoting you on your other posts, I'll just go ahead an answer here. And this is really anti-climatic. I have to save all my climatic posts for Joanna, she's been known to take a 4 hour long bus ride to Ohio and dump women off bridges onto the creek bank out of jealousy. (inside joke)


Biblically speaking, there is no basis for racism.  Every human is a descendant from Adam and Eve. Although the wording in Genesis, probably due to the English translation, reads like Satan and Eve had offspring. Then you have the curse of Cain, some people think this "mark" is the dark skin color for blacks. Then there is the Curse of Ham (Canaan) is where blacks came from.

Now it isn't all towards blacks either. I've known blacks to try and use verses that describe Jesus to claim he was Negro , or that Blacks are the 'real' Jews and that all whites are Edomites bound straight for hell... so, there's that.


Truthfully, the description of Jesus sounds more like something you'd see on a Acid trip while listening to the Beatles Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album. IMHO.
