Cebrious Arcane;1501475 said:You didn't detail why it's the most ridiculous statement you've ever read, but please do. As I said, any points involving slavery are moot because every group of people that has ever been able to oppress another for gain has done so.
Cebrious Arcane;1501475 said:We're talking about racism, and you're a racist.
Cebrious Arcane;1501475 said:If they wanted to go of course he supported them. Wow, your ignorance is surprising.
Cebrious Arcane;1501475 said:That's why I underlined began. Malcolm X fought for equality, stood-up in the face of adversity, and inspired a nation, that's why I used him as an example. He went against the oppressor, not because of skin color, but because of ideals and behaviors.
Cebrious Arcane;1501475 said:No, it's not. Reread.
Cebrious Arcane;1501475 said:Who are you getting your information from and how do you judge success?
Cebrious Arcane;1501475 said:The U.S. And hopefully by 2100 we'll have moved beyond petty categorizations based on race and there will no longer be any consideration for the minority vs the majority because all cultures and classes will be equal.
Cebrious Arcane;1501475 said:Who makes the guns the Africans use to kill each other? And again, slavery is a moot point.
Cebrious Arcane;1501475 said:Have you been to Singapore?
Cebrious Arcane;1501475 said:Aside from that fact that it is nowhere near as comfortable as western countries,
Cebrious Arcane;1501475 said:...the majority of the population is native to the region, not colonized immigrants.
Cebrious Arcane;1501475 said:Do research please, you're in dire need.
Cebrious Arcane;1501475 said:China is in Asia, thus, the Chinese are Asians. Though to further my point, the Japanese, Koreans, and Thai were also forced into labor.
Cebrious Arcane;1501475 said:And yes, being forced to work for no monetary compensation is slavery.
Cebrious Arcane;1501475 said:Called by whom? Your Klan leader? I have never heard that term used once and would scoff at anyone that tried to purport such a term.
Cebrious Arcane;1501475 said:This post will be long enough without an abundance of quotes for the sake of proving the point. Every time you make a statement referencing "White" "Black" "superior" "inferior" (in reference to a culture or people) or try to defend blatantly racist actions, you are making a racist statement.
Cebrious Arcane;1501475 said:There is no need to make any distinction based on skin color. None whatsoever. So the fact that you even use the words White and Black with reference to a group of people is wholly and totally racist.
Cebrious Arcane;1501475 said:I've never seen a White person or a Black person because white is the absence of color and Black is the absence of light.
Cebrious Arcane;1501475 said:Because your statements have the air of fact with no support. NationMaster's almost exclusive source is old CIA information. I asked for your source because facts like that are unprovable because they're based on the victim and the legislation.
Cebrious Arcane;1501475 said:Furthermore, poverty breeds crime, which would be a much more believable reason for your statistics than race and country.
Cebrious Arcane;1501475 said:A biased fact based on information from a fallible source. Your statement is based on race. Thus it is a racist statement.
Cebrious Arcane;1501475 said:"Blacks" is racist. And your quote of yourself is abbreviated.
Cebrious Arcane;1501475 said:Egypt has a higher standard of living than South Africa.
Cebrious Arcane;1501475 said:You misunderstood what I said. People immigrate in an attempt to find a better way of life.
Cebrious Arcane;1501475 said:Blacks didn't immigrate from black states. People did. From neighboring states.
Cebrious Arcane;1501475 said:Like some Native Americans there are Aborigines that, in an attempt to assimilate into a society that goes against their family's culture succumb to vices that plague even your beloved Whites.
Cebrious Arcane;1501475 said:Dare I say "source" again? Yes, I do. Source?
Cebrious Arcane;1501475 said:The tribal Aborigines roam in the lands uninhabitable and undeveloped by the Australian people.
Cebrious Arcane;1501475 said:You judged the people that lived in sub-Saharan Africa by implying their culture would be worse off without the European influence.
Cebrious Arcane;1501475 said:I did much more than that, and here I am again, enjoy.
Cebrious Arcane;1501475 said:You being a racist has nothing to do with South Africa's crime rate; as I've detailed above. Have a nice day.
No, I didn't. I said "Blacks" did, using the quotes to indicate I was using your word. It's easy to see why fonis gave up trying to talk to you. You have no reading comprehension and are a bundle of biases and insecurities.Arend said:Then stop bringing it up. You Said: "Blacks ended slavery."
They didn't need to ban slavery in nations where it never existed. It has nothing to do with skin tone. Get over it, you're totally wrong, stop trying to associate skin color with behavior, it doesn't work that way.Ego_Lost said:I said it was ridiculous. Why? Because it was White Western nations who were the first to ban slavery and write the ban into law. Black countries still practice slavery, and it is more widespread now than it was 500 years ago.
No, I've pointed it out many times. Go back and reread. You're absurd.Arend said:You have yet to point out one thing I have said is racist.
Wrong again. Go back to history class and read about Lincoln specifically.Ego_Lost said:No, Lincoln wanted to hold the union together which is why his declaration freed only slaves in the Confederacy.
You're talking to me. No one else, so addressing me in the third person is moot. It's not slander. You assign race and degrade a people because of the color of their skin. Show me where in history it is said that Lincoln could care less about African Americans. You're a joke and your attempts at derogation are juvenile. Have you even read the Emancipation Proclamation? Wow... just wow...Ego_Lost said:You said: "Abraham Lincoln had love for his fellow man and enacted the Emancipation Proclamation..."
Lincoln could care less about African-Americans, the only one here is with astounding ignorance is YOU, Mr. Cebrious Arcane who simply slanders someone a racist and writes "Source?" because of his lack of knowledge.
Source? Hahahaha, you're so unbelievably biased I almost can't take it. Almost. I said Lincoln enacted the Emancipation Proclamation, I didn't say he was not victim of the same stereotypes and prejudices that he was taught and have somehow persisted to your lineage.Arend said:In fact, on September 18th 1858, during a debate with Stephen Douglas, Lincoln opened by saying: "While I was at the hotel to-day, an elderly gentleman called upon me to know whether I was really in favor of producing a perfect equality between the negroes and white people. While I had not proposed to myself on this occasion to say much on that subject, yet as the question was asked me I thought I would occupy perhaps five minutes in saying something in regard to it. I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races, [applause]-that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality"
You have something against Muslims? Malcolm X was much more than just another believer in Islam. If you want to talk religion, hop into the other thread. Malcolm X fought for equality and just like followers of George W Bush, some people take his words and find their own meaning and justifications for their own prejudices.Arend said:You are speaking of Nation of Islam spokesperson, Malcolm X, correct?
I think capitalizing wrong made it more convincing. Oh wait, no it didn't, because you're still a racist. You can keep saying I'm wrong but I'll show you why you're wrong. It's up to you to open your eyes and realize it.Arend said:Yes, you are WRONG. You said: "Blacks ended slavery..." one of the stupidest statements I've ever read. Not only as if because you just wrote below that the term "Black" is "racist" (an equally stupid statement from an equally stupid person).
Well, the HDI disagrees with your statements. So you agree that you're wrong? Interesting.Arend said:I judge success by the overall quality of life based on the U.N Human Development Index which gauges several factors to determine a nation's standard of living.
Have you ever been out of country? This is just getting obscene. I'm starting to feel low for even justifying your comments with a response.Arend said:Not going to happen. Outside of the United States, Canada, Western Europe, Australia you do not see "diversity."
Um... Wow. Why don't you go ahead and enlighten me as to why that would be a worse world than it is now, then after you've typed the paragraph, print it, and slap yourself in the face with the paper. Maybe then you'll realize you're a racist.Arend said:So, in 100 years when the U.K is Muslim, and the U.S has a Mexican majority; the Sub-Sahara will still be almost entirely Black African as Asia will be almost entirely Asian.
The gun is a reference to the support you asked about. I haven't brought slavery up, I responded to you bringing it up. Easy killer, this will all be over soon.Arend said:The gun does not kill, the person using it does. If slavery is a moot point, stop bringing it up.
If you view societies that way, stop associating societal behavior with skin color and race, and you will cease to be a racist.Arend said:I tend to view societies which believe favorably of slavery and the enslavement of man as primitive and disgusting. Perhaps you do not think so, but I do mr Celbrious Arcane.
I have too. The Singapore lifestyle is not equal to the western lifestyle and I don't understand how you could have observed it as such. It's close, sure. They're a well developed and successful port, but equal? No. Was your stay on a military base?Arend said:Yes.
Personal experience. If you were asking about the population breakdown you can find an example you'll trusthere: Nation Master Singapore Immigration Statistics. The population is over 4 million. The immigrant population is just over 1 million. So the majority of the population is native.Arend said:I'll borrow your line here, "Source?"
Finishing last in your class isn't the same as finishing first. That's my point. It's up there, just not all the way up.Arend said:Because according to the U.N Human Development, Singapore does, in fact, rank with all the Western industrialized nations with a .907 which is four below Spain (an HDI higher than .8 is "high development).
Did I say colonization destroyed Africa? Nope, sure didn't. I said you're a racist and that colonization did nothing for the continent except leech a profit from it.Arend said:So what? The point here that you are, attempting, to argue is that colonization destroyed Africa, I simply stated Africa's problems cannot be entirely blamed on colonization. A case-in-point is Singapore.
Hahahaha... sad, sad, sad. I hear Sylvan Learning Center offers tutoring on reading comprehension.Arend said:Foot in mouth.
In this sense I suppose we define slavery differently. Japanese Internment Camps are another great example of racism against the Asian community in America.Arend said:There was absolutely no slave labor of the Asian immigrants in the United States to build railroads; nor were any forced to come to the United States.
Thus preventing the free and open immigration this country was founded upon. Your example furthers my point, not yours. Thanks though.Arend said:In fact, the U.S enacted quotas until the 1965 immigration act for those outside Western Europe to maintain the current ethnic make-up of the nation.
Call me an idiot, and I'll still be back tomorrow. Your judgement only betrays your ignorance. As I said, "model minority" is a racist term and I would never use it even if I had heard it before now.Arend said:You have never heard the term "model minority" because you're an idiot. You continue to say "Source?" at even the most basic of knowledge.
Don't worry about it, I believe you. Yes. Yes they were. They supported a term that reinforced the stereotype of a race. I don't place blame. I don't judge them. It's just how it was at the time and I'm sure their intentions were good.Arend said:I guess the people who authored this 1984 Newsweek are a huge bunch of racists and klan leaders. http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en/d/dd/Mmodel.jpg (I couldn't dig up the article, I'm going to dive into the academic database later when I have more time).
I do know that and it is dependent exclusively on the organizations that pursue equal rights for the communities that do have those benefits, for example, the NAACP. Fighting for equal rights is admirable. Fighting for racially equal rights is racist. Imagine the changes that could have been accomplished if the NAACP was an organization for all people in need.Arend said:Furthermore, and you may not know this, Asian-Americans do not qualify for many of the same benefits that Blacks and Hispanics do when it comes to things such as college admissions in the U.S.
Making distinctions between human beings is racist. That is my whole point. It has nothing to do with philosophy or semantics. You are a racist if you define persons by the color of their skin, physical attributes, and where their ancestors originated. I'm not "White-hating". I make no distinction between a person with light skin or dark skin and have no need to judge based on appearance and ancestry. Apparently you have an us and them mentality and my non-acceptance of your mentality causes your to pass judgement.Arend said:This is an internet discussion forum, not a movement for your philosophical beliefs. You're arguing semantics, White and Black, much like Asian, are univerisally used terms to describe a race.
Some day I will and my views will have nothing to do with skin color, like they don't now. Go to the ghetto of Detroit on a Friday night. Get spit at by other people and have them ask "Who you with?! Who you with?!" then when you say, "I'm just going home man, no problem." You move on and they leave you alone. There are racists everywhere, but racism doesn't have to apply to everyone.Arend said:It's well known worldwide that South Africa is amongst the world's leader in violent crime; as seen from the preponderance's of gated communities, armed response forces, etc etc.
As someone who does not see race, you should take a visit over there. I have.
Refusal to believe is a strong indication of unjust bias.Arend said:I refuse to believe poverty breeds senseless and incredibly violent crimes such as rape.
As people we apply labels to define our world. I label you a racist because you judge and make distinctions based on race.Arend said:I'm done listening to your this and that is "racist" crap, Either respond to my points without that nonsense. It's irritating.
Arend said:No, I did not misread you. You wrote: "Your racist assumptions are getting boring. I'll wait for your attempt at proof."
Why's that? If there is more money, there is a higher standard of living. Like Mexicans immigrating into the U.S.; it has nothing to do with their skin color.Arend said:Yes, Black people, from neighboring states. For someone who is so into this "Evil Whitie" crap for "colonization," you certainly would think that people would not voluntarily immigrate to a White-ran SA.
Social influences build wants, wants coupled with unavailability lead to crime. Why do priests molest little boys? It's fucked up, sure, but it has nothing to do with race. Not one thing.Arend said:What exactly is your point? I fail to see how assimilating into a "White society", in this case Australia,would cause high rates of rape and alcoholism. But I gues you can continue to make excuses.
Incapable? No. Unmotivated to search? Yes. The link would have sufficed and my point still stands. "Source?" is a good way to keep people that talk out of their ass in check.Arend said:Sure thing, as you seem incapable to even find the easiest of information.
Nope, because he was talking about a specific group of people. And it had nothing to do with race. Returning again to my point. Perhaps if I write it after every one of your quotes it will start to sink in: Passing judgement based on race is racist. Making distinctions based on physical characteristics and lineage is racist.Arend said:What a huge racist Mr. Howard must be.
So?Arend said:Doesn't surprise me there, I'm sure they've been doing just that, roaming, for thousands of years.
Ah yes, but your entire arguement to enforce these points was based on skin color. That's why I called you a racist, and still do.Arend said:Yeah, I did. Why? Because in areas untouched by outside influence they still practice the enslavement of man, female mutilation, and other fun activities.
And quite frankly, colonization also brought written language and thousands of years of law and technology.
Your use of the word liberal is based on political affiliation. Look up the word liberal as it's defined literally and perhaps the label is applicable. Communism is a leap though, back that one up. Next you'll call me a terrorist, eh? Guess, guess, guess, judge, judge, judge. You silly goose, whatever you need to help you sleep at night. At least this conversation occupies time at work.Arend said:You did nothing except prove your ignorance as a Whitie-hating joker who simply stated "racist" and made several incorrect statements. You're the worst kind of liberal that exists, and I would not be surprised if you have communist leanings.
Criticism of Israel has nothing to do with prejudices against the Jewish community. Anti-Semitism applies to those prejudiced against believers in Jeudeism.Arend said:The term "Racist" in Western-White societies has basically turned into the Salem Witch Trials. It's like how the ADL uses the term "anti-semite" to stifle legitimate criticism of Israel.
If you're offended with being labeled a racist, stop behaving as one. Who are you addressing when you talk to me in third person? I'm not interested in stopping debate, I'm interested in you learning you're a racist and that you support racism.Arend said:It's almost as if people would rather branded a child molester than have the evil "R" word come out. Unfortunately for Cebrious, on the internet, the evil "R" word does not stop all debate in its track.
I'll try to respond this weekend but I more than likely won't be back until I'm at work again Monday. Have a nice time.

Did you even know about Darfur before the news told you about it? Would you even know about these statistics if they weren't selected and fed to you? There are huge events and statistics and dates and times and opinions we will never know about, so arguing over one color in a spectrum is moronic.

Strike a nerve? Here ya go: :tissue:.Arend said:No, idiot.
Yup, I guess I did strike a nerve. I'm from Detroit, so I guess your assumption doesn't apply.Arend said:TEH RACIST URN HIM STIFFLE ALL LEGITMATE DISCUSSION ITS TEWH RACIST (usually clamored by some ultra-liberal type from his 90% White suburban community far away from "diverse" areas, whether they be in Australia, the U.S, Canada or Western Europe -- where millions of people outside the ethnic group are pouring in even when nobody wants it).
Here, allow me to use some capitalization for emphasis: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Become a minority in their own countries... wow... just wow. You're pathetic. They are not "White" countries. What the fuck man? If you literally can't see the racism inherent in my above quote of you then there is no hope. You're brainwashed beyond repair.Arend said:Are you really this stupid? How is it beneficial for Whites to become minorities in their own countries while Asia, Africa, the Mid East, etc are less diverse than ever before?
See above. You need serious help. Yes, I definitely could. Because leadership is not dependent on race, it's dependent on the personal qualities of the individual. For fucks sake, I'm hoping this is some kind of joke. You're awful.Arend said:Can you actually see Europe better with a Muslim majority? Or the U.S with a Mexican majority?
The "fact", since you use that word so loosely, is that free countries are not owned by anyone and especially are not owned by a race. Sorry, strike nine, three innings later and you're still a racist.Arend said:The fact is, Whites are voluntarily handing over their countries to, often hostile, peoples in the name of "diversity" (which I don't remember seeing anyone ask for -- and cheap labor) and it's bringing in huge increases in rape, crime, poverty, violence, etc.
You are pathetic. It's not even funny anymore. You fucking racist.Arend said:The fact that someone makes the suggestion "how would it be worse" boggles the imagination when you see the ghettos springing up from Madrid to Paris to Berlin to Malmo, Sweden. Or how entire territories of the U.S are being transformed into mini-Tijuanas in the name of cheap labor.
As a student of psychology I know that there is no definitive proof to associate higher levels of testosterone with higher levels of aggression. That being said, testosterone is not dependent on race. So, racist, stop trying to associate violence with skin color. You can't. You're wrong on both counts.Arend said:You do know higher testosterones leads to higher aggressiveness? And you do know that it varies in different populations?
University life is not equal to street life. My point still stands.Arend said:No, I studied a semester there.
So? Claiming "All Hail Whitey" brought the wheel is pretty funny, but your judgement is self-centered. You are in no place to judge any culture as good or bad other than your own. None whatsoever because you are outside of their systems, outside of their beliefs, outside of their ideals, and are thusly outside of everything their culture represents. So you have no bearing on anything about anything other than your ridiculously biased opinion.Arend said:Nothing but leech a profit? How about bringing electricity, written language, a wheel, cars, advanced buildings, thousands of years of invention and education?
Anyone that wanted to come to America in the beginning could and did so they would get out of Europe. Go hit the history books. Take a look at the gift we received from the French, after over 100 years of independence, they still knew what America stood for, "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-lost to me."Arend said:This country was never founded on "free and open immigration" and I don't think I ever read it once in early documents. The 1965 immigration act was lobbied for by the 'usual suspects'
Why don't you reread what I wrote before your quote. I grew up in downtown Detroit. So I'm aware of racism and the distinction some people make based on skin color. It is not applicable. If others are racist towards me, that's their problem. I can give you examples all day, but you don't read anything I say. You just gloss over it looking for an opportunity to try and appear intelligent, but instead come off as just another racist that can Wiki.Arend said:I'd like to put this theory to the test; go live in a Lebanese area of Australia.
That's a gross assumption. Don't lump me in with you and your racist brethren.Arend said:So does everyone, whether they realize it subconsciously or not.
That's an assumption based on your racism. You can't predict the future, or any possible future. This is sad.Arend said:So the continent would be absolutely nothing if the English never arrived; just a barren wasteland.
Um, no they wouldn't. The ADL "Fighting Anti-Semitism, Bigotry and Extremism". Not "Fighting Israel-bashers". Wrong again.Arend said:The ADL would disagree.
Stop being concerned with those reading this and start being concerned with your racist state of mind.Arend said:Because for those reading it is often needed to see the previous statement, the quote, and then my second reply.
Even more assumptions based on racism. You truly are pathetic. Seek counseling. You may not know it but there are many skilled and qualified men and women in the field of psychology of all skin tones. Seek one out. Soon.Arend said:Even the most ardant U.S liberal, with all their "racist this" and "racist that" would not give up living in their 90% White "Diverse" suburban community and experience "diversity" in Compton, Memphis or Newark.
