This thread brings to mind a time when I was 17. A very caucasian, very alone runaway in a big city - in the very poor end of town, no less.
Mostly hispanic residents, a lot of gangs. Shops with Spanish as the primary language on the signs. Very foreign to someone like me, obviously. People I know may describe it as a "dangerous, bad area."
Everyone was actually very polite to me, when I ventured out for my basic needs.
Ironically, my one brush with danger wasn't with anyone of color, but with a white man in his 40s, who appeared as benign as a math teacher.
Creep chased me in his car for several blocks and tried to force me inside.
Nearly every female I know who's been victimized in some way like this more often than not, had such encounters with primarily white men.
I'm not saying racism on either side doesn't exist- when we lived in the south, my brother was actually beaten up in junior high, on his bus, by some African American boys who used their race as a reason to bully others. "Get out of that seat, white boy, you owe us." My brother made a remark about how his ancestors freed them. This led to a 3:1 fistfight, recorded by the camera on the bus. The African American principal did not suspend the 3 boys who initiated the fight, but he did suspend my brother from riding the bus for the remainder of the year "for making racist remarks." It was only until my mother threatened legal action that he rescinded.
I recall losing a white friend nearby my house there, when her mother found out we'd let the black kids down the street from us swim in our pool.
It can go both ways.
And the point is.. both are ignorant, and blatantly retarded. How this can still be a question in anyone's mind nowadays is baffling, to me.
I'd be interested in seeing well-documented/supported statistics that place the 'blame' all on non-white people.
We're all human.. what else is there? Why do you even need anything else?
It's pathetic that this is even an issue at all, for some people.
I understand wanting more benefits for the elderly in your country vs more funding going to immigrants, things like that. But that's got nothing to do with color. To assume so isn't going to really help your cause, it's just a terribly narrow, vapid way of examining or attempting to categorize things. It's an embarrassment to rational thought.
First of all, thank you for being civil.
You seem like a genuinely kind person, and I respect that.
It's just that even if I posted every study and piece of statistics out there, nobody would even read it.
The best bet is to make people angry enough to open their eyes and see what is in front of them.
What I am saying is that we are different. We are made for different lives, apart from each other.
The only thing that happens when you make societies multicultural/multiethnic is that you get conflict, always at someones' expense.
Why then, if not to hurt a specific or both groups, would anyone do such a thing?
I always was an issue, and it is now more actual than ever before.
We need segregation, a sea in between us would be nice, nothing but limited trade and intellectual contact for the betterment of our planet.
Either way, things are more of a slow-burning flame in the United States. You have always had problems.
Right now you're taking care of it with bread and games for the people (welfare and TV).
Plus a huge amount of suppression and white flight. You don't have forced integration like in some European countries, though.
Here, the problem is more recent, and it is abundantly clear.
For instance, the Norwegian police chief in Oslo went public with statistics saying that all assault rapes were committed by people of non-european origin.
Such statistics are of course illegal here in Sweden, because we don't have tens of thousands of immigrants...
We have a couple of million non-whites. In a small country of 7 million ethnic swedes.
Whites hardly do any crime except drunken brawling anymore, but that seldom hurts anyone bad.
I have followed crime on a forum with about 700 000 users, flashback.org, for years now.
The thing about that site is that they always publish the identity of the person convicted for something.
As soon as a violent crime of worse nature occurs, a thread will pop up about it.
The person convicted is almost always non-white.
Newspapers don't even go out with a description of the suspect anymore, because it is "racist".
Come on. Dig a bit. I know you're mild-mannered, kind and awesome...
But if something is seriously wrong, it is. And then it must be fixed.
