You're completely correct Regina. The bigger picture of it is that one person is black and the other person is white, and they like each other. Seeing the two in harmony is what gets some people a little on the frustrated side.
It still does happen. I just think when someone targets an IR family opposed to a black family that is 9 times of of 10 it's b/c they are pissed about the whole IR. I seen some other past news reports where in one town 3 cross burnings had happened on the lawn of IRs. Another one that talked about cross burning happened on the lawn of an apartment with one IR family on top level and another on the bottom. They lived in diverse neighborhood. So I think when talking about IR you have to consideration that they are typically targeted specifically for being in an IR. Yes I did. IR's upset alot of people.
It sure does. My x husband is one of those. I never knew he had any sort of issue with black people. He never said anything negative, he had guys he hung out with that were black. But then years after we had split up we were still friends. When I started dating BM he didn't want to be friends with me anymore. At the time I was helping him and as girlfriend who were homeless. All these years later it's still the same. He looks at me with disgust. Owell. That's his sickness.

I didn't say you specifically have a fear, I just made a comparison between two sets of White racialist thought. This wikipedia entry is sufficient. Racialism is an emphasis on race or racial considerations.[1] Currently, racialism entails a belief in the existence and significance of racial categories, but not necessarily that any absolute hierarchy between the races, has been demonstrated by a rigorous and comprehensive scientific process. Racialists usually reject some claims of racial superiority (such as "racial supremacy"), but may explicitly or implicitly subscribe to others, such as that races have acted in morally superior or inferior ways, at least in certain instances or periods of history. Many of those "mutations" took place among people in Africa. Epicanthal folds, Blond hair, white skin can be found in African people. There are many reasons why a certain trait or a given phenotype is present among a group. This is racialist statement which presumes definable traits as belonging to this or that race. You have to qualify "white phenotype". People we currently think of as White have various phenotypes. "White people" have curly hair and/or full lips without recent African Ancestry and those with recent African Ancestry can not have those features. 1/16 or more likely 1/32 might not even have SSA present in any DNA test or ancestry mapping. There is no such thing as race, Regina, or to put it this way, the categories that you call race have no biological reality. If you want to deal with a racial reality then you need to properly interrogate and categorize the vast human biodiversity based on a number of genetic and social factors. The Negroid, Caucasoid, Mongoloid person that was deemed race in the old encyclopedia doesn't cut it anymore, nor does the U.S census (Hispanic is not a race). Race as a scientific construct is untenable, you are applying a genetic reality onto socially constructed persons as if those constructs fit within biological definable and determinable traits. If you want to see the vast categories of sub races discussed then go to http://www.forumbiodiversity.com/ where they discuss race and subrace. Again, I believe in differences that can be categorized, I however do not apply those scientific theories onto our socially constructed notions of race. (that's for gz/unchosen) Race, or the operative function of similar definable social groups will continue to exist no matter genetic makeup or phenotype imo. Our categorical races are not transhistorical, they are largely not even applicable outside of the U.S. I don't care about changing phenotypes or racial preservation. The "Black race" in the U.S has been relegated as the permanent underclass. Hypodescent, as often discussed here, has been one of the ways to do this. I don't want any group, or whatever group gets classified as black, to be the permanent underclass whereby everyone else can measure their success in this meritocracy in relation to the abject condition of Black people. It is filled with hyperbole and certainly not a good argument for my belief in the relegation of a permanent underclass needed to maintain the false notion of social mobility within this oligarchy. To that point though, Spaniards and Italians (not even bothering with new world Whites in Latin America) have shown a distinctive "response" to the mention of anything African, especially if it is concerning their ancestry.
Good find, IB. The webmaster should include condemning Plagiarism within the site's policies. It makes the person that commits the act look bad.
I think people use racial differences as a way to do as such just as they always used gender to do as such and today sexual orientation but that is the fault of those that use such differences to do such harm. I don't think that makes their being differences or noting such differences as the problem. It's the people that is the problem. And they are always going to find one reason or another to treat other as less than. If you ever study European history this has been going on forever. I don't know if it's human nature or what but it looks at though too many (not all) or always going to find some reason to set themselves apart and use that as means of attack.
you was way off in what she was trying to say. LOL...you are sooooo smart. damn...you do need to bounce.
What are you talking about? That quote you have of mine was not trying to explain what she was saying. I understood her. My explanation was to show the motivation for her saying it does not comport with her profile.
Good stuff Regina, Are they not merely conforming those distinctive findings into categories? (22 Haplogroups, 3 or 4 races) Which is not a problem in of itself? But if you believe this? How many race of Humans are there? and what are those races? The differences that exists among them, are they physical and/or cognitive. If so, what are the implications of that reality within society? This to me is the obvious questions that arise when having even a sliver a racialist position. Good stuff, the theories of sexual selection or lack of fish diet in favor of Grain mixed with lack Vitamin D and so on are all interesting.... my point was that not all biodiversity is "Out of Africa", or the aforementioned type found in Europeans. As with "aborigines" having blond hair and such.
actually it was never called black, just that someone isnt very educated who wrote the article and the black women are very contradictory in that they dont want brothas going out with ww but they see the ww as black now? doesnt jive, hi all im graham , just came in, love this site
Very interesting story. Yet another example of the level of stupidity to which the human species stoops.
