(31,823 posts)As did J17 and nomore08 - I'm of the mindset that I'm dealing with a child on that one - he's actually very very young. Remember that. He doesn't have the life experience that enables him to see things as they are. This isn't true of every young person. Remember THAT also.
A wise fool will always lecture to the wrong people.
If he remains liberal/progressive - one day he will live to regret his words.
Or - perhaps his true nature will reveal itself. Who knows?
Just remember - he doesn't have the life experience and EXPOSURE to all the segments of America that he wants to preach AT and ABOUT. .

I'm happy the scientific community conducts these kinds of studies.

(186 posts)I heard a dumbshit call one of my Sirius Left shows today, white moron, saying how racist BLACK people can be because when he was 4 yrs old a 12 yr old BLACK kid held a knife to his throat and called him cracker.
Well, first that probably didnt happen, and even if it did this dumb fuck is a perfect example of why we MUST correct people when they claim BLACK Americans can be racists, LATINO Americans can be racist, MUSLIM Americans can be racist.
NO, they CANT.
They can exhibit hate and bigotry the way a racist does, but they canNOT be racist as they are NOT the race with the power.
Racism is a white only problem, and cant be fixed until we admit that ONLY whites where whites are the majority and control the institutions can be racist.
