Why don't you just call him for what he is, and with that I mean not the N word, but a racist? Might light up a light somewhere up there with him.

What's "reverse" racism btw? I mean either you're a racist or you're not, so reverse racism would be not being racist or what? I don't know, and I'll probably make a fool of myself now, but it seems to me people who use this term somehow seem to think only white people can be racist (at least judging by the way it was used here) or that black people can't be just called racist, but because whites feel it's somehow "payback" it's reverse racism when black people are racist? I know it's just semantics but really calling something "reverse racism" is nonsensical. Sounds like someone trying to be politcal correct, but having not quite grasped the concept of PC a.k.a. PC gone mad.

I think you should read the post above the one you quoted for starters. That's what he was trying to prove.

Really?
Who are these 'others'?

I won't quote your whole post as it's long, but I will address it. The first problem is, you don't live in America. I'm not dismissing you with that, I'm just trying to say that some things are actually nation-centric, and we have to deal with that. As I pointed out in my story about the woman doctor, if we created a National Orginization of Men, there would be a huge outcry. If there was a National Association for the Advancement of White People, the whole country would explode.

Fatty is right: we have been living in a white millenium, or in our country at least a white couple of centuries. I'm all for 'Colored', Women's and Gay organizations. Everybody needs a place where he or she feels welcome. But the fact remains that things are out-of-balance when one group feels that they can't be an '-ist' because of who they are, and another group can't express themselves without becoming an '-ist' in the eyes of everybody else.

the national association of white people would be perfectly acceptable in a country
where white people where in a minority.
No one accuses the white peoples association of Chad of being racist!

I think that's an obfuscation, but you could be right, so unlike some I won't argue with it. But I think the point still stands: some get away with what others can't, and while I couldn't care less about 'white' anything, we still have the problem that the divide is kept open partly by people who claim they're trying to close it.

Equality isn't where everyone can justly do what everyone else can do, even if their
circumstances are very different.
Even so, it is certainly true that, whether justly of unjustly so, doing something that
would be morally questionable if someone in different circumstances did the same isn't
going to promote unity.

No, I don't, but those photos aren't exactly proof of anything except that you can't tell the racial backgrounds of people strictly from their appearance in a photo.

You mean this one?

You have some statistics to back that up?
or this one?

White racists totally forget that most of the things they see as "universal" are actually made by and for white people, and then they cry murder when something by and for black (or whatever) people is created.
You post is rather inconclusive, for starters.
That's like saying yes when asked if you want sugar or salt on your grits.

I m sure all the Asians in the pictures will be thrilled to know that they just lost their ethnic background. ;)

Calling it a "white millennium" serves no other purpose than to accentuate and perpetuate racial separatism. If man is ever going to get beyond making social divisions based upon race we must stop using such terms.
