Perhaps Plasmodium meant it as a compliment. Making an observation is NOT racist. It is merely making an observation. Just like making the following observation is NOT racist. It is merely verbalizing an observation: "My oh my; quite a few NBA players appear to be descended from people born on the African continent, enslaved there by other Africans, and sold by those other Africans to people who transported them throughout the world including a small minority of the total to the British colonies in the new world. " But Plasmodium's observation is demonstrably wrong. Mao (kind of non-European) was very brutal and effective at killing. Japs (defined as the imperial killing machine of the 1930s and 1940s, not the fun loving peaceniks now occupying the archipeligo of the Rising Sun) were very brutal and effective at killilng during the Rape of Nanking. Cambodians were extremely good at it in the killing fields of the Khmer Rouge. Mongols seemed to have some skills in this area. Are ethnic Russians european? Maybe but Stalin was Georgian which is very difficult to claim to be european and he was a pretty good brutal and effective killer. So the conclusion about Euros being especially brutal, effective, and frequent killers is NOT racist but at least debatable if not outright wrong.

Another take along the same lines: “Thank God My Granddaddy Got on that Boat” FEBRUARY 9, 2018 BY DEBBIE YOUNG With his customary cheekiness, Muhammad Ali responded to the reporter inquiring about his thoughts on Africa after his Rumble in the Jungle boxing match. It was 1974. Ali had just returned to the U.S. from Zaire, where he had beaten the previously undefeated world heavyweight-champ George Foreman. It was not for nothing that Ali thanked God that his “granddaddy got on that boat,” Pedro Gonzalez tells readers of American Greatness. Citing Harvard sociologist Orlando Patterson, Gonzalez writes: [America] is now the least racist white-majority society in the world; has a better record of legal protections of minorities than any other society, white or black; offers more opportunities to a greater number of black persons than any other society, including all of those of Africa.

Yeah, it does kind of sound like they were at a trade school. The fact that it was for several generations and against their will does seem to tip the Cost/Benefit equation waaayyyy in one direction so much that "benefit" is an unfortunate characterization.

Wet team wrestling. There is a ball and net nearby but those are to see if you can be distracted from the wrestling. PSU red shirt and extra wrestlers win this going away between attending open meets in their spare time.

Authoritarianism is someone else suggesting to me to do something that I don't want to do. Even if they don't have the ability or intention of using force to compel me. Or stating their opinion that I disagree with anywhere, anytime, in anyway, at all. Me or people who think like me telling other people what to do even if they don't want to do it and enforcing it under the threat of loss of livelihood, property, freedom, and life itself is . . . Democracy. Anyone who challenges this definition of authortarianism is an anti-democratic authoritarian. Q.E.D. and Ipso Facto. Therefore, absolutely no contradiction between the two statements made on two different threads. Channeling my inner Humpty Dumpty and Ban here.

They should teach their children about the past In the context of the past. Now we may not do A, B, or C due to the evolution of thought, morality, balance of power, developed constitutional and legal structures, etc. But people who practiced the norms of their time were not inherently evil and should not be judged by the norms of today. Were societies who practiced cannibalism inherently evil? Or virgin sacrifice to appease the gods? Or rain dances to influence global warming in order to raise sea levels via increased precipitation? No. Chronological snobbery is the basest and simplest of the types of intellectual laziness but does make one feel smug, superior, and warm all over. When eating animal based proteins and keeping animals in captivity for companionship become the progressive crusades in the near future then our Messiah Barack Obama will have all the roads and schools bearing his name re-branded because he ate hamburgers and had a pet cat. Because, you know, it is evil and how could he?

The original post to which I was replying did not essentialize Indians within the relative roles of our country. There are many premises in this question. "are we poorly educated" Yes. Definitely. But not for the reason it seems you are implying. Human migrations have happened since . . . wait for it . . . there have been humans. Indians, no less than any other set of humans, migrated. And, when they came across other humans in their way they gave options to those other humans: 1 - go away. 2 - merge with us. 3 - die or kill us to keep your land. The Indians killed, tortured, raped, subjugated, enslaved, took land, pushed out, broke treaties etc. etc. with and to each other for the length and breadth of their history. They simply encountered a couple of forces which they could not overcome. European germs and European's ability to migrate, organize, and enforce their will through the clash of a stone age hunter-gatherer culture with an agricultural & pre-industrial one. Note that in MesoAmerica the clash was much different. The Indians there were agricultural and had huge political centers but still succumbed to Euro germs and Europeeps. There, however, the Indians chose more of an option 2 (merge) approach. It would be good to teach that history so that everyone can be better educated. Not to sugar coat anything. But also not to talk about "treatment" as if the Indians were children.

Was racist slavery or slavish racism the essentialler role? Don't forget the anti-semitic homophobic islamophobic misogynistic agoraphobic flat-earthing global-warming-denying misgendering which can be found in documents back to 1618. All essential building blocks without which no USA exists. Only once those essentially essentials are properly and with full fidelity incorporated into the identity of the youth of today can they possibly understand their responsibility to reject anything like the concepts of inherent rights endowed upon our creation (merging of two gametes into a distinct zygote), individual freedom, limited government, civic responsibility, etc. Isn't it strange that countries with much more slavery (longer duration, more slaves as a percentage of the population, no civil war to end it, etc.) than the USA did not become the USA? Wouldn't those countries have become even more USAish than the USA if slavery were the essentialist essential of all essential to our country become our country?

She's been homeless since the Maui-scale kitchen fire. I think she might be shacking up with Corn Pop. Sad, sad first family status.

Can't do chewables. With Chewables there is no permanent record nor Booster Visa Passport for use in tracking submissive compliance and restricting the PureBlood Control Group from participating in society, accessing surgeries, seeing loved ones, earning a living, breathing air, etc. Comply or Die cannot be enforced by chewables. Convenience be damned.

Appropriate for adult audiences. Not appropriate for pre-school through grade 12 libraries. Just like everything that was on the top shelf and hidden at the magazine/newspaper stand when I was a kid.

Or your health.

And regulation driving up the costs of production and COVID driven shutdowns driving many small businesses to close and supply chain disruptions. Money supply is a part of the problem but only a part of it.

Just like real life. People models look better than real life people. Model Whoppers look better than real life whoppers.

Whopper Inflation. Just like your money. The words on the paper/package say the same old whopper but you just don't get as much. The numbers and words on your money say the same old amounts but they just don't buy as much.

Bobbie D, I wrote Indict Trump with exclamation points. How much more law and order do you want me to advocate for? It is right there in my post. How can the people of Chicago feel safe with an unindicted Trump running around?

"Let's not demonize the car thieves. In order to eat this evening they have to steal the KIAs to go to Luis Vuitton to steal thousands of dollars of luxury non-needed goods to sell them online to have the money to pay for the gas to go to the store that closed up shop in the theives' neighborhood and moved out to where it is safe and steal bread for their families. Indict Trump!! Where is Kim Fox?!?" Babylon Bee Headline today.

En garde - you overgrown pocket watch!

9 posts in 4 minutes !!! I am completely outclassed. Idaho takes the potato.

I feared it was a topic using the word "Twinkies" as a slur. I was trying to place Twinkies in the constellation of normal words used as an insider insult which I do not know including Duece and 30 percenter. The fact that it is about actual Twinkies which I have eaten many times and never remember enjoying - even as a kid - is refreshing.

Constitutional rights (actually, rights come from God, not a piece of paper but I will stipulate the use of the term for this exchange) are not applicable when public safety and leftist ideology are involved. No principles of freedom apply if the deep state can make us panic enough and CNN can count every cough or smelly sniff of your toes as a national emergency. As horrible as it might be we must begin depriving others of any podiacal experience you might provide. Cause, you know, safety.

Because arm pit hair, bellybutton lint, beer guts, and toe jam are REAL dangers and they are just gross to the point of causing spontaneous gagging and wretching. Talk about protecting the public!!! Shirts and shoes (preferably close toed - flip flops are also gross beyond description in public) required. Actually, I just thought of a mandate I can support. To counter the pandemic of TOEVID - the gagging, wretching, and psychological damaging disease associated with having to see and hear others gross feet and experience their lack of respect for themselves and everyone around them. Close toed shoes (unless you have a nice pedicure) and at least a heel strap to prevent the flop noise required to protect yourself and others. . Let's vote, choose two of the following for your fellow public-spaces users not to wear: - Shirt - Shoes - Mask - Tin Foil Hat If you could make everyone where 2 of the 4 items which would it be? I know some nuts out there are going to prefer to make everyone wear tin foil hats and masks and let their stinky pits and feet have free rein. But it will be a decided minority.

And your just-as-effective tin foil hat to protect you from pesky gamma rays I am emitting. Masks and (un) vaxxes for thee but none for me, thank you. If you got 'em then you be "protected" so leave me ALONE. And if all of the covididian will just shut up about it then I promise not to speak the truth about it in range of your sensitive little ears and social medias which are unable to put up with facts. P.S. PureBlood sales are skyrocketing!!

Superlative breakdown. Thank you.

Adhering to the rule of law is not inclusive nor equitable because there is a diversity in the ways laws are respected. Equity mandates that although diversity of obeying laws may cause diversity in punishment for breaking the laws then instead of changing the diverse behavior the laws and punishments must be changed until Asian females are incarcerated at the same rate as law breaking individuals. We can either thug up the Asian females or stop punishing law breaking. Either is acceptable to the Equity crowd. It is easier to stop punishing law breakers than it is to induce Asian females to break laws. This is the decisive action that has been taken by the Equity police. Chicago declares a zero crime rate now that nothing there is illegal. Equity achieved. Now, on to that pesky global warming issue . . .
