It's the mainstay of the conservative party.

Why in the world would you think that simply stating a demographic fact is "racist"?

those are 2.

Noticing criminality makes one a "supremacist"..ok...got it.

the second part is a strawman. No one said it represents any group as "a whole"...however..deflect all you want, negroes commit over HALF of ALL violent crime in the u.s.

So I guess that makes everyone who knows this fact a "supremacist", right?

Why do people focus on non-whites in the UK? No one was focused on non-whites when the English were in claiming India, china, africa, and South America...

England made these peoples thier subjects...now it's the subjects fault the want to live in the home land?

Are they subjects or not?

"Negroes"? Isn't that a bit dated?

The world is already dominated by non-whites, but most of them are in the Third World which is rising up to take their rightful places as developed countries. Far from being scared of the trend, I actually welcome it. Whites will be around in large numbers for at least the next century, and I have confidence in their ability to succeed on a level playing field.

If you had problems understanding my post, I can't help you. How can I help you understand what I've already [pretty basically] explained.

facts are not the problem...it is the making unsupported pronouncements and confused conclusions of the facts.

thats ok..I defend your right to hate anyone...I support your constitutional rights.

That is one part of it. One problem I have is people taking "facts" and "statistics" and using them to justify their own hatred of people of a certain race. I look at statistics, and then I look behind those statistics to see what is driving those statistics. Someone might say "Blacks commit so many murders". However, this is what I will do. I will look behind those statistics and ask "what is driving that statistic"? Which segment of the Black population are the most murders occurring? What are the circumstances behind those murders? Who is involved? What is the murder/victim relationship? Those questions ought to be asked because if one wants to solve problems and find solutions, one should ask those problems.

Tell that to the folks in here that call all white Americans opposed to illegal immigration and amnesty, white supremists. Pot, kettle, black.

Exactly. Some people are love to concentrate on skin color too much and just stop there. They think blacks murder each other a lot because they are black
