Because some people are still pleaged with ignorance, that's all...

What really gets me is that most white men really hate it when they see black men with beautiful white women. But if they were ugly, it would be ok.

I never got that. I'm attracted to beautiful white women.

Sir, do you have a problem if you see a black man with a beautiful white woman?

Me too. And I'm white. And kind of ugly.

So what's your point?

No point. These are the rumors I've heard form other people.

Which is what I'm going to do, with a little assistance from my cousins and friends.

I don't think thats really all that true, maybe years ago but i don't think so much today. Maybe we can start an affirmative dating bill.

Why is it only White and formally White countries forcefully 'intergrating' themselves by destroying their race in favor of some sort of falsehood of multiculturalism?

Do we see this being enacted in Asia (where 2/3rds of the world lives), Africa and elsewhere?

" At least if society is racially mixed people will seek different ways to differentiate themselves from someone else."

Is there anything wrong with a racially homogeneous society? (ie: Those which exist all over Asia, Africa, etc but are disappearing across Europe).

It's been shown that people are more generous and are more welcoming of socialist-type policies when the main benificators of such policies are people that are 'more like them.'

So I guess it depends on the character of the individual; if they feel themselves inferior or insecure whenever they are part of a minority.
So I don't think that race really is the problem but that it is more being part of a minority.
LOL!
The Indo's, eh?


My reply to the original question:

Yes.
