dude, that's a dangerous stereotype....I'm all for civil rights and equality but don't tell me what I've bought into ....you haven't walked in my shoes...irish have had culture wars for hundreds of years...orange and green...there's plenty of separation between sub cultures all over...I've lived a lot of my life being the only Caucasian in the neighborhood.....if we're to get past these stereotypes, we all need to get past them. Promoting the idea of across the board racism by ethnicity is not helping evolve from color coding....and I'm part native American..as are many of us....I've spent my life bucking those racial divides and so have many americans....don't need to compare either.....humans have these high intellectual ideas but emotionally, we're not that far along yet.
Refusing to acknowledge what has happened to get where we are is a mistake. No one is promoting anything. Aswer this: Why are they all considered white now? They weren't when they came over... They were hated when they first got here...
And no one's telling you what you bought into. Buuuut... Do you call yourself white? Why? I used to call myself Black but no longer. I'm transitioning out of that.
dviss.....you are calling me white.....I consider myself a mutt...Snoop Dog is more Native American than African...Charles Barkley is more white than African American....we're all fucking mutts...time to act like it
color is color....my color actually changes with the season....it's just something we all need to move on from instead of embrace...I said....these stereotypes perpetuate segregation, not dissolve it.
Sure. Political double speak, just like the Australian "we'd totally take all these refugees but we just CAN'T because we don't want people to drown..blah blah blah" Trudeau wants to retain power so he's going to try and walk a fine line http://www.reuters.com/article/us-c...surge-in-asylum-seekers-sources-idUSKCN1B32CO
My point is, at some point the Irish, Italians etc, decided it was OK to be called white. Just like at some point we decided black was the proper term. Even more so than African American. You and I didn't decide it.
There's a good mix of Democrats and Republicans who will pass a Bill. If not, Democrats are worse than anything Trump has done regarding immigrants. There are enough Republicans to make it a pretty big number of "for" votes.
I'm the whitest mother fucker here that isn't an Albino. That matters to me immensely. Why? Because I have to stay out of the sun. I live where it is 115 in the summer. I literally have to be careful not to stand in the parking lot looking at a car I'm going to fix for more than a minute Anyone who cares what anyone has as a built-in sunscreen more than what they have to say for themselves as a person is a backwards idiot. I've always loved Charles Barkley whether I agreed with what he says or not. Now I find out he's more white. People seem for some reason to have turned my skin color into a culture. It ain't. People also seem to think there is some black culture that you have to follow the rules to fit in with. See Steve Harvey getting attacked over meeting with Trump. If that's true it seems ridiculous to me. That certainly isn't up to me. If people of color (that's the right term as of now right?) want to have their own groups knock yourselves out.
great invention used in Asia where summers are brutal...it's called an umbrella...people in the tropics use them as shade more than to keep rain away
I think I'm a mutt. Don't even care enough to do a ancestry check. My grandma married an American Indian guy in the late 1940s I think. Then she got divorced and married my grandpa. I just googled his last name and it said .....The name first arose amongst the Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain.... So, I'm probably descended from Monsters.
