Science What is a racist?

Well a few that I know are concerned their Islands are over populated now. As we rapidly track on to 600 million folks is this country, I fear we do not know what we are doing either.

 

This reminds me of an incident several years back when the VA clinic was still in Bandon. I was there giving up some blood for tests. The nurse doing the task was a huge black fella, and I notice he was very good at the task, painless really and I liked his deftness. I complemented him for such, and asked him if he lived around here?
He said, Oh no! I drive from Eugene.

His intense no, sort of took me back a bit
So I asked him, Why not? That is a heck of a drive everyday.

He said, There are no black people here, and my wife is afraid to move here.

I saw him no more. Too bad, the price of being a racist I guess.

The VA clinic was moved to North Bend not long after this, and the ham handed Pollack that draws blood there may stick you three times or so before the tube gets wet.

 

I know. It may not be long before there are more of them living on the Islands controlled by Russia than in Japan.

 

The US has 327.16 million people....Taiwan by example has 23 million and is 3 times the size of the Big Island in Hawaii...same population as Australia or I believe Canada.

 

Yes but we grow perhaps more rapidly than most.
Right now Japan has about 39% of the US population but only 1/26th the land. Heck they are only 15 million less than Russia which has a land mass of nearly twice the US. Probably not a country that needs to take in folks.

 

You've never been to India or Brazil I take it

 

Ha! Room they have. I live there one year, with legal papers too. After one winter I moved. I left when it was 58 below zero and on the radio, I heard there was a cold front moving down from Northern Alaska.

 

Fear of unwarranted persecution and oppression is real.

So much so that the gentleman who was enriching your life with great device and care found what they believed was a safer place to work.

 

I have, Delhi and Calcutta. I have no wish to return.

 

Probably so. I don't much care for the place. Too damn hot in the summer along with other flaws.

 

The biggest trick the devil played was letting white people believe that racism was only the collective actions of individual racists, rather than also being a symptom of systems that benefit white people over non-white people, regardless of intentionality.

 

The little ditty under your Avatar and handle is quite fitting.

 

That's a pretty American view though....Somalia has one of the worst records of genocide on the planet and it's ongoing....tribal systems of one people benefiting over another....and this is between non white tribes...it's no trick, it's a human problem..and yes...white domination of indigenous peoples is as guilty as any but it's not exclusive to whites only. These issues need perspective. I've cited examples of oppression and dominations on a global scale throughout history and in my view...all humans have these atrocities in their history and some still do. Romans feeding slaves to the lions for entertainment was pretty fucking horrible

 

wow...great comments!

 

That doesn't help the dialogue much Marzy

 

I live in America, therefore I concern myself with American Racism.

 

I think this thread is valuable as a forum for gaining a deeper understanding to an ongoing problem ...make the world great again
