Prussian Blue (Part Deux)



Wouldn't it be great if they grew up to become inter-racial porn stars?

I have to say, I have no problem with people who are obsessed on preserving the "purity" of the white race as long as there are no violent or coercive or bullying undertones. I mean, most white girls I know wouldn't date a non-white person as it is. Does that make it racism? Not really, I mean, you can't govern preference. Also, a lot of black people (women especially) frown on white women 'stealing [their] men'. It's fear of losing out on what they view as their entitlement.

In a lot of cases, it's also a need for familiarity. Egyptian parents want their kids to marry other Egyptians. And it's not because they want corn-coloured kids. It's because they're afraid of not being able to 'understand' their son or daughter's suitors. Which can prevent them from continuing to exert an influence on their kids' lives, thereby destroying the fabric of family, as Egyptians see it. So the racial component doesn't factor here at all.

I have to say, I've never seen racism anywhere else in the world, with the intensity that it has here in the United States. It's huge over here and is present in all parts of daily life. Which, naturally enough, has led the efforts to combat it to become huge. And, in some cases, completely over the top.

I mean, reparations? Should every group of people who's ever been wronged over the course of history ask for reparations? As for affirmative action, I happen to agree with it but believe it should have been installed as a temporary measure, maybe for a period of 25 or 30 years.

Before I get the rebuttal mail, the crime here is hate, not preference. I have no problem if you prefer something...just don't bully or hurt anyone who doesn't share that something.
