• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I'm currently reading a lot of statistics on education as I work on my teaching certificate and I find myself depressed that I'm Hispanic. Reading things like 50% of Hispanic 17 year olds write at a 13 year old white teens average skill level, knowing what a corrupt nation Mexico is and that most success Hispanics gain in the USA comes from whites having to coddle our race like children with affirmative action and educational policies focused on satisfying minorities leaves me empty.

Why does God love the white man? They've been allowed to rule the world for hundreds of years and all minorities save for Asians are still living under their boot as ignorant slaves that they need to prop up. No matter how much liberals claim to be doing it for the betterment of minorities its still just a more positive spin of "the white man's burden" There is nothing worth praising about Latin America, it's a whole continent of failed states rife with crime syndicates ruling corrupt politicians and ignorant uneducated masses.

My intention isn't to make racist comments, I'm honestly unhappy realizing as Asians and Whites succeed in this world Hispanics and for that matter blacks too remain in this violent ignorant state where leftists have to coddle them like children and rightists can rightly push statistics proving their claims that minorities are sub-human.

Yes white male dominated colonialism and then capitalism has much to answer for. Personal I see colonialism as the beast of the sea, and capitalism as the beast of the earth, while democracy may seem like a lamb, but its history proves that it speaks like a dragon.

The best way to deal with this is to remember that those who exult themselves shall be humbled and those that are oppressed shall rule their oppressors.

Lets hope that Jesus will come soon, He will make everything right that has gone wrong and destroy the forces that destroy this earth and its people.

So looking forward to the day that true justice will rule this earth.

come Lord Jesus, please come quickly:prayer:

I pray that you don't intend to teach that "God loves the white man." It sounds like you are excluding everyone else. That would be in error. Instead, look for the meaning of life. You'll find it only in scripture.

I don't intend too.

It still feels like just wishful slave mentality, hoping God punishes the successful races and uplifts those who failed to be worth anything.

It's not about race, it's about culture. Christianity is also a culture, and like any culture, it's a choice. Embrace the values that work, and make that your identity.

I've been to other parts of the planet, and have a basis of comparison. Many cultures are tragically dysfunctional. Children are raised with values that just don't work. They still have a choice: rise above your upbringing or don't.

Don't envy white people. Lots of white people are raised in dysfunctional cultures and suffer because of it. I had to reject my own parents' ways merely to survive. So much for white privilege. My parents were trash, and I chose not to be.

Don't blame white people. Just because Western culture has been so successful, everyone wants to make a scapegoat of it. See enough of the world and you'll see for yourself how much evil everyone else does, and how much the rest of the world contributes to its own problems. I've been in countries where parents drive their own children to suicide. There are places where they sell their own children as slaves. There are places where they idolize gangsters and terrorists.

Anti-white racism, class envy and fatalism are all tied up in one nasty, toxic bundle. Throw that bundle into the trash. Stop making excuses, and for focus on becoming the person you want to be.

About Asians: their general culture is a mixed bag. Those who do well embrace the good in their upbringing and reject the bad. Plenty of Asians don't do well, but we don't see those on college campuses. Just go to the Far East and you'll see the beggars for yourself. Or your local Chinatown will have a few down-and-outers.

Or head up to the mountains and see plenty of poor whites.

Not just capitalism but socialism as well. Socialism is often just a self righteous bunch of nonsense which points fingers at the splinter in the eyes of capitalism, while ignoring the log in its own. Free enterprise capitalism gives any man of any race an opportunity to become powerful, but thats not wisdom or true strength anyway.

Friend. God allowed the Babylonians to rule over Israel, and the Romans did as well. Its not because God loved the Babylonians or Romans however, and they were punished just as Israel was. Im not saying God is punishing Mexico or any other nation, i'm only using this as an example of evil men ruling the world. Whites are not more evil than others, but they are actually burdening a curse, not a blessing. God will judge america and its European sisters for their wealth and pride. Its not like they are truly blessed with anything. Not in my opinion.

Dont allow the world to define what is good and Nobel. Highly educated people are often more blind than less educated people. Their education makes them proud and arrogant which is foolish and it blinds them. God values love and humility.


1 Corinthians 1:18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written:

“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”[a]
20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. 22 For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom; 23 but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness, 24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

Glory Only in the Lord
26 For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. 27 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; 28 and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, 29 that no flesh should glory in His presence. 30 But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption— 31 that, as it is written, “He who glories, let him glory in the Lord.”[c]



1 Corinthians 3:18 Do not deceive yourselves. If any of you think you are wise by the standards of this age, you should become “fools” so that you may become wise. 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness”[a]; 20 and again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.” 21 So then, no more boasting about human leaders! All things are yours, 22 whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas[c] or the world or life or death or the present or the future—all are yours, 23 and you are of Christ, and Christ is of God.
