Senator says soon US will look like South American countries -- poll

[expos4ever]

“Look” like Central America, huh? So it’s skin color that’s a problem. They talk about this problem on white supremecist websites. White people needing to have more kids because it would be a tragedy if we ended up the minority again. Disgusting.

Thanks. More of this calling out of appeals to racist sentiment is needed.

It may be uncomfortable for some of you to "call someone a racist". Well, if the shoe fits.......

Besides, I trust you guys understand that when you refuse to call people out on racism, you are creating a "a safe space" for racist ideas to fester and metastasize. Ironically, it is often those on the right who correctly criticize university students who insist on "safe spaces". What is good for the goose.......

Evolved creatures have no moral imperatives.

What?! This is a case you cannot possibly make work. But please give it your best shot.

In any event, this is a (perhaps intended) distraction - you have posted something that really cashes out to a claim that it is reasonable for people to leverage a possible connection between skin colour and moral values in evaluating people.

Even if there is such a such a connection, there are all sorts of reasons to not use such a connection to justify judgements based on skin colour.

Where in evolution literature are morals, ethics, etc. mentioned?

Just follow those evolutionary differences to their logical conclusion. That will break the 'connection'.

The problem is when you only criticize one race for their racism, and ignore others, you prove bigoted yourself.

I’d be calling it out even more directly but I think I’d be banned.

And just make the problem of hate worse.

Republican Arizona state senator says US will 'look like South American countries' soon

Republican Arizona state Sen. Sylvia Allen believes the U.S. will soon "look like South American countries" because immigrants entering the U.S. and low birth rates among white people are contributing to a lack of cultural assimilation.

Speaking at a Republican Party event in Phoenixon July 15, Allen, of Snowflake, a city in Navajo County, said immigrants were inundating the U.S. — so much so that they can't learn "the principles of our country."

Fox has a mixed rating for right wing bias, poor sourcing, spreading of conspiracy theories, publishing misleading reports and omitting reporting of information that may damage conservative causes.

(1) I'm pleased to know that the Senator felt compelled to apologize for her remarks after she was called out for what she said. It's too bad she only apologized because she was called out.

(2) The Senator could possibly be feeling very anxious about white people becoming a minority in the United States and therefore she is lashing out at the immigrants who are not white people.

These responses are natural and understandable. How will the growing minority population reassure us concerning this fear? Will they seek 'revenge' as is happening in South Africa?

I don't know the right answer to your question, my friend.

 

[OldWiseGuy]

I don't know the right answer to your question, my friend.

And to you, when minorities become the majority here, what will happen to your people?

 

[Sparagmos]

And just make the problem of hate worse.

I’ve never seen you acknowledge any issue with hatred or racism towards people of color here. Only a defense of racism. So I don’t see why I would take advice from you on combatting it.

I have made my feelings known to people in my life and many of them agree. I don't care what color your skin is, I only care how you act. Treat me like a bigot and I wont be your friend.

My advice is to study the problem, and then decide who is going to have to blink first.

No idea what you are talking about...?

Ive lost hope that people really want to fix the problem of racism. People just want to make others pay, they don't care about getting along, they just want to win this power struggle. That's the real issue, not racism. If racism were the real issue we would be hearing liberals calling on their own people to stop hating, but they don't. Its as if only conservatives can hate. That's not true however and that kind of thinking doesn't address the issue of racism, its just propagates a lie. I dirty stinking lie.

We see but you don't, and that's the problem

It has always been my hope that Native Americans would rise up and be strong together again. We will be united again and more politically vocal. As an NDN activist, that has been my rallying call for nearly 30 years. I was encouraged during Standing Rock because hundreds of tribal nations stood united with Standing Rock, which was fulfilling the ancient prophecy of the Eagle and the Condor.

You cant blame modern day whites for what happened years ago. I didn't take your land, I was born here same as you, and in poverty. Im sorry for what happened to your people but its not my fault. What do you want from me? You have the same rights as me. What can I give that you don't already have?
