  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Nothing, I just prefer whites to stay the majority. I don't have an issue with a society that is 80% white 20% non-white.

By the way, Spanish is a European language.
Obviously having "whites to stay the majority" represents something very important to you; typically it's fear of losing a power that one senses they have.

Besides, you're not in the majority anyway - Hispanics are a minority. Spanish is a European language but Spaniards are not actually white, anyway - they are mixed with moors, arabs, northern africans, etc. Si Senor!

A book I read on the history of Al Andalus shows that very few Spanish people have Arab and North African ancestry. Islamic Spain was largely segregated along religious lines, and there were few opportunities for mixed religious/cultural marriages.

I love meeting people of other cultures and discovering their food, their music, their dance and all the other customs.

To add to that, some things also transcend different cultures and so called "races", thinking you are close to death and being reassured by somebody a "different race", really sums up how what binds humanity goes beyond culture and ethnic heritage.

Hey, at least your open and honest about being a white nationalist.

Spanish are very mixed but even ones who aren't very mixed are still a different culture from the rest of Europe. Hispanic culture is it's own and is different. Someone from Spain has much more in common with someone from Guatemala than with someone from Poland or Holland. So, it's interesting that you come from Hispanic culture yet opt to switch to what you call "white" culture, particularly because you specify you want whites to stay the majority which would leave you in the minority.

The dominant culture in Spain is descended from Germanic invaders. This is why Germanic names are still common in Spain to this day. Arabs had an influence on the culture (about 10 percent of Spanish vocabulary comes from Arabic), but there was almost no intermarriage between Arab invaders and Christians in Spain.

People in Guatemala may have little or no actual Spanish ancestry. Some may only speak Spanish as a second language. The relationship between Spain and Latin America is somewhat analogous to the relationship between the US and Britain. Just as not everybody that lives in the US is of English descent or even speaks English, not everybody in Latin America is of Spanish descent or speaks Spanish. Latin America actually has fairly substantial communities of people of Irish and Asian descent, not to mention many indigenous peoples that have had far less contact or assimilation than in North America.

1 in 10 Spanish men have Moorish DNA and another 1 in 10 have Sephardic Jewish DNA. The Arabs and Jews were expelled from Spain but were also given the option to convert to Christianity instead which many of them took up despite continuing persecution.
