OF THE
TIMES
Racial paranoia? Are you out of your frigging mind?It's quite obvious that you are subscribing to the modern, cookie cutter, carbon copy pre-disposition. There is a mind boggling dichotomy of thought prevalent in the mindset of the majority in 2018. It's amazing to me that we spend so much time thinking about the future, planning for it, hoping to build something better, and yet we are eaten up with disdain for the past, a past that is becoming so distant that it has lost any true bearing on society as a whole. It's akin to being in a shitty relationship and just hanging on, hoping that things get better. This mindset, much like the one that keeps us in the chains of self imposed oppression within said relationship, is only serving to cause you internal harm. I see the damage. I see a sea of people moving without direction. We hate without justification, I.E. we rarely ever understand the circumstances and background that lead to the ideology of the fully formed individual. Instead we revert to tribalism and generalization.
As is customarily done, figures can be made to speak any desired language. If you really want to speak white privilege versus racial paranoia, let’s step back for a wee moment in time. What exists today, did not begin today.
Let us begin by looking at the ’burnings’/hangings/slaughter of the enslaved. How many Black men have you seen hanging a white person on a tree. Burning a white person on tires? Read “Without Sanctuary”.
How many white persons have you seen hosed down with water, as minorities? How many white persons were subjected to sit only at the rear of a bus, in a designated area? How many white persons were disallowed from using certain public amenities? How do you define the position that was taken in granting less than 100 Black veterans homes after returning from the war, when the white vets had approximately 67,000 homes to themselves? How many white people were lost during the period of enslavement? Over 200 million black lives were taken, beginning in the 15th century.
We could look further back, if you feel able enough so to do. Who attempted to steal the story of the Afruikan/Black-man? Lied their way into so-called history? Who were the first people in America? Why isn’t there any mention made of them as the indigenous/native Americans?
Check the wars around the world. Who are the people responsible? The theft of resources around the world. Who are the people responsible? The butchery/murder/rape/slaughter/etc around the world. Who are the people responsible? I could go on almost perpetually, without repeating anything.
Forget your bullshit numbers. Let’s ‘conversate’. Let’s look at how the ‘racial paranoia’ began.
Like I said, that shit you are attempting to cloud with your bullshit numbers, means absolutely nothing. Let’s establish context.
Shalom

The sad thing is that the answer to all of this is so simple that it hurts to even have to say it. It is so simple in fact that a small child could, and most likely would, employ the same methodology. It is a choice, brother. It is as simple as a change in mindset. We have to stop being weak-minded sheep. We have to stop viewing an individual as a absolute part of a collective. Forget the past. The past is long gone, brother. If we could take down this wall of intrinsic malice based on our environment and the media and voices in power that spin this type of garbage on us and say, " I am going to interact with my fellow man today as an individual, and I will judge them not on the principles of their tribe, but on their individual merit," We could instantaneously change the world. Sure, it's idyllic, but at the same time it is the absolute easiest thing we could do to improve our current state. Despite what anyone feels about Christ, he did get one thing right. Love is the answer. Love is a choice. I am not my ancestor and neither are you. This is no longer their world. It is ours. Let's make something better for ourselves NOW. Not everyone is going to subscribe to this ideology, and of course there will be resistance, but a single spark always has the potential to light a great flame.
All I'm saying is that we've tried it one way. We've tried for hundreds, even thousands of years. Would it hurt to just try a new method? What do we have to lose?
It's never truly been black and white anyway. It's us vs them. Plain and simple. We just happen to be so separated that on an individual level it is hard to discern sometimes who "us" is.
glasses0420 Okay. Let's try this again.That's okay brother. You don't see it yet, but I am confident that you will one day. I just hope that when that day comes it isn't too late. Even though you foolishly assumed my academic background or personal habits in regards to what I have and have not studied, I still love you, brother, and I still believe you are better than the prevalently cynical mindset that you have imposed upon yourself.
People keep saying “forget the past”, without the past would we have had today? Absolutely not. Without today, would we have tomorrow? Again, absolutely not. “Despite what anyone feels about Christ, he did get one thing right.” Questions – why is there no historical or archaeological evidence of ‘Christ’? Actually, there is nothing about ‘Christ’ outside the bible. Back-tracing the bible, it was taken from the Hebrew bible. In the Hebrew bible, there are over 6200 mentions of Yahweh the Father, other numbers for his son Yahshua. Why is there no mention of ‘Christ’? Why is it, the Jews worship Yahweh and Yahshua, but spit on ‘Christ’? Yet Christians believe the Jews wrote the bible. How can you worship someone who never existed? Have you ever seen the image the Pope and his crew worship? Maybe you ought to check. The tax-structure is based on earnings of the past year, key “past”. Why don’t people refuse to pay tax since it concerns the past? Why do plan for the future, since the future has it basis in the past. On and on.
“I am not my ancestor and neither are you.” Sorry old chap, speak for yourself. I am my ancestor. Or don’t you know Afruikan history? Why do you think it is called ancestral memory? That which ought to be controlling you. Do not be afraid of the truth of history. I am not speaking his-story. Afruikans today are suffering because they have chosen to disassociate themselves from their story. They have instead chosen the lies of his-story. Maybe my brother, you should begin researching why ‘white’ people are experiencing their attacks from their consumption of melanin-derived products. Maybe you should research why melanin is going for almost 400USD per gram. Maybe you should read the Emerald Tablets of Thoth. Maybe you should research from whence came the books of the bible, especially Genesis. I could go on almost perpetually.
People are afraid to speak history because they are totally ignorant of history (not his-story), afraid to learn the truth, afraid of what the truth will do, etc. Please read Fomenko, learn how history was inverted. Read Quiggley, learn how history was and is manipulated, and other similar books. That did not, and is not happening for exercise. research the people who control the world. Check their involvement in things history or his-story.
It will take an essential understanding of the past, to put what the world is going through, into perspective. And similarly into the future.
Good!
Shalom
Thank you EC. It means a lot that you see the flaw in this ideology. I have no intention of attacking anyone. I believe that unity will come, but it will never truly come if its predicated on guilt, hatred, or malice. Keep fighting the good fight!This needs repeating...Racial paranoia?

Thanks, glasses0420, for adding a constructive suggestion into this overwhelmingly angry thread. This problem needs to be solved, but we will never find the solution by arguing with each other with anger and hatred in our hearts.
Highland Fleet Lute It's funny, you don't know me, yet you choose to make assumptions about meI think I can safely assume that you haven't been lynched or packed into a sardine ship.
Would you be kind enough to demonstrate the suffering you have been through. You have the answers.Displaying your wounds for your own fun and profit is not ethical. Displaying other people's wounds for your own ready cache, is virtually criminal.
Joe's point nigh perfectly sums up what is one of SOTT's best qualities (of a sort that should be all over the internet - yet is not, thanks to P.C. idiots like you). His words:I've grown and watched this change from a real problem (e.g., S.C. 1966 me asking my dad, "what is with those signs above the water fountains? They're both the same color. yet the sign says one is 'colored." You ever experience that? (Or George L?) I did, and from that time though when I first saw black and white kids playing together -1982 - I saw the changes for the better and the preceding ugly side of the conflicts.
"Wow, you're pretty reactionary, eh? In case it has escaped your notice, articles that appear on Sott.net are not the opinion of Sott.net, but are instead chosen specifically in order to encourage discussion and learning. So you can let up on the childish attacks. "
Word is out. Enjoy your little frat-house supremacist circle-jerks.Jebus H. Christ, project much?
bholanath It is this approach that causes the issues we see in society today. You come here, blast the article with rhetoric and ad hominem attacks, then, offer no sensible dialogue yourself.Good on you, prehistoric. I like the way you think.
All races have had some form of indifference set upon them throughout history (as have been noted in the comments) and in case you are interested see: The Spanish and Aztecs, Britain on their own people, and The Rwandan genocide. Race and culture mean nothing when someone is out for power or rule over others. However, it appears that some in the African American community would prefer to hold on to this indifference then use it to justify their own intolerance of others. While I acknowledge the history of Africans to America, consider the Native Americans, and Australian Aboriginals. They could give you a lesson or two on continued true suffering, loss of identity, and the absence of self determination. The Aboriginal Australians are not even acknowledged as a people in the Australian constitution. Hell, up until the late 60's, they were still classed in the category of flora and fauna (plants and animals if you didn't know the terms).
Perhaps instead of solely focusing on one form of oppression, spread it out over time and you will see, white or black, it makes no difference.
How about - angry, fanatic, hateful, anti-white, over-empathetic, reverse-racist, commie, divisive...Again, project much?
I could easily send ya'll about a 100 links to unconscious and systemic racism and white fragility, but you're probably not interested...too much self-inquiry required.You definitely should check out the "Science of the Spirit" section. But that would require letting go your ideological possession...
bholanath If you want to identify as "angry, fanatic, hateful, anti-white, over-empathetic, reverse-racist, commie, divisive" then feel free.I guess at the end of the day, Joe, the overwhelming majority of people just have to learn for themselves. He doesn't see it yet, but I have a feeling he will one day. If we can ever break this ridiculous cycle he will have no choice but to see it. The only other option in that case would be to be left behind by society.
One ski trip with 6 total CHS crew: We'd dragged enough equipment to play live if needed. One hell raising night at the ski condo off peak 8 in Breck:, I used a CHS-era scuff ('insult') and said to him:Gotta go. Thanks, B.C., SOTT, and all worthwhile commenters. Apologies for the disjointed lack of editing.
R.C.: " F*** you. Here, play this oboe?/flute?/wind instrument?*"(I forget.)

Those who forget or ignore the past, are doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past.Taking a break from absurdity for a while... quote “if history shows us anything... it’s that History always repeats itself” along those lines.
I suspect when we have appropriately matured as a society, we will be comfortable in addressing issues of ‘race’, approaching with an opened mind. Until such time, we will forever choose to call each other names, beat around the bush with frivolous nonsense and distractions, whilst exercising what we perceive as privilege to pull other people down. Maybe then, we will be willing to look back on history, and having concensus, make the wrongs right. Then there will be meaning to term unconditional love.Sorry but you are completely off base here, bud. When we have finally matured as a society we will see how asinine it is to relegate every single petty and solitary issue into one of racism. We will realize that our similarities far outweigh our differences, and sadly those who are still ensconced in the same bitter, nihilistic, and anti-progressive ideology that you are espousing here will be left out in the cold desperately hanging in to their futile quest for totality.
