heres where i ramble about white supremacy
first, i will say this. i think every single person in this world has some hint of "racism" or prejudice or other preconceived/ill notions towards some class of people. i think this is human nature, and such feelings are bred by the human ego, society, and the fear of that which is different from us.
that being said, i dont think im racist. i hate all races equally, including stupid crackers. honestly, i just dont get the "white supremacist" thing. really, white people are supreme?
again, i dont know if this feeling of superiority or supremacy is attributable to sheer ignorance, "influence" [read: brainwashing at an impressionable age/period in life], or if it is a mask for the fear of people who are unlike the so-called supremacists.
i mean, anyone in america who tries to pull the "purebred" or "pure blood" argument for white people is obviously really smart. white people are the least likely to have pure blood (from a strict heritage/genetic perspective...we're not talking about the HIV here, so stay focused) b/c we're a mixture of 2000 different cultures all coming together and boning.
again, there are plenty of things about every race, culture, heritage that im sure i dont care for or agree with, but to claim my own race superior b/c some other race doesnt look or act the same way is short-sighted at best.
im not a hippie, and im not looking for racial tolerance or whatever, but i think it is the individuals who bother us, not necessarily the entire race or culture. what if all the militant muslims thought all americans were stupid just because our president sounds unintelligent. uh, whoops, bad example. anyways, pigeonholing is stupid, and i want someone to explain to me the rational basis for white supremacy.
for some reason, i think theyd have even less success explaining that to me in a cogent manner than someone trying to explain religion to a "non-believer"
and yes, if someone has a better understanding than me on white supremacy and its origins/rationales (or is somehow less lazy than me and wants to research), please do respond
in the mean time, youll have to excuse me, but uh...we have the truth
