There's a Nat Geo article about it too, but you have to have a subscription to get to it. The gist of it: declining birth rate among whites allows us ...

:up:

You're writing an alternate history to this thread? Do an alternate history of WW2. That's more fun.

:grimace:

There's a lot of us unidentifiables. The typical American of the future will look like us. I would have put the cover of the Time magazine article abo...

The past doesn't always tell us about the future. Crazy new things happen all the time.

Cool.

I would say that "on average" men are bigger and smellier than women.

Sorry, I didn't see it, and it seems to have been buried. Did the studies you put forward show that there is inequality? There is. Latinos are on the ...

Generally, "as a group" will be followed by some prejudiced comment.

I would say overstated as in wrong. Money is God in the US. When blacks and latinos have more cash, their standing will be more equal. Prior to that: ...

Did you not? It just looked like that's what you were doing. It seemed that you waved away every American who spoke except T-Clark who has an idiosync...

It really is odd to me that you weigh the testimony of new stories over people on the ground. If you learned that I'm whitish to brown as opposed to p...

Sure. You'd have to be skimming pretty lightly to think I was talking about him. Already moved on.

But what can we do with his remarx?

Which do you think is more important in intellectual greatness: left or right brain?

Accuracy? Or usefulness?

It could be. You have to tune your brainio to the dog whistling that's going on. But if you repeatedly tell me that you aren't interested in my view, ...

It's a John Locke sort of statement. I honor your right to your opinion. The more diverse the society, the more important that is to peace and stabili...

Ok. You're certainly entitled to your opinion. Hasta la vista.

I wouldnt mind exploring this further with you in a separate thread. I'm only interested in an exchange of experiences and reflections, though.

At least you backed down from "as a group." One step at a time, my friend.

Of course not. If it was typical, they wouldn't have made such a big deal out of it. I'm not denying that there's a serious problem in the US, but the...

Why do you say that?

You may be right, but I think the world scene is changing. As China takes more of a leadership role than it has in the past, maybe its relationship to...

It really isn't in keeping with my personal experience. I also don't feel attacked by the assertion. It's just wrong. I'm a little curious about the p...

If a person's unconsciously racist, I assume they'll just have to wait until the malignancy pops into consciousness and then put it on the couch and i...

I think it was cyber warfare. Divide and cripple.

So you know why CA was doing that?

Cambridge Analytica sought to foster racism.

How do you access the ignore function?

A childhood friend recently died. His nickname was TC. I'm having some trouble getting over it, actually. Maybe I just won't get over it.

If he's not a bigot, then his assertion that white Americans as a group are racist would have to be wrong, wouldn't it?

Your behavior has spoken for you.

Any rational person would take your answers to mean that you see yourself as a bigot, and you believe everyone is like that.

I'm not a bigot. Do you feel the same way about yourself?

You made a blanket statement about Americans being racist. Then you accused Throngil of carrying hidden racism. 1 + 1 = you must think you're a bigot....

You're not a bigot, right?

It did look like you were claiming to be a bigot. That's not what you meant, was it?

What's your viewpoint?

Are there any concepts more fundamental than truth?

There's a chasm between my outlook and yours such that you don't even understand what I'm asking. Weird.

Most of what I know about it comes from people who left because the situation was intolerable, so maybe my understanding is skewed. But it looks to me...

Let me tell you something about trust. :D I don't think the Iranians were complying with the agreement, were they? As an untrustworthy American, I say...

Why do you think the Palestinians have so persistently obstructed peace (it's been over a couple of generations now)? Do you see it as an aspect of Pa...

Do you think Israel has always wanted peace and all of the conflict over the decades is down to non-Israelis?

My theory is that a Zionist needs an enemy. The core of Jewish tradition is about surviving a direct attack. The secret to that survival is the covena...

Long standing conflicts usually have no purely innocent participants. Today's violence is a result of the grief from yesterday's funerals.

My mind went straight to a challenge I set for myself: come to recognize the ways I'm related to Adolph Hitler. Why didn't I ever accept the challenge...

I see. I once saw a huge Chinese watercolor painting with goldfish swooping down from the upper left corner. Boldness met grace. It was the work of a ...
