A quick quote from Jefferson

^ Fine.................. I feel differently about all of this though

I feel no need to restate anything.......... I already explained how I felt that since the Irish, English, Germans, etc, were all white people(s), that would make eventual integration more natural than that between whites and incoming non-whites. I hope it doesn't happen anyway to preserve the uniqueness of both whites and various non-white cultures. I'd rather see everyone's culture preserved than just one beige mass with the same pop-culture. I see nothing natural or desireable about diversity or the projected outcome of a multicultural/brown-uniracial society.

I'm glad though, honestly, that all of you with a couple exceptions are apparently happy and well-adjusted to diversity and have had positive experiences with multiculturalism. I'm glad for you that you are able to embrace your fates for better or worse.

Diversity was the dominant culture I was raised in. Having AS, I feel that my natural instinct was to revolt against that diverse instant-gratification culture. I saw diversity as superficial, destructive, and violent, and many other negative superlatives.

It seems though that many of you are in some sort of reaction against what you perceive as "the white conservative racist establishment." Honestly, I see diversity, multiculturalism, the liberal media and schools, as being the catalyst for conformity in the country, and those that resist these pressures as the ones fighting for their independence. I can see where you are coming from about resisting right-wingers as well though. I think there is a truth and legitimacy to both sides TBH. It seems sometimes like a few leftists on this forum can be insulting and overbearing in how they present their arguements, and demand acceptance of their ethos from those that disagree.................It seems like dissenters are just ovewhelmed with massive point-counterpoint block-quote posts based on lots of superficial fine-print differences until the whole debate just becomes an infinite back-and-forth kind of thing with no real meaning anymore.......... I suppose if you grew up in a predominately white suburb and went to a majority white school with AS, you may well feel disenchanted with that establishment and seek your own self-expression. More power to you if this is your case.

My revolt, however, was to be white and retain my white Euro-centric identity as what I perceived as the minority influences bombarding me everywhere.

All of the "cool white kids" I ever knew growing up(the ones who were commonly accepted as cool by the consensus,) completely embraced the MTV rapper culture and all of that. So that was my revolt against both them and the minority students who I perceived as getting privileged status.

Most of the boards I visit have a simple rule that makes life a lot easier for the Mods. "No politics, no religion".

If there is going to be a PPR board at all there is no point pulling the plug when ever anything interesting comes up.

The endless round of Christian, Muslim, Atheist baiting get's a little dull after a while.

But I am curious, since you are aware of this thread - what do you feel about it? Not about anyone or any post in particular, but the overall discussion and variety of positions?

I have been angered and saddened by the thread.

But then a bit of anger and sadness is a small price to pay to hear honest opinions honestly put.
(Especially by people who may not wish to go anywhere near me in real life.)

I'd let it go as long as people are not abusing each other (too much ).

Who is Warren Sapp?

One of the best DT's to ever play football. He, unfortunately, played for the Tampa Bay Bucs (rival to my hometown New Orleans Saints).

Hanotaux, after all, is NOT female.

Nor if Ferdinand.

I swear, this is the ONLY forum I've ever been on where people like to play with my head that way ... but I did figure it out long ago. The avatars are not the people, lol.

I always thought that skafather84 was a weird fetus, that Orwell was Orwell, that AG actually looked like that and that iamnotaparakeet was a bird
