Will Segregation Prevent Racism?

[ptsdkid]

I did not vote in your poll. from the choices you give, I take it that you are person that believes in seperation, intolerance and racism.

***One out of two ain't bad. I do believe in separation of the races to insure racial harmony. Like I said before--how can you possibly have racism if every faction of races are living with their own?

The stuff that will stop all racism is nothing. there will probably always be some. But, being seperate can only breed contempt, myth, and feelings of superiority.

***Count on it! There will always be racism so long as you mix races together with some sort of multicultural socialist experimentation.

what we need are equal social and financial rights, and equal opportunity makes it possible for all races to get along. During the years before Bush, we had reached a point where less than 25% of the American people were living in poverty. Now Bush is happy to report that Poverty has again been stretched so it covers almost 50% of population.

***Wow, your true socialist/marxist colors are showing through here. What you're saying is we need a welfare state (similar to that of modern day Europe) where the few remaining workers left will be asked/forced to work their butts off so that they can support the 75% of those on welfare, just so that they get to feel equal.

I am not talking about welfare. Welfare is designed only to feed people, not change a person's future. During the years of the War on Poverty, the IRS reported that 14 million folks left welfare and became tax payers. Did you know that 60 percent of those folks were white?

***Where have you been? Welfare may very well have been designed to feed people back during FDR's New Deal and on through LBJ's Great Societal handout programs--but it has simply escalated since then to where our welfare recipients are taken care of with cradle to grave benefits that include medical/dental, schooling tuition and full housing entitlements until they die. Who do you suppose pays for all these handouts? What do you think, Uncle Sam is some sort of multi-trillionaire that has nothing better to do with his money than to spread it out to the lazy and indigent? In case you've been asleep for decades--Uncle Sam is a metaphor for hard working tax paying Americans.

Desegregation AFTER years of segregation prompts racial tension. There should be no segregation in the first place. We are all HUMAN BEINGS.

***That's total gibberish. Of course we're all human beings. What does that have to do with preventing racial tension by segregating the racial combatants?

For somebody livin' off the dole you sure are a hypocritical mother*****er.

***Perhaps you haven't been paying attention. I was called into duty when my country asked me to fight in a combat role--probably back before you were born. So my combat wounds gave me the disability I have today. If you think collecting government money for a combat wound disability is on an equal par with an indolent leech on welfare--then you need to go back to the drawing boards. Besides, that disability compensation is but a mere stipend to the monies I receive from my thriving moonlighting home-based job. Talk nice to me, and I might just show you how to get off those welfare roles to where you could be pulling in some nice cash of your own. You do need to be nice to your elders, first.

Please tell me you aren't boasting about defrauding the federal government.
That seems most unwise.

He's not concerned about someone reporting him to the government, because this persona does not actually exist. He's probably a 15 year old living in his mom's basement who just trolls on this forum because he can't get laid.

I concur. I don't think kid deserves the attention his posts get. I mean seriously. Who the hell says Liberals are anti-American and then with the same face defrauds the American government and doesn't see the complete irony and hypocrisy?

So did you "accidently" shoot yourself in the foot, or blow your eardrum out?

Thanks for your concern, but I got my situation under control. :2wave:

Sorry...that is not the correct answer.

***Sorry I couldn't give you a more favorable answer. Btw, is there anything in particular with the Stormfront postings that you wouldn't agree with? Most the people there take pride in their white race. You do take pride in your black race...don't you?

I'm bi-racial kid. I take pride in every drop of blood black or white that contributed to me being here. I take as much pride in my California blondie mom as I do on my Detroit Hustler dad. It's all love

This post shows where PTSD Kiddy keeps his head, i.e. up his posterior. Most of the people on stormfront take pride in their white race. As for everyone else, sane, regular white folk, I don't quite think that's so. :roll:

racism is rooted in fear, and people fear what they do not know. even if segregation is voluntary, it is contributing to racism by keeping people from different races from knowing eachother.

and forced segregation will obviously lead to resentment on top of all that.

I agree that racism is rooted in fear, but in PTSKid's case I don't think it's fear of the unknown, but fear of being irrelevant. I think that ptskid has so little going for his life that he's landed on some quality of his that allows him to have a sense of belonging, very much like how some people will wave to others driving the same kind of car. "Look, we're both driving Jeeps. Aren't we special? We're part of a club!" His fear of irrelevance is revealed in his attempt to make his mark on the world by going onto an online forum and trying to annoy people. It's his way of saying "I am here - I exist."

Quite sad, really.

That's very true (I don't know about in PTSD's case, but in general).
Racism and other forms of discrimination often seem to be connected to self-esteem issues.
It's often the lowest socioeconomic groups- uneducated blue collar whites- who exhibit the most blatant racism.
You'd think their experiences with being oppressed and underprivileged themselves would make them more sensitive to the oppression and persecution of others, but unfortunately it rarely seems to work that way.
Then people point to their lack of education and say, "Oh look, they can't help being racist; they're just ignorant", when really, ignorance is not the problem, and education alone will not fix it. The problem is low self-esteem, and a need to belong to something larger, to feel special and powerful, and to believe oneself superior to someone, to anyone.
That's what I always think, anyway, when I encounter these "White Supremist" types. That's the vibe I get from them.

***Beautiful timing Adrian. How would you have known that I just fired my personal psychiatrist? Are you bucking for the job? You do know that it took many sessions on a shrink's couch for me to get to the top today. The only thing I fear is fear itself, and so far I haven't met that fear. Yeah, psychology was my minor in college. Who would have ever known that I would have aced that subject in real life. Oh well, I still get a kick out of watching and helping the upstarts like yourself.

The best part was that I didn't even charge you for that session. That one was on the house. Here's another tip: take a painting class. Learn to sail. Take some martial arts classes. Or learn to cook something exotic. When you begin to take pride in your deeds and become more well rounded you'll quickly learn that all of this concern for the color of your skin was rather silly.

***I'll tell you of just one other volunteer hobby I do. I'm still working on my writing skills, but I've been doing this (writing) online for eleven years now. I volunteer at various venues (mostly VA hospitals) where I write down the stories from mostly WWII veterans. Most these guys are permanent shut-ins, but they have fascinating war stories to tell. I create a mini personal biography combined with their most memorable war story, and submit each to various military publications. I don't receive any compensation for this--I'm just happy to see these forgotten heroes get their due. The entire exercise is both rewarding for me and the veteran. I do on occasion get to write the stories of Vietnam veterans. Mid East veterans are next on the list. Who knows, people on the DP forum may have a chance at stardom, if I see the need to write about any of you. There certainly is a long list of characters here in which to choose, and the list of DP veterans is growing exponentially.

Really, they're growing exponentially? So, pretty soon, there will be more veterans on here than non-veterans?

Oh yes, the day PTSD brings one of us to stardom. :2rofll:

You want to achieve stardom by your writing? You're better off with serial murder, from what I see of your writing.

P.S. But honestly, look at this kid, so self obsessed that he thinks he's on the path to fame, and that he has the ability to be so generous to bring someone around here along with him. :roll:

***By DP veterans, I mean people posting here that have been here for more than a day. To be a military veteran like myself--you have to get your stripes the old fashioned way---you gotta earn them.

***Its not stardom I'm seeking with the writing, its just a means to help out people any way I can. Sort of like my mission here to get liberals into thinking like we pro American conservatives.
