I'd rather not end up like the Jews, or the First Nations, or any other group of people dispossessed of their homes and countries. Bad things follow from that.de officiis wrote:I think it's worth asking whether you were concerned about minorities "colonizing" the U.S. 15 or even 10 years ago. If you weren't, then maybe you should explore what has changed that has led to your current position. The country has admitted many different groups of immigrants over its history. From what I have read of your posts, I don't think you really fear minorities per se, but people who come here yet reject American values and the culture that has been built on top of those values. There is nothing about skin color that defines a "good American." My sense of what really concerns you is the loss of the concept of the upstanding American citizen who believes in, and is willing to defend, our freedoms and shared values. The problem with the way you are framing the argument is that the erosion of those values is not tied to immigrants; there are plenty of white people who are losing their commitment to those values as well. There are many reasons for this, but I think it is tied to serious, structural problems, including the declining ability of groups with disparate interests to engage in dialogue, increasing distrust of the federal government's ability to effectively govern, the capture of Congress by lobbyists and special interests, and the widening gap between rich and poor and the destruction of the middle class. Find ways to solve those problems, and you will see a lot more people feeling good about their country and willing to stand up for our values, regardless of their skin color.Speaker to Animals wrote:LMFAO
You just illustrated my argument perfectly. You are a Cat 1 Loon and your only recourse is to go on the attack and accuse me of being a racist for not wanting to be colonized. The way you do that is by accusing me of not acknowledging an American citizen as such merely because of race, as if I think an American citizen is defined by race. But all I said was that I favor an immigration policy that maintains a white majority, not one that defines citizenship as only belonging to white people.
All you have left, as ineffectual and pathetic as it is, is to scream RACIST! at people in category 3. You desperately try to frame people in category 3 as the tiny number of actual white supremacists in category 4 because it's all too easy for anybody to see you are drifting from category 2 to 1.
I merely want for us to have a sensible immigration policy that doesn't hand our nation over to foreign peoples. That's it. It's not racist to want to maintain a white demographic majority, and it's sure as shit not like saying the only American citizens are white people.
But the fact that you can't even acknowledge the contradiction in your accusations of racism illustrates just how dishonest and irrational you truly are here. If I am a racist for wanting to maintain a white majority in my own country, then so are Latinos in Mexico racists for not wanting millions of Anglos or anybody else flooding into Mexico and taking it over from them. So too would Han Chinese be racists for not wanting to lose their demographic majority, or black South Africans for not wanting a shit ton more white immigrants, and so on. I know you know how ridiculous you are being here.
Can you name a race of people without their own nation who are having a great time?
