Keeping whites seperate from your coloureds?

Al B. Sure! · November 13, 2003, 01:36

the US is 70% white, right? so if everybody suddenly got all mixed, in a few generations, every American would be 70% white, right? oh and another 12-15% being hispanic which, face it, is white with a tan. if the KKK and what not wants a White America, isn't inter-racial relations the way to achieve it? everyone would be 'white'. ironic...

so whats with that?

Purity man...purity...There's a reason neo-Nazis share the KKK's worldview.

Put whites in with colours and the whites will turn into a variant of the colours you put in.

It really is that simple.

Berzerker · November 13, 2003, 02:38

Btw, there aren't many races (if any) that embrace race-mixing. The children of Vietnamese-Americans, identifiable by their rounder eyes if nothing else, are treated differently in Vietnamese culture and this phenomenon can be seen in other cultures. We're all familiar of the reaction of traditional Jewish mothers upon hearing their child is marrying a non-Jew.

And we've seen how many black women and white men react when a black man hooks up with a white woman...

That's why I propose a radical new idea.

Forced breeding. Yep, you heard me right. Whites should be forced to mate with blacks. Mexicans should be forced to mate with Chinese. American indians should be forced to mate with Indians.

you get the drift. This will eliminate racism.

Hey, just as long as someone's being forced to mate with me.

:P

You must think racism is really bad to advocate such a punishment.

Az · November 13, 2003, 04:02

well, gee, Berz, I don't think that this is the best way to put your pov, if you catch my drift.

Rufus T. Firefly · November 13, 2003, 04:09

What you're missing, Albert, is the notion (especially prevalent in the South) that non-white blood "pollutes" white blood. Louisiana, for example, until very recently legally defined as "Negro" anyone who was 1/32 black; that is, if you had one black great-great-great grandparent, and all your other ancestors were white, you would still be "black" (I don't think these laws are still on the books, but I don't know for sure). This is similar, of course, to the Nazi German law that made anyone who was 1/16 Jewish a Jew -- and shows a similar social mind-set. In other words, from the point of view of the whites who actually care about this stuff, mixing black and white blood in any proportion makes more blacks, not more whites.

It will also strengthen the overall human gene pool and give us many more beautiful women (I'm continually astnished at how anyone can be racist in the face of the sheer gorgeousness of mixed-race women).

So sign me up; I'd like someone from the Indian subcontinent, please. I'm not sure how my wife will feel about that, but I know that if you hook her up with Laurence Fishburn she'll be too busy to care about what I'm doing.

Is there any pure white blood left?

Jamski · November 13, 2003, 04:29

Mine is red, sorry

DaShi · November 13, 2003, 04:36

Is it pure red?

Dis · November 13, 2003, 04:38

my blood looks blue to me

Jamski · November 13, 2003, 04:46

Yep, pure red, but it goes black after it dries.

Albert- have you heard of the British group Blue Mink?

Melting Pot
Take a pinch of white man
Wrap him up in black skin
Add a touch of blue blood
And a little bitty bit of red Indian boy
Oh like a Curly Latin kinkies
Oh Lordy, Lordy, mixed with yellow Chinkees*, yeah
You know you lump it all together
And you got a recipe for a get along scene
Oh what a beautiful dream
If it could only come true, you know, you know

What we need is a great big melting pot
Big enough enough enough to take
The world and all its got
And keep it stirring for
A hundred years or more
And turn out coffee coloured people by the score

Rabbis and the friars
Vishnus and the gurus
We got the Beatles or the Sun God
Well it really doesn't matter
What religion you choose
And be thankful little Mrs. Graceful
You know that livin' could be tasteful
We should all get together in a lovin machine
I think I'll call up the queen
It' s only fair that she knows, you know, you know

What we need is a great big melting pot
Big enough enough enough to take
The world and all its got
And keep it stirring for
A hundred years or more
And turn out coffee coloured people by the score

Coffee coloured people
Coffee coloured people
Coffee coloured people by the score

You should also read 'The Lathe of Heaven' by Ursula K. Le Guin'- its hero is a man who can change the world by thought. He solves the 'colour' or 'race' problem, but unfortunately this is balanced out by an alien invasion.

(Apologies to anyone of Chinese descent- I'm quoting the lyrics as written in 1969, not endorsing the terminology)

Let's just hope the sensitivity police are lenient.

Q Classic · November 13, 2003, 08:21

i don't think my decendents will ever be 70% white. 70% isn't a power of 2...

===

and about the "miscegenation" ideas... well, although an asian-white relationship gets fewer eyebrows raised than white-black relationship, there are still those who find such mixed-race pairings wrong. often times, there seems to be a sort of ranking on how threatening the mixes are to those people; asians are apparently "white enough" if they're female, a little less so than males, which seems to go a long way towards 'acceptance'.

what's more is that while you often have a fairly balanced ratio of male latino-female white to female latina-white male relationships, you see a great imbalanced between other pairings: far more black male-white female than white male-black female, and although you'll find droves of white male-asian female pairings, the number of asian male-white female pairings i've seen i could count on one of my hands--and that's including mine. these all can play into the generic racial stereotypes, which can enforce the "rankings" so to speak.

even between colored peoples, there's a good deal of ranking--japanese like japanese, koreans koreans, and chinese chinese; hindu indians stay away from sikh and muslim indians. han chinese don't usually go for southern chinese.

no matter what you may want, you'll always have some purebloods. the trick is to not think about race at all; tall order for some, but it can be done. who cares of someone is pureblooded or not if the basic and fundamental idea of different races is irrelevant?

You are so weird.
I attribute it more to your being a Yankee than being Black.

Gangerolf · November 13, 2003, 10:53

It's funny how chinese are labelled as yellow. They're not yellow at all, just slightly darker than white people. Then again whites aren't really white, they're more like pinkish-beige or something. And blacks are more like dark brown really

SlowwHand · November 13, 2003, 10:55

I honestly thought this thread was about washing clothes.

"Don't hate the Black, don't hate the White.
If you get bit, just hate the bite.
Make sure your heart is beating right.

You know what the old Vikings called Negroes? "Bluemen"

If one race made up of a mix of all current races is your ideal, then you are basically admitting that racial integration/diversity can never work.

To me most chinese clearly have yellow skin. It may just look like a darker white to you, but when you think about it, that's kind of what yellow is. Some Mexicans seem to have a yellow tinge to them too.

Some of the really dark ones do have a blue/purple tinge to them. I lived with some folks from Ghana for a while, and when I saw their skin in bright sunlight there was clearly some blue/purple there.

Az · November 13, 2003, 13:22

Nah. Only people with hepatitis, or Gilbert's have yellow skin.
