Father bashed in 'Racist' attack

[JimBob]

1. White in America is used to encompass everyone of European heritage. People these days blame whites for everything and I still cant figure out why. We to seem keen on giving ourselves this guilt trip.

1) Yes white in America means people of European heritage. But here's the thing, there is not one single European heritage, so celebrating white heritage is rather pointless. Celebrating German or Irish or Russian heritage would make more sense.
Black is the same way, East Africa, South Africa, West Africa all are different culturally, yet all the people there are black.
2) People also blame blacks for everything, what would be worrying is if a large number of people believed that a race was responsible for most things. If you can demonstrate that, then you have an argument.
3) I honestly don't feel guilty about what white people did hundreds of years ago, and I have never met another white person who does. I think it is terrible, and I feel sympathy for the people who were brutalized, and some amount of scorn for the people who did it.

Tribesman has got the point. Mr. Brooks said it better than I could have.

2. Emmet Till and 1955 Mississippi couldnt be a worse comparisson to the 2006 west.

No, Lao-Tzu and 400 BC China would probably be worse. But beside that, why not? You say that immigrants get away with murder, I say white people do too. But if you don't like Emmett Till we'll try something else, bring me the evidence that immigrants are getting away with murder anymore than another section of society.

3. Why is it everyone who dosent treat these immagrants as saints branded as racists?

Proof please.

Can you begin to imgane if this happen in Iran or Mexico? We would call the whites idoits for moving to a country and then try to put in place there culture as the domaninet one. But its ok if the Mexicans do it in Texas or California or the Muslims in Holland or France becuase we are white and we need to open our arms to these poor people becuase we put them in that sutuaion.

Let's see in the US:
I didn't know that Spanish was the official language, that anywhere had been officially renamed Aztlan, or that we were required to take Mexican history courses in high school.
People come in with different cultures. They bring those cultures and mix them with the current one, especially in democratic societies.


Now let me ask you a question:
What about the Greeks, Italians, Russians, Poles. They all have ethnic enclaves where they speak their native tounge. There are parts of the Greektown in Chicago where no one speaks English. They cook their native foods, they wear traditional dress. What should we do about them?
