My oh My, Wake up Squires, wake up. You are obviously blind to the problems around you in our neighborhoods. It has nothing to do with the white people, it is black killing black. The higher percentage of persons in prison are black, because they are the higher percentage of crack cocaine dealers destroying their own race. You are the most prejudice person I know, get over the jelousy issues and move on.

What is proposed is dispossesion and if practiced on a nation in either Africa or Asia it would be called genocide.

Yes, Yes, The untimate racism is when minorities try to displace the majority. Just ask the man in the white house.

If these clowns had the nerve to do this (they do not)in many countries around the world that are of a majority, they would be excuted on sight. Try Japan or China or somewhere in the middle east.

Only in America can such vile and dirty politics be accepted.

These groups are just "useful idiot" lackys for communist groups and are too stupid to realize it, OR ARE THEY??????????

This is a country founded for and by Western Europeans, make no mistake.

Other races are welcome to live here, If they assimulate into the majority social fabric of the country, just as white Americans are expected to do in any of their countries of origin.

Sociologist tell us that many who are completely law abiding citizens in their country of origin come to America and become lawless and criminals, look around you, why is that?

There is no "white priviledge" as the majority white population fought, died, worked and sacrificed under the mantel of manifest destiny as technology and those populations who developed and used it spread around the globe.

If Russia, Japan, China, Korea or the Middle east ruled the world as they intended or intent to do, I wonder what they would do, if demented jealous fools told them that they had "other race or color priviledge"?

How the Trib runs its business is up to them, I for one believe in freedom of speech as they choose to exercise it. Yet if they chose to set up operation in another country and agitated for the criminalization and dispossesion of the native population I have no doubt they would be imprisoned and perhaps with justification. Its sad to see the media, the intellegensia and the politcial class agitate for what the U.N. would classify as Genocide. As for the author, please find the Lord and go positive because his "whiteness" screed reads like a Julius Streicher commentary.

And "IF" wishes were wings, frogs wouldn't bump their **** every time they jumped.

The fact is England and Spain were two different cultures with two separate systems of laws and ways of seeing the world. Your ancestors, the Spanish, committed mass murder and genocide for several hundred years, and enslaved millions--long before English Puritans ever settled on the North American continent. The English did not do this when they colonized. You'll just have to live with that.

People of my own ancestry came to the North American continent long before the Spanish had boats that could sail across the Atlantic Ocean. They didn't plunder or steal. They explored, some stayed, most went back to Iceland, and to Europe. They didn't claim the land as their own.

http://kensingtonmn.com/runestonepg.html

I don't know what you're trying to get at with your rather weak "What IF" scenario. I can only assume you desperately want to show that the USA was founded by white dogs and white scum and so is not worthy of existing. Maybe you want the founders of the USA to share in the shame of what the Spanish did. "IFs" don't provide that--can't and never will.

IF you were queen of the world and had magical ability, you could wave a finger and make all white people keel over and die. Not going to happen. You'll just have to content yourself with your racial hatred, your wishful thinking that history was different, and your desperate desire to destroy us.

You want so badly that the descendants and legacy of Spain should take over the USA. You might get your way someday--your people are using the same tactics their Spanish ancestors did -- coming where they aren't wanted or needed, taking what isn't theirs because it glitters and merely because they want it, spreading disease and mayhem, bullying and threatening, not respecting the culture that's here--yep, the blood seems to be running true.

You're using the same argument your ancestors did - that our culture isn't worth saving because YOU don't like it--because it isn't YOUR culture. The Spanish thought the natives worthless because they were heathen, and therefore not worthy of life--especially since the natives had gold and land the Spanish could steal. The Spanish thought themselves superior, and granted themselves the right to take a foreign land and kill the people of that land because they stood in the way. Yes, the blood does run true, doesn't it.

The United States is the most culturally diverse country in the entire world. We accept other cultures. We just don't like invaders who want to steal what we have. We're more like your natives in that way than you are.

Contrary to your opinion, there are very many people of many colors, even your hated ‘whites,’ who have hearts far purer than your own. LOL!

I got the above from someones post... Great truths there !!!!!!!!

There is ignorance on both sides of the colour issue.

When you read threads like would you adopt a white etc you realize how deep the hatred is for whites and history sure tells us that the white folk have been equally disgusting.

The truth is that in order for any semblance of equality to emerge there always had to be some whites that were prepared for that.

The politicians who pushed for abolition,equal rights etc. had to have white supporters in order to champion those causes because black people couldn't vote. There were white people on the underground railroad, there were quiet ordinary white folk who were too scared to speak out in the south because of the potential harm their own families might come to, not brave not courageous,not activists ( though some of those existed too) but maybe they prayed for blacks at bedtime. Maybe they just wished them well.
Now, lots of whites voted for Obama in the US and in other countries white people celebrated the occasion.
Not all whites have hated or abused blacks and not all blacks hate or abuse whites.
It is just a shame that those who slide into he hate game do.
In the comment above I was absolutely not stating that Mr. Squires was prejudice I was only commenting on Not Surprised's comment.

It would seem that almost any race or nationality that arrives in the US eventually takes on a brand of American that is acknowledged as acceptable even the Irish! It usually takes two to three generations. In the meantime you can keep trying to bang it into them or let nature take its course including language training, etc.
Who are the Americans anyway the native people or everyone else whose ancestors wore silly un American hats or ate haggis or crayfish.
You are likely spitting on your own ancestors.

Black people are too hung up on race and skin color to function normally.

And the black guy who wrote this column is a good example.

He accomplished nothing in all those words except to whine about the mistreatment of blacks.

I would feel comfortable saying that it took Ukrainian, Italian and Polish immigrants two to three generations to have entire fluent English speaking family members.
I think, you can correct me, that you are talking about groups of immigrants that are, at best, just starting to have their own children born in the US.By the time their children have children they will be the people that you point to as Americans who assimilated.
People use to point at those groups and complain about letting foreigners in who didn't use the language, share the holidays, get what being an American is about.
If you throw your own families origin in I will tell you how they were received and what kinds of things were said about them.
