Rolo, the phenomenon you described in the opening minutes of this discussion, that of the malcontent who, rather than undertake a serious effort to improve himself in order to elevate his status, chooses instead to degrade all that is around him in order to diminish the overall status of the community at large, and in so doing perhaps appear to be slightly better off with his existing condition, this is precisely how I perceive black people in the United States. Not many white folks will admit to feeling this way, anymore. But man, plenty did in the 80s when I was growing up. You were looked upon as an outright fool for wanting to have black kids as friends, especially if you let them come around your house.
I don't care what people think of me. I'm as racist as they come. I don't want any other groups exterminated. I certainly don't want my group to be in a position of control over any other group. I want us all to inhabit the corners of the earth our racial progenitors evolved within and be separate from one another.
Your post gives the impression you want to keep blacks in a bad situation because you want to raise your own status. I'm not sure that's what you meant. It's certainly true that one can advocate separation or, more flexibly, voluntary freedom of association without pushing for repressive measures. But separation does not mean that you don't wish the other well, or even that you don't take steps to help where you can.
I don't want any group to be poor off. If my neighbor is in dire straits due to circumstances unrelated to outright negligence on his part then I will gladly avail to him to any assistance I can reasonably provide. There exists the astounding panoply of races and ethnicities for a reason. I don't know what that reason is, but I believe it ought to be preserved. I suspect that there is in place an active plan to reduce this wonderous diversity to a singular, soupy, goopy homogenous mongrel race. That constitutes a very egregious crime against humanity. I also happen to believe that certain territories, large swaths of the United States being one such, ought to exist as intentionally cosmopolitan societies, so that those who truly do wish to mix and match can do so to their hearts content. When I say I am racist, absolutely none of that is meant to be reinforced by an undercurrent of hatred. I merely mean to claim that I believe that the varying racial groups possess quantifiable biological difference from one another which influence their capacity to peacefully co-exist with members of differing tribes. Every individual is different of course, but conversations such as these, i.e 2-D, I-type-then-you-type require a certain acceptance of broad based generalities. I persoanlly prefer to live in all-white communities. I've lived in predominantly black communities, one of them being New Orleans, LA for a total of two years . I did it on purpose. I was trying like hell to be an enthusiastic member of the rainbow coalition. That just isn't my scene
I hope that clears up my position somewhat. I thank you for the courteous tone of your approach. I continue to be overjoyed with the cordial nature of the conversations on this blog. Enquiring minds are in true abundance here. Take care.
