Re: You really need to think about what you write and be more clear
So my one (known) liberal neighbor, who always calls the cops, decided to put a letter in my mail box about it, and then call the cops on me.
She's white, right? At least it sounds like shit white people do.

I'd bet it's an older, white Presbyterian lady with a goiter and many cats, which she has given ex-president's names to. At least it sounds like shit older, white Presbyterian ladies with goiters and many cats with ex-president's names do.

Yeah, for sure, for sure.
But are you also detecting bi-focal glasses with chains that older women who play canasta wear and who barely hides her nearly unrestrained sexual attraction to her minister with low-level hostilities?

Re: Still don't get it?
They were never forced into segregation up until the late 1960's, dude.
segregation wasn't like slavery, it did not exist the same in every state everywhere the same way. Some states were more strict with it and otherws were not.
When this happened to jewish people they were given a country, when it happened to blacks they weren't given shit.
I guess you have never heard of Liberia, then...hmmm?
Different cultures are awesome.
word. My favorites are German, French, Dutch, Norwegian, Swede, Spanish, Swiss, Russian, Romainian, Polish, Danish, Bohemian, Croatian, Serbian, and Icelandic.
Have you ever been to a trailer park? Ever seen a meth lab operation?
in an urban area? those things you metioned are more a rural thing, and don't really have anythying to do with white flight and the resulting urban decay that is the outcome of white flight.
Well, "Jew" isn't really a racial definition, now is it? Neither is "Christian" or "Muslim". I mean, is this a "Christian":
no shit, sherlock holmes!!! all I said was that Jews are white, or at least the great majority are. you are comparing apples and oranges with your comparision of an Ethic Religion vs. a conversion religion.
Today, Judaism encompasses people from around the world of many different ancestries
here I'll point out the white ones: (probably 95%+ of the worlds Jewsish Population)
Ashkenazim, Romaniotes, Sephardim, San Nicandro Jews, Subbotniks (cant get any closer to Caucasia than a nation in the caucas mountains), Krymchaks and Karaim, Yemenite Jews, Egyptian Jews.
here are the non white jews: (I wouold bet 5% or less of the total world Jew population)
Bukharian Jews, Chinese Jews, B'nai Moshe, Jews of the Bilad el-Sudan, and Cochin Jews.
I bet there is well over 500 white ancestries, but a white person is still a white person nomatter if they are from Iceland, or Iran.
So my one (known) liberal neighbor, who always calls the cops, decided to put a letter in my mail box about it, and then call the cops on me.
getting the cops called on you is not a big after the 3rd time, because then it becomes obvious to the cops who the crazy person is. I have some lefty neighboors myself, I just open carry around them all the time, and they don't say shit.

What is the scientific definition of a 'white' person? What properties differentiate a white person from a non-white person? Is an Iranian or an Egyptian closer genetically to a 'white' Norwegian or a 'black' Ethiopian? How about polynesians? Or Native Americans? How about australian aboriginies? How about people from India?
My point? It is all fucking arbitrary. What you consider a' white' person and what another person consider a 'white' person is totally subjective and arbitrary. We are all shades of brown my friend.

You started the thread to complain about people who perceive you as a racist. I'm suggesting that you should look at the way you express yourself. Maybe then you'll come to understand why some people perceive you as a racist.
Yes, I already covered that. I understand why some people may want to see me as racists, but anytime something like that happens, I clarify it for them. But then it still continues. Over the top.
Certain people here need to realize there is more than one acceptable way of expressing ones self, and it has much to do with where you are from.
It just seems to me, the second you say you believe in God on this forum, you are a fundie racist bigot. To me it is nothing more than atheists, and agnostics getting defensive.

You are free to do want you want. But you just like you told me, I should examine why some people see me as racists, actions like that can lead to trouble for you.

Of course. She called the cops so many times on me, that the police told her one more time, that we would have to go to neighbor consoling. That was the last time she called. She called from the very first day I moved in. She would stand in the street and yell at my house when I was playing keyboards. LOL. I should have done the same when she played her organ.
The cop made her apologize for touching my mailbox. She found out the hard way that is a federal offense.

My point is that your "clarification" ain't workin'.

My point is that maybe you should stop playing riVeRraT Knows All on a tiny violin and listen to what people have to say.

Re: Still don't get it?
What properties differentiate a white person from a non-white person?
well since you asked.
there is some genetic evidence that Homo neaderthalensis and Homo sapiens interbred with each other. This interbreeding occured outside of Africa, mostly in west Asia, and Europe.
Sub Saharan Africans do not have this genetic information, because they did not breed with Homo neaderthalensis. So at the very least there is genetic properties that differentiate White people and black people right there.
I got this from here Just a moment...

Can you support that assertion?

I was checking to see if you're really white or just a wannabe. Since you say there are 500 shades of white, I thought you might be a racist with low standards.
