Before you say yes as a kneejerk reaction, yes I'm crass I know that and my wife hates it so I tone it down for her. Btw, she's white (German), I'm Native American, my adopted daughter is Eurasion. I was floored when a guy said "my racist remarks." If he means about muzzies those are hateful not racist. Invaders? I've been in the belly of the beast so to speak and it isn't pretty.

There's no such thing as racism.

There's no such thing as a while man or woman

There's no such thing as a black man or woman

There is however, a remarkable number of stupid ass people in the world.

99% of people use the term wrongly..

Racism is a fictional construct that can be used to arbitrarily divide us into "tribes"....

Muslims are not a race... And, having heard of your experience with them, I rarely find your comments hateful.... Though we certainly have different perspectives...

Except that Liberals spell it Raaaaaciiiiiiism! and use it to describe any behavior of which they disapprove. You don't like wetbacks sneaking into our country? You're a Raaaaaciiiiiist!. I wonder which race of Hispanics they refer to? The ones who are more Caucasian than me?

Artificial construction.... Yep...

The right does it too.... But to a much lesser degree...

Lt. I find your posts to be insightful not racial. In a fox hole, on a tower or line, in a convoy or foot patrol there is no such thing as race. Only brothers covering brothers.

There's no such thing as racism.

The instinct to favor the members of your own genetic tribe is purely instinctual.

The idea that your genetic tribe is superior to others is no different than a professional football team being coached to believe they are superior to their rival team.

And all men are NOT equal.

I know a good number of men who are better than me.

Your examples are contradictory as well... Is it nature or nurture?

Certainly men are not equal...

I believe there's only ONE race, the HUMAN race. However each one of us is born with what the Bible refers to as the 'sarcs', which by some is referred to a sin nature. Children very rarely have to be taught to do the wrong thing. They need their parents and teachers to learn to rise above the 'old sin nature.'
If it weren't for skin color, sinful man would have found something else to discriminate against others about and I can think of a whole litany of items I've seen people discriminated about and against: being Jewish or Moslem comes to mind first. But there are some things we SHOULD discriminate against. Who are your friends? Are they active felons waiting to pounce on their next victim, or are they wholesome people who are caught in the rat race, going to work every day and trying to hold onto what they've earned? Do you condone bad behavior, or are you a good example?

Nature and instinct are entirely different terms.

I see no contradiction in my comments.

I think any fair minded person would agree the word racism is over used and abused but I must add when it comes to the bastardization of the word racism the demonrats take the crown

This statement...

Genetic tribe would be referencing nature...

Coaching would be referencing nurture...

No?
