Hello StoneByStone,
'Social trust?' What's that?
It's the trust within a community, often including trust between people who never met before. In Japan, there are bars where, when people walk in, they drop their phones off on the side of the bar. Anyone can easily steal someone else's phone, but this rarely happens because Japan has very high social trust. Part of the reason for that is that Japan is over 90% Japanese.
White 'PEOPLE?' It's not white people who are killing themselves. It's white MEN. This is often attributed to loss of dominance as women displace men in breadwinner roles.
Actually, suicide is up among white women too. The changing of gender roles is upsetting plenty of men, but the skyrocketing of suicide and alcoholism is probably about forced racial integration.
The only politicians which are playing whites against blacks are not getting my vote. The polarization in our society is a result of capitalism and greed.
I was referring to the polarization between Conservatives and Liberals. That's also a result of Capitalism, but when social trust is low, it's easier for politicians to do things like that
We elected a black president. Not once, but twice. That is a huge assimilation box checked. If the rest of society is still catching up, then we simply need to give it more time and keep helping it along. Obviously, we are doing some right things which are having the desired effect. Just like equal voting rights, the fact that we are seeing some results does not always mean we need to stop doing what is producing those results.
We elected Obama because black people, who never voted before and don't follow politics, showed up in huge numbers to vote for a guy they knew nothing about. The election of Obama was a perfect example of Blacks still not thinking in terms of being American. They see themselves as Blacks living in America, and so they'll support the black guy because he's black.
What is IQ level but a measure of what has been learned. Not ability to learn.
Reverse that. IQ does measure ability to learn, not simply what someone knows. Take an IQ test sometime, you'll see that they ask you logic questions and have you do puzzles.
It's a movie. It's fictional. It's entertainment. Imaginary. Not a true story. Also, it is a totally messed up movie. I have not watched it, and would not do so. I read a sum-up of the plot. It's totally bizarre. Gory. It is a sick movie. Of course white racism still exists, but I will never agree that it 'is everywhere.'
Yes, it's fictional, but it presents itself as a fictional dramatization of racism in America. It's propaganda, of course it's entertainment. "Birth of a Nation" was fiction too, but it helped shape how people thought about the KKK. That's how propaganda works. It uses entertainment to condition people.
You might not have fallen for these anti-white movies, but a lot of people do. "Get Out" has been celebrated as a "brave" and "daring" look at racism in America. People are falling for this.
You don't think white racism exists?
It does, but in extremely small amounts. And it's not systematic like anti-white racism is.
Most racism is whites disparaging blacks. That's the major racism problem in the USA. Reverse racism exists, but is not a large problem, so we don't see media reports on that very much.
See, that's the narrative people believe because of movies like "Get Out" and "The First Purge." But it's not true.
Because it is a problem which hurts our society in a significant way.
If that was the case, why are pro-white groups, no matter how moderate, so hated in America? Jared Taylor is considered a White Supremacist simply for saying that white people should have freedom of association. If this alleged white racism is so common, shouldn't White Nationalists be an accepted political party in America?
I am not going to address this because you are responding to your own post, which is a bit creepy. Are the two of us in a conversation, or are you having one with yourself? Your post presents a quote of your own, ostensibly presented as if you were responding to something I said. Only I didn't say it. That is disingenuous at best. Please don't post your own quotes in a way that makes it look like I said it. I am hoping this was a mistake.
The quote I was responding to was something you said about white people being on top. I was pointing out that, by most measurements, white people are not on top.
