- inactive, on 05/22/2009, -18/+34According to California Attorney General Jerry Brown's twisted logic, "A ban on discrimination fosters discrimination because it is discrimination against non-whites not to discriminate in their favor."
Steve Sailer has written a follow up article, White Pride is Uncool.
http://digg.com/political_opinion/White_Pride_Is_U ... - freedomjoe, on 05/22/2009, -9/+18Yes, it's horrible that white people were stolen from their families and shipped over to a foreign country to be slaves. the racism against white people world wide is horrific! No matter where you go, the white people are the slaves, the oppressed, the bottom of the social and financial ladder. /s
Only a bitter fool equates losing privilege with racism. - heechee1010, on 05/22/2009, -4/+13Racism has turned full circle in in the attempt to end it. But isn't it strange when slavery is mentioned that everyone forgets that slavery among all peoples was in force for thousands of years. Rome Egypt etc.etc etc
The Arabs where prominent slave traders and were good suppliers to the European nations. - heechee1010, on 05/22/2009, -4/+12Do we punish the children of criminals?
Do we punish the great great great great great grandchildren of criminals?
Of course we don't and it wasn't the ordinary white people who benefited from slavery only the landowners and manufacturers.Slavery actually caused deep poverty for the common people who couldn't compete on wages.
I don't keep slaves so I have nothing to apologise for nor did my father, his father and so on. Now get a life and look forward not backwards. - littlenan, on 05/22/2009, -2/+10They are trying to dig me under. I don't really care. The truth cannot be buried forever.
- littlenan, on 05/23/2009, -0/+8Unfortunately, slavery is still happening in Africa today. However, the slavery is usually between different tribes of black Africans. It is no less slavery because both victim and captor are black.
There was a little 3 year old British girl who vanished 2 years in Portugal. One of the theories which came out was that she may have been captured for use as a house slave by one of these slavers, if she was lucky.
Don't let us forget that there are also female slaves throughout the world, forcebly taken in marriage, often at a very young age, by an often much older man.
They are kept in the husband's home to work, often beaten if the husband or his mother finds a fault. They are not allowed to leave the "husband's" house without a close male relative accompanying them and then only with the permission of their "husband". Forbidden to drive a car. Often cut off from all contact with their parents and siblings.
These slaves lead a lonely, fearful, painful life which can be snuffed out if the husband or the husband's family decide the want her out of the way, perhaps because the wife cannot provide her husband with a son.
Nobody can truthfully say slavery has been abolished. - inactive, on 05/22/2009, -4/+11You beat me to it.
- inactive, on 05/22/2009, -4/+11In many of the most important life events, such as applying to college and applying for a job, you're penalized - and not privileged - for being white.
freedomjoe, give us some example of white privilege (and don't list crap like "It's easier for white people to buy bandages in colors that more or less match their skin.") - inactive, on 05/22/2009, -1/+7What Thomas Jefferson (a President with balls) learned from the Muslim book of jihad
When American colonists rebelled against British rule in 1776, American merchant ships lost Royal Navy protection. With no American Navy for protection, American ships were attacked and their Christian crews enslaved by Muslim pirates operating under the control of the "Dey of Algiers: City"--an Islamist warlord ruling Algeria.
Because American commerce in the Mediterranean was being destroyed by the pirates, the Continental Congress agreed in 1784 to negotiate treaties with the four Barbary States. Congress appointed a special commission consisting of John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin, to oversee the negotiations.
Lacking the ability to protect its merchant ships in the Mediterranean, the new America government tried to appease the Muslim slavers by agreeing to pay tribute and ransoms in order to retrieve seized American ships and buy the freedom of enslaved sailors.
Adams argued in favor of paying tribute as the cheapest way to get American commerce in the Mediterranean moving again. Jefferson was opposed. He believed there would be no end to the demands for tribute and wanted matters settled "through the medium of war." He proposed a league of trading nations to force an end to Muslim piracy.
In 1786, Jefferson, then the American ambassador to France, and Adams, then the American ambassador to Britain, met in London with Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja, the "Dey of Algiers" ambassador to Britain.
The Americans wanted to negotiate a peace treaty based on Congress' vote to appease.
During the meeting Jefferson and Adams asked the Dey's ambassador why Muslims held so much hostility towards America, a nation with which they had no previous contacts.
In a later meeting with the American Congress, the two future presidents reported that Ambassador Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja had answered that Islam "was founded on the Laws of their Prophet, that it was written in their Quran, that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they coul d take as Prisoners, and that every Musselman (Muslim) who should be slain in Battle was sure to go to Paradise."
For the following 15 years, the American government paid the Muslims millions of dollars for the safe passage of American ships or the return of American hostages. The payments in ransom and tribute amounted to 20 percent of United States government annual revenues in 1800.
Not long after Jefferson's inauguration as president in 1801, he dispatched a group of frigates to defend American interests in the Mediterranean, and informed Congress.
Declaring that America was going to spend "millions for defense but not one cent for tribute," Jefferson pressed the issue by deploying American Marines and many of America's best warships to the Muslim Barbary Coast.
The USS Constitution, USS Constellation, USS Philadelphia, USS Chesapeake, USS Argus, USS Syren and USS Intrepid all saw action.
In 1805, American Marines marched across the dessert from Egypt into Tripolitania, forcing the surrender of Tripoli and the freeing of all American slaves.
During the Jefferson administration, the Muslim Barbary States, crumbling as a result of intense American naval bombardment and on shore raids by Marines, finally officially agreed to abandon slavery and piracy.
Jefferson's victory over the Muslims lives on today in the Marine Hymn, with the line, "From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli, we will fight our country's battles on the land as on the sea."
It wasn't until 1815 that the problem was fully settled by the total defeat of all the Muslim slave trading pirates.
Jefferson had been right. The "medium of war"was the only way to put and end to the Muslim problem. Jefferson was a "visionary" wise enough to read and learn about the enemy from their own Muslim book of jihad. - heechee1010, on 05/22/2009, -3/+8Slavery is a thing of the past! And those who seek to gain favour from this dark historical episode should be ashamed of exploiting the suffering of those poor unfortunates.
- inactive, on 05/22/2009, -6/+11You do realize that white people were stolen from their families and shipped to foreign countries as slaves, right?
"From 1500 to 1800, Muslim corsairs captured and enslaved many Europeans: by one estimate, more than a million. Mainly they took captives from the Mediterranean coasts of Italy and Spain, but occasionally they ranged father afield, raiding Cornwall, Ireland, and even Iceland. Most male slaves were worked to death and made little contribution to the gene pool, but women could and often did end up in harems." - excerpt from the book The 10,000 Year Explosion.
The fact people of European descent are better off than people of African descent probably has more to do with innate differences in intelligence than with historical discrimination. - inactive, on 05/22/2009, -1/+6@USArugla - No it does not make slavery in the USA OK either. Why don't you add something of value instead of the hate filled dribble your posting. It’s like you want an excuse to pick a fight.
Before you get your panties in a bunch - something to think about - it was WHITEY that set out to correct the "stain" of slavery from the USA and the rest of the world for that matter. AND DON'T FORGET IT EITHER when you get on your white male bashing tirade, that I have witnessed from you. 600,000 white people DEAD over slavery in the USA alone. I take it that is not good enough for YOU.
And something to always remember when it comes to slavery as of today, Africa is still involved in the slave trade themselves, selling the loosing tribes to the Arabs! Where is YOUR outrage? Huh!
Don't forget about the WHITE (usually Christian) slave trade that is flourishing in the Middle East and here is a hint for you, it’s not the Muslims that are partaking in white slavery over there either. - heechee1010, on 05/22/2009, -5/+9Was it privilege that denied white fire fighters promotion because no minority candidates passed a test? If I held a white achievement and awareness week I would be called a racist or white supremacist so how can any minority group can have one and that's OK. Is that a white privilege?
- 14justice, on 05/22/2009, -2/+5So what?

Racial and immigration policies
At its founding, the BNP was explicitly racist. In October 1990, the BNP was described by the European Parliament's committee on racism and xenophobia as an "openly Nazi party … whose leadership have serious criminal convictions [sic]".[100] When asked in 1993 if the BNP was racist, its deputy leader Richard Edmonds said, "We are 100 per cent racist, yes".[100] Founder John Tyndall proclaimed that "Mein Kampf is my bible".[101] When Nick Griffin became chairman in 1999, the party began to change its stance with regard to racial issues. Griffin claims to have repudiated racism, instead espousing what he calls "ethno-nationalism". He claims that his core ideology is "concern for the well-being of the English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish ethnic nations that compose the United Kingdom".
The BNP publicly disavows any interest in white supremacy, which it defines as the "wish to rule over foreign peoples"; detractors[who?] consider this definition overly narrow. The BNP requires that all members must be members of the "Indigenous Caucasian" racial group.[21] The party does not regard non-white people as being ethnically British, even if they have been born in the UK and are naturalised British citizens. Instead, Griffin has stated that "non-Europeans who stay", while protected by British law, "will be regarded as permanent guests".[102]
The BNP is opposed to mixed-race relationships on the stated ground that racial differences must be preserved; it claims that when a white person produces a mixed-race child, "a white family line that stretches back into deep pre-history is destroyed." Nick Griffin stated: "… while the BNP is not racist, it must not become multi-racist either. Our fundamental determination to secure a future for white children is restated, and an area of uncertainty is addressed and a position which is both principled and politically realistic is firmly established. We don't hate anyone, especially the mixed race children who are the most tragic victims of enforced multi-racism, but that does not mean that we accept miscegenation as moral or normal. We do not and we never will".
The party does however have a half-Turkish Cypriot, half-English councillor in Lawrence Rustem.[103][104] In 2006, Sharif Abdel Gawad, a grandson of an Armenian refugee (also of partial Greek ancestry), was chosen as a council candidate in Bradford. Sharon Ebanks, the BNP's first councillor in Birmingham, has denied claims made by her stepmother, Glenys, that Sharon is mixed race; her black father, Radwell Ebanks, having been born in Jamaica.[105] BNP member Simone Clarke has a mixed-race daughter by a Cuban-Chinese dancer. [106]
The BNP supported Leeds University lecturer Dr. Frank Ellis, who was suspended from his post after stating that the Bell Curve theory "has demonstrated to me beyond any reasonable doubt there is a persistent gap in average black and white average intelligence".[107][108] Ellis called the BNP "a bit too socialist" for his liking and described himself as "an unrepentant Powellite" who would support "humane" repatriation.[109] In April 2006, Sky News confronted the party's national press officer, Phil Edwards (it has been claimed that this is a pseudonym for Stuart Russell[110]) with a tape of a telephone conversation the previous year. On the tape, Russell could be heard to say that "the black kids are going to grow up dysfunctional, low IQ, low achievers that drain our welfare benefits and the prison system and probably go and mug you."[111] He responded: "If I thought I was going to be recorded ... I would not have used such intemperate language, but let’s be honest about it, the facts are there".[112]

And before anyone starts vomiting anti-wikipedia trash, those little numbers in brackets refer to original sources of information. They are linked at the bottom of the article. - inactive, on 05/22/2009, -4/+7"Yes, it's horrible that white people were stolen from their families and shipped over to a foreign country to be slaves"
Looks like freedomjoe's historical knowledge is a bit lacking. Who do you think were the original slaves in this country? Only a fool assumes that the group of people who got into the slavery business late and also brought about its end are uniquely incapable of having been victimized by it. - littlenan, on 05/22/2009, -17/+20What a twisted, pathetic idiot.
I thought, in the land of the free, everybody had to be treated EQUALLY!!!
VOTE BNP on 4th JUNE
Get some equality back for the indigenous people of this land. We are the 2nd class people in the UK. - littlenan, on 05/22/2009, -7/+10White Europeans were enslaved by Africans long before Africans were enslaved by white Europeans.
More than 1 million Europeans were abducted and enslaved by North African pirates from 1530 and 1780. The African pirates made a series of raids to abduct these European slaves. According to new research they captured so many people that all coastal towns from Cornwall in England to Sicily were depopulated.
There were also many thousands of white Christians who were seized each year to be used as galley slaves on ships, to work as labourers and women were enslaved as concubines for the Muslim Chiefs in the countries which are today Algeria, Libya, Morocco, Tunisia.
However, we got over it and pulled ourselves up by our bootstraps.
I reckon we are all owed an apology at least. - inactive, on 05/31/2009, -0/+2nan,
That’s all they have. They can’t refute you so they must try to hide the painful truth. - QiJiGuang, on 05/22/2009, -16/+18Racism is working the other way now, in full swing.
This is f*cking unbelievable. - inactive, on 05/31/2009, -0/+2Do you think I can bookmark that site without getting on Obama's list of suspected terrorists?
- inactive, on 05/22/2009, -11/+12American Renaissance is a terrific site.
http://amren.com/ - inactive, on 05/22/2009, -10/+11We too are 2nd class citizens in the USA.
- freedomjoe, on 05/23/2009, -7/+3yes, my history must be lacking. I don't recall white people being owned by black people in this country. Please refresh my memory on that before you talk about racism against white people being the equivalent of the quantifiable racism against black people in this country.
- AgeofMastery, on 05/22/2009, -12/+8Probably because it isn't true.
- andreegal, on 05/23/2009, -6/+1Owwww this is cute
- USArugula, on 05/22/2009, -11/+5And that somehow makes the stain of slavery on the US somehow ok?
