Is your midwestern upbringing really a comparison to generations of abuse slaves suffered and the discrimination post slavery?
[More stuff about slavery …][/quote]Actually none of the minorities in my office are black, so slavery has nothing to do with it.
But don’t let that stop you from passing judgment based upon generalities and assumptions. It’s all in the spirit of affirmative action.

Participant[quote=surveyor]russell:
It would be a mistake to characterize my reporting of the facts on the characteristics, beginnings, and development of a jihadist as an approval of the treatment of Japanese Americans in World War II (or any indiscriminate treatment of individuals due to their color, creed or religion).
I have never advocated that position before, now, or ever, especially as an Asian American myself.[/quote]
Are you saying that because you are Asian American you can not be bigoted? Because I am Irish American I can’t be? In any case, I apologize if I am reading you wrong. I guess we will be finding hiding places and marching together in defense of our Muslim friends, aquaintances and strangers if paranoia takes over and interferes with the normal paths of re-education on acculturalization of this wave of immigrants and their children.

Participantonce again
Once again, dan, you fail to understand that I am only telling what the jihadists say and what they are basing it on. To say that I hold those same sentiments and to again call me a bigot is very dishonest of you.
But you can call me a bigot all you want it doesn’t change what the jihadists have been saying or doing.
It’s similar to calling a cop or a reporter a serial killer when the cop or reporter is just describing the motivations and the origins of the serial killer.
But you know, you can’t dispute the facts, so you attack the person. Ad hominem. But like I say, it does not change the facts of the story nor does it change the validity of my arguments.
