I find it amusing how minorities are now attempting to band together against white people. self hating white people can't stop instilling the mindset that the system is rigged against them, when that is not true at all. Minorities themselves do not even get along with each other. Lol.

As for South Africa, I do think it's time white people left. Even with the help of colonialism Africa is a complete and utter failure. Let the black people have SA so they can run it into the ground just like every other African country.

They've been there since 1652 , where would you like them to go back to?

I don't care where they go. My point was if white people left, SA will become more garbage than it already is.
That would depend on whether or not those white people would be leaving their claims to SA's natural resources behind as well.

And to the OP: No. That's like the most un-progressive idea ever.

That is what I thought as well. It almost seems that if you go far enough left you will find yourself on the far right.

So then you recommend we make zero theories about anything we cannot see with our own eyes? Simply live in the dark until someone enlightens us?

Tell me, which theory has more reasonable likelyhood, given what we know about human nature, and pre-industrial civilizations: a) there were statistically meaningful unrecorded conflicts in prerecorded Asiatic, American, and African cultures, or b) there were no statistically meaningful unrecorded conflicts in prerecorded Asiatic, American, and African cultures
I know I like meat. I know I don't like being hungry. So when I see tool marks on human bones I know I'm looking at the work of cannibals. Have you got it yet? Think of me as a wise man and you as an ignorant person. I'm telling you to be wary of the assumptions you make because our unconscious assumptions are what create our bias.

One great difficulty in absorbing this lesson common among ignorant people is that they often react defensively to the notion they are ignorant. For example, they may become all testy and imply that you are telling them never to think at all. A wise person will draw a different lesson. He or she will bow down to a wise person like me and send them a check. This is because we do not value what we pay for. If you do not want to pay by check consider this public humiliation the price you paid for wisdom. And don't worry. A cargo ship full of vast riches arrives at my port once a day.

Always assume the best because even there you'll fall short. For example, you've been living in the dark and somebody just enlightened you. The better question is, does it help? Can you see it for what it is?

Big surprise, a progressive racist bigot writing for the Huffington Post wants white folks, especially white men men to shut up and do as they're told. Pretty typical liberal mindset.

I don't have an issue with South Africa doing this. White people in South Africa need to face the facts that they're not welcome and are only setting their children up to a life of rape and murder by staying. I remember seeing a study once (but I've never been able to find it since fwiw so it could have been bullshit) saying that South African white immigrants were the single most successful ethnic group in America. They can come here.

Would you like her to shut up and do as she's told. And when did doing as you're told become a bad thing? You are obviously an irrational and therefore potentially self destructive person. We have a thing in society called protective custody where your rights as a person can be taken away. It's just a small step from that for any rational mind to see that conservatives are killing the nation. Why shouldn't you be put away. People like you made those rules to protect society from dangerous mental instability. And every time you go after one they run emphatically denying they're insane.

Doubtless why Israel needs to be moved to Arizona.

I think you missed the whole gist of what's going on here...perhaps even which country we're talking about. Besides, isn't the whole "liberals as Boogeyman" thing played out already? Trump won, and the world can all see the talk radio cuckservative hypocrisy at work now...

You might have missed earlier in the thread where we predicted this would happen. "Help, white people are oppressed! The wealthiest, most powerful demographic with centuries of oppressive behavior under its belt is oppressed!"

The article shot itself in the foot with its incendiary concept, but crying "racism" is amusing when the writer even makes a point about the lopsided white ownership of wealth in South Africa. Anything to avoid self-analysis and doubt, I see!

Yeah, fuck wealth man. Take more farms back and slit more throats. Only then will there be equality.

That's not what she's arguing for... I do think she's making a tenuous claim to legally forcing a transfer of wealth, but not violence.

I was talking about what you were arguing, which is that a disproportionately wealthy population cannot become victim of racism due to their wealth.

"Help, the Jews are oppressed! The wealthiest, most powerful demographic with centuries of oppressive behavior under its belt is oppressed!"

Success is usually an ideal way to get the common thug riled up and ready to plunder. Doesn't even have to be directly about race, just look at the Kulaks or Pol Pot's Cambodia for examples. In the case of South Africa, I can admit that a lot of that wealth ultimately would not have existed without apartheid, so I admit that white people should probably just lick their wounds and go someplace whiter.

This may be a weird thing to say, but honestly when you think about the worst humanitarian atrocities the world has faced in the last 500 years, the all-star team in this regard is being led by one race.

You mean the human race? I agree, the worst crimes in human history were caused by humans....

Somehow you are missing that he's gonna be fluffing Trump for his entire life or the next Trumptard. CBD is impossible to cure.

Yes, but in this case the proper perspective would be, "is it ethical to use and take advantage of the finding of illegal, inhuman scientific experiments carried out by the Nazis?" At least, that is the cultural perspective they have. They had a unique culture all their own and ever since colonialism, their culture has NOT been their own.

Are they being ignorant and irrational? Yes. But you have to walk a mile in their shoes to understand where they are coming from. And simply labeling them as irrational or stupid or even hateful will achieve nothing.

As in all things, one must be VERY mindful that simply throwing facts and insults at a "true believer" who is fully emotionally invested only results in a strong backlash effect.
You just described the situation of alot people who voted for trump yet instead of applying the logic in your post most of the left just labeled them as deplorables.

That was obviously wrong but how do you make a retard be unretarded when we due to politics have defunded education, civics and science to the point where Alex Jones batshit insane theories are parroted as the truth against the actual truth.

Legally forcing wealth transfer is using violence.

So, since the Trump administration is trying to force a wealth transfer through policies designed to lighten the burden on the rich and increase the burden on the poor, they're being violent and we can forcibly remove them from office? Great!
