Fight Anti-arab Racism

We must not turn a blind eye to the racism that perpetuates the American war machine. We must see that the people of the Middle East are not the "primitive savages" that the White House and the media portray them as. We must recognize that we have a greater connection with the working people of Iraq than we do to the old money millionaires and billionaires that instigate and perpetuate these imperialist wars. We need to join arms with the Arabs and other oppressed minorities and fight to smash racism if we are ever going to smash imperialism and end the wars that take so many of our friends and families.

  • I bet a lot of seniors would enjoy Syria. Hell, it's warm all the time.

    Specially when they attack Israel.

    We should fight against racism against Arabs. We should fight all racism. I don't understand why this needs to be specified. But I guess I fight against any racism is important.

    No...

    Obviously. And I had lots of problems with what was said in the flier. I just wasn't aiming to start a debate.

    If you look at my post though you'll see it was edited. I took out the more confrontational part but could always put it back in if that would make you feel better, because I see from your other posts how much you like confrontation.

    Right. Racism = bad. I totally agree. But the flier lost me with the socialist workers party mumbo jumbo. Smash imperialism, imperialist wars, join arms, etc...

    You mean Braves fan? Well, for a long time it would have made me sad. Not this year.

    The reason I didn't post anything confrontational was because I wasn't sure what the original poster thought about the flier.

    I personally think its totally warped. Fighting racism is good. But... well... it seems to leave out all the blind hatered for our country in the ME.

    not aimed at anyone here..


    But when they stop blowing each other up because 1 believes in another chapter of the same book, or stop kidnapping fuckin school techers, or stop killing ppl aiming to better thier country, or stop killing little christian girls to avenge muslims,.....only then will the word "savage" not describe them IMO.

    Say I'm generalizing all you want, but show me some good "muslims" or "arabs" are doing. Please show me.

    He said the kid brought it home from school. He did not say the school distributed it.

    No doubt. Just this week alone I've brought home two fliers pretaining to different religious events, and two others that hand to do with some bands performing at some club.

    Didn't think of that possibility. Must have been the caucasian club distributing those.

    I hope you are kidding with this. You really dont believe there are no good muslims, do you? You fucking scare me.

    C'mon he's obviously talking about extremists and insurgents who have no qualms with killing a completely innocent person.

    "you're full of shit"

    ??? that was a pretty quick judgement. Full of shit? My son is a Freshman at a large college. Have you been to a college campus? Are you familiar with free speech or youthful idealism, or education and investigation and understanding?

    The fact is, with the exception of the phrase "join arms with the Arabs" I found the statement to be spot on. It would have been much more credible had it said "Join hands with the Arabs" which is how I interpret it.

    We have dehumanized a huge group of people - and seem to be clinging to that right with all the ignorance and hatred that we can muster.

    It is so disheartening to read at this message pit.

    Like i said. Please show me any type of info/story/ of what good they are doing for each other, or anyone around them in that part of the world.

    Assumptions "just for the hell of it" scare me.
