Black people are no more African than I am. But, I do reiterate: no one who thinks of themself as a "hyphenated-American" is a real American.All I know is that to see, and not to speak, would be the great betrayal.

For the record, I love it that Britain has a large Black and Indian population. I love the culture of Blacks and Indians in this country. The favoutite food of the British is Indian food. Both cultures have become an integral part of British life. You should come over to the Notting Hill carnival one August Corporate Whore and see how the whole city turns out to celebrate Black culture.0

Yes, all black people think alike.
MLK Jr. opposed excessive immigration into this country because it lowered wages for black Americans.All I know is that to see, and not to speak, would be the great betrayal.

As far as you're concerned history doesn't matter. I disagree.
And I didn't 'extend' anything.0 -

Undoubtedly, any food is better than British food. I have no doubt.
Hey, if you don't mind sacrificing Britain's heritage so you can adopt a foreign heritage, that's just dandy! I could care less.
I'm not willing to do that, though. I'm proud of what my people have done.All I know is that to see, and not to speak, would be the great betrayal.

Nobody has sacrificed anything. The histories of Britain, Africa, and India are intertwined. Perhaps America and Iraq will become strange bedfellows further down the road!! God forbid! :eek:0 -

Me too!!!!!
No race is superior to any other race. Still, I don't have to let some nationalities into my country if I don't feel like it right? Shouldn't I have some control over who gets to come and who doesn't? Or should my economy be bankrupted simply because I couldn't stop the influx?
Additionally, shouldn't I be proud of what my culture has put forth for the world? Or is that a privilege for minorities?All I know is that to see, and not to speak, would be the great betrayal.

Ok. Your food still sucks.All I know is that to see, and not to speak, would be the great betrayal.

That's just it though. 'Our' food is now the food of the world. But I agree. 'English' food sucks elephant dicks.0 -

So being a Brit, you know who Enoch Powell is then. I figured you would've assumed I'm a "racist" for having a quote from him.All I know is that to see, and not to speak, would be the great betrayal.

Problem is you'd only let in Christians who speak English or rich people and people who vote republican, you said so yourself. It may not be racism but it isn't any better in my opinion.
You do however think Christianity is superior to Islam.Additionally, shouldn't I be proud of what my culture has put forth for the world? Or is that a privilege for minorities?
Your culture is a culture made by immigrants.THANK YOU, LOSTDAWG!

His racism was arguable.All I know is that to see, and not to speak, would be the great betrayal.

I've heard this before and I don't buy it. I live in a college town and the newly immigrated mexicans here are some of the biggests fans of our college football team. 'Taking over the land with their people' is not their priority, trust me. They are hard workers, just trying to get by and they love their families, just like I love mine. My only problem I have with those that are illegal is that big corporations in my area like Wal-Mart and Tyson pay them horribly.CorporateWhore wrote:Greeks are predominantly Christian and can easily be assimilated into American society. They have much in common with Americans because they are Europeans and are well-educated. Third world countries are not.
Mexican and Latinos in general are christians, catholic actually, so what's your point? My relatives that came from Greece were NOT educated. Many come here so their families have access to an education (like my great grandfather).The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance,
but the illusion of knowledge.

I love Indian food! Yummy
I also like to celibrate other cultures. I think one can appreciate and enjoy other cultures without 'losing their idenity'.The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance,

You can be proud of your culture and still respect, appreciate, and enjoy other cultures.The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance,

So you think that racism can be qualified and accepted? Please elaborate.0
