Originally posted by SunSpace View PostWell, I'm not a racist,
but I am against racism and thus against Trump. Also, I'm Spanish (White), African (Black), Taino Indian (Native American) and more.
I say more because it's documented that Arabs took over Spain from the year AD 711 until 1492. Not to mention that all sorts of other European people were in and around Puerto Rico throughout history, as well as Indians (from the actual country India) and even Chinese, etc.
In other words, I'm probably half the world into one person, from a strictly modern, "racial" view of things. It would make no sense for me to discriminate against anybody, let alone White people; it would be ridiculous actually, considering that I'm in a relationship with a White woman from the U.S.
How would all that add together?
Moreover, the reality is that, beyond skin color and other minor, superficial traits, there is no scientific evidence of there being any differences between humans at all.
The idea of "race" itself doesn't hold true in the way people as yourself think it does. In actuality, it's merely a social construct that means, for all practical purposes, nothing.
Whether you like it or not, we're all related. Scientific and historical discovery has shown how we traveled from Africa to all the different locations we are now. The changes in skin color and the sort are merely adaptations to the environments we settled in. They mean nothing.
That's why it's preposterous, in my opinion, for anyone to believe they're superior to another human being, whether it's by "race" or nationality.
We're all simply Earthlings.
Whether you like it or not, you're Black, too. We all are. Discriminating against people because of their skin tone is akin to dismissing crayons because each one looks different. There's nothing underneath that. You can color just as well with a brown crayon as you can with a white one.
Let's go color.

In other words mystery meat.
Mystery meat in a relationship with a mudshark.
Bull****. There are major biological differences between the races and skin color is one of the least important.
More nonsense.
They mean a lot and explain a lot.
Being a member of a race does not automatically make you superior to members of other races. That being said, there are huge differences in racial averages.
White people are entitled to their own countries just as non-whites are. Agree or disagree?
Look, I realize that, coming from you, chances are that you won't look at my multiracial background with pride, but leave the person I'm with out of it. Insulting her is a cheap-shot, and I'll refuse to debate you on anything if you stoop that low. You're acting like those Harry Potter villains, going around calling people "mudbloods" or "bloodtraitors" because they're in an interracial relationship. Have some decency.
In any case, we've already had this debate before; I was able to substantiate the lack of significant racial differences, and I provided evidence of historical progress from varied ethnicities.
Remember that debate? Where you continued to claim Black people learned how to build boats from White people? I disproved it.
The truth is that you have nothing to back up all of your claims. If you do, provide it. I'll debate you on that again, if you wish, but leave the name-calling out of it.

Are white people entitled to our countries? Yes or no? I'm guessing no.

And I told you that I'm White, as well.
I also already stated that everyone deserves to be everywhere, sharing the world. It belongs to everybody. That is an answer to your question.
As to science, I've shown you a lot of it in the past, and here you still are taking all these bigoted stances on race. If you want to debate, go ahead and show me your proof. I'll disprove it.Last edited by SunSpace; 11-10-2016, 07:28 PM.
