slamdunkt, I hope you will indulge me and tell me why it is that you think I am not the original author of the posts to this site.

Chem Kim- When you want to have an actual discussion we can do so. The rants you text (or copy) are without context, validity and truth, they are merely a rant about ideology and all full of nothing more than rhetoric.. (blah, blah, blah.. yada yada yada).. If you want to have a serious conversation with some one I may add, try utilizing fact, writing your own words and making a point.. Not some fairy tale rant.

It is important for non-white people to realize that Racism (White Supremacy) runs on percentages just like any profitable business. So, non-white people should not be mislead by the small percentage of non-white people who have lots of things nor by the small percentage of ???white casualties??? who seem to be lacking the basic things. Both of these phenomena are showcased to confuse the victims of Racism (White Supremacy)---all non-white people---- so that non-white people do not even know that they are subject to this supreme system. This is the most refined and dangerous stage of the system. However, it has the disadvantage for the racists (white supremacists) in that it requires more work to keep victims form seeing the Oz behind the curtain. I suspect that as the cost of doing business goes up, practicing racism (white supremacy) is getting to be less and less fun for the white people who engage in it.

Logically, the definition of -racism- must follow from the definition of ???race-. Persons who self-organize as the white race decide who is and is not a member of that MASTER organization. This master organization, the white race, TOLD AND DEMONSTRATED to people who formerly classified themselves by their tribes that they were NOT white and that their tribe was of no significant importance.

Definitions should not promote confusion but should reveal truth. The basic tools that hold white supremacy together are: 1) the deceitful use of words, and 2) violence. Racists (white supremacists) do not take kindly to their victims tampering with their preferred tool: words. Violence is messy and expensive.


There are three basic categories of people under the system of white supremacy: 1) non-white people; 2) white people, and; 3) racists (white supremacists).

The only FUNCTIONAL form of racism in the known universe is white supremacy. [There is not and there should never be any system of black, yellow, red, etc. supremacy] Further, in reality, non-white people are not self-organized anymore than are cell blocks in a prison. Prisoners are permitted and/or encouraged to take pride in their place in the prison rather than to focus on the uncomfortable fact that they are being held in prison.

-Race- is a construct. A construct serves a purpose. The construct of race ,(-racialism- as it is called in so-called South Africa) ,has served no advantageous purpose for persons who are not classified as white. The construct of ???race- has no other functional purpose than the practice of white supremacy. Promoting the idea that there is more than one race promotes the falsehood that anyone can practice ???racism- and that everyone, and not just the White Supremacists, is responsible for the disastrous relationship between white and non-white people.

Many black/non-white people have blood relatives and friends who could pass for white but who are classified as non-white. Many black people/non-white people have close associates and church members who ARE white. Black/nonwhite people, generally do not have animosity toward any person because he/she appears to be "white." The animosity, when held, is caused by a well founded suspicion that such persons are Racists (White Supremacists). It is interesting that advocating for a system of justice is called, by some persons who classify themselves as white, ???hate mongering-.

Chem Kim-
You have been to one to many "pass the blame" and "let???s blame whitey" seminars. Your entire argument is fictitious and absurd and borders on insanity. Obviously you have been a student of black theology where they place their failures on the backs of fellow races. Why not as a race of people (the blacks) embrace their country that has given them every opportunity to succeed? Why would you continue to lambaste the country your from (if in fact your an American?) Be proud of the fact that we as a nation have allowed a person of color to be the president, take that open hand offered you by the 76% majority (that being the white population) and join in to combat the problems that lie ahead..to solve the black problems troubling this country. Not fabricating problems with twisted, illogical ideology that you got from the mouths of hate mongers and counter racists bent on black supremacy.

slamdunkt asked me, -Are you saying you think ???Racism- is to blame for the lack of a solid education for many blacks?- If by ???solid- you mean ???correct-, the answer is, -yes.- The prison makers and prison guardians are responsible for EVERYTHING that their prisoners experience including everything that the prisoners do or do not do to themselves. The system of Racism (white supremacy), in its present refined state, is an open-air prison much like a game preserve or a very well done animal park. The system of racism (white supremacy) operates in every area of people activity including economics, education, entertainment, labor, law, politics, religion, sex, and war. Slamdunkt, you say that the system does not exist. You ask for proof that it does. I look at the conditions in which nonwhite people live all over the world and see nothing but proof (and that is exactly what I think any life form that is at least as intelligent as homosapiens would see when orbiting this planet). Yet, I am aware that a prisoner???s proof has only as much functional validity as the prison makers/ guardians determine.

The system of Racism (white supremacy) has not yet been replaced by a system of justice exists because the people who have the ability to accomplish this do not yet have the will AND because the people who have the will to accomplish it do not yet have the ability. Slamdunkt, you called my definition of ???justice- -utopian-. If by ???utopian- you mean impossible, I say that the fact that something has not yet been done is not evidence that it cannot be done.

Chem-Kim-
Are you saying you think "Racism" is to blame for the lack of a solid education for many blacks? What data do you have to prove that theory? I taught inner city and I am white and don???t have a racist bone in my body and I can tell you from what I have seen (And I have been in the trenches as Obama says) the problem isn???t racism at all, its parental involvement and expected failure from blacks within the system. Your utopian explanation of "justice" is irrational as is your personal beliefs about racism (which is also expected by black Americans but is actually not even there). Fact is there is little to no racism in this country, the black plight was brought on by their own decisions and their own judgment calls.. Every time this topic surfaces we blame racism and don???t point the finger where it actually belongs and that is right back to the black populace. Take responsibility for your own actions and stop attempting to blame every "whoa" that the race has on perceived "racism".. Playing the race card has become so easy that the American populace no longer seriously even considers it. It???s like the boy calling wolf to often.. No one believes it anymore.
our Comment

Slamdunkt: I agree that there is a small percentage of black students who both want AND get a good education. I agree that most of the black students who get good grades are getting them at inferior schools and, hence, the grades do not indicate the same level of achievement that they would at school where most of the students are white. And, if one looks at the global picture and not just the showcasing of the small number of ???Asians??? who reside in areas of the world where most of the people are white, what can be said of ???black??? people???s education can be said of all nonwhite peoples education. We do not know what we need to know.

The smartest people could fix the problem. These people are the smartest of those who practice the global system of racism (white supremacy). Since these people believe that racism (white supremacy) is better than justice, they have, of course, chosen not to fix the problem.

Justice = a system encompassing the known universe in which no one is mistreated and in which, if any help is given, it is always given to the persons who need the most help.

Justice and the system of racism (white supremacy) cannot simultaneously exist.
