Bored at work (my students are in exams). I posted this in one thread but thought it might get more exposure here. I always rag on Dave's members for their barely-veiled racist comments, but after reading this site (haven't visited in a while because it makes my blood boil), I kind of want to hug you guys. Embarassed

One of my sociologist friends passed this link on to me a few years back and I've never forgotten it as an emblem of the irrational hatred that still exists in my home country.

It's called Stormfront.org, the largest white supremacy forum on the internet. You can browse around to your liking, but I thought that these topics might be good starters:

What's it like to teach blacks?: http://www.stormfront.org/forum/showthread.php?t=615235

Stormfront in USA Today: http://www.stormfront.org/forum/showthread.php?t=533421

How we get brainwashed: http://www.stormfront.org/forum/showthread.php?t=432084

I'm stuck with a black roommate, help!: http://www.stormfront.org/forum/showthread.php?t=613147

Anyone else here have black friends?: http://www.stormfront.org/forum/showthread.php?t=213624

Why so many asian news women in the USA?: http://www.stormfront.org/forum/showthread.php?t=567021

They claim to be "different" than their predecessors, since they want to have intelligent, history and fact-based discussions about why they are better than other skin colors.

Happy reading, folks.

I think it was RACETRAITOR who used to put quotes from storm-front side-by-side with quotes by Dave's.

Hard to tell which was which sometimes.

This - http://martynemko.blogspot.com/2009/06/white-teacher-speaks-out-what-is-it.html - was a very interesting read. It would be very interesting to get the perspective of a black teacher teaching at a low-income predominantly white school and compare.

"One of your sociologist friends"? You have enough friends who are sociologists to warrant that? Nice. I also like the faint suggestion that you read the Stormfront forums, not in order to feel progressive and superior, but as some sort of impartial sociological analysis of "irrational hatred".

You read too much into it. I meant one of my friends who is a sociologist, not that I have a multitude of them to choose from. I wish I did, but sadly, no.

I read them because it's like a trainwreck that you can't take your eyes off of and because it's fascinating to try to understand why some people feel the way they do about racism.

I know a man who taught at a black school in Texas. The link you posted is exactly identical to his rantings to me. Exactly. Even the sucking the teeth in contempt part.

OP! Watch your linguistic sexism. Very Happy

I've always found the topic of white supremacy fascinating/eye opening. One of my favorite reads is Peggy McIntosh's articled called "The Invisible Knapsack."

http://www.nymbp.org/reference/WhitePrivilege.pdf

Another interesting read is "Why are all the black kids sitting together in the cafeteria" by Beverly Daniel Tatum. Bold book, highly recommended.

Enjoy.

In particular I liked it when the black student "ventured to explain" that his friend "gotta get dat green, get dem females".

It would be so much better if everyone were colorblind--like Stephen Colbert!

Some interesting facts:

* black families are generally poorer than whites and Asians because black families are more likely to not have a father present. Asians are the most likely to have a father present and this is a major reason for Asian families being the richest. When comparing individuals (and not families), there's a lesser disparity

* the median age for blacks is lower than for nonblacks. People generally earn more as they age. Comparing blacks and whites of the same age group would be more useful than gross statistics. Asians and whites have a higher median age and this is a major reason why blacks are the poorest.

* Louisiana has a higher murder rate than most third world countries

* The Muslim world (1,500 million people) has a lower GDP than Japan

Groups' values are the answer. Race is not only irrelevant but nonexistent

And these are just 2 of the huge number of disadvantages black people are born into. Sad really. Ethnicity/race TRULY is nonexistent. Just think about it this way: let's say you're white--you could be genetically more similar to person X (black) than person Y (white). It all comes down to socioeconomic differences.
