Who is boycotting? Did I say I was boycotting? Did I say I condemn others who choose to purchase German cars? No.
I believe I already pointed out that I choose to abstain due to sensitivity of Holocaust survivors I actually know. I suppose you are too wordly to take into consideration such trivial things as people's feelings. I hope I am never so wordly and thoughtless.
Anyway, I'm done with this thread.
Relax... I'll need some information first. Just the basic facts - can you show me where it hurts?
What's done is done. Way I look at it, under the right circumstances blacks would have enslaved whites, Jews would have massacred Germans, so on and so forth. We're a nasty bunch of people. Clinging to the past will only ensure that we remain nasty.

i like being nasty.
baby ya hustle. but me i hustle harder.
Exactly. Ppl suck in general sometimes, no race or culture is any more innocent than any other. So, might as well simply appreciate what is actually GOOD from each of them. Might even encourage them to do more of same. Kind of reinforcing the positive & ignoring the negative.
(this idea will go over well)
My attempt to encourage the embracement and pride of being racially and culturally mixed apparently took a detour down a political debate. Not exactly what I had in mind when I started this thread.
It is my hope that in the distant future... our descendents will be so mixed with all the colors of the races that they won't be able to tell who's who anymore and will see that other than feeling mildly prideful, ancestry really doesn't matter a whole lot in the present.
Enjoy being a 'mixed breed' for it makes you very unique.
"The weakest soul, knowing its own weakness, and believing this truth that strength can only be developed by effort and practice, will, thus believing, at once begin to exert itself, and, adding effort to effort, patience to patience, and strength to strength, will never cease to develop, and will at last grow divinely strong."

I think your hopes will come true before terribly long. The human species will stop kidding itself with this race nonsense. We'll all have the same light brown skin and almond shaped eyes.
I don't think that will be the end of hate, though. We'll despise each other for being too tall or too short, we'll hate people for being born too far north or south, we'll kill people for wearing green instead of blue. I don't think bigotry is really about race or nationality. I think it's something more than that and I think it's here to stay for a very, very long time.
Maybe we'll figure out a way to seed the stars with our children. Maybe someday we'll be able to board a ship along with all the other peaceful, open-minded folk, and we'll launch that ship somewhere far off and leave the rest of our kind to its own violent devices.

We'll probably all die before any of that.
Yeah right. Keeping separate races is a good thing in my opinion, to some degree, just so far as keeping genetic diversity is concerned. In the US big deal, blacks and whites can marry and make babies, Native Americans and Asians, hispanics and Slavs, whatever. The US is the place for that. But I think it would be a good thing if European ethnicities remained separate, as well as Asian or African ethnicities. Such as French people keep making ethnically French babies and Dutch people keep making ethnically Dutch babies

Oh shiat! *runs like a school girl*
