You know there was pretty much 0% white race in China when that region was the most scientifically advanced in the world for several hundred years. How the hell did that happen without “white” people?

And as for Christopher Columbus and his men “going hog wild” for Native Girls, I think the correct term you are looking for is “raped”. You see, Columbus himself reported that he could easily get volunteers from Spain with the promise of Native girls as personal sex slaves. And I do mean “girls” literally, because he reported that the most desired were around 9 or 10 years of age.

You may be pleased however, to learn that I can help you understand the “left-wing” bias of academia. You see, facts tend to have a bias toward the “left-wing”, which has historically put science, inquiry, and criticism ahead of rigidly following old dogma, usually based on religious ideology. The fact is that conservative ideas are espoused all the time in mainstream universities across America(especially in business schools), but when conservative narratives are subjected to critical inquiry, when we look at the facts and not idealistic, faux-nostalgic clap-trap, lo’ and behold, the picture of a lovely Pleasantville America is rent to pieces. Should academics be blamed if facts lead them away from conservative narratives?

“Yes Benji. I am prejudice and proud of it. I have standards. Apparently. You don’t. All I want is to see Americans given a chance to decide on interracial and interfaith marriages.
I think I have a solution. Let the citizens of every decide to recognize or not to recognize these types of marriages, including denying benefits to these types of couples.”

Well it’s really hard to respond to this, but a part of me appreciates the fact that you just come right out and admit your prejudice, as opposed to doing the typical, “NO Y’ALL LIBRULS ARE THE REAL RACISTS” and so forth.

Here’s the problem with your little “solution” and your “standards”. You have standards? Fine. Don’t marry someone of another faith, don’t marry someone of the same sex, and don’t marry someone of another “race” as you define it. Nobody is forcing you to marry anyone from those three groups.

But you have got to be seriously confused if you think you have the right to use the force of the US government to tell other people who they may marry and live with. What do you think would happen if we had a referendum tomorrow- voting on whether or not the US should make an exception to the 1st Amendment and ban publications by people who espouse your views? Don’t they have the “right” as you say? Nobody ever got a chance to vote on the 1st Amendment, so now according to your logic maybe there needs to be a referendum on whether freedom of speech should apply to folks like you.

Somehow I don’t think you would find that to be just.

And if you think America is such a screwed country, you have little to blame but yourself(a white male racist homophobe blaming HIMSELF? WHAT A CONCEPT!). People like you followed every demagogic scapegoating line of propaganda for decades, diligently searching for hidden conspiracies while you ignored your own material interests.

All I want is the right to vote on the issue. If the people of Georgia are fine with it. Let them bear the consequences of thier beliefs. That’s all I’ve got to say on the subject.

The legality of interracial marriage is a settled issue. In Loving vs. Virginia, the Supreme Court ruled that interracial marriage cannot be restricted. I also live in GA. to my knowledge, there is currently no law in GA that prohibits interfaith marriages. GA already has a law in place similar to DOMA, which prohibits gay marriage. Where have you been that you’re still advocating for social issues that have already been resolved or are trivial? Neither gay marriage, interfaith marriages, nor interracial marriage is a concern of mine. I would think that someone who is a member of a party that claims it believes in freedom would not believe in taking away the freedoms of others. If one does, that makes him/her a hypocrite because his/her actions son’t match his/her words.

I don’t agree with Concerned Citizen on much, but the nude photo story is actually true, and happened at a number of Ivy League and Seven Sisters colleges between the 1930s and 1960s. It was still happening at Harvard and Radcliffe through 1961. The claim was that these were posture pictures, but later studies advance the view that it was done as anthropological research, possibly attempting to advance eugenics goals. There was a major article in the NYTimes magazine section by Ron Rosenbaum on Jan. 15, 1995, and I think a Google search on Harvard nude pictures will show Wikipedia and other sources. Just because something sounds horrifying and is stated by someone with whom you profoundly disagree, doesn’t mean, as in this terrible case, that it isn’t true. (If I remember correctly, the posture pictures at Radcliffe were taken with the subject behind a screen, which meant that only a silhouette was seen, but I think most places these really were direct frontal nude pictures.

I see that you are genuinely concerned that USA becoming a ‘mish mash’ society is a bad idea, but you haven’t stated any reasons for this concern (beyond the obvious fact that you don’t like it). Can you point to some REAL problems this has caused? For example, has living in a mish mash society injured you or anybody else?

And an interesting fact for Concerned Citizen to ignore:
1) “77% of Americans say they approve of marriages between blacks and whites”
-http://www.gallup.com/poll/28417/Most-Americans-Approve-Interracial-Marriages.aspx

Of course according to concerned citizen the poll is fake and it’s all part of the secret liberal, Jewish, communist, black, hispanic, arab, (did I miss any one, Alpha Centaurians perhaps?) plot to discredit National Socialism and Facism. Any way, since you (the racists and segregationists) are in the minority, does that mean that we (the non-racists and anti-segregationists) have the right to vote that you can’t get married, ever. By your logic, I guess that it means we do.

All those in favor say “aye”. All opposed, “nay”.

I vote nay.

For example, Skull and Bones is at Yale, not Harvard. The slave with whom Thomas Jefferson is alleged by some historians to have had an affair was Sally Hemings, not Henning, and no historian, not even the fact-impaired dominionist Dave Barton, claims he married her.

“All I want is to see Americans given a chance to decide on interracial and interfaith marriages.” Well, look around and that’s exactly what you’ll see – each American does have a choice, not like the days when Jim Crow laws prohibited “miscegenation.” I’m guessing the reinstatement of that kind of state-sanctioned discrimination is what you really “want to see.”

“Harvard is also know to be an institution were students are supposed to have thir pictures taken in the nude for some unknown reasons.” Did you actually read this ludicrous lie somewhere, or is it just the voices in your head talking?

Keep up the good work.

We are mixed blood – Native American, African American, and white.

People who talk liked “Concerned Citizen” forced us (personally) out of jobs, threw us out of a church (and drove us out of another), and created misery for us – just because we’re mixed blood and not white. I know the type well.

I’m proud of my Native American and African American ancestors. The white ancestors? People like Concerned Citizen make me ashamed of my white ancestors. They also almost make me ashamed of Christ.

I can say even more about the dominionists (the umbrella term under which the people in the “Conference” fall) – those who claim to be Christian but whose actions are decidedly deceptive, vicious, and EVIL. They’ve made our lives a living hell for decades.

The non-Christians, on the other hand, acted far more like Jesus and CARED.

BTW… as I understand it, the Freemasons were more about freedom of the individual and opposed to the abusive and domineering political and religious structures of the day. I’d rather be around a Freemason than a bigot any day.

What exactly do you see as the problem with a ‘mish mash’ society? I see that you are genuinely concerned this is a bad idea somehow, but I don’t see any real reason for concern. How has that injured you or anybody else? Can you point to some REAL problems this has caused?

Miguel. You can’t tell mee that this kind of stuff doesn’t goes on in places like Harvard, Yale and other Leftiversities.
The left will never learn, because they believe the so.lution to a so call better world is live in a mish mash society.
There are secret societies out there like the Freemasons, Skulls and Bones and others. Every ptresident from George Wadshington to Barack Obama has been oinvoled with the Freemasons, according to a documentary on the history Channel. Benjamin Franklin was a closeted Satanist.
This is what we get living in a liberal live and let live attitude
in this sorry country. Hollywood is filled with extremists from the left to the right. Hoolywood has got to be the most corrupt and evuil place in America. There are atheistsm, Scientologists, Buddhists, Kabbalas and a whole lot more types of weirdos.

“Harvard, a bastion of the the left and a pro secularist propoganda institute.”

“Harvard is also an institution for groups like the Skulls and Bones.”

“God has the final say in judging America.”

Please provide evidence of these allegations.

“The day will come that Americans have said enough to interracial and interfaith marriages. we have the right to say no to gay marriages, but oue corrupt leaders has never given us the opportunities to state our opinions on interracial and interfaith marriages. It was forced on us against our wills.”

Sigh. Never mind. Cites aren’t part of your MO. Fear-mongering and outright hatred are.

Of course you can say no to all of those things – for yourselves. What you are really saying, Concerned Citizen, is that YOUR fundamentalist religious beliefs should be the law of the land. Why? Please explain why you think it is YOUR right to tell other people who THEY can marry?

In school, we were taught that one person’s rights end at the next person’s nose. Were you out that day? Here it is in a nutshell for you Citizen: When different constitutional rights conflict, as is not uncommon, the judicial system is tasked with resolving the conflict. It is the COURTS that decide the law of the land in those situations.

The fact of the matter is, you don’t have the right to impose your religious and racist beliefs on everybody else. We are ALL citizens of this great land.
