That’s how subtle racists work. They never use the obvious slurs, they express themselves through flowery language and vague terms. That the usual suspects who have more white sheets around than they have beds for applauded the remarks tells you all you need to know.
Where were you in '77?
Most of it wasn’t even that subtle.
Western culture and parts of East Asian culture is better than all others that I can think of. If you disagree then name one place you’d rather live.

It is to some people unfortunately.

The first sentence.
Also go back and look at the rest.
King called Western Civilization a “superior culture” and said some cultures contribute more to American society than others.
“If you go down the road a few generations or maybe centuries with the intermarriage, I’d like to see an America that’s just so homogenous that we look a lot the same,” King added.
Sorry I was only reading the quote in Ryan’s post. Reading the whole thing, it does look rather suspicious, especially knowing that David Duke approved of what he said. When David Duke agrees with you, you know you are doing something wrong. What is meant by intermarriage?
Western culture and parts of East Asian culture is better than all others that I can think of.
Excuse me? Did I just hear you say that the African culture is inferior to Western Culture? Also, what exactly do you mean by East Asian? Because if that doesn’t include China, you just said something about the culture my niece came from that is really going to set me off.
What is meant by intermarriage?
Interracial marriage.
What is meant by intermarriage?
Interracial marriage.
In that case, I am confused. He said “If you go down the road a few generations or maybe centuries with the intermarriage, I’d like to see an America that’s just so homogenous that we look a lot the same”. It sounds like he is saying that he’d like to see an America that was the produce of years of mixed race marriages. It does stand to that after centuries of mixed races marriages, would be less and less people that were purely one race and therefore we would look more alike. That part doesn’t seem all that bad.
I think he just worded that part poorly. He’s saying all this in support of this far-right Dutch politician.
It’s a confusing statement to begin with.

So, Nigel Powers was right all along? 😉

A group of states renewed their effort on Monday to block President Donald Trump’s revised temporary ban on refugees and travelers from several Muslim-majority countries, arguing that his executive order is the same as the first one that was halted by federal courts.
Court papers filed by the state of Washington and joined by California, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York and Oregon asked a judge to stop the March 6 order from taking effect on Thursday.
An amended complaint said the order was similar to the original Jan. 27 directive because it “will cause severe and immediate harms to the States, including our residents, our colleges and universities, our healthcare providers, and our businesses.”
“You cannot rebuild your civilization with somebody else’s babies. You’ve got to keep your birth rate up and that you need to teach your children your values” and in doing so, then you can grow your population and you can strengthen your culture, you can strengthen your way of life,”
Please tell me that ^ is really part of an 80-90 year-old speech from Hitler that the article mistakenly quoted and not a CNN interview by an elected member of the US congress from today?
I guess I am blind and stupid, but what is so bad about the quote itself? I’m not seeing it.
You don’t think those sentences sound like he is saying America needs to be breeding certain types of people to keep the nation pure? Sure sounds like Nazism to me… and judging by all the Nazis currently zieg-heiling this Congressman all over social-media, I guess it sure sounds like Nazism to them too.

You didn’t hear anything, you read things. There are a lot of very troublesome aspects of “African culture”. I put “African culture” in quotes because Africa is not a homogenous place; it’s made up of a variety of people and cultures, but female genital mutilation, honor killing, superstition, and religious violence are very prominent throughout the continent. I said parts of East Asia because I think that Japan and South Korea are very stable and lovely countries that I suspect I’d enjoy living in as much as the United States. Funnily enough, I actually said “parts of East Asia” in order to exclude China because a prominent element of the culture there, especially after the Communist revolution wiped out much of their earlier culture, is to put industry and work ahead of health and safety. Obviously this is primarily a government thing, but it extends to a lot of families too. Look, for example, at the children that are given to olympic training camps based on genetics that are overworked in order to win gold medals for China, and then discarded if they’re injured, if they fail, or even just once they get too old. You apparently think that by culture I’m referring to people, and if that’s the case then you have no idea what I’m talking about. People are people wherever you go. I also don’t think that any cultures are perfect and there are positives to almost every culture (except for maybe any cultural aspects specific to North Korea), but I think that it’s ridiculous to say that they’re all equally good, or to say that I have to respect something that I think is terrible because it’s a part of someone’s culture.
EDIT: Just so I’m clear, I don’t agree with what that asshole in the article is talking about. He’s clearly referring to interracial marriage and cloaking his bullshit with an argument based on cultures when he’s obviously talking about race.

As I said, I had only read the part that you quoted. But after reading the whole thing, I now see what you guys were talking about.
It’s official. The CBO (Congressional Budget Office) which is a widely respected non-partisan group, just issued its report reviewing TrumpCare.
It’s a disaster.
24 million people would lose their health insurance and senior citizens, like my mother and mother-in-law, who have low to moderate incomes, would see the cost of their health insurance SKYROCKET from $1,700 per year to over $14,000 per year - a 700% increase.
For 8 straight years, Republicans complained about Obamacare, but they have nothing. They have nothing at all to replace it with. This new plan is nothing.
It covers fewer people for more money and is a big kiss on the lips to insurance companies and rich folk.
They never really hated Obamacare, they just hated Obama.
What a mess.

“First feel fear, then get angry. Then go with your life into the fight.” - Bill Mollison
Worth noting that the 24 million number is by 2026, however…
A full 14 million people would lose coverage in the first year of implementation
The Republicans spent the weekend ripping the CBO because they knew this was coming…and yet they didn’t have the same issues with the CBO eight years ago. More hypocrisy as usual.
More musicians being stopped at the border.

The Department of Justice has failed to meet the House Intelligence Committee’s deadline to turn over any alleged evidence of wiretapping of President Donald Trump during the campaign.
On Friday, House Intelligence Committee Chairs Devin Nunes, R-California, and Adam Schiff, D-California, had formally requested that the Justice Department turn over any documentary evidence, including applications, orders or warrants, by Monday, assuming such information exists.
According to a DOJ spokeswoman, the DOJ placed calls to Nunes and Schiff this afternoon, asking for “additional time to review the request in compliance with the governing legal authorities and to determine what if any responsive documents may exist.”
A House Intelligence Committee spokesperson confirmed the DOJ’s request for more time and set a new deadline for ahead of the March 20 House Intelligence Committee hearing on Russia’s influence in the U.S. elections.
“We have asked the Department to provide us this information before the Committee’s open hearing scheduled for March 20,” a House Intelligence Committee spokesperson said. “If the Committee does not receive a response by then, the Committee will ask for this information during the March 20 hearing and may resort to a compulsory process if our questions continue to go unanswered.”

By the way, I forgot to mention this earlier, but you’ve brought your niece into political discussions multiple times and then proceeded to get angry about it. No one on this forum has ever brought up your niece. They never have and never will, so please stop.

I agree with this for the most part.
I’ll toss in my two cents in agreement with mfm and Jeebus too.

When Chinese culture is brought up, by default it includes my niece. When it is brought up that those not born citizens can’t be President, it involves my niece. Don’t like it? Too bad.
You said Western culture and parts of East Asian culture are better than all others. Well naturally, the begs the question exactly what is and is not “parts of East Asian culture”. The naturally follows for me to wonder whether or not this includes China. If not, then you must be saying that Western Culture and parts of East Asian culture are better than the culture my niece came from. Naturally, saying such a thing would upset me. Don’t like it? Too bad.
I made the above post before this this one:

Maybe I misunderstood. But it can be hard to separate people from culture.
Just imagine how Al Sharpton would react to anyone saying that white culture was better than African American culture.
Another thing: Government doesn’t always equal culture.
