I think terrorism is much more basic than all that. It's simply one group's blind hatred towards another because of their own manufactured reasons and (due to having too much free time on their hands) they are willing to commit anything that will disrupt or destroy the lives of the ones they are against with little or no remorse.
My 'theory' about the guy long ago was written to simply express that the ignorance of racism probably started eons ago with no real basis other than physical differences. My original post was only to express that I just don't get it (racism). I was not trying to convince anyone of anything.
I just think it's ludicrous for someone to imply that blacks are naturally more violent.
That is simply not true. Can a negative environment influence ones personality?
Of course but 99.9 percent of us on this earth are not born naturally more violent.
Of course there's racism between all races. I was simply saying that I don't understand "why".
By the way, the types of people that I dislike most in this world are ones like you who use the 'f-word' in every other sentence and think there is absolutely nothing wrong with that! Thanks for giving me another subject to discuss on this website.
Yes, the situation was meant to illustrate the mother's prejudice. I was just stunned by your remark "perhaps its just because she knows blacks are naturally more violent and statistically commit more violent crime".
I used the word 'inferior' simply because you had used it.
I believe that all men/woman are created equal and that prejudice is ignorance that will probably continue long past my lifetime.
But don't you realize that even if we have 100 years worth of oil left in the ground, we need to switch to non-fossil fuel burning sources of energy for the sake of our environment and if those industries are created here in the United States we would no longer need to be purchasing most of our oil from foreign countries as well as creating possibly millions of new jobs!
"blacks are naturally more violent and statistically commit more violent crime"?????
Your right, the mother in the commercial probably does find the blacks inferior. But why?
That's the whole point of the commercial since blacks are no more inferior than anyone else.
If you're looking for a movie about an individual who despite his "mental disability" rises to every occasion with nobility, honesty and honor watch FORREST GUMP. He always does what's right no matter what and sets a great example for anyone.
I was born in 1962 and although I'm fascinated with our technological achievements, I believe that they may eventually cause the demise of human civilization as we know it. Generally speaking, I think video games are an intellectually unhealthy pastime, I think cell phones have way to many features (the texting feature being the dumbest) and since anything can be posted to the internet (including complete lies and any type of pornography), susceptible young people can and often are exposed to so much garbage that it not only robs them of their innocence but possibly leads them down a negative path through their life.
I'm thankful to have been born way before 1980 as I have some insight and recollection of how things were before this technological revolution.
