They weren't called white.
They weren't called white.
And yet, they were white. That's the stupidity of it. You all live in Europe. You all came from the same pool of ancestors, just spread out. You all have fucking white skin and you're going to have the gall to try and separate regional neighbors to the point where you can call a white person "not white".
The pettiness is hilarious and bewildering at the same time.
In fact, the article appeorusreskljs38972394 posted says:
The New York Times notes that in earlier eras Irish, Italian and Eastern European Jewish immigrants were not universally considered as whites
By whom? Other whites.
Awesome. -_-
Edit: You know what's funny about that? Now that blacks, yellows and brownies are around, the "white community" is more than happy to accept those same Irish, Italian and Eastern European Jewish immigrants into tea parties and overall racist conservatism.
I suppose its a lot easier to say "us vs. them!" when the physical features are apparent.
the white v. white distinctions of the past were also tied to economic divides and exploitation of labor, whodathunkit.
Just saying some of us latin people are as white as europeans, well not many of us but some, then again all gf i've had are brown skin type.
did you watch the vid I posted? A truck driver provided his license to the officer and was still hauled off, not released until his wife brought his birth certificate.
apparently earlier evaluations that a DL would be sufficient were wrong (I had assumed that as well, based on what a local newspaper said).
And this is seen as OK by many in white society. That's what kills me to this day. This line of thinking was, and still is, okay. White honkeys can talk about the nation being one and freedom and brotherly love, so long as the brother is exactly the same, looks exactly the same, believes in exactly the same God, and affiliates with the exact same political party.
And this is seriously okay. They have no problems with this line of thinking, yet somehow they can fake "revulsion" at the prospect of Hitler's line of thinking.
Humans are conspiratorial. I pick on whites because I live in a country that was "founded" by whites, was run by whites, is still run by whites, and has an extremely loud vocal minority of whites that makes the news almost daily insulting the intelligence and paitence non-whites.
Its not just a white issue, its a human issue, but which "race" of humans is raising the biggest stink about it in the U.S. right now? Which is the most "powerful" race of the nation I live in?
Just because neither notion is true of all, doesn't mean either notion isn't true about the loudest in the bunch, and moreso, some of the most influential in the bunch.
Edit: Just so you know, I'm not used to taking you seriously. Too much spam lurking on my part.
I don't know but I wish I lived in Arizona, can probably go to Walmart at the first of the month now and everything.
You must be white, Day. Must feel good to have that freedom.
Color is irrelevant, I'm here legally.
Can i see your birth certificate, day?
Day is just trolling you guys
Btw judge napolitano the guy conservatives want on the supreme court just laid the fucking hammer down on this law. I'll try and find it and post it when I get home
You are incorrect, in Arizona, a DL is enough according to that law.
And yes I did Beckwin. The last two lines of an article Rhino posted stated that having your birth certificate as a trucker is standard operating procedure in Arizona. It's nothing new. It had nothing to do with this law.
My dad was a trucker at one point. Good times.
I don't troll in General, I leave that to Kuya since he's the master.
You know there's a similar argument to yours in the extremes of feminism, called gender feminism. It's the idea that the male gender (meaning all males everywhere) oppresses the female gender (all women everywhere) out of a conspiracy against women. Andrea Dworkin is an example. They claim that all men oppress all women because men hold power and since all men are oppressors, they use that power to oppress women.
So let me ask you. Do you actively oppress women? Do you wake up in the morning and ask "how can I oppress some women today?" This is the impression I get from your posts of what you're saying about white people. Point in fact, I am white and I have never really given any thought to oppressing minorities. I dunno, I guess I just never got the memo.
I think the main problem in regards to your points is that we have an uncritical public, not a conspiratorial one. It is not a racial conspiracy, it's just a matter of people accepting ideas they hear simply because they seem plausible or they are in line with some predisposition the person has. They don't think critically about the ideas they hear or their own ideas, and so they just go on their way, thinking thoughts without ever thinking about thoughts.
Oh looky here. You can't randomly question people. You need prior "legal contact."
