The Japanese are not 'caucasians'- with the Ainu a noted exception,
perhaps.

My bad- I probably misunderstood.
Interesting that if you subtract 'white- hispanic' from 'white
non-hispanic', the crimes stats look entirely different.
But that's another question for discussion.

You mean the colony they wiped out?
yeah; right.
----Why were they wiped out?

They had huge riches, from the standpoint of the locals.

---Not the way I read it. Powhatan granted them a spot in his fiefdom
and they almost starved for a couple of years, some resorting to
cannibalism. The settlers then, in an act of rudeness, gave presents
to his enemies, instead of him. In addition, the introduction of Euro
domesticated animals that laid waste to thier fields was seen as a
major inconvienence. When the offendoing animals were shot, the indos
were treated to angry ofays brandishing muskets. This is how I
understood it from the National Geographic article.

Ah, the comedian?
-----Comedian, director, writer. You may have heard of "Blazing
Saddles", "Young Frankenstein", his latest bonanza was "the Producers"
on Broadway.

So; an entertainer.
My; what an authoritative voice.

-----Well, it doesn't take a lot of in depth scholastic ability to
realize the Spanish Inquisition, does it? Perhaps you differ from his
assessment that Jews were tortured by the same to recant thier
religion?



Ah- the guy who made his bones torturing and killing fellow Christians.
----And alot of Jews, too.

No- not by comparison. There never have been that many Jews anywhere. I
think they're only 25M or so even now.

---Yes, by comparison to their population. Probably close to 100% of
the Jews under the Inquisition were pressured to recant, or were at
least confined to ghettos. What percentage of the Xtian population was
exposed to the same?

----And Jim Crow?
Long past.
----Late 1950's is long past. Hardly a hiccup in even our short
history.

Depends on how you look at it- you're holding things against us for
centuries anyway.

----Do you suggest we shouldn't teach history in schools?



No wonder they were resentful.
----Might have something to do with all those Yankee dead. Just a
guess.

Yeah- and look how successful their government has been.

---Well, sheesh, wasn't Tgod bloviating about how we went to the moon
in a couple hundred years? You don't care for representational govt?


That's a matter of the news you read- there are maybe a couple of
thousand
Klansmen, maybe; LA has approaching 100,000 gangstas-of-color.
Which group has the greater affect?
----Depends where ya live, don't it?

Not much-
go to Des Moines and ask them if they're more afraid of the Bloods/Crips or
the KKK- ask about MS-13, or La Eme.

---I've had no contact with any of these groups outside of TV news
magazines and an occaisional article in the local paper. I suspect
these gangs are more about fighting each other than uniting and taking
on "the man."


--- Just pointing out that people is people, nobody has a monopoly on
divide and conquor. But, with the population "browning", in a few
generations, they'll probably all be brown.

Yeah.

So you're willing to die, and your children with you, to make it 'even'?
----Who's gonna kill me and my kids. The immigrants?

Yeah; haven't you been listening to La Raza?

---No. If you'd like to post a non-aligned cite, I'd be sure to read
it.


You've got to learn to dance with the girl what brung you, buddy.
-------javohl
Oh; you're European-
nevermind, you've got your own problems.
----No, I'm American, Heinz 57.

Ah; hence the bi-linguality, no doubt.

----I wish I were, it'd make things a hell of a lot easier around
here.

Vote for Kerry did you? Some family thing?

----Yup, considered him the least of the two evils.


In Fl we've had the immigrant hoardes arriving since the early '60's,
none wanting to particularly assimilate.

And look at what Florida has become- a police state trying to deal with the
Brown Cocaine criminals.

-----Straight from the '80's! Blow dealers don't fight in the street
like Miami Vice anymore.
The Latins are the major players here now, the Anglos are a minority
and getting even more so.
You probably won't live to see it, but I suspect most of the southwest
will end up the same way.....
