Are you proud of your race? Is it morally alright to be proud of one's race or is it racist to even consider race at all? Is it silly and childish to be proud of something you were not in control of? Christians, is pride in your race justified because it is the way that God made you?
Me personally, I don't see it so much in racial terms as I do lineage and history. I am proud of my European ancestors and am glad to be associated with them but I'm not proud because I have white skin or because I'm physically white or any nonsense like that, and I certainly don't think I'm better than anyone because of the way I was born.

you have no idea who I am or where I’ve been or the life I’ve lived. I also never said the real world doesn’t matter, I said it does and does more than politics and demographics and trends. Brethren? You mean other white men? I can’t tell you how many white men I’ve ran into that were straight pieces of garbage, just as I can’t tell how many men of other races I’ve ran into that were also pieces of garbage. Clearly you’re the sheltered one here, you’ve probably never left the town you grew up in. Youre right, I have no idea who you are, but Ill say this when I talk to people they might not agree with me, but they know exactly who I am and what I am about, I might not know you, but you know me. Ive lived in Orange County, Russleville AK, Bristol IN, Southern Central Valley CA two countries outside US, Im not the most experienced but I'd hardly say "I've never left my town". Most degenerate whites are not that way naturally, it is an effect of cultural and societal influence, same problem with women. Oh youre CA, 559 here, wanna meet >: ) I kinda want to see proof of this natural way people of any race are supposed to be without cultural or societal influence.

One must interact with individuals on a daily basis and make value judgments on an individual basis in their daily lives. In matters of policy or politics, the use of demographics, trends and statistics is required. In either case, ignoring racial and cultural differences is willful ignorance and it's detrimental. It’s a good thing the topic isn’t about matters of politics, policy, use of demographics, trends or statistics. It’s about the morality of being proud of your race and being proud of something you’re not in control of. Yesterday at work I spoke with some black folk and didn’t have any issue in doing so. We understood each other perfectly and there was no tension between us because of differences in our skin color or for any other reason at that. I never had to go look up demographics, trends, cultural differences, or the politics of our relations to be their friend or to do business with them because in the real world none of that matters. I'm not used to this forum and could not get it to just quote the relevant portion of you post. You said "I see people as individuals". My point is that race is a potentially important detail on an individual basis and definitely and important detail on a societal scale. I get along with all sorts of people just fine in my daily life as well. That said, there are some types of people I'm less likely to get along with and certainly groups of people that would have a negative influence in my neighborhood and in my society.

When you quote people like you just did now you can always just erase everything in their quote from there and leave only the part you want and then reply to it. Just like I just erased a bit of your post

Just like I just erased a bit of your post Thank you. I did try that, I think the issue is that I tried to delete a quote contained inside his quote. I did actually leave the text as you described but it did not post correctly. I think it might work better in "BBCode" mode rather than "Preview" mode, I will try that next time.

Well I just disagree. I don’t think race is an important detail on an individual basis. There are types of people I don’t get along with either, like the guy who was just permamuted on this forum who is white just like me. One of my best friends is Mexican, we’ve been friends since we were 13. 🤷🏼♂️

It's not unlike considering the way a person is dressed or their mannerisms. Actually, it's more scientific than that. Yes, having a basic idea of what the crime statistics are makes me more watchful around some people or in certain neighborhoods. It would be irresponsible to ignore these facts if I know them. However, there are good people in every race, that much is true. I have lived in a majority Mexican neighborhood most of my life and have also had Mexican friends in the past.

He responded to my 50 minute video footage of the holocaust by calling me a Jew and linking me to the German revolution of 1918 and some Jews that were communists. The relevance of any of that in lite of what I posted is a mystery to me.
