And low income rural white culture isn't? It's about poverty, not ethnicity!

I'll write it out to emphasize my point:

"I live in Hawaii in a place...I wanted to go to a place where there was no people, and I found the place. There's 500 people where I live, and they're brown. I like that because you can sleep at night. Y'know, cause if you live around white people in the country anything can happen. Not that I don't trust white people...It's just in the night. You know what I mean? I don't know, something happens to white people when you start drinking, and when you hear one of them MF'ers go, "Yee-HAW!" You know what I mean? I mean, it makes the hair on the back of my head stand up, 'cause I know what's next. After "Yee-HAW!" means get a rope, and a black MF'er.

They'll say, (rural white accent parody)"Why, do they have the greatest kind of resistance to a rope?"

"You can lasso a white guy and he won't do nothin'! Black guy, they kinda jerk away (chuckles)"



The movie "The Great Debaters" also illustrates this point.

But even christianity is imported by immigrants? Some religions are alright, according to you, but not others?
During the Dark Ages, Islam was prospering. Their science about astronomy, par example, was far ahead Bristol.

If you sympathize with Adolf Hitler, then why do you frequent multicultural sites as this RHP one? Why don't you just isolate yourself with your white friends and eat Bristol food? Why discuss this matter with foreigners?

African nations do have multiculturalism forced on them! Why do you think Islam has spread throughout Africa, there are white natives in South Africa, and French is spoken throughout the continent?

I have met many Muslim women. None ever wore a burka.

They cover themselves for the same reasons westerners do - modesty AKA drawing attention away from sexuality in day to day life. In their culture hair is considered really sexy for example so they cover it up to avoid looking like a ho.

Good; I'm glad you realized your mistake. Africans have long had multiculturalism forced on them at gunpoint.

Now, then, let's talk about rape and murder in South Africa. Is it caused because indiginous Africans are black, or because of multiculturalism? That is, did the Africans cause this high rate, or did Europeans?

Can we reasonably say that the high levels of white people in South Africa (10% ) have caused the increase in rapes and murders?

Multicultural Denmark has an extremely low murder rate. What's your point?

Your personal attacks upon me shows clearly that your out of arguments. You know you're wrong, and now you're trying to show your muscles. If we stood face to face, would you hit me then?

You are christian, right? This is a question. A yes or no queston. I don't hope you're afraid to answer. Is this a religion with Bristol as its origin, do you think?

You start to ask me questions about Islam. Why do you do that? Is it relevant?

Glasgow is full of white gangs who shank people for entertainment (to contrast with Denmark).

England is a good example of a nation where long term multiculturalism worked out pretty well. There are Celts, Anglo-Saxons, Normans, Romans, Vikings...always short term problems, but in the long run a very strong nation!

Those are different cultures and ethnicities, not races of course, but the thread is about culture, not race.

And the USA of course has only grown consistently stronger over time as it became more multicultural AND multiracial. Nazi Germany, the Confederacy, Imperial Japan, Pan-Arabism, etc - ethnically "pure" powers...not so impressive.

if you read Shaka Zulu and the book is accurate, it's probably because imposition of foreign powers and cultures erased the strong native cultural controls that were in place.

similar to reservations in the US.

How do you expect to get gang members to your school and then keep them there without the school getting shot up or somebody shanked with a pencil?

You suggesting putting funds into the community suggests you intuitively recognize that poverty is the problem.
