  20. ​ @JeffMcDuffie72MeridianGate  . . . culture and race are inseparable. Culture is downstream from race and politics is downstream from culture. The different races are just that. . . different. As the OP said up above is that wealth can sometimes mute those differences. The more wealthy people become the less they notice race within the group they associate with. And the lower you get on the socioeconomic ladder the more "racism" you'll encounter. I rarely look at it as racism and more of tribalism in varying degrees between individuals within that race. Some white people are more tribal than others while some black people are more tribal than others. Men tend to be more tribal than women. But those small differences become amplified when larger groups are involved. Go to any College lunch room even today and the students tend to self-segregate by race. People fool themselves into thinking just because they have a few friends of different races that it can then be applied to larger groups. Usually individual friends of different races have enough in common where any differences are overlooked by manners or just an individual having different tastes. But those little differences become exacerbated when larger groups of different races interact. The group dynamic will trump the individual trait. There are also some individuals that can bridge the natural racial divide. C. 0wen$ and La-ry EIder come to mind. There's a few derogatory names that their own tribe call them. That alone tells you something. This isn't a statement or question on one race being better than another. It's just an honest acknowledgement of the races being different. A little diversity is fine and probably a good thing. Too much diversity leads to division and conflict. In order for a nation to prosper you need a dominate super-majority of one ethnicity/race where any minority living within that country adheres, accepts, appreciates, admires, etc. the customs, norms, traditions, language, culture, laws, history, etc. of the majority. But that minority must stay a minority. And the majority welcomes that minority as they feel proud and flattered that a different ethnic/racial group would adopt their culture and country as their own. But as the minorities population #'s increase to a certain point (I have no idea at what % that would be but I'm assuming 10% to 20% minority) that feeling of welcoming and flattery turns to concern, displacement, and resentment. I'm sure the Native Indigenous Tribes of the Americas were curious and flattered at first when the white man set foot on North America. But at some point as the white man's #'s increased they became concerned. If multiracialism within countries were the norm then why do so many "countries of color" have strict immigration and citizenship laws designed to keep their ethnic/racial majorities the same. Such as "your grandparents had to be a citizen within such and such country for 10 years".

  40.  @DG-nk7jo  . .you obviously only know the version of WWII from the victors perspective. What is a Nazi by the way? They never referred to themselves as that. Hitler wanted Lebensraum. . .more land for the Germanic people of Europe. England and France did not like that. They were the big boys that were colonizing the globe. They didn't want any competition from another European power. England especially liked to have the mainland European powers always divided. Germany also had to deal with the threat of France from the West and Russia from the East; Franco-Russian Pact. Hitler never wanted global domination. If you can cite the source of where he stated that please let me know. But I guess taking sides with two very powerful Imperialist nations with colonies around the globe that subjugated the indigenous peoples of those areas was just fine and dandy. And also pairing up with a Communist dictatorship that had ambitions to spread Communism throughout Europe and the rest of the world was just fine and dandy too. And by the 1930's it was well know of all the murder, gulags, imprisonment, starvation, etc. that was happening in the Soviet Union. (Side note. . . the increasing influence of Communism was in part what gave rise to Hitler. Which is also why Germany became ultra nationalistic as Communism seems to be more anti-nationalism and more global). And what part did the Treaty of Versailles play in the rise of Hitler? After all, Germany was punished for a war you could argue they did not start and severely punished for a war one could argue they only lost on paper. Germany was forced to cede lands to other nations, pay war reparations, and had many other sanctions imposed on them. On top of that, they had to fend off a Communist coup shortly after WWI by Spartacists. Their economy eventually collapsed and their currency suffered from hyper-inflation. Also, many historians blame WWII on the Treaty of Versailles. So do the people/countries that drafted and signed the Treaty of Versailles also share some responsibilities for WWII? Anyway, you really need to learn the other perspective of WWI and WWII.

  65.  @waterbottleart2662  . . .it does create conflict. History has shown it does. Also, the world shows us that different races self-segregate and that they also create immigration/citizenship laws designed to keep "others" out of their territory. How old are you? Do you really value whatever krap "eduation" was spoon fed to you? I got my degree almost 30 years ago and even I knew then it was watered down and heavily influenced by "Leftists". The Scandinavian/Nordic countries were always brought up by the Left on how "Socialism" worked (even though they weren't Socialist but Capitalist with generous social benefits). And it was always mentioned how "Homogeneous" they are/were. You're not a scientist if you can't see that the different races are different. Read my comments above. I already said I can't really put a % on too much diversity but we all know it when it happens. Sort of like when Detroit started to get outside money invested in it and more huwhyte people started to move in. They started complaining about how it's changing the culture and gentrification of a majority black city. What's the difference between love making and porn? It's a fine line but we all know it. Does Japan even have any black people? LOL. How "diverse" is Japan? How many black people live in India? How many Arab Muslims peacefully live in India? Almost the entire non-white world has immigration/citizenship laws designed to keep their ethnic/racial majority the same. What's a "Hispanic"? If I learn Spanish and live in Central America for a year can I say that I'm "Hispanic"? Are they descendants of Spanish Colonizers? Are they from a Central American tribe? North American tribe? So if diversity is good then I guess the world will stop blaming the white man for taking North American "Indigenous" lands right? We were just innocent white settlers looking for a better life. It was those xenophobic indians that claimed it was their land.

  88.  @gumblodobbins4465  . . . LOL. . . who cares about a degree. College is pretty much useless. I "earned" my degree from a prestigious private college over 25 years ago and even then I knew the curriculum was watered down. It's a joke. I also have a minor in history along with 2 other majors. Who cares. I'm the furthest thing from Russia or China. I absolutely hate Communism and Communists. I used to be almost a pure far right Libertarian until I realized there are so many flaws in that ideology from a practical standpoint. Long conversation. So you think it's a good idea to discount the German's perspective from the 1920's and 1930's? That seems very ignorant as to ignore what caused certain major historical events to happen. Soviet Union, North Korea, Cuba, Vietnam, China, Cambodia, Venezuela, etc etc. etc. Sure seems like the Left has a very good track record of human rights violations. And here we are having the Olympics in China. Communism is still looked at as a viable political/economic system when it has and does create misery and death. If fails miserably wherever it is tried. And it definitely won't work in the West unless they manage to replace "us" as it's not a system for "us". Why don't we chase down Communists that have committed crimes against humanity as there's no shortage of those crimes from the Left. Seems like you're just angry that the other perspective of WWI and WWII is being talked about more and more. Also, you don't sound too educated regardless of your degree. . . not sure but maybe it's how you structured your sentence or the limited amount of information you replied with.

  94.  @gumblodobbins4465  . . .exclusion? Everyone already knows that side of the story. . .the victors story. Did you know that ethnic Germans were being persecuted in lands that were formerly German territory and that Hitler pleaded with Britain and France to put a stop to it. The Broomberg Massacre, also known as Bloody Sunday, is one example. Without revisiting and questioning history we would never have known that it was actually the Soviets that were responsible for the Katyn Forest Massacre. The Germans were blamed for it all the way up until the 1990s. You state you have a degree in history and yet fail to mention anything in relation to any historical events. Again, all I'm asking is for people to view WWI and WWII with an open mind and look at all perspectives. Do you ever question why did Woodrow Wilson (WWI) and FDR (WWII) both pushed for entry into the World Wars? WWI was a complete disaster. There was no reason for us to enter that war. . . it was basically a stalemate and pretty much over. The Zimmerman Note is questionable at best. . .more like an excuse. FDR was breaking international treaties by supplying England and China (I can't think of them off the top of my head) during war time. FDRs acts were seen as an act of aggression. Truman drops the atomic bomb and then proceeds to get us involved in the Korean war. Kennedy, along with France, gets us involved in Vietnam. Then LBJ doubles down with the Gulf of Tonkin incident to formalize our involvement in the Vietnam War. ALL Democrats.
