If I was in their position and saw what was happening around me, I'd be making friends with the side that seemed to be winning to find out the truth about what was going to happen next. if the parents chose not to, you can't blame God for that. They might not have known the specifics about what was going to happen next,

Al Qaeda told the US that it would be attacked if it didn't do what they said.

If America couldn't be bothered to listen it's not Al-Q's fault the twin towers fell.

Yup, giving in to terrorism is always the best policy.

> I wonder who you think the "terrorists" are.

The Muslim Brotherhood. They are the parent organization of pretty much every terrorist organization. If AQ if "The Base" then the MB is the "Mothership."

Uh, in the real world the MB hate AQ, who were explicitly formed in opposition to the MB.

And do you seriously believe that the MB were behind the LTTE, the IRA, ETA, the RAF, the Red Brigades, Asian Dawn...

"You should consciously seek opportunities to make friends with [intelligent, well-socialized blacks]. In addition to the ordinary pleasures of friendship, you will gain an amulet against potentially career-destroying accusations of prejudice."

Am I the only one that finds great irony in that statement? Maybe the "amulet" only works if you don't talk about it.

I suspect the "amulet" only works if you're not a racist fuckwad.

The guy is trying to say you should use the "I'm not a racist, look some of my best friends are black" argument. And he's supposed to be some kind of deep thinker.

you are almost certainly smarter than any random black person you're going to meet

Hmm. Many slashdot posters are almost certainly smarter than any random black person they're going to meet.

Almost certainly smarter than any random white, yellow, purple or green person too. That's an unfortunate downside of being intelligent.

Wow. Where do you see evidence that "many" slashdot posters are intelligent.

Some, maybe.

But "many"?

actually so called affirmative action is pure example of racism (as in company has to have 10% of blacks or 50% of women in this position and you even when you have better grades or past experience do not get position just because you are unwanted white male.

Strawman. This is not "Affirmative action".

Affirmative action is that when two people have the same qualifications the minority candidate must be chosen.

If you think that white parents should instruct their children to avoid events that might attract a lot of black people and,

I never said or implied anything of the sort

You said:

I agree with all those statements.

One of the statements you said you agreed with was:

Do not attend events likely to draw a lot of blacks.

I think your claims of being "fiercl independant" and "scientific" look pretty dodgy.

I think you're mistaking "culturally" and "genetically"

Nope, I'm pretty sure I meant exactly what I said

Well since you claim:

at my core I am fiercely independent and more of a scientific, less artistic thinker.

I assume you have some evidence of this "genetic" effect.

Or maybe you're just a racist idiot.

I don't know of any places like that in real life; the closest I can think of are Atlanta and Detroit. But if a place like that did exist, things probably wouldn't be much different, except the white people would be getting the short end of the stick.
