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.

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.

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,

You said:

I agree with all those statements.

One of the statements you said you agreed with was:

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

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.

Sez who? Based on what evidence?

Yeah, I (adult white male) live in Taiwan. Very few whites or blacks here. I've had children very interested in me because I'm white. Just wanting to touch me-it also helps that I'm hairy. I've also had a child cry when I smiled at her.

Haha. One of my nieces screamed and hid behind the sofa the first time she saw me.

She's black and lives in the Ivory Coast - the only other white people she'd ever seen had been on the TV, usualy killing someone.(*)

((*) strange effects of TV - Africans mostly see white people in Columbo and Inspector Derrick, involved in sordid murders. Gives them a strange idea what most white people are like).

Do you get CNN on your planet?

Any person who was actually following events in the Middle East could have easilly predicted that Egypt and Libya would be in the hands of terrorists a year after their respective 'regime change.

Well, since Egypt is clearly in the hands of the Egyptian army, I wonder who you think the "terrorists" are.

PS - Don't you get Al-Jazeera on your planet? I haven't seen anything credible on CNN since GW1.
