Nationalism with a capital "N." It isn't just a word. It refers to a specific ideology. Specially, the ideology of racial supremacy and apartheid. Go read up on Dr. Hendrik Verwoerd and the Nationalist Party of South Africa if you want more detailed information.

Well, the early American colonists certainly could have treated the Native Americans better.

An invasion is an action which can only be preformed by a military force with government backing. Citizens who cross the border on their own is not invasion, regardless of whether they retain their own culture or not.

Borders exist only to determine which government has authority in a given geographical area. Their purpose should never be to keep people out, at least not in a free nation.

I am not an anarchist, although I suppose you could say that I take an anarchistic approach to the issue of immigration. I believe there should be no laws or regulations whatsoever in regards to immigration.

Assuming that differences always hold true for every single individual is very much privilege.

There is no characteristic which is exclusive to either sex. There are only characteristics which are more prevalent in one sex than the other. So to a certain extent, the feminists are right (at least the more moderate ones -- the TERFs and the RADFEMS tend to take things to an irrational extreme). Think of two over-lapping bell curves, and you'll have a pretty good picture of the concept.

Apparently asking people to provide sources for their data is frowned upon...?

Actually, the term he used was "the power of whiteness," which doesn't quite carry the same meaning as "white power." It's closer to "white privilege." And I interpreted his comment as meaning the person who talked about their relatives being Holocaust survivors had white privilege, not that his relatives did.

It should also be noted that many people in Latin America also attempt to immigrate to America in order to flee oppressive conditions in their home countries, but are blocked from doing so due to the current immigration policies of the United States, which weren't in place when Jews were fleeing Europe during WWII. There's a documentary called "Harvest of Empire" which goes into great detail about this:

Actually, "caucasian-Americans" remind me of a science fiction book I read a long time ago, called "Highwood".

A couple of anthropologists are studying an alien culture on another planet. The planet grows trees miles high, and the aliens live along the tree branches and in the trunks.

What makes the aliens worth studying is that they are the most extremely sexist species imaginable. Literally, the males live on their side as homosexuals, and the females live on their side as lesbians. To cross the line would result in a very... very ugly death. Once a year or so, they'd be forced to get together to make babies, and for those who participated, that was the end of their sex lives. They became untouchables.

So, one day the male anthropologist, we'll call him Hamby Flagg because that was his name, saw something he shouldn't have seen and lived to talk about. A messenger had come from another tree (to each tribe, there was no world beyond their own tree); his hair was plucked out and he was quite dead.

So all the Lemmits (the aliens) went on a forced trek... and they came to where one of the trees was about to collapse. The Lemmits being studied pushed the members of the other tribe off the branches one by one. And then the other tree collapsed.

Because they had witnessed this, the humans were not permitted to return to the tree. They were blocked from going higher in the tree (which they needed to do to be retrieved), and had to go down down the tree to the ground level.

Where they discovered the cause of the trees' deaths... working for thousands of years, a race of giants were trying to cut down each tree with stone tools.

Running from these creatures, the humans stumbled upon the ruins of a civilization.

They escape and climb up another tree to be rescued.

The Lemmits had kept the giants as slaves, and one day there was a rebellion and the Lemmits were driven to the trees. Their guilt was so great, that they committed genocidal-suicide. They were slowing dying off, hundreds of generations later, with no one on either side remembering the reasons for the hate or the guilt each subsequent generation still felt.

Yes, caucasian-Americans remind me of that, because I see them, driven by a guilt I don't feel, destroying everything they built in the name of an unassuageable, phantom guilt.

I'll be glad to know that cultural success and associated numbers in a region makes hash of Objectivism. What you're suggesting is no different from 99%ers advocating the unjust persecution of the wealthy. Well, it's worse. It's saying that persecution is okay if it doesn't involve death camps and if there are more than six million of the persecuted classification.

Let me tell you a story you won't like (don't worry, I won't be vulgar).

I guess I understand human nature better than most people, because I don't blind myself to the "dark side". I guess that, because I see things coming decades before pretty much everybody else. So I get to spend decades being derided and insulted... until it's too late.

Back in the 1970s, might have been earlier, you started seeing black, male celebrities start complaining about the term "boy" being applied to adult black men. I thought this reasonable.
In movies like, "In the Heat of the Night" (I think that was one of them) it was made a propaganda issue.

I thought at the time, "Fine, black, adult men shouldn't be called boy. But, I'll be damned if I'll let them start calling ME 'boy' in reparation..."

Not more than a few years later, you started hearing, in movies and television shows, at first applied to teenaged white males, "white boy". In recent years, although unmistakably mature physically, I've been referred to as "white boy", without an eyebrow being raised. This was long after seeing it used in movies, television, advertising...

The point being, perhaps the Jewish people should have raised hell about being persecuted before their wealth was stripped from them and they were herded off to death camps?

So, you keep sneering at the idea of Caucasians and Christians being persecuted while the persecution is still in its embryonic stage. But then remain silent when the death camps first appear as re-education camps.

At least the death camps of WWII weren't run by Jews...

I'm not confusing the issue. Maph said "ALL MEANS". That means that terrorists, bank robbers, rapists, drug pushers, car thieves can come and go as they please.

Let's apply this open border rule Maph wants to apply to the country to... say.. your house...


There's an old story, dunno if it's true, about a border patrol agent. Every weekend, he'd see this guy drive his white Cadillac into Mexico. The guy just... looked suspicious. He knew the guy was up to something.

He'd stop the guy and search his car top to bottom, search the guy, his baggage... nothing.

Years later, the border patrol agent retired. He took a vacation to a small seaside Mexican town, and there, sitting at a cafe, was the Cadillac man.

So the agent sits down beside him and says, "I don't know if you remember me, but years ago, I was a border patrol agent. Every weekend you'd come down to Mexico and I'd search your car. I was *certain* you were smuggling something, but, man you sure beat me."

The other man smiled and said, "I was smuggling something. I was smuggling white Cadillacs..."

That's not true.

You need an SS number to get a job, too. This is why "identity theft" has been one of the fastest growing crimes.

They don't need SSN to use the emergency room, and they buy and "creatively acquire" SSN, driver licenses and other required documentation.

I know, I used to sit and eat lunch listening to illegals trade recipes on ways of milking the system...

A club? Seriously?? You're going to try splitting that hair?

It has courthouses; it has businesses; it has utilities. It has homes It's not a club, it's a community. An extended tribe.

Why would a "club" be any more righteous in controlling who enters a region under their control than a nation?

Don't confuse the issue with other non-associated acts to the actual immigration.

Under what theory?

You're confusing a tyrannical government with tyrannical immigration policy. If they allow immigration by some criterion, then that is their right. The fact that they don't allow emigration is definitely tyrannical.

Do you have any concept of sovereignty? Being a sovereign nation, any nation thus has the right to control its borders. This is analogous to an individual having property rights to their land. They have the right to control who is allowed to violate their property boundaries. Similarly a nation (which is the aggregate of the citizens of that nation) has the right to control who is allowed to violate the national boundaries.
