Racist post I saw on another board...bet this guy voted for *

"Japan deserved to be bombed twice, them dirty Japs sealed their own fate, and thus reaped the consequences.
Fire raids, internment camps, pfft, they totally had it coming.

Those goddamn dirty Japs."

I wrote a response telling him in the fewest number of F-words possible how I felt about that statement. I had relatives who were interned during WWII for being Japanese.

1. What a shitheel

Voted for *? I bet he jacks off to his picture at night before beating his wife!

[meganmonkey]

2. Spewing filth

It's so sad, really, the hatred in people's hearts, the twisted scapegoating.

I'm sorry you had to see that, and I am sorry for what happened to your family. My greatest fear is that this country is capable of enough hatred to do something like that again :(

[Rocknrule]

13. It is

Except next time, they probably won't be just "internment" camps
:scared:

3. Actually these are the types

who want to EXPAND Korean religious immigration because it serves their purpose well.

Damn hypocrites.

[thefool_wa]

10. If I understand you correctly

you are insinuating that they want increased Korean immigration so that, when the war starts with N. Korea we have someone to put in camps!?

Striking, severe, outrageous, and probably true. Just like the Nazi's these type of people cling to the idea that the only thing that truly drives a populace is having an enemy. Why don't we just try not having one for a while and see how it goes.

[Rocknrule]

12. Agreed

We lived for 8 glorious years under Clinton without any enemies at all and they were 8 of the best years in American history

16. I miss Uncle Bill (nt)

15. NO

I meant South Korean religious extremists who are out of touch with both the US and their home country.

They are a very common type in SoCal, and they've done to Los Angeles what the Cuban-American community has done to Miami.

17. Sounds familiar

It sounds like the same type of situation that drove the Puritans, Pilgrims, and Calvanists here during the early days of western exploration. They don't want freedom from religious persecution as mush as they want the freedom to religiously persecute.

I'm glad what I said isn't what you were driving at. I like to cling to at least a shred of hope that there aren't alot of those type of people out there, even though our government has shown those colors more than once.

4. Great example of what's wrong with the world.

Whether it's yesterday's "Damn Japs" or today's "damn towelheads" the issue is seeing onesself as fundamentally different than others. That sort of outlook allows people to form a lot of opinions and commit a lot of acts that they'd never consider if they realized that people are all basically the same. We may have different views on issues but we all have the same basic needs and motivations.

[Rocknrule]

7. It's always the same people doing the hating and persecuting

CONSERVATIVES!

5. at DU? if so, report the schmuck.

[gordianot]

6. There are Spaniards still upset with with a war more than 100 years ago.

To purposely kill someone is a radical act never to be take lightly. People who talk like that usually were never involved directly with a war.

[Vickers]

14. "People who talk like that usually were never involved directly with a war

*DING!* *DING!* *DING!*

[Yollam]

8. I've seen posters here defend the terrorist A-bomb attacks on Japan...

The only difference was they refrained from using the racial slurs.

Personally, I'd rather be called "jap" than incinerated along with 100k of my friends and neighbors...




Oh yeah, it was okay for Truman to murder those civilians because it was "total war" and he was a 'democrat'. Sorry for forgetting.

9. Prejudice and the Repuke Party.....study

Another study presented at the conference, which was in Palm Springs, Calif., explored relationships between racial bias and political affiliation by analyzing self-reported beliefs, voting patterns and the results of psychological tests that measure implicit attitudes -- subtle stereotypes people hold about various groups.

That study found that supporters of President Bush and other conservatives had stronger self-admitted and implicit biases against blacks than liberals did.


snip



The analysis found that substantial majorities of Americans, liberals and conservatives, found it more difficult to associate black faces with positive concepts than white faces -- evidence of implicit bias. But districts that registered higher levels of bias systematically produced more votes for Bush.

"Obviously, such research does not speak at all to the question of the prejudice level of the president," said Banaji, "but it does show that George W. Bush is appealing as a leader to those Americans who harbor greater anti-black prejudice."

snip

"If anyone in Washington is skeptical about these findings, they are in denial," he said. "We have 50 years of evidence that racial prejudice predicts voting. Republicans are supported by whites with prejudice against blacks. If people say, 'This takes me aback,' they are ignoring a huge volume of research."
