freepers hate multiculturalism

I know this is nothing new but check the above article out.First a little history on this matter.


I googled my name but couldn't find anything. I remember a while back my cousin wrote something to vdare (I advised her to use a junk e-mail address with a fake name).I then googled my cousins fake online name she uses to submit opinion pieces to see what came up and I found this particular article. Funny thing is the idiot from vdare posted her fake first and last name claiming it was her true name. After the article was posted the racist asshole from vdare posted her e-mail address so his freeper buddies sent my cousin racist hate mail. I do have to say most of the mail she received was supportive. Anyways I'm sitting here reading this article and I find this rag piece so funny I'm posting the link in my college paper (because we all need a good laugh this semester). They call my cousin a racist funny thing is my cousin married my husband's brother who happens to be white. They have four beautiful biracial children. Anyways I'm sure "Tammy Mccoy's" heart is broken and I'm sure they think they got one over on her by posting her "real true name" Her name isn't even close to that and my name is a variation of Tammy which is why she used the name Tammy in the first place. The last name comes from a girl that used to bully us in grade school.:rofl:

This letter my cousin sent vdare was sent several years ago and she still gets e-mails from supporters and people who want to interview her online. Most the freepers stop e-mailing her but every once in a while she will get an e-mail from a mouth breather telling her to go back to Africa. She always tells them she will go back as soon as they give the natives back America ;funny how that one shuts them up. Anyway, I found this article amusing and sad not to mention the blatant denial and racism peppered throughout this piece of crap. What also gets me is as soon as you point out freeper xenophobia and racism they turn around and call you the racist. These idiots need to get a new game plan because we used that trick in debate competitions in high school, it's getting old. I know for a fact my cousin is not racist but once again freeper assholes will use the race card when they see fit even though the racist shoe fits more of them.

What I find even more hilarious is that the idiots are getting their jollies off by throwing insults at a fake name :shrug:. I'm sure the real Tammy Mccoy (and I'm sure there are quite a few) are insulted at being called racist and then again maybe the Tammy Mccoy's of the world don't give a shit what a bunch of racist conservatives have to say about them. All I know is my cousin is getting the last laugh because her true name is not Tammy Mccoy and those sticks and stones aren't bothering her one bit. We all know how freepers cowards like to blow up federal buildings and abortion clinics when they go off their meds. I advised my cousin to not take the idiots for granted while they might be stupid most of them are missing a few marbles which is why I told her to use a fake name.

I told my cousin I didn't really agree with everything she wrote to vdare however, I do agree the united states cannot stop multiculturalism and we should embrace diversity and be proud of it.She wrote the letter to vdare several years ago and has learned quite a bit in that time frame. She was going to the dark side but I sent her a link to DU and the rest is history (knock on wood).

I guess my question is this. Why in the hell are liberals labeled as weak pansies when conservatives are afraid of diversity, change, and everything in between? It seems to me liberals crave knowledge while conservatives are more than happy to know nothing especially about race and culture of those who don't look like them. I think I'm lucky to have meet so many different people from all cultural backgrounds. As my cousin says move to an deserted island if your afraid of diversity and let the rest of us grow and learn from each other.

1. It's All About POWER & PRIVELEGE

The Freeper assholes don't wanna share.

There's your short answer.

2. Yep.

Here's one that I learned from someone, that works well on freeps:

When Jackie Robinson, and then Willie Mays, broke the color barrier, Major League Baseball really got exciting! Attendance went through the roof. When everyone is given the opportunity to succeed, it works for the best of everyone.

Also, skin makes up 1-2% of the average person. Makes it seem pretty silly to hate someone for the color of their skin . . .

Welcome to DU! :hi:

3. Why? - Projection, a defense mechanism = reflexive.

Defense mechanisms "help" us to function by dis-placing stuff that is dysfunctional, thus defending the competence of the Ego which is necessary to survival. If I were to admit the fact that I am dysfunctional in some regard, I would have to admit that I could be dysfunctional in other regards, and my Ego, the means by which I function to acquire what I need from the world, would be weakened. Thus, Recognizing one's own dysfunctions is a little like killing yourself, so we have reflexes, such as Projection, to prevent that.

Love this . . . "We all know how freepers cowards like to blow up federal buildings and abortion clinics when they go off their meds." That is exactly what happened.

4. multiculturalism in a more global frame

What multiculturalism is in practice is postmodernism; then we have 300,000,000 television
channels and everyone lives on a different channel. People who watch the same TV shows
can communicate. Part of what makes it "work" in the US is that the country is pushing
the envelope on the flexible labor meme. Then that flexible labour has to travel and move
1000's of miles to stay employed. THis constant movement of population creates fundamentally
2 classes. There are the "locals" and the "incomers". Locals live within 10 miles of where
they were born, have never left, and often descend from a genetic stock of locals who haven't
left either.

Incomers are everyone else, and as long as the locals stay vastly outnumbered, and do not have
any race, religious or ethnic differences, there seems little friction. But when the incomers
are very small in number, then there becomes a lot of problems with multiculturalism, especially
in welfare states where "locals" are paid to sit in their houses than move to get a job
elsewhere. Then you get pockets of angry white men who can't accept the more cosmopolitan
habits of their travelling peers. And as these local pockets develop over centuries, much
as in the american south, they systemically attack the cosmopolitian as a threat to their
parochialism.

They believe in a theory that you can make a social or political problem exogenous, by banning it.
They try things like banning gays, cannabis, dance clubs, free sex and all these liberties that
"appear" not to be part of the parochial life. But then the truth is not so simple, and often
when a person in a locals area, discovers they are gay, they leave and join the incomers
elsewhere, usually in major city where everyone is an incomer, and there are no local tyrants.

But many european countries are suffering a tyranny of the locals... switzerland, britain, germany
where parts of the country are soooo stagnated in terms of population movement, that people are
sometimes referred to by the name of where they live... as if the geography has grown in to their
soul like a tree. So the locals are only a problem if they are uneducated, poor and unemployed,
but that is too often the case in the housing estates across europe.

But this parochial/cosmopolitain, metrosexual/redneck, city-states/rural suggests that the rural
local is a lesser creature, one that is focused on earthly kingdom, ego, worldy power and business.
The red state blue state purple state fact of multiculturalsm... but if the red states were really
all red, and the blues really all blue, then you have rather a divided nation, not multiculturalism.
That is what i've observed in europe, just as there is not the immigration to offset the heavy
navel gazing selfishness, the puerile immaturity that lashes out with violence at what it does
not understand. And so you get riots and social unrest when the integration of multiculturalsim
is not comprehensive. Then you get what is seen in europe today, people saying "multiculturalism
has failed." It only works if the blood flows in the veins, like red platelets, the individual
citizens intermix, travel and see the whole country as "their local"... but when the blood just
sits in the body and does not move, as often in the unemployed welfare state, the body is like
a corpse, and the red blood cells become anemic.

Your optimism about multiculturalism is founded in your own cosmopolitan nature. If you can
put yourself in the shoes of a "local", someone who's so attached to place, they would rather
be a king in a small pool than discover there is an ocean out there. If you shrink a grinch
heart 3 sizes too small, you get a republican, you get a collapsed localist with all the
generosity of a shrew. (metaphor not animal). If you shrink your heart down to the racist
size of the little minds that hate multiculturalsim, in to the lens of homophobia, misogyny,
and paranoia about liberality and the enlightenment, from that shrunken space, you can see
that the greater world, the majority of the world's population, is there. You are lucky
beyond measure to be educated, in good health, in a free country, with economic means to
self determination. All war is class war. The local/incomer friction is the seat
in every conflict today, and you reflect on the bottom line.
