Sources of racism have reversed in the US.

quote:
“I am so old that I can remember when most of the people promoting race hate were white.”

“According to a recent Rasmussen poll, 31% of blacks think that most blacks are racists, while 24% of blacks think that most whites are racist.”

“Among whites, according to the same Rasmussen poll, 38% consider most blacks racist and 10% consider most whites racist.”

Taxcutter notes:
Both blacks and whites know the real score.

Quote:
“This was the history of anti-Semitic movements in Eastern Europe between the two World Wars, anti-Ibo movements in Nigeria in the 1960s, and anti-Tamil movements that turned Sri Lanka from a peaceful nation into a scene of lethal mob violence and then decades-long civil war, both marked by unspeakable atrocities.”

Taxcutter says:
Today’s racism holds the same dangers as racism past.

BTW ... I don't think Raacism will ever get that bad ... haven't seen many Tar-n-Feathers or hanging lately.

BTW ... I don't see many white people being turned away from Voting either ...

IMO even the term "reverse racism" in and of itself is racist. It implies that people who aren't white cannot be racist, only reverse racist.

Which defeats the whole point of not being racist.

That being said, no one should be denigrated for the color of their skin nor should they face discrimination irrespective of what color they have been born to. Public policy should seek to advance people's abilities to be independent and any policy that does not do that has failed in its mandate.

Well, right. According to the reigning anthropology a community is no more than the sum of the individuals comprising it. That is, it doesn't exist.

That is, it doesn't exist.What you are looking for can only be found in small towns with static populations. They still exist. The question is whether you would actually like it. The down side of such communities is that everybody knows and minds everyone else's business. Your ideal of community never really existed. Just because people are not ethnically diverse, doesn't mean that they all get along, that there isn't crime, and that there aren't people who are considered low life types. Take away racial or ethnic diversity and people revert to the class system. Monkey pecking order.

That's the only fundamental difference.The anonymous state is in part a product of large urban centers. Secondarily people have less reason to socialize than ever before. You might say that the radio was the beginning of the end. With radio people had less reason to talk to each other for information. Add TV, the internet, cell phones and texting and people never have to leave their homes. Anonymity. You would have to join the Amish to recreate the community of old times.

Anti-semitic movements in Easten Europe between the first and second world wars? Really? Are you sure? So they were the first though right? I think we can still blame Hitler. It was Hitler that turned most of Europe against the chosen people.

Anti-American groups seem to be all the rage these days.

edit- I dont care what kind of American you are though. You are all the same to me. So I guess anti-Americanism isnt racism. Nationism?

Im pretty sure I think the American public is much worse than your corporate overlords.

As long as the American public ends up doomed I dont even care if your overlords either move or make the USA like South Africa ( Rich in razor wire gated communities and general public are third world. ) Let them get away with it. As long as the US public is doomed I dont care.

The American public is the real problem. Americans are the problem.

edit- The conditions that gave rise to evil Hitler exist again in Europe today. A new Hitler lives in Europe today. We just havent met him yet. Or does he live in the Middle East? Maybe there will be more than one.

USA cause GFC. GFC cause Europe to collapse. IMF enslaves Europe. USA=IMF.

But I think you are right I think we should stop giving all the money and medical aid to the rest of the world and give to our farmers to not grow crops for a decade? Let about a third of the worlds population starve to death and maybe they would change their mind.

http://thepoliticalforums.com/threads/5598-Critique-of-liberal-ideology

Individualism is a basis of liberal ideology and it tends to destroy social ties. Liberalism envisions a man who is not fundamentally social.

In the modern sense of the term, individualism is the philosophy that
regards the individual as the only reality and takes him as the principle of
every evaluation. The individual is considered in himself, in abstraction
from his social or cultural context. While holism expresses or justifies
existing society in reference to values that are inherited, passed on, and
shared, i.e., in the last analysis, in reference to society itself, individualism
establishes its values independently of society as it finds it. This is why it
does not recognize the autonomous status of communities, peoples,
cultures, or nations. For it sees these entities as nothing but sums of
individual atoms, which alone have value.

I agree with this. You don't. That's fine.

Even without liberalism, cultures and communities will change. It is the nature of man and especially so in the context of a technological world. The world is a much smaller place than it once was. People can no longer live in isolation unless they live like the Amish. Take places like Iran for instance. No liberalism there, but the young people are exposed to ideas from the rest of the world and so have changed and are now demanding change in their own country.

I suppose on some views it is, but on others it's not. In groups something else emerges from that interaction and feeds back on the parts. A simple example is found in traffic patterns which cannot be explained as the sum of all vehicles/drivers. A more complex example is the free market.

Who said it was? I think individualism has primordial roots in Western man. As a political and social philosophy, however, liberals have been the standard bearers of individualism since the Enlightenment. You seem to be confusing cause and effect as well as change and disintegration or atomization. What is interesting to me is that liberals rally around core values regardless of their economic disagreements.

Why? At the core of all liberal views are the ideas of liberty and equality.

Actually I see two liberal traditions, one focused on liberty, the freedom to pursue happiness, and the other focused on equality, freedom from such responsibility handed over to government. See F. A. Hayek's expose on the difference between the Scottish/English tradition of liberty and the French/Continental traditional of equality in "Liberalism" (http://www.scribd.com/doc/8760510/Hayek-Liberalism).

Liberals do diverge into two main groups. Those who lean toward libertarian values and those who are social liberals. I would not think that equality is lost in either group.

Equality means different things to each branch of liberalism. One advocates equality before the law in pursuit of happiness, the other equality by law of results.

To me this is not an either or situation. Social liberals believe in equality before the law in the pursuit of happiness as well as equality of outcome, however there is variation as to the degree of the latter that is viewed as optimal.

To me this is not an either or situation. Social liberals believe in equality before the law in the pursuit of happiness as well as equality of outcome, however there is variation as to the degree of the latter that is viewed as optimal.

The two are opposing concepts. The only way to achieve equal outcomes is by unequal means, this the collectivist central planning of the redistribution of wealth. That equality by violates equality before the law.
