Just show your true colors and get it over with.
If a white, hispanic or Asian were to say that to a black they would be jumped. Real life experiences tell me this and I have seen it first hand (not for a deportation comment but for something trivial) and if a black were to say that to a person of another race the other person most likely would walk away again real life experiences confirm this. It's the nature of the beast and it is ugly. That is why people come onto boards/threads like this, to voice their opinions and views because there is a greater chance that the person voicing his/her views/opinions will actually be alive the next day where if it were to happen face to face there would almost inevitably be some form of violence.edit on 13-1-2012 by kimish because: (no reason given)

Human capital flight, more commonly referred to as "brain drain", is the large-scale emigration of a large group of individuals with technical skills or knowledge. The reasons usually include two aspects which respectively come from countries and individuals. In terms of countries, the reasons may be social environment (in source countries: lack of opportunities, political instability, economic depression, health risks, etc.; in host countries: rich opportunities, political stability and freedom, developed economy, better living conditions, etc.). In terms of individual reasons, there are family influence (overseas relatives), and personal preference: preference for exploring, ambition for an improved career, etc.

It has been going on for quite some time...so my question(s) would be: when were those IQ measurements taken? Besides that, what source do you have, but more importantly what argument do you have, that explains the differences and backs up your statement?
That wiki page is awesome...it goes on to say:
The term brain drain was coined by the Royal Society to describe the emigration of "scientists and technologists" to North America from post-war Europe.[2] Another source indicates that this term was first used in the United Kingdom to describe the influx of Indian scientist and engineers.
And
Brain drain is common amongst developing nations, such as the former colonies of Africa,[4] the island nations of the Caribbean,[5] and particularly in centralized economies such as former East Germany and the Soviet Union, where marketable skills were not financially rewarded.

I am white, proud of it and always will be.My partner however, is black. She is the love of my life, we have a daughter together who is mixed race. She is neither black nor white.
I'm glad it's working out for you. I went down that road a long time ago and have nothing but bad memories to show for it. I have to stay objective though and realize that I did what I did for selfish reasons, and that my experience isn't typical. It hasn't burned me from black people, but it's given me a perspective that's, shall we say, unique.
For myself personally, I'll never go down that road again. Bad memories aren't something I can let go of. I can learn from my mistakes, but there's always going to be a stigma attached that is going to influence my current decisions. It doesn't make me a rascist, It simply makes me a man that bases his decisions on what he has learned from the past. And if people don't understand that, they need to focus their attention elsewhere and quit paying attention to me.
Again, I'm glad for you and yours.
Best wishes.

They would get jumped? You seem to be stereotyping you arse off. It's fine and dandy, all black people jump other races. That is just what we do. All of us. Your comments are so bigoted you have no point.

This is one of the most racist things I've seen posted on this thread, and that's saying A Lot.

Please, white people will fight over racial remarks too. I live in the south and see it all the time. heck, one poor man got beat damn near to death for looking a a group of white men the wrong way. You are just stereotyping people and I can say nothing else without breaking some rules. I have more respect for the KKK than ATS racists. At least the grand wizards live their lives in the open rather than being nice to your face and stabbing you behind your back.
what most of Western society has now deemed "racist", is really just an extended instinct of self-preservation. Does not the self-preservation instinct extend beyond the proper functioning of ones own physical body into more abstract things like culture and society, making it only natural for a people to want to maintain their unique cultural identity as an extension of themselves?
