You're only calling me a Racist because I'm White Anti Racism is a code word for anti White.
The reaction of your generation to Black people misbehaving is always "But White people are worse! Looooook!", every time without fail.
I was sitting here waiting to pounce on the first Baby Boomer to start up that old White Guilt bandwagon, I was actually pretty shocked to find it was you.
What you're doing is covering for the abject failure of your generation in relation to multiculturalism.
More than that your generation has also failed in every other area, the Boomers are a failed generation and we of the two succeeding generations needn't feel any guilt over kicking you to the kerb at the earliest opportunity.
There's no difference between a boomer Redneck "Racist" and an intellectual Boomer "Anti Racist", since neither of them grew up in a multiracial society their opinions needn't be given the slightest consideration.

It was mentioned by a couple of posters here to justify the riots, that the banks are just as guilty of theft, in reference no doubt to the sub-prime mortage meltdown.

I blame the blacks in America for the sub-prime mortage meltdown. Please correct me if I am wrong.

The democrats, (Bill Clinton's Government),similar to a labour government in Australia, who depend on a lot of the black vote to win power in America, Instructed the banks to not be so tough on lending money to the poor,(majority of whom are blacks) so they could gain access to housing. A wonderful opportunity for black Americans.

The banks knowing the loans were risky sold them on to other financial interests and overseas banks. The black people defaulted on these loans in huge masses. Thus bringing down the world financial markets and the stockmarket.
I put the blame squarely at the feet of the Democrats(labour Government & left wing bleeding heart academics)and the black people in America for the crash.

Would someone please enlighten me if I have got that wrong.
Because that is the impression I was left with by media coverage of it. Although no one ever said this directly. It seems to me that the more we in the West try to help these ethnic groups the more we get dragged down by them.

Sorry, (I just noticed), I should have spelt it mortgage.

"At least I know what I'm talking about, kman."
Of course you do Pericles, and that just confirms my point - only you are right and everybody else is wrong.

"The fantasy part is that they are not "no-go areas" at all. Except to you and Daniel Pipes, of course."

Ah your Daniel Pipes under the bed obsession again. I never once mentioned Pipes; it came from the Brussels Journal...
“In May, the French voters elected Mr. Sarkozy as president because he had promised to restore the authority of the Republic over France’s 751 no-go areas, the so-called zones urbaines sensibles (ZUS, sensitive urban areas), where 5 million people – 8 percent of the population – live….
People get mugged, even murdered, in the ZUS, but the media prefer not to write about it. When large-scale rioting erupts and officers and firemen are attacked, the behaviour of the thugs is condoned with references to their “poverty” and to the “racism” of the indigenous French. The French media never devote their attention to the bleak situation of intimidation and lawlessness in which 8 percent of the population, including many poor indigenous French, are forced to live. Muslim racism towards the “infidels” is never mentioned.” http://www.brusselsjournal.com/node/2868

"Have you ever actually been to France? Or anywhere overseas, for that matter?"
Actually I lived overseas for a few months short of 30 years, and have travelled through many third world countries and have also seen the disastrous results of your multiculture on the people of the west. From bombings to murder, rapes, robberies and civil unrest, while you and your fellow idiots of the west pretend that all is well, and we can all benefit from the fruits of diverse societies…
Trevor Phillips, chairman of the UK's Commission for Racial Equality, having described those with doubts about multiculturalism as "racists" and "xenophobes" (Guardian, 16.2.04 ) suddenly decided two months later that multiculturalism is finished)

"That - along with your pathetic attempt to pigeonhole me as a "retired academic" - is so wide of the mark, it's comical"
So it's laughable that anyone could mistake you for an academic? Sorry for thinking you could be smart enough, and I do apologise to the academics.

"And in Australia.. Tim Priest in an article for Quadrant Jan.-Feb. 2004" ...What has that to do with ZUS?"
It has everything to do with it, because it is an example of what has happened in Europe is now happening in Australia. And here you are pretending to be intelligent.

"But I guess it was about time to change the subject, wasn't it."
I don’t need to change any subject sport because you just got shot down again. But I am tired of your redundant and immature sarcasm, and there is really no point in continuing because…

“Leftists tend to hate anything that has an image of being strong, good and successful. They hate America, they hate Western civilization, they hate white males, they hate rationality. .. [they hate] America and the West because they are strong and successful...

Words like "self-confidence," "self-reliance," "initiative," "enterprise," "optimism," etc., play little role in the liberal and leftist vocabulary. The leftist is anti- individualistic, pro-collectivist. He wants society to solve everyone's problems for them. ... The leftist is antagonistic to the concept of competition because, deep inside, he feels like a loser...” Theodore Kaczynski.

So what’s the point in debating a leftist loser? So I won't be reading any more of your redundant schoolboy leftist tripe, and don't forget to turn the lights off when you go - but first check under the bed for Daniel Pipes!
