‘Genocide’? I dont know if any mass slaughter happened. But the Philistines and Canaanites were defeated by the Hebrews. Ive read, however, that the Philistines and Canaanites assimilated with Arabs of that area (adopted Arab/Islamic culture, Arabic language, etc.) and eventually ‘melted’ together, if you will, and whose modern day descendants are they who are called the Palestinians.

The US flag flew over the capital of many a slave state, not to mention Manifest Destiny (stealing land from and murdering Indians and Mexicans) declared in the name of the USA. The North was founded and built on slavery just like the South. So if the Confederate flag means slavery, the US flag means slavery and genocide. By the way Abe is not the mythical liberator of blacks many would have you believe, he was as racist as they came. Read about the REAL Lincoln, he couldn’t’ve cared less about blacks. He declared war on the CSA to ‘preserve’ the Union, he didnt care about the well being of any African-American. Lastly, the CSA was wrong with slavery, but they did not commit treason, there is nothing in the constitution that says a state(s) cannot withdrawal from the union. Meaning the ‘Civil War’ was not only unconstitutional, THERE WAS NO CIVIL WAR. The US invaded the South and captured it, period. Remember, the South wanted independence, not to take over the North, as Lincoln wanted, and did to the South. Same thing is going on now, if Hawaii wants independence, there is nothing in the constitution that says they cannot have it. If Key West wants to declare independence from the state of Florida and the USA, so be it. Same for Puerto Rico, if they decide they dont want to be a territory anymore, give them freedom. If we dont we are acting as imperialists not a ‘democracy.’

Not to mention brown eyes as well? Sounds like we Whites are the odd ones out on hair (and eye) color, not Blacks. As for textures: Orientals, Eskimos and Amerindians only have straight hair, though Arabs, Aussie natives, and South and East Indians vary a little in texture, i think. As far as why? Geography is my best guess, but that explains little (esp. the color issue).

Though I don’t think there are any pure-blooded Hebrews anymore, they probably completely mixed with Europeans since their exile from Israel millenia ago. The ‘I’m Jewish’ is probably the same reason a half-white, half-black person may often say ‘I’m black.’ Society regards and treats them as such, hence they identify with that heritage the most.

Name : Andres, Gender : M, Race : White/Caucasian, Religion : Catholic, Age : 25, City : Chambersburg, State : PA, Country : United States,unfortunately yes. of course it is typical of american culture to mock foriegners in movies, tv shows, etc. i also live in a rather isolated small town who think europe is another planet and in general are ignorant of worldly cultures and many are just plain not interested. i myself am not this sheltered and am aware of Britian’s various ethnic groups (of course only through reading, tv, news, and other research; never been there, or met an actual Briton). i read somewhere that the UK’s non-Brit population is about %30, does that sound accurate Nehal? i could ask you one question: Do many Brits curse constantly? In the documentaries about UK punk rock groups ive seen they cant finish a sentence without swearing.

Name : Andres, Gender : M, Race : White/Caucasian, Religion : Catholic, Age : 25, City : Chambersburg, State : PA, Country : United States,If a team called the Redskins is OK, then why dont we have a team called the Darkies? the Wetbacks? the Slant Eyes? the Rag Heads? the White Breads? Why, b/c it is undubiously understood in American culture that painting your face black, putting on an afro whig, waving foam chicken wings and agitating the opposing team with ghetto talk is racist (which it is). But for some reason wearing ‘war paint’ and a feather headband, whooping, dancing and waving foam tomahawks, and basically making a mockery of Native Americans is seen as ‘honoring Native American bravery’ as ive read in many newspaper articles on those who advocate these teams. It wasnt all that long ago when cartoons on tv portrayed Blacks as having charcoal black skin, ruby red lips, and being dancing, singing, watermelon chomping, chicken bone licking fools. The cartoons have since ended. However, I suspect it will be harder to change any of these people’s minds since the team names have been with these schools for generations, as have the families. Hence, ignorance is a part of their culture. Can you believe they actually think they are honoring Native Americans? Most of them probably know little to nothing about the culture, as is evident by the names and mascots of these teams that are riddled in stereotype. I think in general many whites cant understand what is racist b/c for far too long they have been the discriminators (not to mention the privalleged majority) and rarely to never have been the discriminated. However, when the table is turned on them (ive heard expression of discontent over the ‘Fighting Whities’ name from whites) they suddenly get very defensive.
