Today I met a racist
   
Edited on Sun May-23-10 10:39 PM by wcast
Oh, I'm sure she doesn't think she is a racist, but deep down, she is. She is your typical divorced, suburban mother, someone who probably encounters very few minorities of any kind in her day to day life, but assuredly, very few if any people from the Middle East.

Here's how it went. I'm at my daughter's soccer game, and my buddy and I start talking with this woman, who also has a daughter on the team. This is the first time I've met her. We get talking about our respective school districts (we are both teachers), and we talk about foreign languages. As we start to talk about the teaching of Arabic, she begins to weave this fantastic tale of how Arabs (her words) were out-breeding us by a 5 to 1 ratio, how in 40 years they will be the majority and us (White, European descendants) were soon going to be outnumbered, and our grandchildren will be speaking Arabic as they will control the country and vote it as the official language.

By this point I'm mad for several reasons. 1. She is totally misinformed, and it's hard for me to believe she has a college degree. 2. My daughter, who plays on the same team as her daughter, is bi-racial as I'm white and her mom is AA. She's talking about Whites being outnumbered with me?!! 3. I know she had to hear this from one of three places; Limbaugh, Beck, or her latest Klan meeting.

I don't want to start a huge argument with this woman, so I say I do agree with her numbers, that by 2050 Whites will be the minority in the US. Of course, that's if you lump all minorities in this group. But, I say, Whites will still be in control as they control all of the power structures and most of the wealth. She then says, Oh, I don't think that is true, to which I reply, it seemed to work out well in South Africa, where the minority White population controlled the Black majority for one hundred years.

That was the end of the conversation. She immediately turned around in her seat, and became totally engrossed in the warm-ups. I sat there a few minutes and then took a walk to cool down. I still had a soccer game to watch, and couldn't risk losing my cool, which has been known to happen. I know there are people out there like this, but it's always a shock when an educated person, someone who is probably a very nice individual, spouts such ridiculous garbage. Is this what people worry about!!! I can honestly say I have never once thought, I better get to breeding with a White woman so we are not overrun. In my way of thinking, "Arab" is code. It could easily be Blacks, Mexicans, etc. It makes it easier to understand why all of these White people are losing their minds with Obama as President. They are afraid of losing their White privilege. No matter how far you think you've come, there is still a long way to go.

2. My response
   
"So, in your opinion, us white folks are going to be outnumbered real soon. Hmmmm. Do you think it's too late to start treating other people with respect, or are we screwed either way? I mean, if them there minororities treat us even one-tenth as bad as we've treated them, we're in a world of hurt."

What about Mecha and the rest of the Reconquista movement? What about the Black Panthers? White supremacy is not the only kind of racism that exists.

the only ones who were known republicans were men, typically ones that doubles as coaches.

33. I had a high school social studies teacher who was male, a coach,
   
and spouted gay bashing rhetoric during his classes. Not all the time, but every once in a while.

people who live in FEAR are hard to handle, they make you very angry when they espouse their talking points like a little robot. I also have the same issue with getting mad and wanting to argue. I think the main thing is we will never change their thinking but we sure as hell will outnumber them. Hey! Welcome to DU!

Funny you idiots talk about fear, after peeing your pants in terror over the oil slick.

8. Thanks for the welcome
   
I've read DU for years, but have only recently begun to post. I think you are right. Fear is the motivating factor. As a poster above noted, maybe they are afraid they will get treated as they've been treating minorities for years.

First bullshit. That was a horribly written bouncy. No cops in bushes jumping out while Cheney watches and rubs his hands in glee that another DUmbass is going to the Halliburton run FEMA camps.

Second. I meet racists every day. They post on the DUmp and I read their mental diarrhea.

[Ballygrl]

The woman is right about the procreation rate of those from the Middle East, it's not such a problem for us because people from the Middle East make up a little over 1% of our population, but it sure as heck is a problem for people in Europe and it's a problem because when they get to a certain percentage in comes Sharia Law and bye bye Western Civilization.

I thought it was the lax immigration laws that were allowing Middle Easterners to gain in population in Europe.

About 10% of London's population is Muslim, and they're procreating at a higher rate. I think right now overall Muslims make-up 2% of Britains population, but their population is about 60 million so it's going to take them less time then it would here to become a group that could wield significant power.

Its easy for them to wield power when the population and government are pure PC Dhimmi's

That's the problem, Western nations want to be PC, we don't want to offend anybody even if it means our way of life is at stake.

They will wield power long before they become a majority thanks to the country's political correctness.

[The Village Idiot]

Yup, that was my answer too.

[thundley4]

They will wield power long before they become a majority thanks to the country's political correctness.

And fear of reprisal and riots from the Muslims.

[Ballygrl]

I can't find it now, but I read a few months ago that in the UK Muslims just have to reach the 20% mark and they would wield significant power then, so yes they don't have to be a majority to become powerful.

The DUmmy that cried "RACIST."

Don't work no more cause been tried too often with no evidence.

[LC EFA]

In my way of thinking, "Arab" is code. It could easily be Blacks, Mexicans, etc. It makes it easier to understand why all of these White people are losing their minds with Obama as President.

You Fail DUmmy.

That shit right there - is about as racist as you can get.

[ROCKURWORLD]

Arab isn't a race. Most middle eastern people are considered Caucasian.

MY REPLY:

"If we do become the sweetest white people ever do you think your Arab overlords will allow you to worship or not worship as you see fit without penalty? Will they allow you to openly criticize them? Will you be able to vote against them for a jug-eared, half-white guy who promises change?

"An how will they use their power? Will they use billion-dollar warships to provide fresh water, bread and medical aid to tsunami victims? Will they put an end to dictatorships then spend their wealth to rebuild those nations as vibrant equals in the community of nations?

"What about your politics? Do you think they will publicly debate the merits of a book like "Heather Has Two Mommies"? Will they spend their tax dollars on Piss Mohammed? Will your daughter be allowed to keep her clitoris?

"And finally: Why is noticing we are being out-bred 5 to 1 suddenly racist when liberals bitch incessantly about anything above zero population growth?"

[Karin]

I know this is broad-brush, but the OP might be shocked to find out how racist Arabs are.  They clearly believe blacks are very, very inferior to themselves.  My X's grandfather even owned slaves (in the West Bank).  They think that blacks smell bad, and only certain ones would be allowed in the house.  They use the N word constantly. 

[SSG Snuggle Bunny]

They think that blacks smell bad...

That's the pot calling the kettle--

It especially doesn't help that they have the highest percentage of first cousin marriages in the world.

Heh. And who was doing most of the rounding up and selling of Africans in the slave trade?

But biracial mama lady, if her story is true, thinks these people are her buds.

Oh, and it doesn't matter if you think you're not a racist--only the enlightened of the "progressives" have the cred to make that call. The arrogance of these people passes beyond all belief.

[AllosaursRus]

Why don't any of these asshats show up at my granddaughters soccer games?????????

I must be living in bliss! I never run into people who think like this.

Not once at the grocery store

Not once at Napa

Not once in Wal Mart

Not once in Taco Bell

Not once in Home Depot

Not once at Wallgreens

Not once at my Brother's birthday party

Not once at the liquor store

Not once..................

I didn't know they had a DU meetup today....   

[terry]

The number of stupid teachers who make up stories and post them over there, is astounding and scary.
