One good way to shove whites off the stage of the society they built is by displacing their image. It's noticeable everywhere: advertising, television, magazines, billboards, movies and other media. As a new parent, I've come to notice how this is happening even in a child's world. At the local Barnes & Noble the other day, I noticed a book, "I Am a Black Child," which unapologetically told black children that it's wonderful to be black, your ancestors are kings and queens, and so on. Imagine "I Am a White Child." At a 2-year-old's birthday party recently, one present was a toy fire truck featuring a sole firefighter figure: a black male. This is especially tweaking in light of the fact that firefighters even today are a predominately white group, so much so that lawsuits have been filed claiming that black would-be firefighters are discriminated against. But the message is clear for the child: the normal course is for blacks to be firefighters. Like "Dora the Explorer," the Hispanic child adventure character, it is pure propaganda, meant to affirm other groups and exclude whites. Another bizarre gift was a book featuring animals on the cover and a single example of "baby": again, a black figure. Message: Babies are black. Black is normal. Accept black. Accept it before you can even walk. For whites in America, raising children is hard enough, but made harder still by the exclusion and denigration of the books, toys and other products that fill the shelves of the baby store. Maybe it's time for explicitly white-themed books and toys for white children. How could non-white groups possibly complain, with books like "I Am a Black Child" around?

It's been happening for years. I watched the 1st few episodes of Jericho, and they had a black guy who was rather mysterious. The obvious impression one got was that he was involved in the nuking of the various cities. I have no idea how the series went, but I'm positive (without knowing for sure) that he turned out to be a hero. It can be no other way today.
I've noticed this too. There's this book we have "Do you know blue?" and one page pushes interracial freindship between a black boy and a white girl. OTOH, we have a book "Are you my mommy?" about a lost kitten who wanders around a farm looking for his mom. He goes up to different animals and asks them if they're his mommy. Each one answers no, and explains why. The chicken has fluffy feathers. The pig has pink skin. The frog has green and slippery skin. He eventually finds his mom, and she says her coat his warm and furry just like his. "You are my mommy!"
Keisha Brown, 21, from Chicago, whose mother has a nightgown with a picture of Obama on it, said, “Everything will be different now.”
I'll no doubt incur the wrath of the board with my comments again as I did upon my response to the editorial about a gay monument in Germany, but here goes... Why do you feel so threatened? There are black firemen. I could understand if one pointed out a historical or otherwise factual inaccuracy, but there is nothing inaccurate about depicting a black fireman. Given the size of Toys-R- Us, I am guessing there are plenty of toys with white people depicted so you don't have to feel uncomfortable about exposing your child to people who aren't exactly like him or her. After all, it would be awful if your child grew up thinking that people with dark skin were simply people with dark skin as opposed to people to be feared, suspicious of and avoided, wouldn't it? Imagine... if your child grew up thinking people with dark skin were simply people with dark skin, they might even fall in love with and even marry one of "them." And that would just ruin your whole day, wouldn't it?
When the government wants to take your life (capital punishment), they must first convict you of a crime, thus fulfilling the due process clause of the 5th amendment. When they want to take your liberty (imprisonment), they must first convict you of a crime, thus fulfilling the due process clause of the fifth amendment. When they want to take your property, they must hold a city council meeting, condemn your property via eminent domain, and convict you of nothing other than having property someone else is wants to develop. So when exactly did we pass that amendment striking the word property from the due process clause of the fifth amendment? - Brian Jones
Notice on the internet "brides" for sale from most parts of the world, except Africa? Dont take a look at the world, even Africa, people prefer their own.
Miscegenation produces mulatto's like Hussein Obama. 'Nuff said.
And to this I say, hallelujah.
White debbil!!

The white race in this world is a small minority and getting smaller every year. The ills of the world have been laid upon us, if only we would marry a colored person the world would be a better place??????? What BS.
Especially Africa. The fact is, Western European people are the LEAST xenophobic people on Earth. Blacks, Asians, and Middle Eastern people get much better treatment in America and Europe than African, Asian, and Middle Eastern nations treat outsiders.
I am a pure unadulterated racist by my OWN standards. I prefer my own race. Only in white majority countries do we see constant push for "diversity" and all this racial BS. Does Japan encourage Africans to migrate there???? China???? Israel had to pass a law to force their people into taking the blacks from Somalia and we all know Jews are for diversity.
Spoken like a true Marxist. Above, Marx and Guevera discuss minorities.
And... And whatever evils exist in your mind due to miscegenation, far greater evils have resulted from efforts to prevent it.

Correction... most people prefer their own. The reasons are many including as I allude to, lack of social interaction with people who are different. Notice the large number of veterans that end up marrying someone they met while overseas, especially Asian women.

They can push this propaganda all they want but it won't work.
It is impossible to decutify me.
You're a crackpot. Dumas was only part black, and Rivera is white, as is Raquel Welch and James Watson. By the way, Wood's father ignored his pure black children and invested everything in his yellow-skinned offspring. Even he knew blacks are an inferior race. Someday they might be as extinct as the Dodo bird. I believe it was Thoreau who suggested that. You might fit in better at a crackpot site like Democrat Umderground.

You're showing your true colors, pun intended -- and I'm the crackpot. wow. re: your suggestion about Democratic Underground -- I don't know about that, but I really did think Freedom4um was about individual freedom, not hate baiting. I am finding that whateve overlap we might have, I can't stomach the level of bigotry, prejudice and jingoism I find here. It truly saddens me to think the liberty movement has within it people with such attitudes. I wish you all the best of luck and much enlightenment.

WW2 had nearly 16 million veterans, "thousands" married outside their race. There is a mitigating factor you have overlooked, men without women for a long period of time is an abnormal situation. For instance, homosexuals did not bring home foreign homosexual men, because there was no NEED to.
I hope you realize we "stomach" you. There is no perfect world where everyone thinks as you do, that is fantasy land, so your self righteousness is misplaced.
If you aren't teaching your daughter to be suspicious and to avoid a group of black males she encounters while in public, then you are negligent as a parent.
A quote attributed to Voltaire comes to mind. Because it is of questionable source, it is also paraphrased, but whatever the original wording or source, I love it and aspire to it... I seek not to shut you up, only to distance myself from this exchange in favor of endeavors where I can see my influence achieving change of greater degree and extent. If anybody wants to contact me directly, they may do so at brian kent jones at gmail dot com. The spaces, the "at" and the "dot" of course need to be converted to non-spaces, @ and . respectively. Bye (as soon as I can figure out how to remove myself)

Distance???? Your own bigotry, bias and hatred of "others" is showing.
You got it, bub. I'm a racist. Nearly everything in the world was invented by Europeans from northern Italy, across France and Germany, through northern Europe, and through England and Scotland. Blacks have invented nothing. The only thing they can do is music and sports, and they've degraded them with rap and jigaboo dances in the end zone. If they had never existed, the world would have never noticed. Anyone who thinks James Watson is the slightest bit black is a crackpot.
It is impossible to decutify me.
I stand corrected -- not crackpot, but traitor.

It's funny that you mention Watson. He recently called a spade a spade on race differences and was crucified for it. http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,22615558-663,00.html
Jeff has departed for far more enlightened digs than 4um. He could not stomach anyone that did not agree with him. I feel really bad about that, yes I do, really.
Watson took a DNA test and came up one-quarter black. This of course is nonsense, and doesn't say much for DNA tests.
It is impossible to decutify me.
He was clearly a leftist, and they think anyone who disagrees with them is evil. So be it, I can live with it.
