USA and Racism


Racism has been a major issue in America since the colonial era. Historically, the country has been dominated by a settler society of religiously and ethnically diverse Whites . Major racially structured institutions include slavery, settlement, Indian reservations, segregation, residential schools and internment camps(Indians). Racial stratification has occurred in employment, housing, education and government. Although racial discrimination was largely criminalized in the mid-20th century, major inequalities persist.

The heaviest burdens of racism in the country have fallen upon Native Amis, Asian Amis, Blacks, Latinos and some other immigrants and their descendants. Racist attitudes, and prejudice are still held by substantial portions of the population. Members of every American ethnic group have perceived racism in their dealings with other groups.

These are some of the facts, and the fact that the US Administration counter argues against official impeachments by the independent human rights groups that we are free and equal, because we are "OPEN" about it (Racism)... is nothing but a sign of acknowledgment, and furthermore a sign of tolerance...... and considering the present US regime (Bush & Chenney) or should I rather say (Chenney & Bush) a sign of unadulterated ignorance.

Placing a Black Foreign minister that actually is only there to do as he or she is told.. is not an argument that would hold anywhere. /Powel with his UNSC debacle and Rice with her personal antipathy against Iranians (she had an Iranian boyfriend who dumped her, because his mother didn't like him marrying such an ugly girl, quote, "he could do better"... which was relayed to Rice by a common friend but instead of "ugly" this friend said "Black" girl.....)

Whatever the case, the Americans who happen to influence the whole world with their votes should start Voting a bit more responsibly and may be prove to the World that they want "Change" and Vote Obama into the White house... maybe they(Americans) will get rewarded with the respect they so pathologically crave for throughout the world.

Obama is good...he hates his past with islam and is so ashamed that he kicks out muslims when photographing. I am voting for him as he is the most suitable Christian to rid the world of evil islam.

The Sanctions

Mr. M. Sahimi wrote "When she was running for president in 2008, Hillary Rodham Clinton threatened to obliterate Iran if it attacked Israel. Her opponent, Barack Obama, responded that Clinton’s threat was "too much like Bush" Four years later Iran has not attacked Israel (and will not do so, unless attacked by Israel first), but President Obama is actually carrying out the threat that his current secretary of state made in 2008, waging an undeclared war on Iran and Iranians. The U.S. and Israel have launched cyber attacks, assassinated Iranian nuclear scientists , and supported armed ethnic groups that carry out terrorist operations inside Iran, killing innocent people. In addition, Israel has been active in the  Kurdistan region of Iraq and in the Republic of Azerbaijan , encouraging and supporting small separatist movements among Iranian ethnic groups, such as the Kurds and Azeris. But the most devastating part of the undeclared war on Iran is the tough econ

Chaldoran 1514 AD

Image
It was late summer in the year 1514, and Iran had a new dynasty in power(The Safavid 1501-1722). The distinctive difference here was the fact that the Safavids were the first "Shia" dynasty that used all methods in the book to convert all Iranians into a homogeneous religion, since the "Iranshahr" factor (which was the name that Iranians used for their country) did not seem enough to mobilize a sense of national unity to refute new national threats, mainly the Afghans and the Turks. The Safavid used issues like the marriage of "BiBi-Shahrbanu" (sister of the last Sassanid King) with "Imam Hussain" and the fact that the fourth Shia "Imam Zein-Ol-Abedin" had not only prophet blood, but also Iranian Royal blood, which stimulated nationalistic feelings of even the most fanatic Sunni Iranians to convert. Furthermore the most convincing argument, was the sword and the famous sentence attributed to the founder of this dynasty was "Either

Wikihoax on Iran

Image
Here are some of the supposed leaks on Iran, mixed with some true ones concerning other countries and their heads of states or controversial ministers (of course harmless ones), making it a bit problematic and that much harder for consumers of such information to "not" believe. Always remember,the most talked about issue amongst all heads of states without exception is and has been the mother of all conflicts (namely the Israeli & Palestinian conflict). Yet there is not a single word issued from anywhere or anyone, not even sworn enemies of one or the other states.... If that did not give you a reason to doubt then nothing else shall. When something smells like a fish, swims like a fish, then it must be a fish.This Wikileaks business has been the target of an article by this site (Here) So needless to emphasize anymore about disbelieving the authenticity of the content of wikileaks concerning Iran. Nonetheless, here are the Iran related ones. US Embassy Ottawa (2008) .. T
