Why would any kind of media be against &quot;racism&quot; and why would any media outlet make it a point to have &quot;Israeli&quot; journalists and reporters and most of the articles only portray Jews/Israel in a positive light?</div>

<div>In a development sure to provide a headache for Democrat leaders, it has been revealed that the North Carolina abortionist caught on video explaining how his practice aborting “ugly black babies” is a boon to taxpayers is a regular blue donor. <br />
<br />
“I don’t wish to pay for the baby with my money,” Ashutosh Ron Virmani told pro-life activists with Operation Save America in remarks caught on video and published July 30. “Go ahead and pay for them. Let me see you go ahead and adopt one of those ugly black babies.” <br />
<br />
The Washington Examiner’s Timothy Carney on Tuesday noted Virmani’s political leanings are well-established.<br />
<br />
Records show the Charlotte-based Virmani has given several donations since 2000 to the Democratic National Committee and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, as well as $1,000 to John Kerry in 2004 and $250 to Hillary Clinton in 2008. Barack Obama does not appear on the list.<br />
<br />
Historically, Democrats have an embarrassing record on civil rights: the party opposed civil rights for African Americans, including uniform opposition in Congress to the 14th amendment granting blacks civil rights. The party is also the sole founding party of the Ku Klux Klan: the 1915 Klan propaganda film The Birth of a Nation was described by its director as intended “to revolutionize northern sentiment by a presentation of history that would transform every man in my audience into a good Democrat!” <br />
<br />
In September of last year, black pastor and civil rights activist Rev. Wayne Perryman filed a lawsuit against President Obama and the DNC in U.S. District Court for its history of racism against blacks, which he notes has never elicited an apology.<br />
<br />
“Any organization that has such a racist history and receives 97% of the African American vote (after doing all they could to deny blacks the right to vote), should willingly apologize without being forced do so through a lawsuit,” said Perryman. The activist said he was “convinced that Democrats will only apologize if the media, or the courts (with public pressure) will force them to do so.” <br />
<br />
“The man who authored the book: The Audacity of Hope, now has the ‘audacity’ to refuse to apologize for his political party and their racist institutions, that took the lives of millions of his own people,” he said.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: postbit_external -->
<div>A group of South Shore mayors are reeling after the Parti Québécois government announced its decision Friday to give back 300 hectares of land to the Kahnawake Mohawks.<br />
<br />
The farmland was appropriated in 2006 during construction of the Highway 30 project and will be ceded back to the First Nation in the near future. It lies along the border of Kahnawake, Châteauguay, St-Constant, Ste-Isidore and Ste-Catherine.<br />
<br />
But the mayors claim they were never consulted throughout the process, which led them dumbfounded by Friday’s announcement.<br />
<br />
“Right now, (the PQ) has been talking and negotiating with Kahnawake and telling us on one occasion they pass by and say: ‘Listen, we started to discuss about it with Kahnawake, and we’ll come back and you’ll be part of the process,’ but that never happened,” Châteauguay Mayor Nathalie Simon told CTV Montreal.<br />
<br />
Mohawk band council spokesperson Joe Delaronde said he doesn’t understand the source of controversy.<br />
<br />
“This has been in the works for years now, where’s the surprise,” he told The Gazette. “I guess that’s how it goes sometimes.”<br />
<br />
Delaronde would not comment further on the matter until it is brought before the band council Monday. Reports of negotiations over the 300 hectares were widely publicized in The Gazette and other media as early as July 2012.<br />
<br />
Simon told CTV Montreal she believes the land that will be handed over to the Mohawks belongs to her municipality. Calling the 300 hectares “our territory,” the statement elicited some reaction over Twitter and other social media — with observers noting the irony of a non-aboriginal politician complaining about losing land to an aboriginal reserve.<br />
<br />
This may be the first time since Confederation that land has been given back to the Kahnawake Mohawks. The First Nation is in the preliminary stages of filing a 40,000 acre land claim with the federal government that dates back to the 17th century<br />
<br />

Gun crimes that weren’t fatal fell by 69%.  &quot;</i><br />
 <br />
Do you think the media coverage of mass shootings and/or politicians pushing gun control, or some other factor is the reason for this disconnect?</div>

			In a historic first, Britain may pay thousands of Kenyans for atrocities committed during its colonial rule in the African nation, a development that could pave the way for claims from other former colonies of the UK.<br />
<br />
The British government is negotiating payments to thousands of Kenyans who were detained and severely mistreated during the 1950s Mau-Mau insurgency in what would be the first compensation settlement resulting from official crimes committed under its imperial rule.<br />
<br />
In a development that could pave the way for many other claims from around the world, government lawyers embarked upon the historic talks after suffering a series of defeats in their attempts to prevent elderly survivors of the prison camps from seeking redress through the British courts, a report in The Guardian said.

What do you think of it? Greeks recently were speaking about reparations from Germany for the 2WW. The problem of Jewish claims towards eastern Europe for the post-holocaust possessions left behind is still open.<br />
<br />
Do you think that 'the world' may go in this direction, especially in the face of modern crisises? If all conflicts were analysed the next 50 years could be an arena of ongoing endless disputes.<br />
<br />
Do you think it is a real option? Do you think it is dangerous? Maybe it is fair?</div>

			A New Mexico high school teacher is accused of raping one of her male students in a classroom.<br />
<br />
  Jennifer Vigil, 31, was arrested on Tuesday after a student reported  her for allegedly pressuring him into sex -- in her classroom -- at  Pojoaque Valley High School in Santa Fe, <a href="http://www.abqjournal.com/main/2013/05/02/news/teacher-is-charged-with-raping-1-of-her-students.html" target="_blank">according to the Albuquerque Journal</a>.<br />
<br />
  Vigil maintains that the sex was consensual, but the student  reportedly told police that the idea of sex with her was &quot;disgusting.&quot;  The unidentified minor took a picture of one sex act on his cellphone,  and said that he only consented to sex because Vigil locked the doors  and propositioned him, police said.<br />
  Vigil is suspected of having sex with the male horticulture student  on two separate occasions. The teen reported that on the first occasion,  he was turning in an assignment after school when Vigil said, &quot;<a href="http://www.krqe.com/dpp/news/crime/teacher-arrested-for-sex-with-student" target="_blank">You're not leaving until I get something</a>  from you,&quot; KRQE reports. The student claims he refused her advances but  then later agreed to a sexual act so that he could leave.<br />
  The second time reportedly happened during lunch, moments after Vigil's morning class had cleared the room.<br />
  Vigil reportedly claims it was the student who asked for sexual  favors, and that he's an adult, though Santa Fe County Sheriff's Maj.  Ken Johnson said it doesn't matter.<br />
  &quot;They need be aware regardless on whether it’s consensual, a  teacher-student situation, that it is wrong. That it's against the law,&quot;  he told KRQE.<br />
      Vigil has been teaching at the school for eight years. She's being held at Santa Fe County Jail without bond, <a href="http://abcnewsradioonline.com/albuquerque/teacher-accused-of-rape-involving-student.html" target="_blank">ABC News reports.</a><br />

<br />
^^^ Not bad looking imo. But more to the point:<br />
<br />
If the victim was a child, rather than a teenaged boy, a rape charge would be appropriate. But there's no evidence that teenaged boys are psychologically devastated (or disgusted, as the victims claims) by having sex with teachers. Hence, there's no genuine outrage over incidents like this. <br />
<br />
So why does the legal system punish women teachers who sleep with their students? More than gender fairness it's about appeasing women. Women don't like it when boys have fun. Since sex with a teacher is unsettling for girls, so it should be for boys. This is what women think.<br />
<br />
If the justice system didn't punish these women, women's rights groups would be up in arms.</div>

<div>Israel stroke deep into power structures of Assad-regime last night. Middle East has allways been confusing, to put it mildly, but it's getting even stranger. Israel is now, perhaps unwillingly but still, assisting al-Qaida (Saudi funded) troops at Syria. <br />
<br />
Whats really going on there ?<br />
<br />
1. Saudis are fighting proxy-war against Iran at Syria (using al-Qaida to do the dirty work)<br />
2. Iran is fighting proxy-war against Israel, using Lebanon's territory and Hezbollah troops to do the dirty work<br />
3. U.S is fighting proxy-war against Iran using Saudis to fight proxy-war.. go to number 1. <br />
4. Russia if fighting proxy-war against someone (U.S ?), providing arms to Syria<br />
5. Israel is trying to stop Syria providing logistics for arms traffick between Iran and Hezbollah<br />
6. By doing the number 5., Israel is assisting al-Qaida in Syria :eek:<br />
Edit: 7. Hezbollah is now apparently fighting al-Qaida in Syria<br />
<br />
What a mess. It looks like a recipe for big destruction. I wonder if there is going to escalation of this hotpot in near future and how will it turn out ?</div>

<div>So I have a question about modern views that Spaniards and Portuguese have towards Latin Americans and vice versa. In regards to culture, do Spaniard and Portuguese folk view Latin America as an extension of their culture, or only certain parts of Latin America as an extension or slightly modified extension? Second how do Latin Americans view their cultural forefathers? Is it different in different parts of Latin America? And how do Iberians view Latin Americans racially? Do you acknowledge Iberian ancestry in some Latin Americans? Do you view certain Latin Americans as closer to your people than others or are Latin Americans all mongrels in the eyes of Iberia? And how does Iberian history tackle the huge mongrelization that occurred in Latin America? Is it acknowledged or just brushed over?</div>

<div>Not talking about the classism of the old times, with the hereditary aristocracy and such. Modern classism is based on educational and cultural levels more than anything else. I used to be more of a racialist or &quot;white nationalist&quot; in my youth, but lately I find myself identifying less and less with my race or ancestry in general, and more with my social/educational class. I really find I have a lot more in common with people of Asian or Latino or even North African (I have a very interesting Algerian acquaintance) descent that are educated, cultured and successful in life, than with other Europeans or European-descended people of lower classes. <br />
<br />
While it might be true that our education/culture (and thus social class) depend not just on our own individual worth, but also a lot on our parents and upbringing, that doesn't change the fact that our worth _here and now_ is determined by our cultural/educational/intellectual/creative levels _here and now_. Regardless of how a person got where he/she is now, I'm going to judge him/her based on his/her present worth. <br />
<br />
Also, I have plenty examples of people from disadvantaged or simply regular backgrounds achieving a lot, and people from wealthy families being stupid anti-intellectual trash. It depends a lot on the character traits, on the inborn intelligence, creativeness, work ethics (at least not being lazy) et cetera, not just upbringing. <br />
<br />
I know a guy who moved to the US from Ukraine at 26 years old with like a $500 to his name, his parents were very poor ex-villagers that moved to a town to be factory workers. He took money from a bank, got a mediocre-but-okayish Masters degree, and is a credit risk analyst at a very large multinational today (he's 31 now). He's an opera buff and well versed in philosophy. We're going to be colleagues at McKinsey starting this September. <br />
<br />
Another girl (this Algerian I mentioned) comes from a refugee family in France. She has like 10 siblings and her family were piss poor religious fanatics that wouldn't let her go to school. She ran off to social services, got into college on a scholarship. We worked on our PhDs at the same department for the last 3 years. <br />
<br />
I myself didn't have the most priveleged upbringing either. Wasn't that bad compared to many others, but still. My parents were immigrants to the UK from Lithuania and Poland, my mother died when I was a kid, so my father was a single dad. He worked a lot, and we did okay, but still money was tight. I got into college on a partial athletic scholarship (swimming) and worked in a sportswear store. When my father died, I was 18. I got a 2nd job at my University in the lab, and later entered a Masters program. I'm now finishing my PhD in Italy and starting my new job at one of the 3 most prestigious management consulting firms in the world. <br />
<br />
I really do not feel I have anything in common with people of lower classes. Everybody has opportunities in the modern world, people who do not use them are simply not smart enough, or not willing to work hard enough. I can't identify with them or empathize with them.</div>
