can you please stop making this about "us vs. them", call it what itis...white men are generally unjustifiably barbaric in nature.
there's nothing racist in that statement.
bill maher is white and you are his fan, do you think he is barbaric in nature? what about the counter-culture of the 60's-70's, white people who wanted PEACE for all? the problem isn't a specific race of people. it is the culture/society that creates bigots. beginning with the great tradition of watching football every sunday, "supporting" the troops, shooting guns for fun and killing animals... for fun, etc... in other words, anything that's "fast and hard" "the bigger the better". of course there is more to american culture but these are some of the things that in my opinion create a society that will eat itself up due to over-consumption. capitalism has failed us and we need some type of hybrid economy to bring us out of this mini depression and never put us in a similar situation in the future. in the meantime, you have groups of bigots crying "socialism". these are just concepts that can always be altered to benefit us. the bigots are seeing pictures in their head of russian tanks and che guevara storming through the streets(thats their idea of socialism). these people don't even know what they are protesting. they take orders from people in the entertainment industry for crying out loud. it's sad but most people in this country seem to just want to be entertained. people are scared of change and for lack of a better word... they are simply cowards. people are happy living sedated lives, glued to the TV, waiting to be told what to do next, what to buy next, etc... taking orders like a dog does. that's not helping anyone use their mental faculties and grow as human beings.
in conclusion, don't let culture use you. you are worth more than that, you owe it to yourself. use culture to create your own idea of what culture should be.
