rising up out of the back seat-nuh

Are you saying it's institutionalised, unpenalised, and commonly accepted, as it is in France? I can only speak from personal experience, but I've always thought of the rise of the far-left in France as similar to the rise of the BNP. Both are born out of a similar disenchantment to "foreigners" as the Nazi party. People see rising unemployment, and blame it on an influx of foreigners. In the UK, this is asians and africans, in France it is the Jewish and non-whites. Hell, they happened at the both times and coincided with a similar rise in hate crimes on both sides of the channel. However, the rise of these parties do not coincide with the view of the nation. I pop over to France at least once a month (hell, it's less than $15 for a day return, cheaper than getting a train to London, and much more satisfying) and I haven't seen any signs of racism/ anti-semitism, such as grafiti, a lack of any particular race or the like. All the French people I have spoken to are disgusted by Le Pen's result in the elections in 2002. Hell, I went to one of the protest rallies, and that had a pretty good turn-out and no opposition. From this, and the parrallels in Britain, I can honestly say that I do not believe France racism is "institutionalised, unpenalised, and commonly accepted" in France. It's certainly not a massive movement in France by any means, and it's never going to lead to a nationalistic government. If anything, it's a social faux pas to admit to anti-semitic views. And, from the Americans I've spoken to, it's very similar to the situation in the USA.

Technically, genetics.

And to claim that it is without any proof whatsoever is ridiculous. Are you saying that there is no racism in America?

No. In racial terms, black people tend to have less education than white people. It makes no sense at all for them to be proportionally represented. In this administration, people are appointed to the top jobs because of their competence, not because the President wants to create a cabinet that "looks like America." I thought it evened out more in higher education.

You're lucky. My #1 fan's Johnson... Only in your wettest dream, you sick son of a bitch. You suck at being my #1 fan!

Fair play.

Well, when you make a statement about how all the higher ups in the US government being white males, despite the black secrtary of state and the black female national security advisor, well, you know, you're wrong. I still stand by my point that in any predominantly white hierachy, it's going to be hard for a black person to break into that. So how did two (Three with Thomas) do it? Based purely on merit, admitedly. But I'm sure that more than just those three black people in the whole of America deserve to be in those positions of power.

Why SHOULD children be "properly" represented? Their friggin' CHILDREN. -=Mike --- Kids don't know what they want. I meant the rights of children. Schools, child safety, places for them to frolic. That sort of thing. Kids still frolic? I thought that was deemed "gay." Here they "chill" or "hang" Only when adults are looking. As soon as they turn their backs, kids start frolicing, gamboling and getting up to all sorts of crazy shenanegans.

I may be missing something, but isn't EctoCooler Eagan? He showed up when Eagan was suspended, they've both got a love of pictures and they both post in the same folders. Or did I get my wires crossed somewhere along the lines...

Meh, it's just a publicity stunt to point out that children aren't properly represented by the German government. There's no way anyone with a grip on reality thinks this is gonna go through.

Well, someone doesn't agree with me

But if Colin Powell did he almost certainly would win. OMG, BIAS! I would be damn surprised if he did. He is very popular in the US, and right now if he were running for President against the Democratic contenders he'd literally wipe the floor with anyone. But that's as much to do with the state of the Democrats as him. Would he ever get the chance to run as a presidential candidate? Again, yes, absoutely. Why wouldn't the Republicans want him? He's an incredibly strong and charismatic candidate. Also, it's not just the state of the Democrats. The guy has a serious following. Regardless of party a lot of Americans like Colin Powell, but I don't think you seem to understand that. I honestly wouldn't know. I've read some negative stuff about Powell, but that may just be because it was written by non-Americans...

Like the State Department? And the National Security Council? I'll relay that to General Powell and Dr Rice. I'm sure they'll be very interested to hear your views. Could you tell me who these white males are? If they're subverting presidential appointments, I'm sure the President would like to hear about it as well. Are you saying that white middle-aged males MUST BE prejudiced against black people simply because they're white middle-aged males? I'm confused, were you trying to accuse someone of racism or were you trying to establish the fact that you are a racist yourself? Many people are inherently rascist against other races. I'm not saying it's right, but it happens. I'm also not saying that America is any more rascist than other countries, but there is a history of racism in your country comparable to anti-semitism in France, and to say that it's not still present is just naive.

The higher levels of American Governments are controlled by white middle-aged males. Are you honestly saying that they are not prejudiced against black people in any way? This all goes back to the arguement about whether a president would be elected if he was black. For example, if Bush was black, would he be president now? Probably not. As for your links, I'm sure I called you up on one before, but I'm too lazy to do my research so I'll just accuse blindly
