You really don't understand this website if you post that "I can Save the World" drivel above.

No one here advocates violence or anger or hate on other races so stop trying to make people think that we are. Or is your argument so goddamn weak you can't think of anything else to say.

In your post above, you say AA vs. Asian, yet you stereotype Asian parents. Sorry, that stereotype might apply to foreign raised Asian parents but not to AA parents. About 1/3 of Asians in America are U.S.-born and that will continue to grow. There is a real distinction between AA and native Asian and really, you have ABSOLUTELY no credibility if you cannot figure out the two.

As Andrew Chin once stated, native Asians are in the best position to carry/evolve on traditional Asian culture. AAs are better off with a race based identity.

And are you truly blind to the fear and divisions among native Asian ethnicities. You keep advocating native Asian cultures as a solution, well tell how the heck foreign native Asian cultures (of which there are many) can supposedly integrate us into American society. It only makes us more FOREIGN. And if native Asian cultures can't get along, how the heck are AAs going to if they identify themselves as their separate heritage ethnicities. That won't work at all.

What about those Eastern Europeans, Italians, Irish you mentioned in the other thread? Did they maintain strong ethnic ties in America or go mainstream white? They went mainstream white so they would not be viewed as FOREIGN.

So are you saying that black and Hispanic Americans are wrong to create their own identity in culture, "where they can put themselves into, so that, like one big block, we turn to fight the rest of America. This won't create empowerment, only fear and division." -curiousgeorge. Sorry dude, blacks and Hispanic seem way more empowered to me.

What you advocate makes us nice pets of conservative whites. The "friendly race" as you as say. Well, reread the home page and Frank Chin again to see what that has gotten us so far. We already are the "friendly race" and have been used as the tools of conservative whites vs. other minorities. So we should get along with whites but not blacks or Hispanics is what you are saying?

It would be nice if there were no race issues anymore in America. But the evolution for AAs is not to dissolve into white America. We need our own identity first and then maybe, some time in the future, we can meld with white AND black, Hispanic, etc. Americans.

curiousgeorge, explain how Michelle Kwan's individual empowerment did anything for AA empowerment and how the headline "American beats Kwan" still happened?
