Diversity May Not Be The Answer Gregory Rodriguez -- Los Angeles Times http://www.miamiherald.com/851/story/207371.ht ml
... You've heard the rap: Diversity is our strength. We should celebrate it, blah, blah, blah. ... But according to a provocative new study by Robert Putnam, one of America's preeminent political scientists, it's just not true. ... Diversity, he argues, is turning us into a nation of turtles, hunkered down with our heads in our shells. According to the study, there is a strong positive relationship between interracial trust and ethnic homogeneity. In other words, the less diverse your community, the more likely you are to trust the people in it who are different from you. The flip side is also true: The more ethnically diverse the people you live around, the less you trust them. http://www.ihr.org/ http://www.natvan.com

I have heard of this study and perhaps it is accurate. The question is: Is this trust and mistrust on people's part justified?

I would say yes. The fact is that the difference between meeting a unknown Black man in a back alley or something and meeting a White stranger is the same as the difference between meeting a man and a woman.
You don't worry if you see a woman. It's possible she might have a gun but you don't worry. If you see a man you are alert and careful. If you see a Black man you are worried. The crime statistics prove it. The gut feelings are correct.

You are missing two important points. First, the subjects of this study are not strangers in a back alley, they are one's neighbors and community members, so they are not unknown and perhaps not even unfamiliar. Second, this study was applied in general terms, so it is also blacks who are not trusting whites, etc.

As for the first one, most people around a community are strangers. But if they are your own kind everything is fine.
As for the second one, that is all the more reason to separate the races.
The Jews made a movie called "The House on Carroll Street". As soon as the movie begins Whites would like it because it's around 1946. Look how White everybody is. It looks so good. You trust your neighbors and everything is normal and how it should be. Men and women dress differently and are different. The main actress is a blonde and looks like she should be starring in a NS movie.
Then you find out that the "bad guys" in the movie are Nazi.
Everything good in the movie is what the Nazi were fighting for. Look how non-White everything is getting now. The way things are going, blondes like this actress will no longer exist. And America will become a third world country.

I guess the evil Jew plot failed that time huh? Anyway that blond actress you refer to must be Kelly McGillis. Did you know she is a lesbian?

I told you once that someday I would tell you of a movie you should see, since you are always talking about movies such as Brokeback Mountain. This is the perfect time to tell you of another movie I am sure you have not seen. The 2005 Best Picture Oscar winner "Crash".
"The film depicts several characters living in Los Angeles during a 36-hour period and brings them together through car accidents, shootings, and carjackings. Most of the characters depicted in the film are racially prejudiced in some way and become involved in conflicts which force them to examine their own prejudices. Through these characters' interactions, the film attempts to depict and examine not only racial tension but the distance between strangers in America."

If you want non-whites to stop having so many kids, then you should support economic equality because when people are in a higher economic status they have less children.
