BF2S Forums Race relations thread

yeah, why weren't all those black GI's in vietnam more patriotic? and all those african-american, dominican, puerto rican etc. members of the US armed forces in iraq and afghanistan, because recruiters pulled them from parking lots outside strip malls in buttfuck ghettos. sad! not patriotic enough.

you are an idiot.

"Why don't black people love and revere the institutions that constantly discriminate against them!?

macbeth is a hater. Keep in mind he is pushing to join the military-reject pile of USCBP and police officeres.

Didn't one of his ex's leave him for a marine or something? Explains the hatred, aside from the personal cowardice holding him back and making him project his self-loathing.

Nope. I had sex with the girlfriend of a marine veteran. They are married with a child now.

what do african americans have to do with southern africa?

oh yeah i forgot you think intelligence is some mystical thing entwined in skin colour

it’s kind of weird that one of the biggest proponents of racialist woo of recent times was jeffrey epstein, isn’t it? are you building a ranch in the outback dilbert so that you can impregnate thousands of street children with your superior intelligence ginger pasty genes?

Well according to Macbeth they're disinterested in US domestic affairs so I dunno lol.

I was thinking that for extra credit they could explain how after 50 years its still white people's fault.

I wonder if African struggles are at all linked to ongoing recovery from exploitative colonization and various sanctions.

Oh, I guess that means it isn't linked to exploitative colonization and various sanctions at all, then. Thanks for setting us straight.

Doing a special lesson on 9/11. I noticed a lot of the black kids just don't care while the white kids are totally interested and invested. Why aren't black people more patriotic? I have always noticed that black people don't care about any history that doesn't have black people. Conversely white kids are interested in American history especially the good times and things we did. I think the white kids are kind of taught not to have an ethnic identity and take "American" as theirs. So I can now understand why many attacks on American history from non-white people can be so personally offensive for whites.

It's beyond puzzling to me how you managed to get a degree in history and a teaching position in the field no less. In several posts you make it obvious that you're completely ignorant about your own  academic discipline. To top it off the lack of engagement by some of your students is put on them instead of you reflecting on your shit didactic skills.

You're invested in nationalism, generalise (and fetishise) people by race, claim 'history is useless', often blind to any type of context, fail to see or analyse the bigger picture - did you even pay any attention at all in uni? I'm doubting if you ever actually went to school to study the field. Get another job.

Read a book

You have to be taking the piss. As a history student you of all people should at the very least be acquainted with the origins of nationalist thinking and how all of that drivel has been thoroughly deconstructed since, oh,  just about every publication on nationalism since the 1950s. Actually, unironically, read a book.

There can be good forms of nationalism. A belief in a society of people held together by a common culture and interest is beneficial for development.

That isn't nationalism.
