EGYPT

FACT #62: Ancient Egypt was founded and built by Mediterranean Caucasians as
far back as 4500 B.C. Egypt's period of greatness was from 3400 B.C. to 1800
B.C. and was characterized by its amazing architecture, pyramids, temples,
and mastery of mathematics and engineering, the remnants of which are still
evident today. The White Egyptians pioneered medicine, chemistry, astronomy,
and law; In many cases, their achievements remain unequalled.(37)(39)(21)

FACT #63: But, about 3400 B.C. Egypt civilization began to spread up the
Nile River, bringing it in close contact with the black Nubians to the
south. Soon they were using Blacks for slave labor and Egypt became
history's first melting pot.(39)(10)(14)

FACT # 64: In time the infusion of Negro blood worked itself up from the
bottom of Egyptian society. The slaves were eventually freed, received
political equality, and took posts of authority in government.(10)(37)

FACT #65: By the time of King Tut (1370-1352 B.C.) even the ruling classes
had been mongrelized and Egypt began a tailspin downward. Today, the
once-mighty Egypt is very much a Third World country, having lost its art,
its medicine, its architectural ability, and its position in world affairs.
(10)(37)

The absurd notion that Ancient Egypt was a product of Negro ingenuity is now
being widely disseminated in the schools. Though scholars know this is a
blatant lie, they justify the deception by assuming it will boost the
"self-esteem" of Black children.

SOUTH AFRICA
(Note: These facts will most likely change drastically now that South Africa
has fallen under black rule.)

FACT #66: White people have lived in South Africa much longer than Negroes.
There have been White settlements in South Africa for over 300 years, about
the same length of time Europeans have lived in North America. Even 150
years after the first colonies around Capetown, at the beginning of the 19th
Century, there still were no Blacks within 500 miles. The Blacks wandered in
from central Africa later on, possibly fleeing the slave trade or due to
famine. In fact, most of South Africa's Blacks were born in other countries.
(29)(8)(14)

FACT #67: South Africa is by far the wealthiest and most advanced country in
Africa, producing nearly 75% of the continent's Gross National Product. It
is almost completely self- sufficient so boycotts have little affect upon
its economy. In fact most of Africa is dependent upon South Africa. South
Africa is governed by a Western parliamentary republic and strictly
segregated racially. South Africa grants complete self-government to the
Blacks in their own areas of the country.(29)(8)(14)

FACT #68: Though South Africa is perpetually criticized by the world press
for its racial separatism, its Blacks live better than the Blacks of any
other African country and are multiplying rapidly and healthily. 87% of
Black welfare costs are being paid by the White man. This includes food,
clothing, training, housing, education an health care.--even old age
pensions.(14)

FACT #69: Thousands of South African Blacks graduate from college every
year, more than three times as many as in the rest of Africa combined. Every
Black child is within walking distance of a primary school. Africa's largest
hospital, which serves Blacks almost exclusively and performs over 1800
operations per month, is in South Africa.(14)

FACT #70: The Blacks of South Africa own more cars than do all the citizens
of the Soviet Union.(29)

FACT #71: South Africa has more Black doctors, lawyers, professional people,
and millionaires than all of the rest of the world combined.(8)

FACT #72: In fact, conditions are "so bad" for Blacks in South Africa that
the country has a tremendous problem with illegal Black immigration, having
over one million illegal foreign workers.(14)(29)

ICELAND

FACT #73-75: Iceland, the only all-White nation in the world, has the
world's highest literacy rate. 100%. It is an island of cooled volcanic
magma, located Just south of the Arctic Circle. It has no coal, no fuel, no
timber, no mineral wealth or natural resources, and no navigable rivers. 75%
of the interior is uninhabitable and only about 1% of the land is arable. It
is the youngest nation in Europe and one of the most isolated countries in
the world. Nonetheless, Iceland is #2 in the world in life expectancy and
has one of the world's highest standards of living, in terms of per capita
income. It has tremendous medical facilities and a thriving publishing
business. Virtually every family has a telephone. Upon graduation from high
school, each Icelandic student has learned five languages.(33)

MARTIN LUTHER KING

FACT #75-77: On Jan. 31, 1977, Martin Luther King's FBI records were sealed
by court order until the year 2027 because, as his wife said, "its release
would destroy his reputation" These records are rumored to contain instances
of bizarre sexual perversion and homosexuality, and proof that King was
under the direct orders of Soviet spies and financed by the Communist Party.

FACT #78: The Wall Street Journal (Nov.9, 1990) disclosed that Stanford
University editors of The Papers of Martin Luther King Jr. have long known
that King was guilty of plagiarism in his l955 Boston University doctoral
thesis, having lifted significant portions from the works of other writers
and graduate students.

FACT #79: Martin Luther King frequently enjoyed prostitutes and paid for
them with his church's money. Still, congress has voted to make King's
birthday a national holiday, in most places replacing Columbus Day or
Washington's Birthday as an official observance.

FACT #80: Almost every state in the union has a King holiday, and almost
every city has a King Boulevard or King Civic Center. Yet the electoral
evidence suggests that Americans will almost always vote down honors for
King when given a chance.(41)

MISCELLANEOUS

FACT #81: The entire continent of Africa, perhaps Earth's richest land,
accounts for only 3% of world trade.(27)

FACT #82-84: Almost all Blacks who have been leaders in fields other than
athletics or music have had some White ancestry: Fredick Douglas, W.E.B.
Dubois, Booker T. Washington, George Washington Carver, Alex Hailey,
Thurgood Marshall, Bryant Gumbell, Colin Powell, Carl Rowan, Ed Bradley,
Doug Wilder, etc. According to Dr. E.B. Reuter, "... Of successful and
best known men that the Negro race has produced, at least thirteen-
fourteenths are men of mixed blood.(27)(21)

FACT #85: Blacks are 50 times more likely to have syphilis than Whites.(32)

FACT #86: Twice as many Blacks as Whites receive dishonorable discharge from
the U.S. military.(32)

FACT #87: A White woman is 15 times more likely to contract AIDS by engaging
in sex with a Negro than with a White heterosexual.(U.S. Centers for
Disease Control)

FACT #88: 90% of U.S. children with AIDS are Black or Hispanic.(36)

FACT # 89-92: In l950, American schools were among the best in the world.
However, vocal elements within our society demanded that the public schools
take on a social engineering role as well as an educational one. Violent
disruptions of American education were ordered by the Supreme Court for the
purpose of breaking down racial barriers. For 30 years, American schools
have diverted enormous resources into forced integration, quotas, and
bussing operations.(Few people realize how expensive bussing is. Annual
cost may run into tens of billions of dollars. In l990 California alone was
spending $500 million per year on integration. Many school districts spend a
quarter or more of their budgets on transportation. In Milwaukee alone and
in a single school year, 30,000 staff hours were diverted into calculating
the race of students to attend the various schools.) The results? Today's
students rank at the very bottom worldwide in science and math, some 40% of
American adults are functionally illiterate, and standardized test scores
have declined steadily for both Whites and Blacks. Today the average White
still scores 200 points higher on the combined SAT than the average Black.
Americans spend more on education than any other country in the world and
have the worst results. Massive White flight to escape racial zoning has
reduced the tax base of every major American city. In l983, after nearly two
generations of racial experimentation to promote equality, the research arm
of the Dept. of Education could not produce a single study that showed Black
children were learning appreciably better after desegregation.(25)(20)

FACT #93: In Black Africa the average ruler lasts 7 months.(22)(27)(7)

FACT #94: By 1995, a third of U.S. students will be non-Whites and Whites
will be a minority in the school districts of 5 states.(32)

FACT #95: Dr. William Shockley, Nobel prize winner for his work in the
invention of the transistor and renowned geneticist as Stanford University,
said, "The major cause for American Negroes' hereditary is origin and thus
not remedial to a major degree by improvement in environment."

FACT #96: In 1930, about 33% of the world was White. Today, the U.N.
estimates that only about 9.5% of the world's population is Caucasian. This
percentage is falling rapidly.(34)(27)

FACT #97: Every race has an equal capacity to learn and contribute to
civilization and any differences are caused by prejudice and racism. The
fact that white skins are associated with civilization is merely a quirk of
fortune and coincidence. Any attempt to distinguish the races is motivated
by paranoia and hatred. We must prevent any investigation into the subject
and work to melt society together into a receless, nationless, harmonious
utopia.(?)

FACT #98: In 1988 there were 9,406 cases of Black-on-White rape and fewer
than 10 cases of White on Black rape in the U.S.(32)

FACT #99: For the book INTELLIGENCE AND NATIONAL ACHIEVEMENT, by Raymond
Cattell, three distinguished American scholars compare massive evidence of
national I.Q. score averages worldwide and warn against the decline of any
nation whose population reflects declining intelligence. Taking into
consideration the differential birthrates of American ethnic stocks, they
concluded that American ability is declining rapidly.(21)

FACT #100: The American taxpayers have spent over $2.5 TRILLION trying to
upgrade Blacks since the l960's.(6)

FACT #101: QUOTES "The Negroes' rude ignorance has never invented any
effectual weapons of defense or destruction: they appear incapable of
forming any extensive plans of government or conquest: and the obvious
inferiority of their mental faculties has been discovered and abused by the
nations of the temperate zone." --Edward Gibbon, the great historian and
author of THE DECLINE AND FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE,(V.III, pg. 277)
"Wherever you find the Negro everything is going down around him, and
wherever you find the White man you see everything around him
improving." --Robert E. Lee, to Col. Thomas H. Carter, May, l965

A lot of politically incorrectness happens in our world. From what i have observed racism is also found in the black population. Until the black community gets it's own house in order,comments about white racism becomes something to hide behind They become excuses and not answers.

Amen to that!! I am thoroughly white and I have to tell you that some of the dumbest, meanest people are white and what is really scarey is that many of them hold public office! Our town is about 8000 people with a Jr. college and those black kids are the most polite and talented kids ever! It is sad, but you will find red-necks and white trash anywhere - and they usually call themselves Christian!!!

Wow! The human psyche is amazing!! I found this thread as a result of my interest in attending the University of Iowa, Iowa City. I live in the UK, am black and a professional. My best friend (white) and her family were born and bred in a small town near Iowa City. I can't get there soon enough for them!! After reading through this thread I feel more enlightened. I know I'll be just fine.

I always see people - white or black - who are racists as very sad, sick people and I think it is wrong coming from either. When people like "Oh Please" and others who post statements that are intended to make others feel inferior, I know that they are in fact unfortunate people who intensely dislike themselves and have very poor self-esteem -- hence the need to bring others down. Really, really, sad... and such a shame - I feel for you, tortured souls.

Racism or any form of bullying can be acknowledged as being due to serious emotional problems -- often stemming from the perpetrator's perceived threat, fear, ignorance, background, lack of exposure and other issues (too many to mention here).

Love yourself. Never feel that being black, african american, mixed race or biracial, hispanic, asian, indian, latino, mexican (sorry I don't know the all terms used in the US) makes you any less of a person or less worthy than anyone else. Be comfortable in your own skin. It is the poor racist who has a problem and needs help, not you!

Inevitably, we treat people the way we feel about ourselves. Not only with regard to race, but everything in life, how a person treats another is always the best indicator of how s/he feels about him or herself. Always remember this.

I know that perceiving racism this way is easier said than done but if one can apply this attitude, you'll be surprised that you won't take it their remarks and attitudes personally and they will be like water off a duck's back.

Of course, where it affects acquiring jobs and other serious life issues, it must be challenged. However, try not to get embroiled in petty arguments with these ill people who need to put others down in order to feel "good" about themselves.

Peace begins with me. There is one race: the human race. There are two basic emotions: Love and Fear. Racism stems from fear expressed as anger, violence etc. We can't fight racism with more racism or this constant focus on race. Light obliterates darkness. Love ALWAYS prevails. My friend says I will LOVE Iowa City. I will! xxx
