Passportism

I've categorically stated previously that "passportism" is not a word. It was not accepted. It was rejected. It is not in my lexicon.
Don't use this word again.

> Jack,

> You're a bozo.

Sure, says one bozo to another. I admit and you deny...like you deny everything. If I were not a bozo I would never have responded to any of your posts because all your initial posts were nothing but the kneejerk reactions of a psycho who could not bear to hear the truth - truth that hurt his own position, his beliefs, his comforts!

If you want to lose the woods for the trees that's your problem, not mine. I have raised my voice against the pure evils of racism and passportism. If you can't bear to hear or read about it, and only because you stand to gain from such discrimination, it shows how hollow you are in addition to being the original bozo. KKK being in control of a certain state or territory is not the issue. The issue is a larger one - KKK-like mentality or beliefs controlling the minds of people.

KKK is symptomatic of the problem of racism and not the only problem. If you can't see or recognze that, you reveal your ability and not much else!

I called you a racist because you tried to drown out my cry against the evil of racism. If that hurts, please don't condone the wrongs because in condoning you're revealing where your sympathies lie. And, if your sympathies lie with those actively indulging in racism and passportism you, for all intents and purposes, are also a racist though you may not be a 'member' of the KKK. People who are more sensible and sensitive to such things and abhor the very things you support, whether actively or passively, will surely 'clamber to my cause'. And, yes, if I'm posting this on a messageboard, it's because I want people to know about this!

> This presents a lose-lose situation for any white person.

If a 'white' loses because a non-white raises his voice against racism and passportism, that's perfect! Please don't expect any sympathies there, neither from the coloured nor from the 'whites' for there are 'whites' who have a far better appreciation of all things on earth and beyond, than to revel in the 'fruits' of being born white.

And if you think I'm dangerous, thank you! Like I said to another racist who said the same thing - "Perhaps, you are right in saying I am dangerous. But, if that is true, it's not because I will go after anyone with a club or resort to abuse. I will use reason and argument as I have done before and am doing now. I am dangerous because I will state the truth. I am dangerous because I will fight dark, prejudiced, uninformed, lies with reason. I will fight them with my words and with my conviction that injustice will one day lose. I am dangerous because I will fight for the rights of those that people discriminate against on the basis of colour, race and origin...so help me God!"
