Give me a break,... are you actually stating there every time somebody makes a negative comment about a Muslim,...is immediately called a racist, there is NO insinuation that they are white.
Utter BULL SHIT.
Just why in hell would anybody here even use the term "racist",...when talking about a RELIGION,...is it because most Muslims are NOT white,...therefor, the negative poster is automatically white.
That is the implied assumption,...whether you want to admit it, or not.
And just what does that make the accuser of "racism",...care to guess.
FAST
For the umpteenth time, Muslims are NOT A RACE.
You're so quick to pull the trigger on the race card, that you misapply it. Typical liberal stunt. You're displaying politically correct behavior. Stop it!
He nailed it and you know it.
Own up to YOUR own biases and bigotry. Stones, glass houses and all that. You goddamn hypocrite.
I don't think the point was that war is dangerous, but that Canadian schools for natives are equally dangerous.
I think they were young White Men when they did it. There were also many young black, Indian and Hispanic men involved - but perhaps the US is less pale that the GWN.
That said I'm sure a reasonable share of Nobel prizes, patents, surgeries and innovation has come from honkies. Also, based on immigration, apparently people want to live with white people.
A stunning senior moment
A self-important college freshman attending a recent football game took it upon himself to explain to an older gentleman sitting next to him why it was impossible for the older generation to understand his generation.
'You grew up in a different world, actually an almost primitive one', the student said, loud enough for many of those nearby to hear. 'The young people of today grew up with television, jet planes, space travel, man walking on the moon. Our space probes have visited Mars. We have nuclear energy, ships and electric and hydrogen cars, cell phones, computers with light-speed processing ... and more.'
After a brief silence, the older guy responded as follows:
'You're right, son. We didn't have those things when we were young ... so we invented them. Now, you arrogant little boy, what are you doing for the next generation?'

I am not sure when they fought they had everyone's rights in mind. In fact i am pretty sure they didnt.
U.S. had slaves..... British believed in a ruling class and that people from India should serve them. And on and on.
The US had slaves until 1865. In 1860, one of the greatest human beings ever - Abraham Lincoln went to war to end slavery. 800,000 men died in that war to end slavery. So please, tell me how you are so sure that Canadian soldiers who fought and died in World War 1 or World War 2 had anything to do with slavery, or protecting slavery. I'd be real curious since you're so sure.
There are ruling classes everywhere. If you want to see entrenched ruling classes - well, just go to India and check out their caste system.
When you look around the world and the fucking madness that it is, Canada, in all respects (other than the weather) is THEE best place to live. That didn't happen by accident mon ami. The system of laws and government, the economy, the standard of living that we have in Canada today was built. It's not a fluke of nature. (If anything, the vast size of this country combined with one of the most hostile climates in the world makes one wonder how we Canadians ever succeeded in building what we have in this country in the first place.)
I was just using slavery as an example of white dudes fighting for wrong causes. I wasnt relating it to canadian soldeirs.
But like i said plenty of whites went off to war and came back to continue racist attitudes towards blacks, aboriginals etc. There are still people alive who lived through both sides. Not all white are bad...... not by a long shot...... but there are enough that the stereotype still exists..... trump and ford and the basketball team owner and my uncle are examples.
The idea that white people "own" the despised institutions of an entrenched ruling classes or slavery is, as you point out, absurd.
However, I will take issue with your proposition that Canada's way of life is not a fluke of nature. I think that the economic development of Canada, principally by foreign national corporations due to our (once) abundant natural resources is exactly a fluke of nature. As a consequence, all of the liberal social benefits and laws that Canadians love to tout were affordable in such an economy, perhaps as nowhere else in the world. Further, I would say that the recent decline in our economy, and therefore our way of life, has everything to do with the decline of the profitability of harvesting/processing or manufacturing based on those natural resources.
To keep this short, I think Canada was built on a fluke of nature, and is declining on the same basis.
