Ugh, please don't group me in with that as I still resist the idea of being identified as white since "White" isn't just a color anymore, it has a very specific cultural meaning... the term "white" and "white boy" reffers to something very specific, to a culture that is NOT the same as other people who, yes, may have white skin, but culturally, are very different then what people consider "white." So although I appreciate your passion for the subject... don't call me white, that's one of the many reasons I broke up with my ex-girlfriend and it just irritates me to be called white because, in my humble opinion, it's a form of assimilation that I am very much opposed to. And yes, that was one long ass run on sentence.

Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)
1] What you CAN NOT post.
You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene
You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)
The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!
2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.
This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.
3] Keep the focus.
Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.
4] Behave as you would in a public location.
This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.
5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.
Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.
6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.
Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.
7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.
- PLEASE READ -
Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.
8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)
If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

Excuse me? WHAT? ARe you a total moron? White= White, who cares waht some ignoramus in your HS said? YOU ARE NOT ASSIMULATING TO ANYTHING YOU RETARD. LOL OMG. YOU WERE ALWAYS WHITE AND WILL ALWAYS REMAIN WHITE. Whatever you reason you chose to self-hate is your narrowmind s fault. Anyone who agrees with your false notion is obviously a mentally inept moron, I am sorry. You are White.
White has different types to it. You guys and Greeks are not the same type of White as Germans or Irish. Russians and Armenians are not the same type of White. Either way:
Dutch German Italian Spaniard Russian Portugese Armenian Yugoslavian, Romanian Finnish Swedish Swiss Armenian Greek Estonian Moldovan Lativians all Scandinavians Ukrainian British Irish Scottish Welsh Georgians Croatians Luxemborgians French Bulgarians Icelandic and Norweigians ARE ALL WHITE AND YES THEY ARE DETERMINED THAT BY THEIR SKIN HOW ELSE CAN YOU DETERMINE THAT? THEY ARE ALL WHITE AKA CAUCASIAN (scientific term).Last edited by IvyLipstick; 08-05-2004, 11:36 PM.When the World Wide Web was born, things were quite simple.

The facts and wordly knowledge doesnt change just because hyejinx has this tainted view of what a certain thing is or whatever he feels "sucks" based upon his invalid opinion. And no you are not assimulating because that would mean all of us here and all over Europe are "assimulating" when we are not. You were White in Armenia and will always remain White anywhere else you go. Stop this ignorant crap by asserting what you did. Thank you.When the World Wide Web was born, things were quite simple.

For once I'm being nice to you. But I learned my lesson.
"White" is a meaningless term that people should not focus on really. What the hell does that mean? I guess if there are "white" people there are "yellow people" "brown people" and "red people" and of course "black people"... but those are meaningless terms, it doesn't mean anything to be called white. Being white doesn't unite people, being white isn't a racial group. "White" is meaningless, there's nothing to gain or loose by it. The color of your skin does not determine your culture or ethnicity, and forgive me for feeling this way, but if it doesn't do that, then it does nothing for me and it is just a word and useless tool to be used by people such as yourself, which doesn't help or hurt anything. "white" is such a useless term the fact that people use it to describe cultures other than the super-white of suburban america is completely ridiculous. Being white tells me nothing about a person, knowing they're Armenian does, there for if someone asks me "what ethnicity are you?" or "what race are you?" I'll answer Armenian because that narrows it right down to my heritage and culture, saying teh word white, as you like to do, doesn't get anyone anywhere and it's really a stupid term. I don't know why you're so in love with it."All I know is I'm not a Marxist." -Karl Marx

Originally posted by IvyLipstickProve that? I just told you, you are the type that even if I was to catch you red handed, you would find some excuse or quick lie to cover that up. I dont need to prove the obvious fact that you said that. If you really cant make sense, dont attempt to belittle me.
So yes indeed, if you have something to prove, prove it. Otherwise, stop b*tching and trying to belittle me with your petty accusations. And stop turning this against me (like everything else - you're an expert at twisting things and turning them against others when it's YOU who's doing something wrong - but I suppose that comes with being a "white" nationalist), because it is not I who's trying to belittle you. All I'm asking for is proof that I deleted my posts. Now prove it. Or shut the hell up.

Yes dolt, there are. Brown= what Latinos classify themselves as. Black= African American. White= Europeans Yellow= Orientals and all of Asia and Red= Native Americans.
OMG you are a total idiotic moron, no joking around. If someone asks you "what RACE are you" If you say Armenian then you are only a few fries short of a happy meal. AND YES IT IS A GENERAL QUESTION YOU DUPE.
"WHAT RACE ARE YOU?"= General question "WHAT ETHNICITY ARE YOU"= more specific question.
But you are of Armenian ethnicity that belongs to the WHITE race. Why are you miscontruing the meaning and going by what you are famous for as always: by people's skewed false notions you experienced from rednecks in school? The facts prove and speak for themselves and I think you are going about looking at this issue the wrong way.Last edited by IvyLipstick; 08-06-2004, 12:30 PM.When the World Wide Web was born, things were quite simple.

Originally posted by VirgilHyejinx, you are right my white skin only means then that I am a black man trapped in a white man's body.
He is too mentally impaired to see that no one said CULTURE is determined by skin color. CULTURE RACE AND ETHNICITY ARE THREE TOTALLY DIFFERENT THINGS yet he chooses to interwind them together to somewhat give his ridiculous point some meaning when it lacks it.
If you are WHITE you are WHITE what the hell does CULTURE have to do with it? HAHAHA. You are still an Armenian that has his or her own damn heritage but White Black Red YEllow Brown have nothing to do with your cultural customs. YES certain races have incorporated or invented their own customs but still that does not mean you in any way CHANGE that from a skin color LOL Oh man, he was obviously bounced on the head as a kid.Last edited by IvyLipstick; 08-06-2004, 12:42 PM.When the World Wide Web was born, things were quite simple.
