Socio-racial survey for Armenian members

[Che_Ka]

I'm going to repost my last post because some of you need to read it again.

Some of you make ME ashamed to be Armenian.

Go read a history book.

Let's all realize and appreciate the fact that a great number of Armenians have been raised with lots of Arabic and "Middle Eastern" culture. What's more is that Armenians who have come from the Middle East have favorable feelings about Arabs and the Middle East because ARABS WELCOMED US WITH OPEN ARMS when we came as survivors of the Genocide. And, ARABS HAVE ALLOWED US TO KEEP OUR LANGUAGE, TO OPEN SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES. This is why Armenians regard Arabs highly. And this is why they have allowed for some Arabic words and foods to infiltrate into the language and culture. Let us appreciate and recognize this.

My family has had many generations of Armenians in the Middle East. My father grew up speaking ONLY ARABIC. Of course I say "yalla" and use Arabic words. Do I regard these terms as "Armenian"? NO. Do I cherish them as part of the distinct sub-culture of Armenians from the Middle East? YES. Does the fact that I use them make me less Armenian, and akin to Turks? OH, HELL NO.

Amot tsezi.

xxxx you and every piece of xxxx sandnigger like you.
If there were 1000 "Armenians" like you sinking in a boat and one Turk in another, I would rather save the Turk.

Oh WOW! WOW....
Because he eats hummos and pita bread and sometimes says yalla? He deserves to die? WOW! Your sad my friend, very sad! So much anger... it's not good for you!

However, even though you're extremely ignorant, I would still rescue you from a sinking boat over a Turk, anyday. You know why? Cause you consider yourself Armenian and that's all that matters. I can care less if you eat dolma or hummos. But go ahead, save the Turks, they'll kick you out of the boat right away, then the people from the sinking boat will HELP YOU climb their sinking boat and wait for rescue together!

Catwoman made me go "aaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwww".

One more thing I wanted to add.

For all the American-born Hayastantsis:

If you can read and write Armenian, how did you learn to do so? If you've ever taken part in the Homenetmen Games, how were you able to do so? Think about that and get back to me.

Why do you ask?...

Yes, yes a person can. I wouldn't have thought so either, but eh, such is life. Moral of the story is: while posts like his remind me how much I hate Armenians sometimes, posts like yours remind me why I love Armenians most of the time.

I think his point is that Spurkahyes from Middle Eastern countries have played a big role in creating Armenian institutions and maintaining the Armenian identity in North America.
