Re: racism sucks

Racism exists everywhere, Yes it is very shameful be we really cant do anything about it. Ive gone through it to like most people but Instead of responding to them & getting angry all you do is you ignore them & make them feel stupid & if they still dont get it then they need to real think about GROWiNG UP & GETTiNG A LiFE!

Re: racism sucks

You are actually talking about preservation of culture, not "RACE." Preservation of culture is a legit issue. RACE is not. That might sound like a small issue, but it really isn't. We want to preserve culture--and all cultures, too (wouldn't you agree). God gave us all this amazing diversity of colors, thoughts, and beliefs. Let us preserve and celebrate it! AGREE?

Oh really? Preserve just a culture somewhere in the outer space? I’m talking about the preservation of ARMENIAN culture, without ethnic Armenians, what would your so-called ‘culture’ be?

However if an Armenian woman marries a man from Kenya... that ADDS to the richness of Armenian culture. The kids learn both culures, and that is very GOOD!

Didn’t you have another example? I highly doubt that you are an Armenian( from your posts overall) but anyway lezut papantsvi…

Re: racism sucks

You expect everything to be equal while we are all surrounded by all kind of inequalities (not only racial). Just be honest with yourself, do you like Turks or Pakis (let’s suppose them a race)? I personally don’t.
Why are you always trying to play the good guy? You are lying to yourselves and are in a big denial.
It’s crystal clear that some cultures belonging to a certain group of people (read it race, ethnicity…) are superior to some others. If you can’t see that then you have no perception.

Իմ ծնողքս միշտ ինծի կ'ըսեն որ մենք (հայեր) պէտք է մեր ազգը եւ մշակոյթը հայ պահենք հայերու հետ ամուսնանալով, մանաւանդ Հայ Ցեղասպանութենէն վերջ:

My parents always tell me that we (Armenians) need to keep our race and culture Armenian by marrying other Armenians, especially after the Armenian Genocide.

This is actually an interesting comment (versus nonsense hatred)...

You just contradicted yourself. how do you preserve a culture if you intermarry and alter it? Also, won't the child be ethnically confused? (a.k.a. who will he identify himself as? an armenian or a Kenyan?) people can do whatever they want in the world but mixing of cultures is almost like destroying them. Elia that is why your parents tell you to not intermarry with other races. They want you and those that will come after you to remember who they are, where they are from, and to feel proud that they have come from such a great nation. it's not from racism it's from being proud of who you are and where you are from and wanting to preserve those feelings.

How does that work? Not caring and ignoring it just makes the offender think that it's ok to go around and be racist towards others. It's like a trouble making child. If you do not set him/her straight that what he/she is doing is wrong then that child will do it again and again. Ignoring it will solve nothing but, instead, will allow it to fester and grow. In this case, i am very guilty of not saying anything and i take full blame and responsability for it but i will make sure that it never happens again.

What do you mean some cultures are more superior than others? Every culture has something good and something bad about it and if one culture was so much better than all the others then why doesn't everyone join in that culture? why doesn't everyone just become American, German, or Italian ect.? It's not like it's going to harm them to change their customs and beliefs. is it? What you just said is the most bogus and illogical statement i have ever heard. i'm not kidding myself when i say that i am not racist and i think that it is you who is kidding yourself into believing that you are any better than other people , whether they are next to you or on the other side of the world, rich or poor, darker or lighter, man or woman.

P.S. when you pass away just like every other being on this earth what will you leave with? Nothing. It does not matter how rich or how poor you are or what ethnic group you are from because in the end everyone is the same.

Re: racism sucks

What if the Kenyan becomes an Armenian? There are black Armenians from Ethiopia for example. They are Gregorian Christians. We should improve our ties with Ethiopia, they are potential allies.

Re: racism sucks

^I guess... but I still think we shouldn't go as drastic as to marrying them, because we're trying to keep our culture...
