Bush Sees the US as a White Nation
Here is a quotation from GWBush this last Friday in the Rose Garden. I'm not
sure why it hasn't received more play: "There's a lot of people in the world who don't believe that people whose skin color may not be the same as ours can be free and self-govern. I reject that. I reject that strongly. I believe that people who practice the Muslim faith can self-govern. I believe that people whose skins aren't necessarily a different color than white can self-govern." The racism here is not subtle. In my mind, it portrays how the President sees the world.

I think it is important to be careful how you quote this. Yes, taken out of context it seems that he is somehow racially biased. However, the general problem as I understand it is that many folks believe the US is somehow diminishing the equality of other races and that is how protests and media coverage spin it. In the case of the quote above, he was likely trying to answer directly to the concerns. Many think the Americans hate Muslims and therefore hate middle easterners ergo darker skinned people. Looks to me like he was merely saying that as a majority white nation (and I mean that with respect to SKIN COLOR ONLY) we *do* believe that other races are equally capable of governing themselves. It is not a rhetorical statement. It is answering a question in my opinion. Best, -Al |

And the President's sentiments seem to be divergent with many posters in this newsgroup who suggest that Muslims, in general, are a group of people that cannot co-exist with the rest of the world.

See the original post in the thread. Rose Garden, last Friday. Qoute in the original post. Learn to read, Steve! Learn to read Fat Boy... he didn't state or define the USA as a 'White Nation' at all! More fabrications on your part! |

MWB - The Mighty White Brother claims that President Bush said
"White Nation". But in-fact MWB presents the Liberal LIES and Democrat DISTIRTION for all to read one more time. The President George "W" Bush 'never' used the words "White Nation". However, "MWB" Did Use Those Words Exact Words "WHITE NATION" in this Post; in in his continued effort to Promote Racial Hatred in the USofA.

MB--Why do you support these Islamic *******s? You've been reading the
wrong books. As a professor you need to do more research. You should study the Koran. You know nothing about Islam. You are a fool. You are on the wrong side. A trip to falugee would do you good.
