But when they wield racism all over youtube, the rest of the net, the work place, schools (yes, schools), the park (i live in ann arbor), the grocery store, or anywhere else, it is LARGELY ignored. the only time i ever hear a white speak against racism is on the internet, and it will be only one or two very very small voices ("dont say that. it's racist" but that's it.) out of every forty or so big racist and extremely hateful voices. you guys complain about statements that HINT at the injustice of it all, but you say nothing to blatant and hateful stereotype, assumptions, etc against the non-white. ugh. ugh! UGH!

So which is it, or do they even know? I wouldn't want to touch one or be around any rotting or not. Thank God I am single and have no one to care for but myself!

There is Human Condition, and our society, and unfortunately, religion has conditioned us to believe humans were made evil(Human Nature), instead of simply choosing this self-destructive path, we need to shuck these beliefs and realize that we can change the world whenever we want, we're just too self serving to see it.

Just saw it today. It was frightening and enlightening. I will modify the way I live and study survival methods. I will buy guns and learn to use them. I will plan ahead.........and pray to God that I never need any of it. Missed this show before. Just saw it today. It was frightening and enlightening.

What else would you expect? It wouldn't matter if you were a rich society or a very poor society, you will react the SAME WAY! YOU have the same SIN NATURE! But think about it, what a way to diquise the Rapture. Millions of people dead, chaos, no authority left, nothing but confusion, who would notice the millions raptured? Also how many people of the world would FREELY, WILLINGLY and with GUSTO quickly follow someone who would turn the gas pumps back on, start refilling the grocery stores, get the wheels of the trucks moving again, and bring some sense of order again? They would follow in the millions. God calls that person, the anti-christ. Whether you beleive in God or not,you can't deny the story line fits perfectly, Hum, just as God predicted.

Ben did not say "Everything is ‘whitey’s’ fault", so that can't be it. If you believe that Ben Albahari made a false claim, which claim was it and what is your evidence against it?
