Search Results: race in politics

Anybody here like her? What do you think about her crush for Bill O'Reilly. Let's not forget she's part Mexican, part black, and part Barbadians. Which for all practical purposes is a black country (I know Barbados and Mexico are countries and not races). For the most part she's black. The only thing that might deter from that would be if her Mexican part is white. And yes technically we are all mixed (least I think so).

The fact that she's republican doesn't bother me. I know democrats are supposed to be more appeasing to the minority races, but if you look at the beginning of democracy you get a different story. I'm not either one to be honest though I lean toward democrat. That's besides the point though. Not really trying to talk politics.

Also, you combine this with who her partners are and her comments towards other celebs who are at least part black it makes me wonder. Does it make anyone else wonder?

The UK Independence Party won many seats in the UK local elections last month, and came first in the European Parliament elections in the UK (the first time a party other than the Conservative Party or the Labour Party has come first in a nation-wide election since December 1910). However, in yesterday’s UK Parliament by-election in Newark, the Conservatives retained the seat, despite the previous Member’s corruption scandal.

However, I don’t think this will stop the UKIP rise. This is for a few reasons:

1. The Conservative vote did significantly decline, even though it’s being said that many anti-UKIP non-Conservatives switched to the Conservatives to stop UKIP in what was being portrayed as a two-horse race.

2. The Labour vote hugely declined, which is unusual for the main opposition party so close to a general election.

3. The Liberal Democrat vote even more hugely declined (they even fell below the Green Party and an independent candidate), which is further evidence that UKIP is replacing the Lib Dems as the third party in UK politics.

4. Whichever way you look at it, a 22.1% swing (from 3.8% in 2010 to 25.9%) is an excellent result for UKIP.

5. UKIP got this result by standing someone other than leader Nigel Farage, even though they are often accused of being a one-man band.

6. This failure to win will stop UKIP getting too smug and will make them realize that they have to fight for every vote.

According to the Oxford University sociologist Diego Gambetta, editor of Making Sense of Suicide

Missions, a comprehensive history of this troubling yet topical phenomenon, while suicide missions

are not always religiously motivated, when religion is involved, it is always Muslim. Why is this? Why is

Islam the only religion that motivates its followers to commit suicide missions?

The surprising answer from the evolutionary psychological perspective is that Muslim suicide

bombing may have nothing to do with Islam or the Koran (except for two lines in it). It may have nothing to

do with the religion, politics, the culture, the race, the ethnicity, the language, or the region. As with

everything else from this perspective, it may have a lot to do with sex, or, in this case, the absence of sex.

What distinguishes Islam from other major religions is that it tolerates polygamy . By allowing

some men to monopolize all women and altogether excluding many men from reproductive opportunities,

polygamy creates shortages of available women. If 50 percent of men have two wives each, then the other

50 percent don't get any wives at all.

So polygamy increases competitive pressure on men, especially young men of low status.

It therefore increases the likelihood that young men resort to violent means to gain access to mates.

By doing so, they have little to lose and much to gain compared with men who already have wives. Across all

societies, polygamy makes men violent, increasing crimes such as murder and rape, even after controlling for

such obvious factors as economic development, economic inequality, population density, the level of

democracy, and political factors in the region.

However, polygamy itself is not a sufficient cause of suicide bombing. Societies in sub-Saharan

Africa and the Caribbean are much more polygynous than the Muslim nations in the Middle East

and North Africa. And they do have very high levels of violence. Sub-Saharan Africa suffers from a

long history of continuous civil wars—but not suicide bombings.

The other key ingredient is the promise of 72 virgins waiting in heaven for any martyr in Islam.

The prospect of exclusive access to virgins may not be so appealing to anyone who has even

one mate on earth, which strict monogamy virtually guarantees. However, the prospect is quite

appealing to anyone who faces the bleak reality on earth of being a complete reproductive loser.

It is the combination of polygamy and the promise of a large harem of virgins in heaven that motivates many

young Muslim men to commit suicide bombings. Consistent with this explanation, all studies of suicide bombers indicate that they are significantly younger than not only the Muslim population in general but other (non suicidal) members of their own extreme political organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah. And nearly all suicide bombers are single.

Why is it that any person thinks its a good idea to discriminate in this day in age? Race, age, sex, nationality, all politics has done in the past 8 years has make more Americans into savages.

Do you agree, shouldn't we be progressing to acceptance rather than persecution?
