    •be sorry; used to introduce an unpleasant statement; "I fear I won't make it to your wedding party"
    •an emotion experienced in anticipation of some specific pain or danger (usually accompanied by a desire to flee or fight)
    •be uneasy or apprehensive about; "I fear the results of the final exams"
    •concern: an anxious feeling; "care had aged him"; "they hushed it up out of fear of public reaction"

    So where does it say suspicion is fear?

    The first mention fits the bill: you believe that it's probable, or at least possible, that any/every white person you meet is a racist white supremacist.

    You can be clear about what water is (it's H2O) and, if you're happy to fix on a definition, you can be pretty clear about who white people are - people whose ancestors are from Europe, say. Both are vague definitions, like any, and the latter notion's not particularly useful in my view. I have no idea what this business about functions is, if that's what you mean by "what it means to be white". But hey, at least I know where we differ.

    I guess it's your belief Monny. I wish you'd speak a better french or better, I'd speak an academic Scottish.

    Do you remember I own you a record my friend?

    Well yes.

    But to make sure there is no confusion...

    I believe it's possible that any white person I meet could be a racist white supremacist.


    Some people believe all white people practice racism white supremacy. At this point in time I do not.

    I know this is just pure caution, but you should close your door.

    But to be suspicious of things that could harm you is logical.

    Do you drive? If so , When you drive do you assume everyone is a good driver or do you drive defensively?


    When you engage in intercourse do you use protection?


    DO you have kids? When you send them to school do you tell them it's ok to talk to strangers?

    Do you lock your doors?


    AMC do you think a racist white supremacist could be harmful to a non white person?
    When I drive, I do assume everyone is a good driver and has passed all requirements - if I didn't, I'd never get into a car. I also drive defensively because accidents can happen, and yes, some people are not adequate to drive a vehicle.

    When I engage in intercourse, I haven't always worn protection. I've been lucky and chose my partners wisely.

    I don't have kids, but would never advise any child to talk to strangers. Mind you, they will have to learn how to talk to strangers at some point and protect themselves if need be.

    Yes, I lock my doors, but allow them to be unlocked depending on the situation.

    Notice: none of my responses had anything to do with the colour of one's skin so I don't see the point, except for the last question I have yet to answer, but will now.....

    I think a racist white supremacist could, or in fact, is harmful to not only non-Whites, but Whites as well. This is that grey area you choose not to consider in you argument and evaluation of people, and that to me is a damn shame.

    The focus of the questions wasn't about color it was about using suspicion
    for your own safety. SO the point is if I believe something could be harmful to me it is logical that l am suspicious . It is a safety precaution.

    SO you think it's a "damn shame" I don't consider that racism white supremacy is harmful to white people? Are you serious?

    Tell me how please? I'm dying to know how white people are harmed by racism white supremacy.

    I think it's a damn shame you don't realize R.W.S. is harmful to everybody.

    Your suspicions about White people due to R.W.S. is harmful to White people (and to those of any race), for example.

    Then don't ever get angry if some old White lady grips her purse when you walk into an elevator, because she is allowed her suspicions just as you are.

    Just a note, I've walked into elevators and seen ladies of all types cling on to their purse as I've walked in. Although many times it may be due to racist views (not doubting that for a second), sometimes it is a normal reaction due to one's nerves.

    Really? So you feel that by be protecting myself from suspected racists white supremacists, I am harming white people? I don't follow your logic?
    When you drive defensively are you harmful to all drivers?

    Well here's the thing. Anyone can steal a purse.

    However only white people can practice racism white supremacy. Why? Because white people have supreme power on the planet. Racism or atleast my definition is not this person doesn't like that person because they are "this". I could hate someones guts but as a nonwhite under the system of racism white supremacy there is not a whole lot I can do about it - and get away with it - unless it's against another nonwhite.

    Racism entails having the power to mistreat a nonwhite based on color. It could be the white person you want to rent an apartment from or your white boss, or the white banker who you are going to for a loan. it could even be .your "best" friend/mate.

    Just a note, I've walked into elevators and seen ladies of all types cling on to their purse as I've walked in. Although many times it may be due to racist views (not doubting that for a second), sometimes it is a normal reaction due to one's nerves.
    True and you will never be able to prove when it was from racism white supremacy or when it was from a normal reaction.

    This is because she and those like her do NOT see your innocence.

    She Only see's your GUILT.

    You are Guilty for being Black and therefore devoid of innocence. And this is what HER RWS society has taught her.

    Which is backwards than a mofo when you look at this from a Historical perspective.

    1. White people Brought Us here
    2. White people enslaved us
    3. White people DO NOT/Did Not see our humanity
    4. White people wrote Jim Crowe Laws
    5. White people lynched young black boys
    6. White people refused us from voting
    7. White people dumbed us down in schools
    8. White people refused to hire us, (etc. etc......)
    10 White people are the ones with the GUILT!

    Yet this Country have taught RWS to its people. And that Black and non whites are not worthy of innocent relief but only worthy of Guilty suspecion.

    This includes young black girls and certainly elementary school age black boys.

    This is what Neely Fuller says "if you do not understand Racist White Supremacy everything else will CONFUSE you"



    How can non whites be GUILTY of anything?

    When the power that oppresses them comes from Racist White Supremacist? They are the ones Devoid of Innocense and are worthy of Guilt.

    Facts are Facts.....

    Any kind of supremacy based on race, background, nationality, etc, is harmful to everybody. This is just my opinion. There could be a supremacy that could be good for everybody, but so far, none.....lol.

    Protecting yourself from anybody is fine. It's your suspicions that are harming those of any background. As already stated in this thread - game, set, match mentality.

    When I drive defensively, I don't believe I'm being harmful to others. I'm quite a good driver I must say. Some that drive defensively are in fact harmful to others because they are not doing so properly, causing even more problems.

    I wish I spoke better French too. Don't worry about the record. You can get me a beer some time! (I still owe you a copy of the thesis you helped out with - I've been waiting till I do the final copy with fixed spelling mistakes etc.)
