You mean just like they reprimand people for being a different race as them? Don't give me that bullshit. If your trying to say that the solution to racism is to stop saying things are racist then that's a darn lie. I wonder why that wasn't the case before the civil rights movement.
Why do you care what they do if it's not hurting anyone?

People deride on David Duke because of his reputation more so than what he actually says it seems. That's how it works for most white nationalists, which in my opinion is a shame. Not everything he and other white nationalists say is wrong, but I do have plenty to disagree with them all on.
I actually think this is somewhat accurate.
I do not know much about Duke myself and he's not really influental to me at all.
I'm not a fan of the USA or Whites in the Western Hemisphere at all.

Well, yes and no. You can't just "destroy" racism if beliefs of superiority based on race, prejudice of race, and racial stereotypes continue to exist. Perhaps the idea of something being racist or not would be gone, but nothing in actuality would change.
But at the same time, it would force us to evaluate the things we associate with "racism" individually and actually refute each one-by-one. This, overall, would make us all more informed, I believe.
By destroying "Racism" I meant destroying the use of the term and the term itself.

Eh, I really dislike using the term "anti-racist" to refer to people like that. What does that make people who oppose them? Pro-racist? I don't think that's necessarily true, so I avoid calling people like that "antis" like I know many all over Stormfront do.
Anti-Racism is to be against racism.
Pro-racist is to be for racism and promoting it.
Racist-tolerant is to not care and let people be racist if they please.

Of course racism is more prominent to those exposed to more races - it's kinda hard to be racist if you're never confronted with those of a different racial group.
Which is partly why I believe a White Nation has more pros than cons.

But why use that as a justification to run and hide from it? Racial tensions will continue to exist even if you manage to do that. I don't believe it would be very effective in the long run and implementing it would likely cause more problems than it would solve. It would be far more effective and realistic to increase tolerance to such a scale that racial misunderstandings could be expressed without any backlash by any racial group. In order to do this, disassociating oneself from their racial identity would probably be required in order to not take such things personally as they often are now. At least if such were allowed to be expressed, racial tension would diminish on a grand scale. Racial inequalities, however, would not, but I believe that inequalities like that are better left to sort itself out naturally and instead, we should focus on the underlying cultural issues which make and still continue to make such inequalities exist.
People need to come to agreement that races exist, groups of people are different, and there's nothing we can do about that as long as these races exist.
The worm is not inferior to the lion, the worm is perfectly suited for it's own environment - and the lion his. But that also makes them not compatable.
Mixed race marriages also prove to be less successful, as the recent thread shows.
I do think when people figure out others are different from them and there's nothing wrong with that - when we can view race from a proper perspective, racism itself - not just the word - will also fall out of use.
As we educate people more on the differences between races of man and species of the animal world - people will soon figure out being "Superior" in one thing makes you "Inferior" in another.
That's why I believe no race, species, or group is inferior to another - as each serves it's own purpose.
There is no reason to hate them either, especially when they aren't doing anything to you - another aspect of racism that will eventually fall out of existence when people choose to separate and be with their own kind.

And in order to do all that I mentioned, it would take far more than just any single group (whites) from doing it. It's an effort required of the bulk of all individuals of all races in society. And the worst thing you can do is promote integration while taking a step back and saying "oh, we should preserve our separate identities for diversity's sake" as multiculturalism does, for that promotes self-segregation but close contact with one another, and that's generally disastrous and is exactly what's occurring in the US today.
Each culture and race deserves to exist but still needs its own living space in my opinion.
Around here, previously >90% White areas are becoming more and more Latin American and they tend to give off bad vibes.
They are culturally incompatable with Whites and I can assure you racism has just grown at a rapid rate - on both sides.

I'm not going out of my way to stop them from being racist. Some people never change and it's better to let society wake them up. But I am still gonna say what I want to say when I want to say it. Does that mean I am on the hunt every day looking for racists? No. I will have my two cents because I have the freedom to have my 2 cents. If I want to shed my opinion on what I think is wrong I will. Kind of like how you had the freedom to disagree with that anon in the topic concerning Lord Of The Flies.
