u still believe that? I think you should look more closely at he other bin Laden's with Bush and the American Gov. Was all about the pipeline that the Taliban had promised and then reneged on. Now who were the players who benefited from this pipeline and who benefited from a dead Bin Laden?

How in the hell can I make him understand what it’s like to be a person of colour, I can’t and DIY needs to understand that but keeps trying to prove he does. Yes your right, change the bullshit. I went to my first rally 3 weeks ago to protest the treatment of blacks and it was, for an old 60 year old white guy, pretty humbling. But I also fail to see how you are helping in anyway ...... do you think stereotyping is a way to fight racism? I’m not trying to be rude, just honest. You have made a point of stereotyping every race and nationality on the planet. Again I ask is that helpful to the cause. As some bright fellow here said equality matters equally.

The conspiracy is that it was Bin Laden, who had nothing to gain and was busy trying to survive in a cave on a dialysis machine. Russians wanted him dead, Taliban wanted him dead and his family wanted him dead. Just getting fuel for his generator would of been a logistical nightmare.

They gave him 2 taps to the forehead in Pakistan where he was living under the protection (our allies) of the government in a villa. That's the conspiracy, betrayal by allies.

The Taliban also managed to control the supply and trade of the worlds most important drug pipeline, and then suppresed it, ie the poppy fields.
Production has risen every year since.

Take it how youlike but PM Bhutto swore adamantly even befor 9/11 that Bin Laden was sick and hiding out in a dismal existence. She, a foreign women of color, was assasinated shortly after and well before the two taps Pakistani trip.

The post this excerpt came from wasn't bad, I nearly liked it.

I would add, "or an authority (or plurality of authorities) tells them to perceive it that way" . That's an important distinction, since many people don't arrive at their choices thru an application of their own critical thinking.

Instead, they buy into a packaged narrative as they were trained to do, based on loyalty to their team. That then becomes their reality and they attach emotionally, seeking a cozy echo chamber to reinforce their sometimes self contradicting "beliefs" .

Doesn't have to be authority though. Could also be a collective feeding off each other. Beauty of the internet you can have a crazy idea or ideal or something and jump on the net and your bound to find some one that agrees with you.

Yes, that's true. People feel "more right" if they can get a bunch of people to agree with them. Of course a larger body of people all believing in, or voting on a contradiction isn't evidence of the truth.

It's evidence of human psychology.

Here's my take on racism in America.
A black Spanish person calls himself Spanish.
A black French person calls himself french.
A black Scottish person calls himself Scottish
A black American calls himself a BLACK AMERICAN.
How can black Americans expect to be treated seriously when they refuse to even call themselves an American?
They're black first and then American.
Some of them are black first, African second and American third.
How can you expect equality when you don't count yourself as an equal?
