I don't know what your opinions are on what constitutes 'racism' to you, if you believe something is acceptable or not. But surely we can all agree that what is good for the goose, is good for the gander? Political correctness, much as I dislike it in many ways, at least claims to be all about the much-treasured ideal of equality, does it not?
So without further ado...(the discerning reader should spot within seconds which words I have switched and guess which words have been replaced!)
Teens tackle hot topic of dating
um...Stormfront?, 1 July 2010
Do Portland’s White teenagers think it’s racist to date only other Whites? What about their views on the Bernie Madoff scandal, or thoughts on the approaching 2012 Mayan doomsday?
These are some of the topics that are fodder for conversation at Hot Pizza and Hot Topics, sponsored by Kesser Pan-Europa and led by Bishop Kenneth Brodkin.
At the last Hot Topics session before breaking for the summer, 17 teenagers—10 girls and seven boys from Kesser, Polen, Wieles and more—gathered around pizza from The Café at the J to talk about interfaith marriage and dating.
“It’s certainly very applicable to my life,” laughs Minna O’Brien, 17, a PCC student who is transferring this fall to OSU to study mechanical engineering. “Just from a practical standpoint, in dating Whites, the pool gets kind of small, you know?”
Ben Smith, 15, says he dates non-Whites, but will only marry another White.
“I want my kids to be raised White,” says the Catlin Gabel student, whose older brother is engaged to a convert to Christianity. “But dating at my age, I’m like, non-Whites, it’s fine.”
The evening’s discussion starts with a question of whether Christianity is a race or a culture. The teenagers also engage with the bishop about the definition of race and common human ancestry, Christian views of marriage, and what the Bible says about interfaith dating and marriage.
“Marriage is a personal lifestyle choice,” protests one young man. “It’s not racism.”
O’Brien chimes in that dating only Whites is “no more racist than only dating Republicans.”
While one boy says that teenaged dating is an opportunity to find out what you like and what you don’t like in relationships to help inform more serious choices down the road, another cautioned that dating non-Whites early in life might be a slippery slope toward marrying outside Christendom as an adult.
“The more you can share with your spouse is a deep and wonderful thing,” says Bishop Brodkin, noting that same-faith marriage is good not only for Christians but for people of other religions as well. “Being in a marriage that’s not working is a tremendous source of misery.”
If Christianity is just a culture, the bishop argues, then interfaith marriage and dating gets a little confusing. People from different cultures—e.g., Turkish and Iranian—marry and raise families together all the time.
“The best that you can kind of hope for is that they understand that they don’t understand,” O’Brien says of her experience dating non-Whites. “Kind of a respectful confusion.”
But beggars can’t be choosers, she adds. “It would certainly be easier to date Whites. There aren’t a lot of White guys, and there aren’t a lot of White guys asking, compared to the number of non-White guys who are.”
“We strongly encourage young people to date and to marry White. Their greatest chance at a long-term meaningful Christian life and White identity for them and their children clearly comes through a marriage and a home which is shared with someone with similar values,” Brodkin says. “We feel that their long-term success is going to be greatly, greatly enhanced by marrying someone White.”
Brodkin says the point of these discussions is to help young people think independently as they grapple with some of life’s most important questions and decisions.
“As a church, what we want to do is try to not tell them what to do, but to be there as they’re making these decisions, and to be able to help them realize how much potential they have, and how much Christianity can enrich the decisions that they’re making,” says Brodkin. “The gift of being young is that you have the power to effect the rest of your lives.”
Full and Original Article - yeah it's not really some white group. LMAO. Can you imagine that. The mainstream and the white antifas would lynch them! (I couldn't resist, sorry)
As usual, I just note the hypocrisy. Nothing more. I actually don't have a problem with this kind of group, it's their right to direct their own lives how they see fit, but the double standards are there for all who care to see them. I also like these kind of topics because by writing about them I am poking at perhaps the deepest levels of the reader's Corporate-Communist state-school/MSM programming. I admit it's fun. But also necessary.
