as an american living in a member country of the european union, i would ask that you provide some kind of reference for the assertion that american cities and european union cities share comparable statistics (per drugs, crime, teen pregnancy, etc) because this is not what i've seen or read...
the racial problems that exist are obvious...it's not like in the states where polite overcompensation makes it glaringly obvious how the speaker really feels, nor would a european likely say to another "speak (insert language here) for God's sake!"...there are so many people here who speak at least three languages, rich and poor alike, it would look stupid to assert one of one's language onto someone else whose three or more languages don't happen to be any of your own...'course it looks stupid to do that anyway since the other person doesn't understand what you're saying...

racial problems exist because someone doesn't like someone else's difference -- based only on the difference and nothing else...the EU has a multilingual citizenry...this alone is a huge advantage over the US because it's one more difference many people will never have to deal with...
i've met very few europeans in my daily life that wouldn't tell you who they do/don't like when the subject comes up...i'm not saying this is good, i'm saying it's not a secret on any level...there's no guesswork to it, no wondering what might happen if [i]that[/i] guy walks into [i]this[/i] shop...for these reasons i wouldn't call it tension because tension is what you get when everyone refuses to acknowledge a very real problem...

just as anyone here could easily get the idea that american cities are full of guns, hate, drugs, and crime, so can someone in the states easily get the idea that the european union is trying to skirt a major social dilemma...

all the while noting that race issues are a problem for both the EU and the US, and like so many who want to make sure everyone gets their fair share of blame, you've suggested no alternatives or solutions to the problem...
making people aware of the EU's race issues is just redundant...

ps...russia is not a member of the european union...

Racial minorities don't belong in Europe. Period. Once they're all deported, there ends racial tension.

God created the different nations and races of this world and put them in their own lands for the simple reason that if they mixed and lived with each other, hatred would enter men's hearts.

In America, the racial minorities are vastly and disproportionately involved in violence compared to white people. This contributes to a serious decline in quality of life for every American.

In Europe, racial minorities are still segregated for the most part, which is good in a way, but bad in a way because they'll never be accepted by the host populace(for the most part). This results in periodic violence.

Multiculturalism is a grotesque Communist Marxist LIE and a seriously dangerous policy for social engineering. It can only lead to chaos and destruction whether in America, Europe or Australia, or wherever.

But human beings have always been known to learn things the hard and bloody way. Oh well.

This American Enterprise Institute publication stresses that crime rates in major European cities will meet or exceed those in American cities soon

I used to live in the UK and I have visited some of the suburbs around Paris that are burning as I type, and I can assure you that these ghettos have a terrible drug, gun, and crime situation.

>racial problems exist because someone doesn't like someone else's difference

I think it's more than that. It's a class issue as well as a nationalistic one. No matter how many strides a minority makes, he will always be looked down upon as inferior in mainstream socitey.

>you've suggested no alternatives or solutions to the problem...

Well, there is NO easy or happy solution to this problem.

>nor would a european likely say to another "speak (insert language here) for God's sake!"...

yeah, that's crap. i've heard it 100 times. language is just one part of racism. and not the biggest. skin, buddy.

as to this tommyd guy... you sound like hitler. i suppose god created hitler as well...

Good lord, I thought tommyd was some sort of irrational left-winger from his previous posts, but now he comes right out and shows us that he's an unabashed fascist. Guess I misjudged him - too favorably.

>>This American Enterprise Institute publication stresses that crime rates in major European cities will meet or exceed those in American cities soon<<

This makes a lot of sense since crime has been steadily going down in the US as it has steadily been going up in European nations.

I don't think race has much to do with this increase in crime. It seems more sensible to attribute a lot of it to the weak economies and enormous unemployment in most European nations.

Dave

Hah!!! That's what the French get.

Giving welfare to all the Arubs who pour into the country. And when the white working class is plagued by abortions and other liberal bullshit no one can give the poor Arubs their welfare checks.

Racism may be the white elephant as far as the European media is concerned, but I found people talking about it. They call it 'immigration'.

My experience in Denmark was that the Danes are proud of their particular brand of socialism, and generally feel it a good deal. As such, they seem to take pride in it, and try to hold up their end of the bargain. I was impressed with how educated the average Dane is, for instance.

Immigrants are seen generally as freeloaders. The Danish welfare system holds that so long as you are on Danish soil, no matter your national origin, you are entitled to Danish health care, education, etc.

I found the view to be a source of great cognitive dissonance. At once the Danes pride themselves on the scope of their socialism, and yet feel territorial and that the benefits must be earned. They also seemed very aware of the inherent racism in being broadly anti-immigrant, and yet still held generally anti-immigrant, or restrictive views on immigration.

Well, it's tough to have it both ways. Tolerance is always put to the test when it appears that lenience is yielding its intended benefits.

Dave and zingzing,

How does telling the truth make one a fascist??

I'm not saying the white race is innocent in anything, but why are non-whites so full of hatred in Western nations? I mean, compared to the countries where they come from, they should take their lot in life and be happy, no?

And America is not immune from non-white rampages. Katrina aftermath is one recent example. Also, the USA has a better police state in place than alot of other countries. But we're not immune to violence.....you just don't hear about it all.

As for France, these riots will only swell the ranks of Le Pen's National Front and from there, France can take on the job of deporting all their undesirables. If any nation is going to do a revolution, it's the French. Vive la France!

Been reading the Turner Diaries a bit much, have we, Tommy?

Dave

Dave,
I guess we'll just have to wait it out and see which view is right and what happens in the future. No use in arguing with you. You and your FreeRepublic mindset have aquired a knee-jerk Pavlovian reaction to any views which don't fit the official party line as dictated by your Leaders. It's exactly like the Liberals and their knee-jerk reactions to any White person who poo-poos multiculturalism as not all cracked up to what it's supposed to be. You and the Liberals: Perfect together! Very interesting.

My FreeRepublic mindset? I've been permanently banned from Free Republic for holding unacceptable beliefs. Who do you think my 'leaders' are, btw?

I'm no fan of multiculturalism, but bald-faced racism isn't the answer.

Dave

Hey if every race is suited for their own country then is not that white is just suited for Europe. You go and snatch people's land in America, Australia, etc.

Come on. Look into your own jacket before pointing to other. We all are Humans and selfishly human. We do not decide to be born of any colour or any country, it is just the fate.

I don't exactly know what you mean by a 'race problem'-- I suppose you are suggesting that nowhere in the entire world will ethnic-European people exist by 2100 due to racial self-annihilation?

I suppose any rejection of such a proposal is 'racist'....
