Yup, even if you pay your taxes. They'll still take your land from you.

I want to build my own island out of plastic bottles and such, and plant grass and such on the surface, put a hut in the middle, get some livestock, and just float away.

Totage will be off of Mingle soon.

Please don't take offense. You are free to believe what you want as far as I'm concerned.
BUT,
There are people that have money and power that are not prejudiced. I know, because I have met them, worked with them and for a time when I was a teenager, lived with them.

However, the moment anyone starts to group everyone under a single condition is them attempting to classify all people to their idea of who they should be. If you drill that thinking down to the root, its prejudism.

Your statement of no human as an individual, no matter gender or race, are capable of handling a huge amount of either money or power without going overboard at some point places all people into a category of your rules.

You might as well write ~ no black persons (white persons, asian persons, native american persons, aborigine persons) are capable of handling a huge amount of either money or power without going overboard at some point.

You put me and everyone else into your idea of how things must be. You have dictated who I am according to you.
Like I said earlier, some people do it without even realizing they're doing it.

yeah, it's a lot of work, but so is being "civilized". I think it evens out to the same amount of work, it's just more satisfying when you're working for yourself, not someone else mostly.

See, there's a problem with equality.
Equality requires that you give up power over other people.
Its easy for people that have no desire to have power over others but a lot of people fear equality as a kind of helplessness.
They think that if everyone is equal, others will take advantage of them and so, they attempt to keep others feeling inferior.

The man/woman inequality is a perfect and easy example of this.
Men will belittle a woman to try to make them feel inferior.
Think of the 50's and 60's housewife syndrome.
Think about the whole porn, sex sells industry.
Women, for most men, are objects to be owned or commanded.

Some men, can't think of a woman in any other way.
They are their property.
Some men, like myself and a few others here that I have met think of women as equals. I treated my X as an equal. I treat women as equals and acknowledge their strengths and help them better their weaknesses.
Its a two way street.

Religion perpetuates the prejudice against women.
In a lot of religions, women ARE the property of their men.
Look at the behavior of men in Muslim communities and in those countries.
Stonings, infant deaths, having clitoris cut out, burkas.
Its amazing we survived as a species to this extent?

I have nothing really against black people as long as they behave normal, as in not as if they are superior or demand by their behaviour they be treated as superior. I hate that friggin' chit.

I also don't see why this should be on black people. It's always as if they're special. They're not.
Apart from Caucasians there's a whole lot of different races. Why do you have to highlight black people?
That's what I don't like, they're always made out to be special while they're not. There's also Native Americans in the US you know, and no, Native Americans are not white people.
Yet, no one ever comes up with a similar topic on Native Americans, or Mongols or Maori.
Maybe we'd get somewhere if this BS of highlighting white vs. black stops, and you are doing the exact same thing. You just turn it around. Mankind is not black & white people.
There's Arab, Asian, Maori, Aboriginal, Native American, Innuit and so on.
Black people aren't the only ones who suffered hundreds of years ago. Get over it.

I agree that we're not supposed to fight each other. But religion is to blame for the most part for that.
And the fact that non-Caucasians can't seem to get over things, often they're the ones who latch on to believing and proclaiming they get treated inferior while many white people don't have a problem with them at all.
I know it's different in the States, in the south mostly I guess, but again that is due to people there being ridiculously religious.
Religion is to blame for thousands and thousands, prolly more millions and millions, of people throughout history, and still wreaks havoc today.

Funny thing to think of... if it wasn't for religion we might actually have peace in the world.

When I consider the people around me I don't really think about their color or their race. Unless they make it a point to point it out.
I consider others as equals.

My parents on the other hand were very prejudiced. I started to be but I found no basis for it in the people I met. They were from a different time and were alcoholics so I'm glad I broke that chain.
My children are not prejudiced either. Probably because we (their parents) were not consumed with hatred while they were growing up.

When I look for a woman, I do look for Caucasian women but only because I have never dated out of my race and I don't know the customs and expectations.

Where I have a problem is when people that are not my race point out how discriminated against they are and try to justify rude, insensitive, bad behavior with that excuse. I also have a problem with YTs that do the same thing.

I'm actually not certain we all originated from Africa...
Most people come from Atlantis, not entirely sure where those people came from. There have been human species that went extinct.
Atlantis was a mixed people, the native Americans come from that via the Toltecs, Aztec and so on, but there was also people who fled to mainland Europe when Atlantis flooded, some stayed in Europe others continued on to Egypt area. Yet other groups went further up north and then left into Russia.
Time to re-read my Legends of Lemuria & Atlantis, lol, which deals with the root races etc.
