Wesley Clark Suffers From White Guilt?
Interesting.

"Let's not forget what the origin of the problem is. There is no place in modern Europe for ethnically pure states. That's a 19th century idea and we are trying to transition into the 21st century, and we are going to do it with multi-ethnic states."- General Wesley Clark

I'm guessing that Clark lives in an all White neighborhood - Sent his
children to an all White private school system, Yet he hates his own race.

You'll also notice Wesley Clark and others of his ilk never call for a multi-ethnic Africa or middle east. Perhaps he truly is dead set on doing the bidding of the Neocons.

1. It Is Interesting
How does "There is no place in modern Europe for ethnically pure states" equal "he hates his own race"?

3. Strange mixed message going on there
"He hates his own race" and "dead set on doing the bidding of the Neocons."

2. Yet "he hates his own race".
That's red flag language Mortensen. The only people I see use that phrase are klan types. You aren't a member of some white identity group are you?

10. Maybe he just has slight ambivalence towards his own race
No. Is there a particular reason you have Al Sharpton in your sig?

13. Yeah! Not bound to hate blacks like you seem to be by the charter
of your little group. We liberals are that way - unrully.

4. You Are Dead Wrong

Wes Clark speaks of us as nation of immigrants. These statements you quote regard his views against ethnic cleansing - why he wanted to go to Kosovo, why he wanted to go to Rwanda.

You quote him as being supportive of a multi-ethnic states and somehow twisted that supportive quote into saying he is supportive of neocons. Actually, you don't even twist - you just completely jump off the cliff to get from his quote to your conclusion. You don't even know what you are talking about.

Clark speaks of the Middle East and Clinton's near success at the end of his term with the Palestinians/Israel. What Clark goes on to say is that any solution must include the support of Jordan, Eygpt, Syria, Iran and Iraq. He is very supportive of a multi-racial middle east - and from his support of stopping the slaughter in Rwanda - Africa as well.

And finally, - this man's army is very multi-racial - Clark lived in a world that was far more multiracial than the world you or I live in.

6. What on earth are you talking about?
Talk about tortured logic. Clark against ethnic cleansing and you conclude he suffers from "white guilt" and hates his own race? I think you'd be happier at the board that shall not be named.

12. Clark's intelligence
I think that Clark's intelligence scares a lot of people. Don't you?

16. This is so stupid
I almost feel unclean for responding.

Your first paragraph - So? sounds right to me

Second paragraph - that's really dumb. Clark's one child grew up on army bases, probably the most integrated place you can be. Clark's son went to public school.

Third - shudder

19. He's Already Changed His Profile
Comment now reads, "I agree with liberal philosophy... but Ann Coulter is hot! I'm so torn!"
