@fredzy it wasn't a good response of mine, that one and only that one i will retract. however be aware you are committing the same fallacy seriously that i was using sarcastically: you generalize because it is easy to do so and because you want a scapegoat. back in 2003 it was like heresy for an american to criticize bush no matter how many civilians were killed by US troops, then a few years later US gas prices went up and everyone hated him...solution: blame 'those bush cronies' because NOW it matters
sorry omni, i used the wrong term, 'selective interview' would have been better. al-jazeera clearly pulled a michael moore by interviewing hundreds (thousands?) of people until they got the response they wanted. they didn't exactly conduct a quantitative survey of a statistically representative cohort. i was amused when i saw it on youtube but you shouldn't draw any serious conclusions from it
I just don't think that this applies so generally, but all we have is anecdotal evidence on both sides. I've been nearly everywhere and the one thing I have to show for it is the realization that human nature is universal. The only differences between us are cultural, but you can't generalize Americans because they have no culture. That's not an insult, but 200 years is not enough time to develop "culture" as commonly defined. As for some psycho killing Obama, only if John Hinckley Jr. busts out. [rimshot]
How so, by playing clips of the most crazy people rather than the least? When do you see people on CNN say this? Never! It's not because it doesn't happen, it's because they choose not to air the worst of it and typically avoid "those people." Hell, even Fox News does it, if to a lesser extent. These are the crazy types, as in the ones in the clip. "Palin is filled with the holy light" came out, if memory serves.
Problem is, these are rare, crazy nutjobs and al Jazeera couches it in normality which can be misleading. I just don't get why this is a big issue now, Amurrikin-bashing was hashed out years ago and it's old news now. AJE isn't normally this overtly biased, even as a joke, but every news corp has its bad editors I guess. Then again back in Oct. 2001 there were American senators saying that no arabs should be allowed to board airplanes and CNN had no problem airing it. =\ Also, Bob Loblaw.
I was actually correcting myself because I made an absolute. There were people who hated that site because it was stolen, but they were in the minority. The majority of people didn't care, and I was talking about them. Eventually those people turned to hate it because of how long it spent on the top viewed. I told you to read the comments so you could see how all those people changed their votes. I'm not changing what I said, just trying to clarify it. Can't help you with the context issue. U don't get it.
Hasn't the racist generation died out yet?? Come on it's taking for ever!! I can't wait til most of those who were around during the 30s and 40s die off, then they're racism will be staunched and will stop infecting future generations. I know that they've already sunk their claws into their children and probably their grandchildren, but I believe each successive generation will weed out the racism until it's a trivial matter. Hopefully they can rise above it.
