First and foremost it was a problem with a clash of different religions, different cultures, different social views..

Naturally. That is where those sorts of sentiments spark from. I never disagreed with that. I just jumped to the conclusion without having to highlight that, because I assumed that you - and many on here - already knew or could figure this out for themselves. Did I assume too much or something?

I won't deny certain WN involvement in such works of Nordicism. It's nothing that I agree with and there are a great many White Nationalists that strongly stand against Nordicism; in my country and many others.

What makes Navajos, Cherokees and other Native Americans, a nations, is their ethnic homogeneity. Ethnic does not equal racial, which is what White is supposed to mean, albeit loosely..

Well, that in itself is debatable. Some pretty groundbreaking work has been done lately that suggests a Caucasoid Native element having inhabited this continent before the Mongoloid migration occurred. I saw a special on this not too long ago. I understand that's irrelevant to your point, but I thought it was interesting.

Anyway, I would assume that people on this forum know that the United States is inhabited by a European majority (though that is likely debatable in this day and age). Especially when certain posters here have a fetish for bashing them. Even more so if you take into account that North American Indians are an endangered species and the majority of those particular tribes are extinct.

I got that the first time you told me this.

Well, I don't go on VNN and I have occasionally visited Stormfront. I admit that there are indeed a lot of ignoramuses that frequently post on there. Though your assumption that they are all nothing more than a bunch of incestuous rednecks is far fetched and patently untrue in most instances. There also are some intelligent individuals that post on there as well; whose views on many issues do not differ significantly from your own. If you don't believe me I suggest you see for yourself. It might increase membership on here. Though, if you take the same patronizing approach you seem to have with me, that might not work. If you are genuinely interested in turning people onto your beliefs then perhaps you would abstain from such.

Of course not. That is why I said I would base it on a whim rather than any physical evidence. It's not too different from what you do when you imply that all White Nationalists fit the Jerry Springer Show stereotype most you Europeans believe they do.

Standards you would be vaguely familiar with, I'm sure. But essentially you're right. The same logic could also be applied to Europeans I'm sure. I seriously doubt Europe is inhabited by a collective group of prodigies.

Yeah I get it. A Spanish-American, who just so happens to live in Florida, has no right to take pride in both the history of his people or state correct? Also, I did not construct this forum. The "Yankee cloth" came automatically when I entered my location in my profile.

If it gets to the point where any actual percentages on such a thing would surface. But, as I previously mentioned, I personally find it far more of a British/Australian/South African phenomenon than an American one.

I don't see how when many of your attacks can encompass innocent bystanders that have nothing to do with what you are initially addressing.

I'm not following your logic here. Yes, it was a flag during the Spanish occupancy of this state, thus it is recognized as a legitimate symbol of its history. So much that in 1900 a group of guys decided to use it as the basis of the current state flag. This tradition is applied, in many instances, throughout the United States. So much that many states retain their Spanish names (to varying degrees); we celebrate Columbus Day, etc. It's crazy that we evil Americans would do such I know.

This particular flag (as my avatar) still flies in many areas (albeit Historic districts) of this state. Take a trip over to former Spanish colony, St. Augustine sometime. It's all over the place.

Same difference. To most English speakers we would call such establishments colonies, unless of course, they were independent; which they weren't at the time.
