I look at poverty and alcoholism as demographic markers as well.<br />I will be forever doomed as a racist.<br />Me, with my Eurocentric, colonial education as an anthropologist, and what has it gotten me.raespacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01483854346294104470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4222548002625629246.post-14872254899667247102011-09-02T12:00:49.749-05:002011-09-02T12:00:49.749-05:00You're missing the point Rae.

You need to look at not the "who," but the "why?"<br /><br />You go to such great length's to defend yourself from being labelled a racist, yet all it does is prove your ignorance further.<br /><br />How can you ignore generations of poverty, alcoholism, etc, that were all rooted in the near destruction of a culture hundreds of years ago?<br /><br />It pisses me off to see someone who, as someone of European decent, has indirectly benefited from the same demise I just spoke of.<br /><br />I don't know what the solution to the current situation is, but for anything to happen there has to be some understanding.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4222548002625629246.post-2626699140492493432011-08-31T13:23:58.105-05:002011-08-31T13:23:58.105-05:00I have had two occasions when someone has come at ...I have had two occasions when someone has come at me in a threatening manor since starting the blog. Both instances were non "Alph" people. I have had assistance from people in my neighbourhood, and they have been both "Alpha" and non "Alpha". I find it most interesting that the word demographic in my blog seems to be associated exclusively and all incompassing with "Alpha", instead of its intended meaning of those fitting into the profile of crime being committed. They are not one in the same.raespacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01483854346294104470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4222548002625629246.post-72847309097644065842011-08-31T13:09:47.420-05:002011-08-31T13:09:47.420-05:00Actually, you are right, Chris.

If I were an "Alpha", I don't think that would be true.<br />It is sad.<br /><br />I get the impression that the word "demographic" is irritating people. I don't think I have seen this blog so "p_off".<br /><br />It a problem of human pain, poverty, alcohol, ADHD, FASD, addiction and a whole bunch of other stuff that looks overwhelming. Maybe someday.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11245911936990589852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4222548002625629246.post-14523134437456661722011-08-30T20:59:01.846-05:002011-08-30T20:59:01.846-05:00Once again I will try to leave a comment, I have h...Once again I will try to leave a comment, I have had my comments disappeared so often I have almost given up. I'll just try for anonymous, but sign my name.<br />Demographics are so strange if we say the demograhic Alpha is guilty of 70% of crime, who are their victims the Alpha demograhic or a different Beta demographic.<br />Sadly crime seems to be pretty race specific, Alphas beat,stab steal from or shoot other Alphas.<br />It's just sad.
