: Yeah that's why if you check out Spotlight that they're so pally with the KKK, the Scottish KKK, the Irish Social Action Initiative, the Ulster Loyalists, the Danish Flemish nationalists, the National socialists in Holland and Le Pen.

Yes, hypocrits, aren't they. Doesn't mean they are expansionist, though.

: I just think it is that's all, your colour is not conducive of anything I mean people dont achieve things because they are white or black or whatever. Similarly I would deny that anyone achieves things because they are of a particular nation.

Yes, race doesn't xist, we've established that. The question is though, does nation exist any more than race does?

: You can if you want, you'd be a nazi though wouldn't you and do you want that?

Right, so what stops me being a azi when I want to look out for my fellow English?

: Right here's the logic you get black, white, red, yellow Americans, that identity isnt exclusive, race is.

Don't teh blackk Americans refer to themselves as African Americans? White don't say Euro Americans. Further, nation is exclusive, just because nation doesn't equal skin colour that its not exclusive- I don't have an American passport, that excludes me. If I came from Mexico, my lack of an american passpoort might be bad news for me.
