The only people I cross the road to avoid are piss-stinking derelicts who are waving a can of Special Brew and making incoherent threats to trees.

In my neck of the woods they appear to be 100% white. Or slightly yellowish, depending on how close to failure their livers are.

Paiktis seems to base his diagnosis of 'caucasian psychosis' on peoples sense of belonging to an ethnic group, on being proud of their roots.

But this is not just a caucasian thing. Korean people here in SK obsess over famous ancestors and family trees and proving they are absolutely and 100% Korean far more than the more mongrelized and cosmopolitan 'whites' of north america.

So is there an Asian Psychosis? Or an African Psychosis for africans who do the same thing?

YES! Only, 'psychosis' is just a derogatory word. What you really mean is 'culture'.

'Racial' groups do not exist except as mental-cultural phenomena.

I think you're really trying to say that:
A) White culture still exists B) It is inherently racist

I don't think that the 'White Race' as a culture or idea has existed in most mainstream, cosmopolitan North Americans for a generation, as a way of self-identification, as an 'My-tribe' group. That culture is now gone or marginalized.
Most North Americans define their culture more subtly than that nowadays.

Unfortunately, there are still some remnants of the idea of the White Race or culture. And, equally unfortunately, many Black Americans still primarily identify themselves as part of 'Black Culture', instead of undergoing the beneficial cultural splintering and disintegration that the old White Culture or "race" has.

Race has nothing to do with whether I would cross the street. If they look like a thug... and the situation doesn't feel right... I'm out of there. A white guy... Asian guy... Black guy... it depends on how they are dressed, and how I perceive their attitude/actions. A guy in a suit is less likely to mug you, no matter what race they are

I cross the street to avoid white people. Almost all serial killers are white people. In order to protect myself from being a serial killer victim, I try to hide from white people, especially the nice quiet ones. "It's called situational awareness, and it helps to ensure safety."

I will keep my distance from anyone when I'm walking through my area late at night, but race isn't a factor.

I was rather disturbed when my girlfriend once sent me a text message saying that there were some black guys hanging around near where the car she was in was parked, however.

I avoid drunks regardless of race. I generally do not avoid anyone on the street. Violent people usually base their lives around fear. If they "smell" fear they will attack. But there is no guarantee that they will not attack anyway BECAUSE they are afraid of you. It is foolish in any case to walk into a threatening group of gangsters and think you are going to act cool and thereby prevent them from harming you. The best option if you are unsure of the situation is to carry a hand gun in your pocket. If you don't have one then keep one hand in your pocket as you walk by. Of course the laws are now such that only the crimials are allowed to carry guns so you may as well turn tail and run if you see a situation coming that you cannot avoid. I worked in a prison for several years and some of these people (black, white, whatever) just love to beat up and kill people for the fun of it. On the other hand many of them would appreciate it if you just said good morning as you walked by. Showing simple respect for a fellow human being as you pass by is generally not despised by anyone unless they are drunk or loaded on something or another.

I don't tend to avoid individuals (since I seem to exude enough confidence/whatever that people generally won't try to pick a one-on-one fight, drunk or not), but I'll avoid a group of people if they seem menacing/drunk/etc. Another tactic that seems to work is to get the drop on them -- when somebody asks "Excuse me, but do you know how to get to the train station?" or "Good evening" or "Nice shirt" or whatever, yell "Let go of my purse!" and sucker punch them. This technique works best when you're wearing a tinfoil hat and haven't bathed in two weeks.

BTW Speer, which black man does the OP refer to? Is his name John, by any chance? Because if so then I think that I might know who you're talking about, and no, I don't see any reason why I'd cross the street to avoid John (i.e. "the black man"), since he's quite affable. If you're talking about Kurt (i.e. "the black man"), though, then I might avoid him just because he's pretty opinionated and can't seem to take a hint -- if he managed to back me into a corner then he'd talk my ear off until I was late for class.

Didn't Jesse Jackson say he is always relieved when, if hears footsteps behind him at night, he turns and sees a white person instead of a black person? It's true of many blacks. That pretty much demolishes paitycakes' silly argument.

If I'm understanding Paiktis's troll correctly, then my saying "Most of my ancestors were French" makes me a racist. However, that's simplistically equating a statement of fact ("Most of my ancestors were French") with a (non-existent) statement of opinion ("Most of my ancestors were French, so I am superior to all Africans"). I don't see how Paiktis can honestly expect anybody to believe that these statements are equivalent, seeing as how he has previously started "Greeks are great, just look at our lustrous history" threads/trolls. I call bullshit on this.

The ones who reacted to my statement (boris, loinburger) are some of the people who suffer from "caucasian psychosis" as is seen clearly in previous posts they made.


I think it is no accident that those who reacted to my statement are the very racists (consciously or not) themselves.

As tired and predictable as most things you post here, and just as devoid of fact. As was pointed out, anyone like you challenging others as racists is laughable, considering your own vitriol against Turks.
