The above claim was posted off-topic in When does mere speech justify physical attack? I have split it to a new thread here, titled "Can Americans in the majority do as they wish?" Punjabtrini now has 24 hours to provide a source for this bizarre claim of fact. His next suspension will be for one month.

In no place did I refer to White Americans! This is an exclamation mark only and not having to do with anything except gramatical 'absurdity', i.e. my mistake and problems associated with such.
I cannot provide proof but agin I did not make the claim of White Americans doing as they wish. I cannot defend against a straw man so I defer to the consequences!
MY OWN PERSONAL VIEW:
N.B. Someone may have said this previously so I have no idea where to start to look so this is only a paraphrase from either Schopenhauer, Unamuno, Nietzsche or some other person!
Power that is seen is rarely power. Because people can point to it, they see only that. Real power is often concealed and often operates under the radar so it works or may work through potential 'surrogates' and other wishing to take the fall but the true wielders are silent! |

Sorry. I have corrected the title of the thread to reflect the precise wording of your claim of fact. Your 24-hour grace period has been re-started.
As an aside, your denial of having meant "White Americans" is very intriguing indeed. I would be interested to learn exactly how you delineate those Americans who both (1) "are the majority" and (2) "can do as they wish." Just who are those people? This request is in addition to the above request for a source (paragraph 3.2). It is a request for clarification of meaning (paragraph 3.6.1). |
