"Our race has many superior qualities, compared to other races." How else can that be answered except with either a racist answer (anything above strongly disagree), and everything else is just how strong of a racist you are??
as they explained in analysis, racism is as much a part of political ideology as other social issues -- I'm glad you feel as if no one can answer anything except strongly disagree for that particular question -- probably means you are not a racist at all or are overly concerned with being labeled a racist
but if some people feel differently can't they answer to that affect? if some believe races are all the same but with some caveat they can answer "disagree" if some believe certain races have superior qualities they can answer "agree", if some are diehard supremacists they answer "strongly disagree" WTF is the problem?
much of politics involves taking stands, and on difficult issues, this and the other questions you brought up forces you to take a stand, you may lament that but thats the point of the quiz

I answered "strongly agree" to that one. Each race has their own positives and negatives. For example, the blacks are generally good atheletes (basketball, football, track & field, etc.) including the black women. Arabs could argue that they were the creators of modern civilization since recorded history started in ancient Mesopotamia (Iraq). Etc.

If blacks are good athletes, why do they generally not play cricket, hockey, golf, etc.
Greeks, Romans, Brits can all claim modern civilization...
You have little credible reasoning in your assertions.

Every response is a weird, racist, ultra-right-wing stereotypical verbal fart. Even his sig looks like it comes from the mind of a superficial liberal poser. It's all just too cliched (and yes, it does happen). Sorry Halos, but that's just how you come across to me. But that's enough about my speculation, I don't want to get vacationed for talking bad about members or something.

I'm surprised at your Economic score. I thought you'd be much more to the Right.
exactly my point...he said that blacks are known athletes...when in fact it is the circumstances and culture that determine the sports and athleticism. A hockey player is just as athletic as a basketball player.Originally posted by: raildogg

because in America, we dont play cricket. And hockey is dominated by european players. Tiger woods is black, no?
and yes, western civilization is modern

Those two statements are in contradiction. I scored very similar to Bush, who won over 50% of the popular vote. How can that be extremist? Maybe compared to the people here on ATOT, but certainly not across the US.
