chinese are forced to bow down to whites from outside the country so they take revenge on whites inside their country.
turks look white but dont have the authority and power of europeans so become the scapegoat.
That was disturbing.
But also disturbing are the comments that were posted under the video. Some real brain-dead racists more P.O.'d that it’s a ‘white kid’ being beaten in China, when in fact the kid is clearly Asian, perhaps Huiger?
I might feel differently if the kid were older, like in his teens or something. True, some kids are true sociopaths from very early on, but I’m not sure this was such a case.
Viewing this and reading the remarks should give us all a guideline as to how affected we are by our own countries propaganda.
If you can’t look at that without thinking it’s a white kid and also while hating the Chinese in general, then it’s likely you are not much of a thinker and don’t really have a good grasp of reality.
If you watch that, are disgusted but realize there is context that is required, you are likely less affected than someone who is a jersey shore fan who can’t get enough celebrity “news”. 
Just saying. You should see how Native kids are treated in Manitoba up North. Frightening.
Heck, you should see how our government treats the Natives in our country. I pretty much guarantee you that you will come away with a pretty clear idea that Canada practices Apartheid in a form and you would be correct.

Nah, not true, you are just a tin hat wearing conspiracy theorist if you accuse any “democratic” Western government of Fascist/Nazi like behavior!
The truth of the matter is that the Western “democratic” governments who “respect” human rights and justice, have never mistreated their darker natives, and nor have they done so in foreign lands. All this stuff about US and allies mass murdering Iraqis and Afghans is just tin hat wearing conspiracy theories, because everyone knows that the over a million dead in the Middle East are victims of heart attacks and food poisoning, as well as suicides, after all, they are all known to blow themselves up all over the place, specially the alcohol drinking and strip club frequenting ones amongst them…

No,that would be you all isolated in your corner of South America whining about teh USA when your country is a horrible backwards place.
that makes you a hypocrite.
I know my government does questionable and erroneous things.
Let’s talk about what utter scum run your country for a while shall we?
Because I"m pretty sure Colombia’s government is pretty much mostly greedy scumbags that would put the worst congressman to shame. Not to mention your country has been in a state of Armed conflict between your two political parties since 1964!
Dude, you simply have NO place being critical of the USA in the manner you are with your whacked out tinfoil theories.
GO clean up the bed you’ve been crapping in before you start crapping in other beds.
First of all, how many times have you been to Colombia?
Anyway, I have said this before, Colombia has to quadruple its corruption and criminality before it even gets close to that of the Northern Hemisphere.
[QUOTE=David Jamieson;1149282]No,that would be you all isolated in your corner of South America whining about teh USA when your country is a horrible backwards place.[/QUOTE]
You don’t read my posts properly, do you? LOL!
I have no problems with the USA. I have met some great people from there. My problem is with people who run the USA and her allies - that is the private corporate/banking cartels, who manipulate their populations like puppets.
You are not aware of that because you are a pompous kind of guy and your blindly racist and offensive (not to me, because I take them with a pinch of intellectual salt, but to others, who may not see things the way I do) comments above (and it is not the first time you have jumped into conclusions about Colombia) prove it.
[QUOTE=David Jamieson;1148985]that makes you a hypocrite.[/QUOTE]
You calling me hypocrite demonstrates that you have misunderstood whom I am criticizing, and that is not “the USA”…
[QUOTE=David Jamieson;1148985]I know my government does questionable and erroneous things.[/QUOTE]
Really? No, that can’t be possible, how can human rights loving, “democratic” and “just” government ever to erroneous things? :eek:
It must have been one of the rare cases, not of erroneous goings ons, but that something leaked to the press, before the people in control of the media were able to put a lid on it…LOL!
[QUOTE=David Jamieson;1148985]Let’s talk about what utter scum run your country for a while shall we?[/QUOTE]
You can jump up and down and throw a tantrum, but the fact of the matter is that the “scum” in my government are supported and armed by the “scum” in the governments in your part of the world!
So, who are the bigger scum?
[QUOTE=David Jamieson;1148985]Because I"m pretty sure Colombia’s government is pretty much mostly greedy scumbags that would put the worst congressman to shame.[/QUOTE]
I DOUBT THAT!
To my knowledge no Colombian member of government has ever voted for bombing civilian targets on the other side of the world, killing hundreds and thousands of innocent human beings, in order to steal their natural resources!!!
Again, who are the bigger scum?
[QUOTE=David Jamieson;1148985]Not to mention your country has been in a state of Armed conflict between your two political parties since 1964![/QUOTE]
Well, the war would have ended sooner if the “scumbags” in your part of the world did not supply BOTH SIDES of the conflict with arms!!!
Also, there have been times that democratically elected, patriotic leaders in my part of the world have been removed from power, through coups and even assassinations and replaced by murderous dictators by the scum from your part of the world. They were also armed by the scum from your part of the world enabling them to commit murderous acts against their own populations, all of this while your “scum” publically took a moral higher ground criticizing them, no doubt for the benefit of their own dumbed down “free” populations - “we are free”, but they are not", kind of propaganda, which seems to have worked with the likes of you, reading your condecending remarks regarding a wonderful country that you have never been to!
So, the question remains, who are the bigger scums? Who has more blood on their hands? Who has stolen more from the world? Who is manipulating world politics for even more control?
I know that facts like the above are new for the politically naive members of the population in the Northern Hemisphere, living as always, in their own intellectually comfortable cocoons, but facts are FACTS! Just like the fact that during the Iran and Iraq war, the US - or more correctly, the corporate powers that run it (and her allies), supplied both sides of conflict with weapons. By the way, by some accounts, that war claimed approximately 2 million lives.
So, just a few conflicts participated in, or sanctioned by your “bosses” in the North, may have caused around a 3 million deaths in the relatively recent times. I am not even counting the stuff that went on in the former Yugoslavia, Lebanon, Africa, etc.
How can poor old Colombia compete with such an “enviable” track record? See, there are somethings the scumbags in your part of the world are better at than those in Colombia! LOL!
[QUOTE=David Jamieson;1148985]Dude, you simply have NO place being critical of the USA in the manner you are with your whacked out tinfoil theories.[/QUOTE]
Again, I am NOT critical of the US, whose populations are as much victims of the elite that run that country as others who suffer from their foreign politcy. So, please STOP putting words into my mouth in order to gain points with the lesser politically sophisticated members in this forum!!!
As for “tin foil” theories, christ, you are not going to forgive me for using as a reference, that world famous source of tin hat wearing conspiracies the British Guardian newspaper, LOL, LOL, LOL!
You know, if you were not so full of ego, you would come out and acknowledge that your laughing at my “The Guardian” source (presented to you in another thread), and implying that it was a conspiracy site was a HUGE mistake, and perhaps even apologize, but I am not holding my breath.
[QUOTE=David Jamieson;1148985]GO clean up the bed you’ve been crapping in before you start crapping in other beds.[/QUOTE]
I don’t know what you do in your bed, but here in Colombia, we just have sex with beautiful women, if more people did that (and were good at it), then perhaps there would be less inclination about mass murdering populations half a world away?
so easy!
because you cannot resist that dumpling…that last dumpling. It calls to you.
Armed Conflict for 48 years, the FARC, the Coke, The gangs, the disappearings, the murders in the streets of Bogota.
yeah, let’s all go to Colombia. :rolleyes:

Again, it would not have lasted that long if the scums in the Northern Hemisphere did not supply both sides with arms!!!
QUOTE=David Jamieson;1149320the Coke, [/QUOTE]
The Coke has the power that it has because, of the scum in you part of the world who not only consume it, but also import it!
The US government, just like the British and probably other allies’ governments have a history in drugs dealing. Look at the Opium Trade to start with; Irangate (the tip of the iceberg), as far as coke is concerned; look at how much the heroin exports from Afghanistan have increased since the US invaded to stop the big bad Taliban trading in drugs!
While you do that, WAKE UP!
QUOTE=David Jamieson;1149320The gangs, [/QUOTE]
We don’t have gangs here that are as criminal or powerful as the scums who own your governments, not even the scums that run your governments!
QUOTE=David Jamieson;1149320the disappearings, [/QUOTE]
Have a look at the number OFFICIAL disappearances in North America, including that of children!
QUOTE=David Jamieson;1149320the murders in the streets of Bogota.[/QUOTE]
You have got me there, as I never knew that there were no murders in the streets of big cities in North America…:eek::rolleyes:
Actually Bogota is much, much and I mean much safer than it used to be. It is very cosmopolitan and is one of the best and most exciting cities in South America, with great night life and gastronomy. Medellin, the second city is also a great place to live and do business in, with a climate that is described as “the Eternal Spring”.
You could actually aim your comments at Cali, where I live, which is still considered the most dangerous city in Colombia, but again, you are much more likely to get beaten to death by some guys who had a few drinks and “just want to have fun”, in the Northern Hemisphere. People here smile and converse with people they don’t know. The exceptionally beautiful ladies are easily approachable and don’t walk around with the unhealthy attitudes one sees “further North”.
Yes, the people here are sociable, friendly and helpful. However, if you act tough, unrespectful and pompous, then you will probably get very hurt!
The neighborhood I live in is very safe, you have old ladies walking their dogs in the evenings at the square where people of all ages gather to have beer and chat. It is one of the main gastronomic and hotel zones in the city. The kind of life I have here would be a dream for many who live in the “First” World.
QUOTE=David Jamieson;1149320yeah, let’s all go to Colombia. :rolleyes:[/QUOTE]
I would suggest 3 or 4 nights in Bogota, then 3 nights in Medellin, then if salsa dancing is your thing, a weekend in Cali (the World Salsa Capital). To finish it off you can spend a week in the tropical paradise island of San Andres. 
I apologize in advance for all the feelings of depression you will feel when you get back to Canada! 
what? yall never seen nobody get hurt before? there are far worse things than gettin racked like that.
Nothing so bad as bad pizza
[QUOTE=Syn7;1149347]what? ya’ll never seen nobody get hurt before? there are far worse things than gettin racked like that.[/QUOTE]
I agree , bad pizza, dishwater coffee, life stinks sometimes. A question of perspective.
However, the ‘lesson’ the crowd taught the child is not one that is going to do their society any good.
A child’s life is like a piece of paper on which every person leaves a mark
Protect the interests of the youth, women and children provide assistance to young students who cannot afford to continue their studies, help the youth and women to organize in order to participate on an equal footing in all work useful to the war effort and to social progress, ensure freedom of marriage and equality as between men and women, and give young people and children useful education. – Chairman Mao Ze Dong
The world is yours, as well as ours, but in the last analysis, it is yours. You young people, full of vigor and vitality, are in the bloom of life, like the sun at eight or nine in the morning. Our hope is placed on you. The world belongs to you. China’s future belongs to you.
Chairman Mao Ze Dong
Let the bright shining light of Chairman Mao’s words warm the people!
Everyone is an individual and knowing more helps to guide the power of one.

Tanks and aircraft suppressed rebellions in Xinjiang in the early 90’s. The Han are favored in order to suppress power groups contrary to central authority. There are problems of immigrant workers in every city with the new changes. I have no idea if these problems are even being addressed in any other way but forceful suppression.
Apparently many people are more equal that others - someone changed the rules on the barnyard wall again.
Looking at discarded receipts in supermarkets in Beijing - people spending much more in a single self-indulgent shopping junket than most people earn in a month in the interior. The class differences are staggering.
In Guangzhou, I saw a man lose is cart with his wares -he couldn’t get of the overpass fast enough. It was thrown into the back of a big (closed) truck with many others -the way they were thrown in, being wrecked indicted it was not a shakedown and no one was getting them back again. I looked more like creating economic problems than solving them.
The vendor lost everything - his inventory and his livelihood. But he was very philosophic about it just shrugging it off in talking to his friends - or perhaps that was just a display of stoic Chinese ‘face’?
I saw that happen on a street in China town in a Western City - the local authorities were teaching the chinese immigrant farmers population a thing or two about the 'Western Values" and the monopoly system of Big Business. But it’s not the same the people not quite so forced into desperate economic turmoil with no justice or soultion only force applied to them…or is life in the West after all becoming just the same?
…
In reading HK newspapers around the same time - a jewelery vendor, I think in Kowloon, who had had everything seized burned himself alive inside or near the court as protest - everything had been taken so like the same - he had no livelihood or life left.
In Beijing they say the immigrant workers double the listed population. I saw a public shakedown with a vendor in a very crowed place. They were going to take the guys cart and goods and they(husband and wife) kept protesting they had no money. It was very eyeopening because first I believed him but eventually I realized it was brinkmanship - at the very last second just before the cart was to go on the truck - he produced a wad - a very painful decision - the police took the money and they went away.
===>
Beijing can be very well policed.
An entire Thursday Market huge -blocks and blocks - just disappeared in an instant one week- replaced by a few officers at intersections.
At the railroad station one night inside a clear areas there was an entire squad of people, men and women squatting with their hands on their heads under watchful eyes - maybe the gulag needed new workers.
Soldiers blocking an entire street for miles and miles , everyone of them standing with their backs to the street facing out ..and waiting. Silent and very eerie. Someone important was going to drive up the street - until it happened no one else would use the street, Everyone stayed away - no one came near the street or came near to watch.
Beijing is like Gaddafi’s Tripoli was.
===>
Canada, America, Columbia, why not pimp for the future colonies on Mars? For some, or many, the lives and experiences of others are nothing but fodder for various political agendas, in this case malignant nationalism - a misplaced sense of false personal empowerment or dis-empowerment.
The true True North?

I am so surprised you know about that or even are willing to acknowledge something ‘bad’? about your country. I’ve seen your other posts where you tell people to stop complaining, telling them how ‘good’ they’ve got it and literally eat cake instead of doing the obvious thing of finding solutions and changing the system. You pimp the system, a system owned by and working for only less that .5 percent of the people of the system. Incidentally, this is the same way the Chicoms indoctrinate support of their totalitarian state. You have a lot in common with them or with their engineered social product say ‘Support-Citizen-X’.
To be wired to nationalism.. is to be identified one to one with the image of a thing even at the expense of the thing itself. Something positive for the image gives a personal positive reward for the ego, something negative vise versa. It works like drug addiction. .
The nationalist once wired to nationalism cannot critically investigate the system itself - to do so is to threaten the integrity of his own ego and even threaten it’s destruction as well as deny that induced ‘good’ feeling from positively stroking the nationalism. It is so amazing that nothing at all real can happen and yet masses can be manipulated to rage or elation in this way.
You have those hockey and football games where people riot afterwards - it’s so obvious why this happens. This is the same process as the induction and indoctrination of nationalism in mass manipulation. The crowds have been artificially pumped up by their own media and socialization forces. Those forces unleash a power which they cannot control. It’s ironic that these mass media that create these mass hypnotic effects quickly condemn them afterwards as they try to distance and obfuscate their involvement in them.
The mass mind is a dangerous thing to play around with.
…
A nationalist rarely has their eyes wide open, they won’t see and can’t see that which will ruin their ego.
It is to much to explicate the topic of identity in a few paragraphs but I guess that will do for now.
===>
So how does the nationalism factor in? How do you do it? How is it possible for you to see something ‘bad’ in your system and stil get your nationalistic fix from touting the system?
You must compartmentalize somehow because if, IMO, you took critical inspection all the way, critical inspect the system, objectively and without ego attachment, you could not maintain getting your nationalist fix. I think it impossible to listen to a national narrative and maintain nationalism - to listen to the narrative of a nation actually to listen the narrative of the universal human to become Anti-Nationalist or Universalistwhereas nationalism is the opposite and require one to wear blinders to the human experience.
You would have to move on to another method of modeling society and probably find a more self-actualizing or independent way of getting positive ego encouragement.
I am perplexed, How does it work? How do yo do it? See this or any negative thing and maintain your nationalism.
===>
Identity and dis-identification is at the core of TCMA physical and philosophical practice. Traditional MA works to overcome the negative influence of culture on body and mind. I am surprised to see no discussion or even acknowledgment of it in MA peeps discussing "society’.
