To show you that a certain percentage of what goes on online about white guys bitching about race has nothing at all to do with them being pissed off with black guys having sex with white women, but rather, multiculturalism being crammed down their throats.
We may be going in circles at this point. We are talking about two different things here. Excelsior made the point that any post that touches on the topic of white women with black men strikes a raw nerve like few topics can. I agreed with this and defend his statement. I've seen this time and time again on the manosphere. I remember when Heartiste made a post about Justin Wayne that showed him macking on some white chic and in the comments it basically turned into stormfront. This had nothing to do with advocating multiculturalism or mass immigration. It was a visceral reaction of angry white males who didn't like what they saw. I said nothing about advocating multiculturalism or mass immigration, so I don't know why those views are being foisted upon me.
Sure. You're right. Yet maybe you're extrapolating from a self-selecting group within a self-selecting group. The large majority of people who don't give a toss about the issue probably won't even be at the site to begin with. Then, even within those who are there, there are probably a lot of people who don't feel very passionate about the issue and don't comment, or who feel intimidated by what they see as the group think going on. This then creates a feedback loop whereby the comments become increasingly extreme. I posit that it's very difficult for any website to retain a diverse range of opinions over time.
Then, of course, there's the fact that a lot of people end up with the "my enemy's enemy is my friend" syndrome and tolerate certain things because they feel as though they've both been disenfranchised.
I am simply saying that not every angry white guy in the manosphere feels a burning rage for blacks (or anyone else) as individuals, or even collectively as a race. In my opinion, the real issue is to do with class and culture, rather than race. That's one of the reasons why I can think what I think below.

Hence, why Samseau can hold what you seemingly find a contradictory position to his own identity. Hence why I can be a minority in the country in which I live, but neither expect, nor want, mass immigration here nor my own culture to be crammed down the throat of the locals. I think why you're getting so much flak in this thread is because you're having trouble seeing a range of nuanced positions that either exist between, or even outside, the regularly constructed dichotomy of pro-Benetton world family at one end and Aryan Nation at the other.
Well you're entitled to whatever beliefs you want. But you must live in a world of cognitive dissonance when you feel it's okay for you to immigrate, so long as others that look like you don't do the same thing you're doing.
No, of course not, for several reasons. Firstly, obviously, the first person to arrive in a place wants to keep what he has. This is not peculiar to this situation. If I go to the beach, I might be cool with ten other people at the beach, but not ten thousand.
Secondly, at a more fundamental level, if I wanted to live in a little Australian ghetto, then I'd go and live in a small town in the outback, or even many of the suburbs of the major cities. The real cognitive dissonance would be me leaving those things and then insisting that such things be recreated in my new home.
There are a whole lot of expats who are living in [insert non-/semi-Western country] because they feel their country of origin has gone to crap (even if they're not consciously aware of, or willing to admit it, or attribute it to other things), be it because the women are fat and nasty, the government taxes and regulates the crap out of them, the education system sucks, crime is rampant, etc., who then complain how the new country doesn't have more of the same nonsense they wanted to escape in the old country. You can never satisfy these people, because their progressivism is actually the most narrow-minded religious zeal in the world, perhaps matched only by Jihadists in its intolerance and deleterious effects, which is why I don't want masses of them around me. Even if they can't vote, once they get to 10-20% of the population, they inevitably end up wielding economic power, and so vote indirectly anyway, plus they get their claws into the local media, education system, etc. and influence the locals who want bragging rights for being "cosmopolitan". These people simultaneously talk about the "authenticity" of Culture X, how chilled out it is, etc., but then want to flood it with more of the same feminism, big nanny state politics and so on that have made their home countries awful. Seriously, get on any expat forum (I thought it was just Taiwan, but I spent time on such sites for other countries too a while back, and they were eerily similar). I used to complain, too, but now I complain a lot less. That doesn't mean that things don't still piss me off, but I just realise that to a large extent, you take the good with the bad. Every time I'm driving my car and someone does something crazy, I have to tell myself that if I were in Melbourne, I'd do 4km/h over the speed limit or walk my dog without a leash, and some government goon would jump out of the bushes and yell "Gotcha!" and slap me with a hundred dollar fine.
What pisses me off about this is that these clowns will be the same people who will get what they want inevitably, and they will fuck up Taiwan and turn it into Toronto II in twenty years. Then they'll be complaining about how Taiwan has gone to shit. Leave it alone now then! Yet they, and their progressive mind virus, can't leave it alone. There's never a happy median for them, because there always needs to be "progress". That's why I don't want masses of them around me anymore than I want a bunch of Pakistani mullahs calling for Sharia Law. Unfortunately, as far and as hard as I run from these tools, they seem to follow me!
