What if the Refugees Were Blonde and Blue-Eyed Swedes?
¡No Pasarán! ^ | October 1, 2015 | Erik (only name given)

Shall we try to figure out what the refugee story is all about?

Specifically, if it has anything to do with Europeans', or Westerners' racism?

In that perspective, let us imagine that the refugees are not Syrians but Swedes — blonde, blue-eyed souls with fellow European and Christian roots.

Wouldn't that prove that the animosity towards the mainly Arab and/or Muslim refugees is all about racism?

Be honest, dude: Wouldn't I be eager to help if the refugees turned out to be of fellow Scandinavian stock?

Refugees from various wars:

WWI

WWII

Korean War

Vietnam

Mostly women, children and the elderly displaced by war, unable to fight and fleeing to safety while their able bodied young men (often) are absent, either dead or fighting. Now let's look at the Syrian refugees.

Hmmmmm. Something seems different....

<>I apologize for the wrongs of my people. Particularly the depressing literature. LOL!

(p.s., I hope the great harmonies of ABBA make up for it!)

Abba was top of the list of the wrongs of your people. I think you need to try that apology again.

Analogy: This whole story is like those evil Newfoundlanders annually clubbing those cute little baby seals to death in order to cull the herds that over-populate and destroy the fishery.

Answer: yes, the Newfoundlanders club those cute seals to cull the herds, even though they are so damned cute.

Conclusion: The New World Order crowd also wants to "cull the herd" by killing 3/4 of the human population because they are over-populating and destroying the earth. Is this idea humane, or just murder?

I was going to mention their extreme socialism- but the Scandinavian countries seem happy to be so oppressed.

Yes, it turned out to be a good article.

I do usually read articles before posting, to avoid looking foolish, but I was annoyed at being called racist so didn’t want to read more from this author.

He did a good job demonstrating that it is not racist, nor is taking in refugees the answer. Using a neutral country, meaning one we have no negative connotations about plus hasn’t been in the news much, as an example was a good method.

Sorry for jumping the gun, Larry.

They’d probably be well-behaved.

Good, very good.

Congratulations, Europeans!

They have to be reminded that they were in the streets by their hundreds of thousands protesting Ronald Reagan and his installation of missiles in Europe. They have to be reminded of his alliance with Maggie Thatcher in the Pope to bring down the Soviet Union. They look at you with astonishment when you cite with approval Reagan’s strategy about the Cold War, “we win, they lose.”

You are so right... I was a student, 18, on a semester in Europe. The Germans HATED Ronald Reagan... All Europeans did.

Because he was the best of America in one unapologetic, larger-than-life leader. And deep down, they do hate America.

False equivalency is not only logically unsound, it will be the death of us.

I think commenting without reading will be.

They’d be rejected

We sure never opened our doors to the millions of white South Africans and Rhodesians and Namibians and Mozambiquis etc....when they really needed it

Their diaspora went to Commonwealth nations more than here

Whites as a percentage in South Africa is half what it was in 1993

It was difficult for them to get here

Only whites we made it easy for since 60s are Cuban rafters and russian Jews that I can recall

And Contra families maybe

“What if the Refugees Were Blonde and Blue-Eyed Swedes?”

Instead of, say, savages from a culture that treat their goats better than their women and believe stoning and head-chopping are necessary for women and children whose deeds in Western society aren’t even against the law?
