What track record? Only the most powerful and wealthy nations on earth! First world countries. The U.S., Canada, Australia, Europe, even the one country that WAS run by white people in Africa - South Africa, was the wealthiest and most developed country in Africa. No coincidence.

Countries run by either mostly or all blacks? Poor third world countries. Countries whose population, some of which are risking their lives to go to the rich, white countries. Ironic isn't it?

Of course, they'll go to these white countries and then complain of racism and that the system doesn't cater to their every needs and whims and protest and demand to have control of the government - black leaders, black presidents, etc. Then proceed to run the country into the ground and then look for another better place to go to. Rinse and repeat.

First off, Africa is a large continent with various cultures that are vastly different from one another. That is what you and people like you don't understand. African descent people are not one monolithic group.

And also the are countries in Africa and "black ran" countries are that are politically stable, and they do have various levels of economic development. Anyone who thinks every country on the African continent with an exception to South Africa doesn't have any economic development clearly doesn't do any research, and yes real research (because google searches are NOT research), clearly has no clue what Africa and its history is actually like beyond doom and gloom news media, or just goes along with biased opinions of Africa and African people that are constantly regurgitated.

You win IDIOT post of the day award.

Funny thing is that the one calling someone the idiot turns out to be the idiot.

Your points are non sequitur. I didn't say African nations did not have "any economic development." No one is stupid enough to not know that. Only you would assume that. Even the poorest country on earth has some kind of economic development.

And what does having different cultures and subcultures have to do with anything we are talking about? Very few countries are completely monolithic or homogeneous. Even countries we tend to think that are homogeneous have ethnic groups. Japan have the Ainu's, China has thousands of ethnic groups. Same with Europe, the U.S., Canada, Latin America and so on. That never stopped anyone from becoming wealthy nations.

You are the one that's uninformed. It's okay though because I clearly ruffled some feathers but hey, I didn't bring up this "sensitive topic."

This isn't saying that there are no diehard conservative minorities, but one or two tokens don't make a mass movement.
This is just an anecdote so take it with a grain of salt, but I was recently at a gun show in Albuquerque, New Mexico, a city with only about 3% black population and blacks were way overrepresented. perhaps nearly 10% of the crowd. Buying, selling, and generally just chumming around with the largely Hispanic and white gun and hunting enthusiasts.

Of course in NYC you could hardly get a white person to go to a gun show, but in the country at large, there are far more conservative minorities than you think. But for reasons that may or may not seem obvious to you, I think minority conservatives are reluctant to wear their opinions on their sleeves. And I don't mean for fear of reprobation from their fellow conservative whites.

My point is that outside places like NYC, LA, and Chicago and other similar cities, in places like Kansas, Minnesota, Ohio, Texas, and pretty much the entire rural South, there are million upon millions of Black people who can be quite conservative and more like Airborne guy in attitudes than your average NYC resident.

Yes. I clearly said you generalize about places that you don't know anything about and entire groups. Your feathers were ruffled.

Whose thread is this? It's irritating to see the same person posting their opinion over and over and over and over again. Spare us the bs.

Somebody that started it and never came back to finish, and creates an 11 page thread of who has the right answer, always happens this way

Then you should applaud all the Black separatists who want to separate, if that's how you feel.

You have six billion people in the world and most of them are not trying to get into so called white countries.

Flip side is just as you have immigrants to America and Europe, Americans and Ruropeans cheaply live well in these third world countries. But you've never been to you and your knowledge is superficial at best. Due to the high cost of medical care and medications many Americans go to Mexico or Douth America for procedures and medications or order them online. Many make investments in those nations. You exaggerate the poverty and describe the third world was one homogeneous place. But that's what happens when you get all your knowledge from the news.
