Edward A,,I have to ask YOU.

Whites are uncomfortable with the physical look of the black race.
A very dark skinned woman who wears her natural hair and is named Nzinga doesn't get job opportunities at all,and whites look at her like she is disgusting. Why?


To be honest,I think whites don't like the way blacks look from a physical standpoint,but NO One points it out.
It has nothing to do with education,talking styles,etc.

Please stop with all these generalizations. There are white folks out there that think Black is Beautiful too. I know that many White folks tend to generalize about Black folks too often, but turning around and doing the same helps no one.

The EARTH - The WHOLE 196,940,000 square miles of earth, of which 57,255,000 square miles is land and 139,685,000 square miles is water, weighing 6 sextillion tons, travelling at a of speed 10371/3 miles per hour - All of it, EVERY last bit of it, BELONGS to black people.

So why you keep prattling on about certain bits of the earth belonging to white people is beyond me.

GOD NEVER GAVE THE WHITE RACE ANY EARTH

The original template for all human beings was the black man. Everybody comes from Black people.

In having been on the planet for 3.5 million years or longer whites. What is it that you think we haven't done or experienced that isn't encoded in our DNA ? How did white people suddenly make it when just 500 years ago they still thought the world was flat while our people were doing cataract eye surgery in Timbuktu ?

I don't speak for everyone, but when a black guy murders someone, he is a murderer, simple as that.
Speaking in generalities, like so many do, doesn't move the discussion forward. Calling ALL people this or that is just ignorant.
Blacks kill, rob, rape and maim at far higher rates than the national average. While all Blacks don't do these things, quite a few do. Those that do extract an enormous social, personal and financial cost to society. Discussing Black criminality along these terms is fair game IMHO.

When gangs of African- American youth are beating up and robbing people in various cities that indicates a breakdown in culture. This is also fair game. If the African- Americans posters on here are miffed so be it, they should grow thicker skin. I fail to see how talking about these issues imply that Whites are perfect but that's African American logic for you. Everything to them revolves around Whites there whole being is predicated on what White people think. It's sick.

Sorry,I'm not generalizing. I do think some ARE uncomfortable with the physical look,esp someone from let's say,the south, where they talk about nappy hair and refer to a darker skinned black as a spook. It has nothing to do with education level or clothes or all that other mess people come up with to try to justify stereotypes.
Remember some while back they did a study with resumes and the ones with a black sounding name were rejected 75% of the time? I think a black sounding name conjures up a ghetto person,the same the name Nasheed may conjure up a terrorist.

Now someone in Montana who has never seen a black person up front gets a pass for their ignorance.

I do find the recent immigrant groups tend to be racist toward blacks because of the physical looks . They have to be taught this is America and you can't discriminate because someone has dark skin or is poor.

Whites have committed evils on a scale way beyond those of blacks. Because whites over the past 500 years have had vastly more power than blacks. It is not even close.

Take murder, for example. In 2010, according to the FBI, blacks in America killed 245 more whites than whites killed blacks. If you extend that back to the day the slaves were freed, that comes to something like 36,000 murdered white people.

But that is just street crime.

What about all the blacks who died in the slave trade ?

What about all the blacks who were worked to death on purpose? That comes to 27.3 million dead black people.

The African Diaspora (of which Americans are a fourth) will need more than 25,000 years of street crimes just to catch up.

Maybe if we throw in black genocides against whites that will help to speed things up – except that there have been none.

At least none that have killed over a million whites. The same goes for whites who died because of the black slave trade. Or who were worked to death by black slave owners. And so on.

If we made a fig leaf that was 1/25,000th the width of the human body it would not even be as wide as a hair.

Well,Africans kill at far higher rates than White Europeans,so its just the race.

Compare Africa vs Europe. There you go.

You are fortunate that Black Americans fought, died and paved the way for the civil rights which enabled your mother to come here and anchor you to America. Otherwise this could have been your future:

Five Ghanaians commit suicide daily

Per the data, an average of five out of every 10 people die every day in Ghana and this could even be worse should families or victims be bold enough to give information about some deaths that have been covered up and blamed on “illness”.

The Globe’s checks indicate that the most dominant method being used in the southern sector was by hanging and poisoning while in the northern sector it was by fire arm and hanging.

According to the statistics, the highest number of cases recorded was between the ages of 20 to 35 years which recorded a total of 702 and the outstanding reason for them committing suicide has been attributed to love relationship problems, poverty amongst others.

The next category is people between the ages of nine to 19 years which recorded 531 deaths. The dominant cause of their death ranged between problems with parents, failure at school, inability of parents to provide their needs, love relationship problems amongst others.

The third category ranges from 36 years upwards and that recorded about 323 deaths. The foremost reason for this category of people is impotence and poverty.

The staggering statistics further revealed that within the year more men committed suicide than women. 1, 129 men took their lives as against 427 women.

So you're only concerned with interracial atrocities very telling. The slave trade predates and lasted well after Europeans. Also slavery in the West is the only time in Human history where it ended not via revolution but willingly. Slavery still goes on in Africa and the Middle East.

You're comparing sheer numbers another fallacy since Blacks have historically numbered anywhere between 10-12% of the population. The fact that the numbers are even close would suggest a level of depravity unmatched by whites in terms of US violence. More Blacks are killed every year by other Blacks then were lynched from the Civil War to 2012.

Man's inhumanity to man is not exclusive to Whites and frankly if it wasn't for the Judeo-Christian tradition Whites chose to follow it would be far worse.

Take this Syrian debacle, only the West is speaking of intervening to stop the death of the innocents. Where are the Africans, Arabs or Chinese? Nowhere because they don't care. The West is willing to arm people that hate them in order to stop innocent people from dying.

At the end of the day slavery was ended by Whites, the Holocaust was ended by Whites.

According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, between 1976 and 2011, there were 279,384 black murder victims. Using the 94 percent figure means 262,621 were murdered by other blacks. Though blacks are 13 percent of the nation’s population, they account for more than 50 percent of homicide victims.

Nationally, black homicide victimization rate is six times that of whites, and in some cities, it’s 22 times that of whites.

Coupled with being most of the nation’s homicide victims, blacks are most of the victims of violent personal crimes, such as assault and robbery.

The magnitude of this tragic mayhem can be viewed in another light. According to a Tuskegee Institute study, between the years 1882 and 1968, 3,446 blacks were lynched at the hands of whites. Black fatalities during the Korean War (3,075), Vietnam War (7,243) and all wars since 1980 (8,197) come to 18,515, a number that pales in comparison with black loss of life at home.

I'm thankful to my parents not to a group of people too dense to take advantage of opportunities that are theirs by right and birth.
