Why only a white hate group as an example? It's always good to give two sides of a coin if available.

Guess you haven't heard Muslim Brotherhood is in America.

I didnt say it wasnt. But a lot of that money came from "racist" white people. One second he is calling for blacks to leave to Africa, the next he is talking about his Ferrari. He is just another jerk, fanning the flames.

White people didn't INVENT negro slavery but we damned sure abolished it in the u.s. at the cost of 600,000 lives...but negroes never say "thank you".

Slavery has never been solely about race.
The weakest, stupidest were the ones who got captured and sold to the slave traders to export...slavery thrives in parts of africa today...you hate slavery?
Flights leave daily for africa..why don't you hop on over there and straighten them out?
Slavery was about race in the United States and throughout the Americas. It was based upon a racial caste system. So was what we refer to as Jim Crow in the United States.

The Civil War that was fought in the United States over slavery and the issues over whether to expanded it westward were not played out in Brazil when slavery was decreed to be abolished in that nation by act of law.

My point here is that race mattered enough in the United States that the nation went to Civil War over it.

Also, a lot of black people sold by Africans as to whites in Africa, were taken prisoner after their villages were raided by rival black tribes. Some were abducted while away from their villages but rarely was it a white man doing the abducting. Whites usually couldn't handle the climate and environment of West Africa well.

Yet many blacks don't feel this way.......and many non-blacks have no problem, it's more of a personal issue. The hate goes many ways for all!

The war between the states was NOT fought to "free the slaves"... Get serious.

Lincoln couldn't have cared less about slavery either way.

Without the Indians and Blacks contributions, America would be pretty much nothing.
Nah, not really. The thing about slavery is that it was a very inefficient economic system- it didn't really "build" anything except for the personal wealth of a very small aristocratic slave owning class. They just put their profits back into their plantations. It was an extremely agrarian, limited system with very little internal innovation. It'd part of the reason that during the war the South couldn't hope to compete with the industrial capacity of the immigrant-attracting North, which is where the wealth of this country was largely built in the 19th and and first half of the 20th century.

No one said the war was fought to free the slaves. The war was fought because United States of America military assets were assaulted and occupied on April 12, 1861 at Fort Sumpter. However, the issue which did the most to incentivize this attack was the conflict between those who wanted to stop the spread of slavery to new states and territories and those who wanted it to continue.

Slavery would have died out anyway. The leaders of the confederacy knew it.

The industrial revolution was just around the corner and no one would want to keep 50 high maintenance farm animals that had to be fed and housed when machines could do the work of the same 50 slaves in much less time with less overhead.

LOL The comments from "celebs" just get dumber and dumber. I guess this dope doesnt know much about Africa today. But please, take your own advice and move. And leave behind all the money youve made from white people/Americans. We'll see how long you last.

I guess he forgot about where the slavery of blacks started as well.

They still haven't figured out electricity, running water or agriculture in all parts of africa... There are undoubtedly differences between the races other than "skin color"...
Why, Gunther, did you "figure out electricity" and are you responsible for developing the systems that transport clean drinking water into every house in the United States?

You're unaware that there were impoverished Baby Boomers in various small, rural, Southern towns that lived in homes without running water and electricity?

By the way... there are Europeans that make wise cracks about the United States having a lot of impoverished white people living in trailer homes. And they're not talking about those new and nice looking trailer homes.

Continental Africa does have poor infrastructure next to Europe and developed nations outside of Europe. The Chinese are assisting a number of African nations with that.

While my German ancestors were barbarians over 2,000 years ago, by some point they became a cultured and intellectually admirable people compared to non-Germanic nations.

If it were up to me a lot of the tribes living primitive in Africa, Asia, and the Amazon would be brought into modernity. Not that they need give up all their ways or necessarily adopt Western style architecture. But every child would be required to attend school and basic hygiene would be promoted and medicine and medical care made accessible.

But there are a lot of Western liberals that prefer these people remain behind and uneducated so they (Western liberals) can take tours seeing them and photographing them like they're zoo animals.

But I'm a hazard a guess from some of you're posts that your own education is rather limited. If you do have advanced levels of education I'm going to hazard the guess it's in areas like business and not in social or natural sciences.
