Oh yeah, you were quite quick to make sure I knew how much you doubted that story!

Too late to backtrack, you singled that particular story out for a reason. The reason why you rushed to tell me how doubtful that story was is obvious (your favorite word!).


But you cherry-pick which anecdotes where you'll say, "I doubt that..." That's OBVIOUS too! LOL!
I singled it out because it sounded like a made up story. Maybe you should try and not make up stories.

You do not get it. You have made your world into one where Black people are NEVER treated fair and anything bad/good or otherwise that happens to a Black Person only happened because they are Black.
In America.....no other race accept the Native American have endured what the African American has endured. There may have been periods in which another race or group were being treated worse.....but it did not span a 300 year period like what has been true of AA and Native Americans.

Nope

Apartheid lasted in South Africa until 1994. Yet Black South Africans in the USA do quite well. What they don't do is to subscribe to African American culture. They think it's ridiculous.

Yet again you are disproved.

American Indians ALSO had their share of ugly battles BETWEEN different tribes, even before 1492. So as a group, they ain't "clean" either.

I would say that Native Americans had it far worse than Blacks ever did and they still suffer in ways that no other demographic in the USA does. Yet despite that, they are not fighting with police, they don't burn down cities, they are shooting each other over a pair of $300 clown shoes, they aren't crying about racism. Instead they have learned to take what they have and make something of it.

Proof enough, yet again, that it is choices that determines success or failure. Nothing more, nothing less.

According to the U.S. government and those who established Western racial ideology, Middle Easterners are classified as white.

What African countries have you visited to know they are better? And in what ways are they better?

They do, but you don't notice because they are crying on their reservation over a bottle of moonshine. And the lucky ones are making beaucoup bucks from the casinos.
