YouTube - Response to Obama, 7: Liberals and the fall of Detroit maybe then you'll see why the whites moved out toa school system where their kids would get the Education to make it in the World, why is it Detroit schools are so screwed up, Cause the Teachers only care about one thing, "A PAY CHECK"
Well now that Cheeks Kilpatrick is going back to Congress, Do you think anything will ever change for the better? It ain't gonna happen with these type of Elected Officals. Real Shady I would ask for a RECOUNT. Don't Trust anyone with the name Kilpatrick.

Interesting, sort of like the squalor, disease, poverty and general pestilence that existed in Europe before their maritime exploration led them to the land, labor and resources of non white peoples in new worlds. If anything…..the races coming together was a synergy, as Europeans, except for the aristocracy, had a hellish existence before coming into contact with different peoples and lands.

Besides....Africa would not be so violent if not for the borders drawn by Europeans in the forming of nations.....with each border drawn representing a particular European interest in resources....which ignored indigenous boundaries and homelands of tribes....thus creating conflict over controling interest in these nations post its colonial masters........which is.....by the way....the reason that there is so much conflic in the Middle East.....as Europeans decided to CREATE a nation called Isreal and dump all the Jewish people, that Europeans did not want, upon an area in the Middle East and call it "Isreal", displacing thousands and causing generations of unabatted violence.

At what point is it no longer "the Europeans fault" and the responsibility of an individual. 10 years? 100 years? 1,000 years? 10,000 years? As you suggested yourself, not every white man was born with a golden spoon up their ass.

And then you have the nerve to suggest that Europeans are basically the root of all evil. Funny because all of our embassies are full of Africans trying to get into our continents, at any cost.

Question for Indentured Servant ...

Back in 1975, thousands of "Boat People" from Vietnam came to this country with nothing, and could not even speak English, but somehow, they seemed to thrive and their children are tops in education.

How is it that, this race, can achieve so much in a "Short 25-30 Years" and other races are still lagging behind and expecting entitlements, after being here for 100-150-200 years ???

[SIZE=3]Africans do better in America than do African Americans. The problem with African Americans is that they have no roots or culture as a foundation. A people have to fundamentally have a knowledge, and respect, for who they are and where they came from. African Americans largely evolved to see and treat each other in the way that white society did for centuries. This partly explains why black on black violence is so high here. [/SIZE]

I don’t use the words “fault” or “blame”. Those are emotion laden responses. Scientific understanding involves “Cause” and “Effect”. Actions create reaction which manifest as cause and effect. The one thing that any person can see, who looks at the world objectively, is that there is a lot of conflict in this world over borders and non homogenous grouping together of peoples in nations, the result of imperialism and colonialism. Who divided India and Pakistan…..resulting in violence over disputed territories? Who created Israel and hence the conflict between Arabs and Jews that plagues the Middle East? Who created Eritrea causing constant war with Ethiopia? Who created the boundaries of African nations which lead to disputes and violence over which tribe has the rights to resources? The answer to all that is European Powers.

I don’t for a minute believe that Europeans are the root of all evil…..but power corrupts. Had African been the one who had the power….it would have been the African imperialist colonizing the world and causing these reactions. Moreover, if it had been African dominating the world under the doctrine of "black supremacy", then it would be European Americans who would be the ones in America with an "entitlement" mentality after centuries of being enslaved and oppressed at the hand of black people in the new world. This thread would then be entitled "Why is the city of Detroit 80% white". Its not color that makes people behave in a certain way......rather....its POWER and or the lack of it.
