Funny.. I am a minority, and I am in business. If I make bad business decisions, I go out of business. Who can I blame? I guess the race card only applies if you are black.

Edward, it seams that every post you start or contribute to is anti African American. Is the problems in America faced by blacks that different from your home country? Just curious if you consider the state of Black America is worst off then that of Ghana.

Do African-Americans take responsibility for any of their decisions or is every setback in life to blamed away on racism? This is becoming too much.

The OP isn't posting threads about "blacks" but about African Americans -- I think it's more a culture he's posting about more than about a race itself.

Yes -- there are those people who expect to "help my people" and get rich in the process. What better why to get rich than to "help your people" they will say. In fact they think if they do something like helping "their people" figure out investments that they deserve to get pretty rich.

Morally and culturally yes I do actually. Ghana's crime rate is far lower than the USA's which is disproportinately driven by Blacks.

Obviously on an economic basis African Americans are far wealthier than the average Ghanaian but money isn't everything.

They simply don't get that nuance, that there are Black Americans in this country who are not like them.

That Blacks have varied cultures and histories and we are not all one.
