I shouldn't have spell that out for you...
Would you like for me to go through and find some accomplished black citizens that have made it in America without thinking people needed to hold their hand?

What are you talking about killing deer? Do black people not hunt? Did you know wild game is better for you than store bought meat?

Spell what out...... you seem to need special attention or you feel no one cares if their not focused on blacks all month. I'm a little confused that you'd want spacial attention for being a certain color and not just enjoying the benefits of being an American if thats who you are.

I can't believe your comparing hunting to fighting innocent dogs.......hunting is not hurting the animal over and over again, making it suffer, killing it because it didn't win your stupid fight. If you find dog fighting a black culture thing, maybe, your the one who doesn't understand life and how the animal kingdom works.

Dog fighting is a crime period!!!! Do you fight dogs? Natural dog fighting is nothing compared to forced.

Also, electrocuting dogs, placing them on rape stands, drowning them, and operating an interstate gambling ring is a lot different than shooting a deer, skinning it, feeding your family venison, and keeping the population under control.
Pretty sick to think anyone would enjoy a sick thing like raping a dog. Some people make me sick!!!!

If your biggest accomplishment in life is claiming a race, then you have failed your ancestors.

I think it is funny how people are always claiming the white people accomplished this, or black people accomplished that, or the asian race did this. The people didn't do it, the individual did. I think it hilarious that the same people use this "collectivism" to justify their stupidly myopic views on other people that don't fit into their imagine "superior category.

In conclusion, if you are white you cannot claim that you created advance civilizations unless you know you actually did or at least prominent part in the continuation of civilization. Examples would be policy makers, holding a major office at the federal level AND making a positive impact. You didn't create sh*t unless you actually have. Examples would be substantial patents, major breakthroughs in technology or science. This also goes for black folks, asian folks, hispanics, and anyone else who wants some.

Maybe it's you being too foolish and lazy to figure it out. What does it have to so with so-called blacks? Stop obsessing over other people. African peoples aren't studying you.

Actually you're slightly wrong. True clinging on to race as a badge of honor is somewhat hollow. However while individuals invented this or that they did so against a backdrop of a given culture.

Presumably somewhere in Africa there was at least on guy as smart as Newton or Einstein but he would have found himself in a culture where having a high IQ wasn't stressed or more accurately there wasn't a suitable outlet for his intellectual talents thus his talent went to waste. I mean determine why apples fall from a tree isn't going to do much for you in the bush.

Culture, not race is determinant in regards to what civilizations thrive and others lag.

So you really believe certain segments are "mentally behind"? Let me ask you this. Give me one good reason for anyone to admit that, that would benefit the person "admitting" it? Considering that certain segments of society have been told throughout history that they were "mentally behind", we see it as just another form of racism. And I'm not being sarcastic.

Thank you for your input Edward. I know what your saying but giving the context of certain individuals on this thread this is just a case of clinging on to a race. As for the bush, you should know better than that.

Here is an important question: How does a culture come about(or subculture)?
