Tribal Africans still shun science. Look at how their view modern medicine in regards to HIV/AIDS and ebola treatment. They still believe in witchcraft level cures.
The biggest problem with black slavery was that at the time, tribal Africans were still living in the Stone Age without a written language. Of course, the Europeans didn't treat them like peers. But the Europeans were just as demeaning to other civilizations they encountered and interacted with, such as those in India, Asia and the Americas.
Ideally for the Africans, the ideal circumstance would be their continent just stay out of reach of visitors from other continents so they could live and evolve further in peace. However, there still would have been conflicts with warring African tribes and genocides like there are still going on today. North American natives would still be doing their tribal nomadic lifestyle also and warring with opposing Native tribes.
Poor American blacks need to stop griping about their slave past and work hard to live like whites just as Uncle Toms Obama and his wife. Or go back to Africa and live tribally like their ancestors. Urban ghetto culture life is just not a good way to live.
Some years of my "youth", the house I lived in didn't have a bathroom, running water, or electricity.
It never made me a victim, though. Those were the best years of my life.
I think youre missing the point...I too love the simplicity of nature...I dislike technology..Give me a cabin in the woods any day over a mansion.
This is not about simplicity of living, this is about racial oppression...I would love to live in a cabin in the woods..while having the choice of a mansion but CHOOSING the cabin...However when someone comes, kidnaps me, beats me, kills my family, then tells me I MUST live in this dirt cabin in the woods because I am a devil monkey, well, that is something entirely different...I guarantee you, those wouldnt still be the best days of your life....guarantee that...
My thoughts exactly. Couldn't even get through the first paragraph.
Maybe thats your problem..You fail to even listen to the black mans plight..it bores you..you couldnt listen to the first sentence of the black mans plight so how could anyone expect you to sympathize when it comes to voting to assist them?
This thread is basically saying everyone is accountable for their own actions, however it is not always so clear cut, especially when disease and mental illness plays apart..Where is the equal sympathy?
blaming the white ancestry in today society at today is not an answers for results, its an answer for revenge . its a you owe many symplex . Today black community is no worth that the white community of the eighties, they nobody today born in slavery, they very few that was alive during jim crows days. I myself have lived in the south since 1961. I have never seen a white only water foundation or cannot eat here. I have been ran out of a black restaurant within the last two years. But what they are complaining about today just doesn't exist.
The problems with the black community in the last forty years have been brought on by the black community themselves.
The actions of those who do these things... Were made by those who made their choices.
They, and they alone, made choices.
If you're going to blame anyone - blame whoever told them they have no hope. Blame whoever told them they can't succeed because of their race / neighboorhood / skin color / whatever. Blame those who have enabled the self-destructive culture they live in and are indoctrinated in to survive generation after generation.
You act as if all blacks are illegitimate, ghetto, gangsters, drug users, or criminals....[MOD CUT/personal attack]
The fact of the matter is there are blacks who try their hardest to overcome their poverty....they never succeed due to the history that was predestined for them before they were even born.
You take a lion out the jungles of Africa, put him in a cage in the zoo, then 5 years later you then set him free in the forests of America...then blame him when he cannot find his footing on common soil? Then you tell that lion that you have given him an equal opportunity just like all the other American animals...Yet there is few lions of his own kind in this new habitat of America, he feels foreign, experiences constant speciesim and discrimination, he feels alienated from the race of his lineage in Africa, and he feels endangered...Then you call that lion an idiot because he cannot make it in a land he was never designed to live in...
Honestly, I'm working towards what's right for all humans. I couldn't give two squats about being American. Nationalism is this world's biggest problem.
Soooooo..Whites are not accountable for 0% of the issues facing blacks in America? How about the fact that they were bought to live as slaves and giving no chance of a head start to a country they never asked to be in in the first place? Whose fault is that...blacks fault?
Not one soul alive today has ANY bearing on slavery in America.
How about you tell the victims of Hiroshima that they are to blame for being Japanese....and their kids born of disease, and their environment never fully recovering...Its not Americas fault, its the Japanese fault because they shouldnt have fucccxxed with Ammerica right???
Stupid Japanese children that inherited disaster from wars of their fathers...its all their fault for being born into that situation...
What did blacks inherit? Poverty....for one....we inherited poverty just as the Japanese inherited. disaster..Some areas of Hiroshima recovered while some did not despite how much they tried not to blame America. The same with blacks..Some overcame their poverty while others did not...But its their fault they were born descendents of slaves, the impoverished and third class citizens right?
Wow, what nonsense.
It's like your thoughts are limited to only race and hate.
Maybe thats your problem..You fail to even listen to the black mans plight..it bores you..you couldnt listen to the first sentence of the black mans plight so how could anyone expect you to sympathize when it comes to voting to assist them?
It absolutely bores me, but I don't see that as a problem.
