I've been hearing version of this for a little while now, not sure if there is all that much truth to it, but anything is possible, I suppose.

It also applies to the Native Americans, they are a broken down people that weren't really able to fully overcome the collective hardships placed on them.

Black folks have faired much better and are doing much better overall than the Native peoples. I think that there is a fair amount of baggage that a lot of black folks "collectively" carry. Colorism, and other forms of "enslavement" still appear to be haunting some black people still. I think trauma just may be passed down, not sure if it's genetic, but there may be something to this, IDK.

Don't need evidence. It's what happens. Liberals created the dependent voter block.

That would also mean, that black people are genetically programmed to be slaves to others.

I ain't buying that.

OTOH: many other cultures that have been beaten, almost killed off and so on keep bouncing back, like Jews. "Something" in Jewish people helps them come back for disasters that would've wiped out many other groups of people.

It's also interesting that they ignore the fact that there
are more slaves today than at any time in history.

True, something in them has allowed them to keep going. IDK, hard to nail down things down exactly, maybe with the Native American people the way of life wasn't able to be followed, maybe that was part of it, black slaves were able to integrate better and advance as time went, it's like for the native peoples something didn't click. The Jews have historically been trodden upon, or at least hated, then of course Hitler's attempt to decimate them.


This is semi-fascinating in a way, I've never really paid much attention to this stuff in the big picture, but curious how a sociologist would break this stuff down

The Dutch were largely responsible for the slave trade, at least in regard to African slaves 400 or 500 yrs ago, past that I'm not sure about.

Great, a comparison of the history of the Jews to the history of American Blacks.: smack:

This is like comparing apples with oranges. You cannot why the groups are different, that is astounding!

Uh; SOME American Black people have been able to rise OUT of the ghetto and do well, maybe copying and pasting in a "get it done" culture like what most Jews follow while trashing the hood rat life is the way to roll?
