I guess we're all supposed to pretend that we'd be some advanced space man civilization.

Wrote it in a financial/business newsletter like it was nothing.
Is he wrong? Is there a mass exodus of third world peoples to countries that are not the US, EU, Australia/NZ?

Go ahead and move there.
And?

I've been to both places. I'll take St. Lucia. Beautiful, serene and simple living. Plus, it has a sweet, alluring culture. Switzerland is beautiful too but not for me.

Frankly much of Europe has too much terrorism and a major reason being that they couldn't leave other people alone. In the Caribbean, people of various religious persuasions have learned to live together with respect for each other. There are other issues but far less of those issues.

If you wanna talk civilization, talk about it all.

The Germans are easily the most technically advanced nation in Europe. Probably pretty close the most culturally advanced too, for what it’s worth.

They also tried to wipe two ethnic groups off the face of the Earth.

Mr Faber is an ethnic German. Funny how he left that out, but maybe it was too “PC.”
And the Africans are trying to genicide each other every day, chop the arms off children and dump garbage on the ground if you want to split hairs.

I’ll take Germans 7 days a week and twice on Sunday.

What have Africans contributed to this world that compares? You have no right to even talk about Germans they are so ahead of you.

Too bad we can't celebrate black people's controbution to the country even if it was under slavery. Black prople helped build this coutry. Instead it's PC to white shame to make up for it.

Why do we need to celebrate their accomplishments separate from and other group in America?

So did a lot of prisoners but like the slaves, they only provided labor, not brains.

I don’t agree with this because everyone had their role in building America. I believe Africans have played a great part but no greater than any other group. I don’t understand this thing where the white man has to be ripped apart to somehow make the Africans look better. Total BS. People are people.

Yes, but many of them are not citizens just work there.

Africa has a population 4 times the USA but the USA GDP is 9 times higher than the continent of Africa...let me guess, they're stopped from advancing due to colonialism.
