How come Blacks can't overcome what happened over 150 years ago yet other races can ?

Blacks were not the only race to have suffered slavery and it didn't just happen in the US.
In the context of the US, most other ethnic groups were able to find ways to blend in as "white", had strong family ties, or both.

Blacks obviously couldn't visibly blend in, and slave life meant that families were torn apart. The only other ethnic groups that share both these disadvantages are indigenous Native Americans. And they too are greatly struggling to this day.

That said, I absolutely do not endorse what this wackjob "professor" said. She's nuts.

Remember these "professors" are paid salaries to come up with this and are teaching our kids. It's their job.
This is one of the stupidest things I ever heard. And by the way, this comment was made by a White Women!

At least most White Fathers actually support their Family, Earn a living and are in their Children lives. Not saying that Black Fathers don't but more then half of all Black Fathers are not in their Children lives at all or are in Prison. A lot o them do not support their families

Blacks can vote today yet only a little over 1/2 turned out for the 2016 election.
Voter turnout would be much higher if the election was held on a weekend day (or made an actual holiday) rather than in the middle of the work week.

Well, it depends on how we define "white supremacy". If we define it only as people who are Hitler sympathizers and/or who push for an all-white nation, then I disagree.

If we define white-supremacy broadly as thinking more-highly of "your group" or "tribe", because most of your interactions are with "your people", and almost all of your interactions with "other people" are short-lived, and often negative. Then sure, a white nuclear-family would promote racial-prejudices.


So what? The same basic concept can apply to everything, such as religion, nationality, etc. Being raised in America will probably make you an American supremacist(IE you think America is the best country in the world). Is that a bad thing?

So in other words too many blacks can't make it unless they get more free stuff handed to them, like an entire home?

How did that work out in Rwanda?

Think about what she said a bit more - it's the same as "parents leaving their children wealth", but she just explains the position further. She is saying "leave your home (wealth) to a black person OR you are a racist".
The entire point of "not leaving your children wealth" is to give it to those you "oppressed" by owning a home in the first place - i.e. YOUR children don't deserve it, WE do. WE should decide where your "wealth" goes, not YOU or your family.

Keep in mind ...... these people really believe this. It goes right along with "You didn't build that business" i.e. - it doesn't belong to YOU, it belongs to US.

Are you aware that there is more than one day to vote ?
Are you also aware that you can mail in your vote ?

Only 7 states do not have early voting
Alabama
Connecticut
Delaware
Michigan
New Hampshire
Pennsylvania
Rhode Island

I doubt the majority of Blacks in America are clustered in those states.

Blacks were not the only race to have suffered slavery and it didn't just happen in the US.
Slavery was actually marketed by the Catholic church as something beneficial to the enslaved. It was teaching and exposing savages to culture and civility. Hence, from a mindset like that one can assume that my ancestors were probably thankful that they were enslaved and likely did not think they were treated badly.

I never witnessed the competition where all other races were brought to this country as slaves, each being enslaved by another race of people, each being equally dehumanized and robbed of their culture and esteem, to see who was able to finish ahead after nearly 400 years. When dis this happen?

Other oppressed people generally migrated away from the land of their oppression....and or become oppressors themselves, in order to lift themselves up.

That's not so much an excuse for white racists in "the west" but more of an indictment of the theory that white people are uniquely racist in this world.


You don't have to accept racism in a white-majority country, but if you want to combat it, how about you stop projecting onto "white people" and throwing around buzzwords like "white supremacy" and "white privilege"... given that "white people" have shown themselves to be the most accommodating towards minorities of all kinds in their countries.

If white supremacy was that powerful then minorities in the west would be treated the way minorities are in just about every other country where "POC" are the majority: Like voiceless and exploited pieces of garbage.

Like what happened in Liberia. And like the black homesteaders assisting in genocide and displacement of the natives and spread of old world diseases.
