Can we get one of the black folk on here to add that idea to the agenda of the next meeting of all the black folk in the country where they all decide collectively how to run their lives?
This would mean black americans would have to find some better country and immigrate there with everything already setup by another group. Black people would have to go to that country and start tapping into the grants and scholarships meant for some oppressed group that was already in that country. Blacks would have to go to that new country and side with the dominate society against that oppressed group. Blacks would have to go to that new country and use that oppressed group as their financial base by opening up little restaurants and beauty supply shops...nothing actually worthwhile or nutritious. Some blacks would have to cheat on exams as well.

Well, this isn't racist at all. Look, Asian-Americans have done well in America and have proven that minorities can succeed in our country.
Abandon their current approach (it has failed) and adopt the basics of Asian-American culture, which has proven successful.
emphasize education
two parent families
don't use drugs
great work ethic
I once made the same suggestion, but using Jews as the group to emulate. I was beaten up pretty badly for intimating that prudent values and choices impact outcomes.

the OP is the racist post. It implies that black people don't do or value any of the things listed. All i did was rattle off things Asian-American have already done. If you're going to compare groups of people under different circumstances your going to have to draw 1-to-1 parallels.

Probably because blacks are not Asian and the source of Asian culture is Asia.
Culture is learned through immersion. You learn a culture without trying. Its a natural process of emulating what is around you. Whites did not want blacks around them so blacks could not learn white culture. The white culture we did learn was ABUSE, because that is what you showed us when we were around you for most of our history in this nation.
That is what white people do not understand. We learned our culture FROM YOU. This is what you showed us and we copied. The microcosm of that is our use of the N word. We picked that up from whites.

My ex did just that. Converted. Worked as a teacher as a Jewish day school.
Funny - the police didn't seem to notice when he got pulled over routinely while driving the speed limit (on roads I, a white woman, always speed on and have never been pulled over). The police didn't seem to notice his Judaism when he was stopped for walking on the street. I've never been stopped on a walk - have you? Happened to him a half dozen times, with half of those times ending up with him in cuffs.
His worst crime is library late fines. Oh, and being Black.
"Culture" doesn't have much to do with it. I know plenty of successful Black folk. They are not immune to police brutality and being treated unfairly due to the color of their skin.
