OMG. You just broke the internet. That is one of the most stunningly racist statements I've ever heard. Black men are the "biggest, baddest, meanest man on earth"? Holy crap. I'm speechless. Also, we are "breeding" Black men? WTH?


Methinks you watch too much TV.

James Pemberton was Jefferson Davis's body guard and Slave. Many plantations used slaves as slave drivers. Not only would they coerce other slaves to work but they could beat them too. Would you trust a docile slave to guard you? Would you trust a docile subservient slave to force dozens or hundreds of other slaves to work 16 hours in the sun. Would you trust a docile and subservient slave to give another slave 30 lashes?

It's like 10 and then we want to burn the entire country and all our foundations to the ground.

The actual number is 27.

Also...

The actual figure is around 25%.

And of the approximately 3,000 blacks murdered every year in the U.S. in one-perpetrator, one-victim situations, about 88% to 90% have their lives taken by... other blacks.

But Black Lives Matter doesn't give a crap about this, and leftists routinely ignore this, just as they brush aside any inconvenient truth which would derail their agendas and narratives.

The left is shameless, hypocritical, dishonest, and morally degenerate.

Just because someone picks a tough bodyguard or overseer doesn't mean they bred them and to fight authority. How is an overseer suppose to control a bunch of people purposely bred to be as tough as him?

He was tougher , smarter, and the most likely slave to start a revolt so that slave was rewarded by directing his abilities to keep the plantation operational. This is old scholarship some one wrote a doctoral dissertation on it in the 70's. Most of this is from primary sources. The driver's son usually was in line for the job. So yes they were bred.

Why? Are they ALL irresponsible, reckless, and wild? Of course not, but statistics tell us that percentage of such young people is high compared to other groups.

My point again: a person or group of people who more often commit criminal, respectively, more often encounter the police.

Sorry, but statistics or you suspicions do not justify assuming all black folks are criminals and treating them as such. We are all to be treated as individuals. Why is that so hard for some folks to understand?
