The blacks in America that are prosperous are that way because they have adopted white culture. European western thought and ideologies have created the modern world for the most part that we live in. Oriental and Mediterranean/middle eastern culture also sparked knowledge before the renaissance happened in Europe. The only African culture that really ever developed was Egyptian, and what used to be Catharage. The dark skinned broad nosed Africans were viewed as uneducated, and only good for physical labor as were the native American Indians by the Europeans of the past, and the middle eastern cultures. Why blame our ancestors for your ancestors down falls. The Africans were tribal in culture, and had not progressed beyond that. The same went for the Indians in America. If the Africans would of been more advanced slavery would of never happened to them in the first place. The world has grown past the need for slavery, but Africa is still in turmoil, and the whites are still being blamed for all their problems. I say shame on the blacks for not changing their ways, and always blaming others for their problems. There are way more blacks in Americans prisons than whites, but way fewer blacks in the country as a whole. There are many highly educated blacks in America, but the majority of blacks are still under educated. This is a free country, and education is only guaranteed until the age of 16 in the USA. Obama is more white than black in my opinion. Only his skin color is dark(which is very light), but everything else about him is white. The way he speaks, his facial features and physique. Do you think if he acted like a rapper he would of ever become President of this country. Although afro Americas act like he is more of a black man than a white man. Most afro Americans don't want to think of him as a white man. Hate to tell you, but Obama is white as they come!!!!!!!!!!
Paragraphs would be helpful. Can you please explain the difference between Afro American and black because you seem to use them interchangeably, but I'm assuming since you are using Afro American you must consider there to be a difference. I didn't know that there was a white "physique" can you elaborate on that?

Actually I date a Persian woman. Would say I am not a bigot. Although I do find from dating a Persian that most Persian have a strong distaste for Africans. Africans are probably one of the most looked down upon races on the planet by all the other races. I wonder why that is. My grandmother started the civil right movement in a south Georgia county back in 1963, and I was raised a catholic. We had all races in our church, but the southern Baptist are about the most racists as they come. My neighbors church would not even let blacks in. My father is a retired professor of biology, and I have a master in Economics. I am so sick of the black people calling white people racist. I have many black educated friends, and the bulk of the black population embarrasses them.

Shoving a stick into a persian woman or any other than white does not excuse you from your bigotory thoughts. I know of a white man whois married to a mediterainian lady and yet calls Blacks the "N" word and call Chinese people "Ch!nks". your point??

So by your logic, if theres a civilisation that are less technically advance, it gives another civilistion the right to conquer those people? Do you even know what RESPECT means?? And you came from what church?? Was it a klan member for a priest??

Am I supposed to feel priviledge because my skin tone has very minimal pigmentation? Give me a freakin' break!

Sound like you are a black person my educated black friends would be embarrassed of!!!!!!!!!!! America would not be free if it were not for our military might. Nuclear weapons keep us a feared country around the world, and a respected country. Our technological military advange over the rest of the world keeps our country dominant. Not our respect. White people founded the America that is now, and control it. They allow the black people, and other races to be equals because we know it is right, not because we have to.

Do you think you would be less descriminated in an exclusively white neighbourhood, even with observable disability?

Now if you read two or so post above and see Narcissus23 post, He says that the reason less civilised nations such as the native Indians and Africans got conquered was their lack of advancement, rendering them weak and easy to conquer by the whites. And so because of your disability, do you think you would be treated any better by your own kind?? According to Narcissus23, not so.

Let me ask you this, do you hold any hope in how those Blacks and Hispanics would change how they feel about you because of your pale complexion??

Honestly, I do wonder why some civilizations are so much more advanced than others. It is mind boggling how some are still in the "stone age", as compared to other more advanced civilizations. I wonder why that is? Any ideas? I vaugely remember a program I saw some years back, linking climates & advanced civilizations...?

If not racism, there will be some kind of "ism". Human nature will always be the same. People always look at other people who are different from them. Some like the contrast, some hate the contrast. That's human nature, too. Everybody's mixed, to the bright guy who commented on the races being mixed in another 100 years. All races came from the San tribe in Africa, otherwise known as the Bushmen with the big buttocks, yellow brown skin and slanting eyes. Go read National Geographic's DNA research. It's quite interesting. It tooks many moons for the races as we know them to evolve. The only thing that didn't evolve was human nature. Some people in your neighborhood are probably sleeping with their sisters. And they don't even have to live in West Virginia. Anyway, racism is tiresome, but something for adults to be aware of as they bring up their children.

If all races on earth came from the San tribe in Africa, why are so many so advanced,while the tribe remains so UNadvanced?
