re: Swiss Investor Marc Faber: America would be like Zimbabwe if blacks were the majority

Part of the problem is that the right-wing doesn't really value education and if we had a much better educational system you would have higher efficacy towards society and in the black community.

WUT ????

Name one place in America where this is true.

I don't think I've ever seen a more delusional statement

what they feel is guilt towards that feeling and then blame liberals for preaching to them that they can't be that way. Then liberals are the racist ones blah blah etc.

You are really pissing into the wind this morning - hope you get all cleaned up and feel better later on.

I suppose you are among that great swath of scum who believe that facts are racist. You cannot deal with facts.

You are forever seeking that ubiquitous 'conversation' where all facts can be ignored and nothing but instructed grievance has merit.

Since the start of the thread was about how black people basically on their own couldn't possibly Prosper or create any sort of civilized society I would say the Timbuktu thing completely destroys that point

Do you think that Arab and Black are the same?

Are you saying that Timbuktu University was founded by black ancestors of the current day slave progeny in America?

Are you not the least bit curious as to whether or not the Arabs started the University?

Do you even know whether or not any typically 'black' people representative of the modern black population in America were even in attendence at this first University?

Just because something happened in Africa doesn't mean that it involved 'blacks.'

Do you think the ancient Eqyptians were black? You know, the ones who built the pyramids and temples? Were they 'black' or 'semitic'?

I have always been under the impression that people from the African Mediterranean region were as much different from sub-saharan Africans as NFL centers are different from WRs.

Idiot

Most of them are definitely insinuating that is the black community that is inferior and has inferior DNA.

The black culture = which is an entirely VOLUNTARY behavior - is the cause of ALL the problems of the black community in America, especially in the 21st century.

My ancestors were just as poor as a typical black man during the reconstruction era. They worked alongside blacks as share-croppers.

Nobody in my lineage had more than a 3rd grade education until my older brother graduated high school in 1945. He and my sister and I went on to graduate college - all self financed.

at the end of the day they would have to blame white people for the plight of black people

Blacks in America have been given a raw deal - but at the same time they have, as a group, been given the greatest blessing known to mankind. If there had been no slavery in America, those slaves would have been condemned to lives in sub-saharan Africa. They would have been happier there, but their descendants have far greater blessings in current day America than they would have ever had in Africa, the success of Timbuktu U notwithstanding.

I have often thought that if I were black, I would have thanked God for the fact that my ancestors had survived the evil of slavery to give me this chance for unlimited potential in the greatest nation in the history of the world.

My ancestors were driven out of Scotland by the highland clearances, and they came to America with absolutely nothing, settling in the wilds of North Carolina and scratching out a living from the soil. They never had enough money to purchase a slave. But they did give their progeny a chance at a new life with unlimited horizons. They suffered, but I thrived - I thank God every day for them.

But you - you who have the greatest opportunity in the history of the world - can only say to modern day white people = "you have to coddle us because some white people 500-200 years ago owned slaves. You have to watch us sit on our asses and complain you don't give us enough free shite to keep us in our daily allowances of dope, purple drank, 24" rims, gold bling, tattoos, and $300 tennis shoes."

I say - screw you. Until you try to clean up the cultural rot you are wiling to swim in, I have stopped caring what happens to you. I once had sympathy - but it has turned into revulsion over the past 30 years.

considering where we are and our economic power, its not unreasonable to say that our keeping the embargo years longer than necessary directly sentenced Cuba economically to operate far below her potential.

And for what? They don't hate us and we don't hate them
