Assertion: Black people have it better right now, in 2017, in the USA than black people have ever had it, in any country, in any part of the world, at any time.

Quality of life measures: Economics, security, health care, education, etc.

If you disagree, please provide the time and place you feel black people had it better.

How do black people in Canada have it worse than here? Germany? UK? France? Italy?

Stop trying to justify your racism.

Absolutely true. And I'd go as far to say that the only things holding black people down are their own activists and democrat politicians. Look how the Gravy Bunch talk about that guy on WAFB.

The four European countries you mentioned are much more racist against blacks than Americans are, in general. Italy, ffs, man.

Canada is probably about the same, there isn't a large enough black population there to really make any sort of statement though.

Europe is typically much, much more racist than the US is.

In general, they're not.

They're not disenfranchised due to their race, or killed by cops because of their race, or all of the other little injustices African Americans face on a daily basis in the US.

(and you left out Canada - guess you admit Canada's better)

I seriously believe that some of you loons actually think that black people should be allowed to commit crime without consequence.

Go on and articulate why Philando Castile should have died due to his 'crimes'. Or Walter Scott. Or Tamir Rice. Or Freddie Gray. etc. etc. etc.

That's a deflection, not a denial.

Defined by opportunity it's the best it's ever been. Define by actual life it's not great for most. Better than 3rd world Africa but that's not saying much. Most of their troubles are self made. Making poor choices and choosing incredibly bad leaders.

You needed to be pointed back to the original topic after your poor attempt at deflection.

Go on then, articulate it.

There should be no excuses for blacks to become educated and enter our workforce.

That wasn't a deflection.

I made a statement. One that you won't deny, because I was right. You DO believe that black people should be able to commit crimes with impunity. You just know that you can't come out and say it.
