Alexander Hamilton most likely wouldn't have been born in Nevis and if he was, would have probably never came to America seeking glory. Due to that, we wouldn't have to be listening to this bullshite about the Hamilton play and mike pence. BOOM.

The US would be broken up into 4 countries with each being about as powerful as Mexico or Australia.

You're welcome.

No doubt the country would be vastly different. I'm strongly on the side that believes diversity strengthens our country. It's not always pretty short term but the end result continues to be positive - unless you don't like Italians and the Irish.

lebron wouldn't be alive at all. The black people who would be alive in Africa would be completely different people with completely different DNA than the black people who are alive in America. It would be almost mathematically impossible for the mating patterns to have gone exactly the same if the slaves had never been brought to America.

If slaves were never brought to America Africans would claim racism as they were not invited to our new country and thus are required reparations for our racist ways

only if it means a bigger pool of talent from which to pull talent

"Diversity" via tokenism is a drag on everything it touches. You end up with felons in the fire department.

If slavery had not occurred what would white liberals use as their go to rhetorical club?

They don't actually give a shite about regular black people but they consider them useful as a crutch for any and all govt programs they can dream up.

Who knows, maybe a moocher white class would have sprung up independently like in Scandinavia.


This article is just bullshite to justify reparations.

It is true that more whites are on welfare than blacks

Whites: 11.661,000
Blacks: 11,362,000

There are also over 4 times as many whites as Blacks in the US.

It would still be a shite hole. When white people came to America there were major Universities in England and amazing architecture. The people living here were in fricking tepees. White people created the civilized world and through their own civility over time allowed other to come along. People of all colors should be glad that white people are not actually the evil bastards we have been made up to be or the entire fricking planet would be nothing but white people. Its just that simple.


Technically, the first foray into America by Europeans decimated the Indian people because it introduced diseases for which they had no immunity.

Europeans considered Native Americans beautiful, clean, and an amazing sight to behold.

Europeans were dirty and filthy to the Native Americans.

See, the Europeans created cities, which developed the things you were referring to, but not because they were some great, super advanced civilization in contrast to Native Americans.

They did because pretty all the major, domestication-capable animals were on the Eurasian continent. This led to greater farming as meat didn't require hunting. This led to cities, and poor understanding of disease. The great European cities of the day had animals crapping into their drinking water, spreading diseases and wiping major chunks of their population all the time.

White people weren't "evil", but to think Native Americans should be "grateful" for wiping out 93% of their population is an extreme form of arrogance.

I would argue that the drag on the entire economy and society that the blacks are today is more than making up for any gains because of their behalf dying the slave years.

Why do people constantly talk about "native Americans" as if they were some unified group? Many were constantly at war with each other. Killing, raping, stealing..
