Re: There Must Be Some Mistake
Not all black people are like that. It's only certain people that act like that. There are many black people who are hard workers and who are highly educated. People of every color have idiots in their group that they are ashamed of.

None of these stupid fucks are smart enough to realize that in almost any convenience store cams are recording their actions. Hope they all get caught. |

Re: There Must Be Some Mistake
So how long were these guys slaves? The whole nation of Israel was born into slavery. They escaped by both their account and the account of the Egyptions who also wrote of this revolt. They left and that whole generation was deemed unfit to create a nation. They were purged of the dissenters who wished to take over the leadership and the remainder were doomed to live out their lives in the desert. After that generation died out their descendents were the ones who crossed over in their new homeland and battled the inhabitants to create their own nation. Blacks have little to whine and cry about. It is they and they alone who decide their own destiny. The ones here and the blacks in Africa have only themselves to blame for not utilizing their own resources. I don't care whether it is cultural or genetic. Each one of us is responsible for our own destiny. For blacks to blame whites for their condition is a copout. They create their own culture. Not one of them has been a slave other than a slave to their own distorted sense of entitlement. The chains they wear are of their own forging. It is up to them to remove what ever stops them from attaining their own dreams. But then you have Obama who is still blaming Bush, GOP, TEA party, Hurricane, Oil spill and whatever else he can blame for his failures. Typical finger pointing lack of responsibility. |

Re: There Must Be Some Mistake
"Although the Book of Exodus describes a period of Hebrew servitude in ancient Egypt, more than a century of archaeological research has discovered nothing which could support its narrative elements— the four centuries sojourn in Egypt, the escape of well over a million Israelites from the Delta, or the three months journey through the wilderness to Sinai.[5] The Egyptian records themselves have no mention of anything recorded in Exodus, the wilderness of the southern Sinai peninsula shows no traces of a mass-migration such as Exodus describes, and virtually all the place-names mentioned, including Goshen (the area within Egypt where the Israelites supposedly lived), the store-cities of Pithom and Rameses, the site of the crossing of the Red Sea (or, more commonly among modern Biblical scholars, the Sea of Reeds), and even Mt Sinai itself, have resisted identification.[6] Scholars who hold the Exodus to represent historical truth concede that the most the evidence can suggest is plausibility." Wikipedia Truly, no offense John, but the Exodus is a myth. It can't be used in this argument ("argument" in the true sense of the word). We can't postulate on the superiority of the Ancient Jews over modern African-Americans when the former's history is based on a tale. Furthermore, Egyptians are African and did quite well for thousands of years, having a massive empire throughout. Point being, these Africans (Egyptians) had land, resources, and the resulting education which often follows wealth accumulation. Should the Africans have been given their own nation? Perhaps but that would probably have been cruel. As much as I want to tell Africans Americans to better themselves, the hurdles are overwhelming. Strip white people of their wealth and education, disallow them employment, and tell them that they must be middle class en mass in 4 generations and see what percentage succeeds. I believe it's safe to assume the vast majority will fail. If anyone can offer a book that explains the reasons why African-Americans or Africans have failed to prosper and lead in the modern world I would be fascinated to read it. It's such a hot topic no book may have been written on the subject (from a scholarly perspective) but it would be intriguing. |
