The one thing I can agree with you on is that the white man is so cunningly intelligent that it's scary. It is not even the acts that have been perpetrated in the past that bothers me but the way a few white men sneaked into America and Africa and some how tricked and took over their lands. While claiming to liberate the savages. Well, the savages had order in their savagery just the same way the civil have order in their civility but no they had to meddle and mess up the order within specific societies. Before I continue you do sound hateful and racist.
If you truly knew Africans as you tend to claim you will realize there's a difference in attitude between Africans and Black Americans. I think the Africans you mean to refer to were the slaves that were taken against their will and brought here. The generation that was born here afterwards are black American. The term African American should be changed to "black American" because no one says European American.
I'm glad for education because right now I'm taking a sociology class taught by a white man and with each class he explains to us how the whites treat other races in subtle cruel ways. So, please spare me. When a country finds out that insecticides that are used on crop are harmful instead of getting rid of them. They ship it to Africa and because we've been brain washed to think the west is all that. So, when the poisons are shipped to us we assume it's safe and use it. That's just one example. Most of what we are taught in school is taught from the white man's point of view. Why? because his way is the best and he knows it all? yet tell me how many black serial killers you've heard of? Most of the crimes amongst blacks stem from poverty. Yet you have the rich whites exploiting Africa for diamonds and even though the profit is so great. They pay the workers peanuts. So, excuse me if AA is used to give us some sort of relief. it's not a guarantee for success in and of it self.
Bottom line is that a lot of the problem we see today were directly and indirectly created by the white man. It's true that in some ways they are trying to make amends but the vicious cycle has spun out of control.
Even more bull****
What do you think the Romans did when they conquered Europe? Bring a bout AA policies to give their subjects a chance? What about Greece before them? Egypt? Hell, after the Romans we have the Turks and Moors. We had Mongol invasions to deal with.
No one ever gave the white man a helping hand. He had to adapt or die.
Move forward 1000 years and we are now sailing around the world. We go to Africa where the black man has not even discovered basic technologies. Things like the wheel, simple mathematics or systems of currency. Sure, pockets of minute development but it never flourishes because there is always a systematic collapse.
As for Africans being taken from Africa? Nah mate, they were bought from Africans. African tribes were selling them into slavery. Sometimes for commodities, sometimes for trinkets like sea shells. Your own people were selling you.
Does it make slavery right? No, not at all. As the white man became more civilised he realised that perhaps slavery (which he himself had to suffer through for years under monarchies and conquerors himself) was philosophically wrong. Democracy and liberty were born.
Africans were then freed (something white people DIED for) and given something they never had to fight for. Independence. Despite this, they continue to blame the white man for all their problems. They have been given everything on a silver platter. A head start that o other culture was EVER given. Still, they complain and whine about it.
You want to see Africa at work? Go live there. Please. Come and see how Africans operate in Africa.
The biggest problem is that you think you are entitled to everything. You are entitled to nothing. Be grateful you were given a crack at it in the first place. No other race was afforded this luxury without a fight. Only Africans were. You never fought for your freedom, you were given it.
As for trying to distance yourself from African mentality because you were born in the USA? No matter where you go, you see the same behaviour from Africans. It transcends culture and location. Be it South Africa or Nigeria. Be it the USA or France. Africans always sitting with their hands out blaming the whole world for their situation. Stealing, robbing and raping their way through life when the going gets tough.
Another general racist statement? Definitely! Factual? Damn ****ing right. The day I left that **** pit of a continent was the best thing I ever did. No African will ever see sympathy from this white boy seeing the crap I have seen.
See...it's examples of white arrogance such as what's quoted above that blacks can't stand. It only serves to increase their pre-existing resentment.
Perhaps the biggest chip on the shoulder of the white collective today is the notion of whites being noble saviors for finally allowing institutional equality for blacks, and that blacks should just "shut up and be happy." Nevermind slavery for a minute, and consider that any black person you see around today as young as early 40s once lived under segregation and miscegenation laws. THAT is how recent that stuff was. The only reason whites conceded was because blacks FOUGHT for that, NOT because whites were so kind and gracious, or underwent an independent shift of conscience. You can bet that had blacks not fought for it hard enough, de jure segregation would still be status quo.
Whites aren't exempt from karma. "As Ye Sow, So Shall Ye Reap"
Why sugar coat the truth? Because you dont want to hurt their feelings? Im not about to ignore a statement of fact simply because people would see it as arrogance.
I am an easy going guy who has seen a lot in his short time. I have a lot to learn too. One thing I will tell you all straight up. Americans, and especially African Americans, have no idea how tird world countries operate. You watch a movie like Blood Diamond or Black Hawk Down and you think you know what the reality is like. That **** is tame compared to what goes on there.
Segregation happens all over the world and Africans were not the only victims. Look at the Georgians in Russia. Croatians near Serbia. Tibetans in CHina. Give me a break. Everyone has had a tough time. Im not about to afford the one race that lives in the most fertile resource rich continent the luxury of an excuse for their failures as a culture and race of people. They need to grow a pair of balls already and start facing up to their situation. White man cant help them forever. Its pathetic that we are expected to.
