Hi everybody.
What up Alf.My 2 cents:
I believe that African Americans can be compared to abused children who bedcome adults.
1st questions:
How many of you now children that were either: Molested, Raped, Physically Abused, or mentally abused?
Did they have problems adjusting to life at home?
School?
How did they respond to authority figures?
Experimented with drugs or participated in other "attention getting behavior"?
How many adults do you know that were:Molested, Raped, Physically Abused, or mentally abused as children?
Do they have problems adjusting to life at home?
At work?
Personal relationships?
Authority figures?
Experimented with drugs or participated in other "attention getting behavior"?
So every African American alive today was "abused" somehow?
Did you experience the Civil Rights movement? Did you experience Jim Crow? Did you experience slavery? Where you captured and sold by other Africans to the Spainairds, who in turn shipped you to one of the slave ports; then sold you at auction only to be shipped to some Southern American cotton plantation?
People like FoTN who cry about how his life is comparable to the slaves of the 1800's or the 2nd class citizenship status the blacks had during the Jim Crow era, do nothing more than belittle and mock the horror those people factually went through.

Some do, some dont. Thats just naive. Thats why we have unfair trade with the third world.
Actually the third world exist because of stuff like colonization and capital flight.
"Unfair trade" is because they already have all the patents and such to the natural resources; hence, no rush to stop shit in Darfur and other war torn regions - they have no incentive.
What you said is stupid and actually proved my point. Rich people go quid pro quo with other rich people. General statement but can not be argued with as a whole.
I don't see rich people allowing "less fortunate" to live side by side with them. I don't give a damn what creed or race or whatever they are, it does not happen.
Denying yourself such a "duh" moment is kinda funny 😆

"The past explains the present, the present predicts the future" - A quote I made up 😆 .
If taken into this context it makes much more sense. Otherwise, it seems to just be some bitter crap.

I agree, but you see there are many problems that not only economic wise but modern wise.1. Race (The belief of an inferior race)
2. Religion (Seriously caused by Extremists, FACT)
3. Imperialist, corrupt world leaders in the face of the earth.
4. Wars
One of the reason why I can debate forever on why HUMANITY CAN NEVER EVER UNITE. Not eveyrthing is possible as the way it should be.
All true.
divisiveness is rampant in society. I believe that until we are open and honest with ourselves and others, there will always be those to take advantage of the miscommunication.

Slight of Hand. True also.
But in order to stop the bleeding you have to realize what went wrong, where, and to what extent.
If you ever want to heal properly.

Bro some rich people dont care about race some people do, I dont see whats so stupid about that. I do think some of the reasons why they are not helping the third world is racial as well. I dont see how its a laughing matter, conisdering that racism still exists I dont see how thats not a possibility.
I was under the impression one of the reasons why we have unfair trade stems from colonisation. I was under the impression that certain people in history were killed who trying to fight for equal rights. I dont see how all of a sudden things have changed and unfair trade is ONLy about money.

When was the last time you lived in the same House where your Mothers and sisters were rapped and brutalised?
Or worked with people that used to consider people like you animals?
Or fought to be accepted by said people?
When was the last time your girlfriend's Mom called you a ****** because you wouldn't let her have some money?
When was the last time a group of ladies clutched their purses as you walked by?

You belittle and mock them every time you tell a black person to "get over it".
Are you African American?
Do you watch the news?
Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It merely changes states/forms.
Emotions are energy. Just like everything else.
I said some care about race and some don't, but it is always about BUSINESS at the end of the day. If that man can make you some money, who cares?
Slave owners in the U.S. viewed slaves as property. Property that could also multiply through children and the such. Yes, they are less of a man than a white man BUT they make you your money.
What you say has merit but it simplifies the entire mindset you must look @. Without slaves the tools, land, crops, and so on are all useless which alone makes them incredibly valuable (in today's currency the average slave amounts to around $200,000 before including losses in labor, tools and so on). You are not paying them wages and you can produce more labor through children. Hence, the money being the main factor in the slave debate before the civil war, NOT morals .

Hmmm ok.
i dont recall robtard saying to "get over it".
all i know is im over it. i never owned a slave. i never called a black person a n*****. i never treated people different because of their ethnicity.
therefore i owe no appology, feel no guilt, and offer no charity based on ethnicity and skin color.
i believe reparations are a good idea, so long as they come in the form of revenue for empoverished inner city communities, as opposed to a check in the mail, but thats as far as it goes.
with that said, i refuse to accept the rantings of a privileged and racist child posing as a victim on a movie forum, out of some obligation based on their skin color. black clowns, white clowns...they're all the same to me.
Point being that race does not eclipse money in the mind of a "business" man.
Race is making people bicker over dumb shit. Black people are beginning to dislike Hispanics more and more because they are willing to do the same jobs for less money which could drive down the minimum wage. Sounds really familiar to different periods of U.S. history:
* White Americans - Irish immigrants > Immigrants - Black people > Black people - Hispanics (I skipped a few but allow me to be lazy)
Yes, the construct of race plays a part but that is forgetting that all races of people have the same kinds of issues with different obstacles.

I agree mostly. I'm going to refrain from calling Blue a clown though. Hasn't gone that far. That is reserved for FOTN and Czarina
