dadudemon: LOL. Maryland and Delaware are most certainly not Southern states. Any source that lists them as southern states is a laughable one at best. Neither is West Virginia a southern state. Not technically, anyway. Oklahoma is debatable (it's more Midwest, imo) but all the rest you listed are below the Mason-Dixon line and are southern states for sure.

Typical and ironic.

Many of them do blame us for the ways of our ancestors. As I said way back on page one, there was even a black celebrity who wanted a huge sum of money from the government because his ancestors were slaves. LOL.

More like I am blaming the current generation of whites for expecting blacks to instantly forgive and forget 350 years of oppression. Instead of looking at blacks as "thuggish freeloaders", whites should be like "wow, our ancestors really screwed these guys over and their sins still have contemporary effects, so rather than criticize their lack of education, let's cut them some slack instead of having unrealistic expectations that they will automatically start performing at our level."

Yeah, cause 350 years of oppression most certainly without a doubt won't generate any animosity from future generations only 5 decades later. I forgot we live in Idealist-Land.
Basically what I am saying is, like any worthwhile process, racial egalitarianism will not be immediate and will occur in stages. Blacks are just learning what freedom and education is and still have to learn how to wield it responsibly. Whites have to be able to cut them some slack (especially since it's white ancestors who are responsible for black ignorance) until that happens. It's like a PTSD victim having to readjust to society. The transition will most certainly not be smooth.
And as far as the celebrity asking for slave reparations, that's the kind of stupid shit celebrities do for publicity. In no way does it impact the issues.

By "cut them some slack" do you mean that they should be allowed to loot and burn down businesses when they don't agree with a jury's decision to not put someone on trial? Should we cut them some slack when they attack a police officer and put the officer's life at risk? Should we cut them some slack because they think they don't have to abide by the same laws that everyone else does because their ancestors were slaves? Should we cut them some slack by turning our heads the other way when they commit a crime because of the enslavement of their ancestors?
Exactly what do u mean by "Let's cut them some slack"? Also, just how many years, in your opinion, is enough before we can say "Ok, they've had enough time to get their act together and start 'performing at our level'(your words, not mine) for the wrongdoings that were done to their ancestors."?
Funny, I've never seen whites burn down businesses just because a jury made a decision they didn't agree with. I do agree with you though that destroying property because of sports results is childish and people of all races do that but I haven't seen them burn any businesses down as a result of sports. Maybe turn a few cars over here and there but that's about the worst thing I think I've seen them do.
I simply do not understand why blacks and Arabs have a tendency to be violent.
It's like violence is in their nature.
I know it can be changed, but how much do we need to do to make them change. Do we need to use force? 'Cause I don't think our passive criticisms and apprehensions are working on them.
Does it need to be on the scale of the atomic bombs of Hiroshima and Nagasaki? I mean, look how we forced the Japanese to become peace-loving people.
Oh, I forgot, blacks all across the nation were looting and rioting after the Wilson decision, and I also forgot it was only blacks looting in Ferguson. I also forgot that Ferguson wasn't a specific circumstance due to a history of police discrimination leading to the powder keg of the Ferguson riots. Every time blacks hear a jury decision they disagree with, they riot. It's what they do. I remember they nearly burned down NYC after the Garner decision 🙄
