Tell Me What You Think The Role Of Your Race In America Is?

If everybody just ignores the trolls they eventually go away. These are deeply disturbed individuals that didn't get enough hugs from their Mama or their daddies used to beat them for torturing small animals. No attention, no trolls. ;-)
Nuhh-unhhh!!

Sociological indicators like crime, poverty, unwed childbirth, welfare dependency etc etc, are very highly correlated to general intelligence. Face it, people who are much below average find it hard to make it in this society. We don't create enough places for them. They used to have the agriculture sector but jobs there dried up 2 generations ago. Much of what is attributed directly and wrongly to race, is really attributable to IQ.

Here is the sum of what I accept to be 'the truth as I see it' :
All matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration.
We are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively.
There is no such thing as death, life is only a dream,
and we are the imagination of ourselves...
Here's Tom with the weather...
Quote is from Bill Hicks

This is not meant to be a racist remark.

To be honest, I think every civilization would had been better off if they were not integrated by caucasions. We would still be fending for ourselves and governing ourselves. Alot if not most people don't like someone who looks different than them having authority over them.

A black man did not draw a map of africa and decide where its borders should be. A non indigenous white man did.

My place of origin was conquered and reeped of its resources. Nowadays in reality I would not be better off there, but I can't help but think what could of been.
Sounds like someone is not too fond of us "crackers". The white man is the source of all the world's ills. Is that the jist of your post? I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at. :-?

I took his post to mean that he wishes that Africa was just left alone. No slave trade, no diamond mines, no wars over boundaries made by outsiders... just continuing their simpler life of hunting and gathering. Probably never was the paradise it might sound like from far away in time and distance. I'm sure they still had wars before outsiders came along, and life wasn't all that easy... but better than the mess it is now I guess.

There is an airport within a few hundred miles of where you are sitting right now. Buy a 1 way ticket, get on the plane, and have a great life!

Problem solved!

A time machine would be a more suitable choice than an airplane would. Thanks for missing the entire point of my post bud.
I guess I don't really understand your post either then. A time machine would take you back to a time when the average lifespan was about 30 years, diseases that have been eradicated would likely kill at least 50% of your kids. No heat, no AC, none of the technology we take for granted that enriches our lives or just makes it easier. Forget about 'em! Of course there's the tribe over the hill that is waiting until dark to come raid your village, rape your women and take your food and valuables, leaving in their wake, burnt huts and dead bodies. Ah yes, the good ol' days!:roll:

Where are the most affluent blacks in the world? America

When have black ever been more affluent than they are in America today? Never

That doesn't mean shut up and be happy with what you have. But it is a fact worth noting.

The problem with your debate is ignorance. There were civilized groups of people in africa before the influx of caucasions. Ever heard of the Nubian Kings and Queens, The Kingdom of Mali, The Songhay Empire?? I'll go into a bit more detail later but for now I must get off my phone get back to my course work.

If it were only that easy. Expatriation costs hundreds of thousands and takes years and years to do.

According to a Justice Department report released in July 2003, the U.S. prison population surpassed 2 million for the first time—2,166,260 people were incarcerated in prisons or jails at the end of 2002 (the latest statistics available). Since 1990, the U.S. prison population, already the world's largest, has almost doubled.
About two-thirds of prisoners were in state and federal prisons, while the rest were in local jails. The report does not count all juvenile offenders, but noted that there were more than 10,000 inmates under age 18 held in adult prisons and jails in 2002. The number of women in federal and state prisons reached 97,491.
About 10.4% of the entire African-American male population in the United States aged 25 to 29 was incarcerated, by far the largest racial or ethnic group—by comparison, 2.4% of Hispanic men and 1.2% of white men in that same age group were incarcerated. According to a report by the Justice Policy Institute in 2002, the number of black men in prison has grown to five times the rate it was twenty years ago. Today, more African-American men are in jail than in college. In 2000 there were 791,600 black men in prison and 603,032 enrolled in college. In 1980, there were 143,000 black men in prison and 463,700 enrolled in college.

really....the fact that more African Americans are in prison are the example of how racism still happens in this country...unfair sentencing laws have treated five grams of crack cocaine the same as 500 grams of powder cocaine...tell me how and why is that...hell you need cocaine in order to make crack...but we know that crack is more used in your urban areas ...I think that sentencing should have been and always be equal for both....keep it real

lol! Ignorance? Perhaps. If you were fortunate enough to be born into royalty or nobility then yeah, you'd probably have loved it. If not, you would've likely been a slave or worse. Disease was still rampant in those days and killed probably better than half of babies that were born. Then you had to run the gauntlet of childhood and tropical ailments endemic to that region of the world as you grew up. Maybe you would have had a strong immune system, maybe not. Look, I'm not trying to burst your bubble here. If you think you'd have been better off hundreds or even thousands of years ago, great! I just like to shed a little reality onto the fantasy. I'll leave you to your daydreaming. :cool:

could it also be that african americans are more tend to lean to the illegal side of things rather then work i am not basing this on all blacks what i am getting at is when for instance a black african family from the bronxs are living in poverty what they choose to either live of hands of american tax payors is there choice but most will join a gang striving for who has the biggest dog chain Yo
and either end up in jail by the time there 16 or killed from another rival gang
we all chose our destiny in life and if you think were raciest just look at the color of your president

ok getting to the root cause are you feeling guilty cause what you dont think its fair ??? should it be fair that you costing the tax payor

Black health is a term that refers to health issues that affect African Americans. Because there so are many health conditions that plague the black community, it's extremely necessary for various educational initiatives to exist. For instance, African Americans die at a much more alarming rates from HIV, heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and even lupus - compared to their white counterparts.

There is nothing more Balkanizing then race based politics. What is so amazing to me is that we are still willing to entertain the idea that modern American society is systemically or institutionally racist. It is not. Anyone who's says otherwise is ignorantly guilt ridden, seeking power, extortion, or handouts. Racism doesn't exist! At least not by any real definition of the word.
