Tea party leader expelled over 'racist' rant

There also seem to be a lot of blacks in Africa who are also not doing so great. In fact they are doing even less great than the blacks in America. Yet they were never exposed to slavery, Jim Crow laws, civil rights conflicts, segregation, and are the majority in their lands. Yet their living standards are the shittiest and their social problems are some of the greatest of anywhere in the world... Is this somehow the evil white man's fault too...

Come to think of it blacks in America are the most well off blacks in the world...

Anyone care to explain...

Quote from CaptainObvious:

Jim Crow ain't exactly hot of the press news either. You're talking stuff that happened better than 5 decades ago, and I'm talking about what's happening right now. You gonna' tell me that some gang banger is out their killing people because some black guy couldn't get served in a diner during the 50's? Please!

Editing for more: When does the excuse making end, and personal accountability begin? What I'm saying is that so long as it's politically and financially profitable, the race baiting will never end.
And we still have not addressed the point of my previous posts which is, who pose's the real danger to the black community? Is it the fabricated racism that the Tea Party is being smeared with, or is it the black community themselves? The evidence seems fairly obvious to me. Isn't any old white woman gonna' kill a young black man tonight. Isn't some guy carrying a sign saying Obama sucks that is destroying the black family structure.

Perhaps it has to do with the fact that all but one part of that continent was colonised for long periods of time?

Ahhh, just as I suspected. It IS whitey's fault that Africa is such a shithole...

But, wait a minute... The USA, Canada, and Australia were also colonized for long periods of time yet they have some of the highest standards of living in the world. Sooo.. why didn't these horrific effects of colonialism manifest in any of these nations...

Well they did, the native populations were widely exterminated and it were the settlers who enjoyed the 'higher' standards of living, the colonisation didnt turn out well for the natives in any of the places.

Was? That continent is still a de facto colony in my opinion.

Saying 'is' will require too much explaining for our friends here. :D
 
But even if it 'were' the settlers that lived there, they were colonized. They were colonies were and mistreated and exploited by their colonial powers. Yet, centuries after colonization, the USA, Canada, and Australia are among the most prosperous nations in the world. This is after centuries of colonization... Why is Africa then subject to these horrific effects of colonialism while oz, usa, and canada seem to have done just fine after colonialism ended....Why have they been immune to these horrible effects of colonialism. The fact that many natives were killed doesn't address this at all...

Quote from Ricter:

We are responsible for the mess we're in. You point to slavery, long over, but forget about Jim Crow, not long over.

You'd no doubt accept that a society can impoverish and probably reduce to hopelessness, drug addiction, and violence, a group, say working people, by its laws, police, and socialized norms on taxation. So why is it hard to accept that a society can do the same to another group based on a different attribute?

I haven't read all of this dreary thread, so I apologize if someone has made this point.

The problem with your thesis is that dysfunctional behavior in the underclass has increased since the abolition of "Jim Crow." Educational achievement has actually regressed since Brown v. Board of Education. Pick a measure of societal dysfunction, eg illegitimate births, dropout rate, crime, addiction, unemployment, and it is worse.

The democrats' method of showing how exceptionally caring they are is to keep on doing the exact same thing that has produced this disaster. Blacks of course enthusiastically lap it up, fueled by subtle and now not so subtle black racism, class envy and hatred and the promise of something for nothing.
 
And we still have not a soul from the left that will attempt to address who is more dangerous to the black community. Old white person carrying a sign saying Obama sucks, or running into another young black man?
Let's assume for the sake of argument that all the explanations of the race baiters, the white apologists, black leadership are true. Whitey is just keeping the black man down which fuels all this violence. It would seem that the drive bys would be happening in the white communities. If you're pissed off at whitey, why not kill whitey? Wouldn't be right, but at least it would make some sense.
Seems the black man is saying, I'm really mad at you, you white devil. You have ruined my life and the lives of my people. You have destroyed my entire culture. My community is a horrible place to live and it's all your fault, you white bastard! I hate your f'n guts. Think I'll go kill my black neighbor! Makes sense.:confused:
