    After the Soviet Union collapsed and Second World countries were free to develop, by American standards, yes, many were shitholes, but even they had at least up to a 1950s development with running water and basic sanitation. The undeveloped Third World, as noted in the WHO links I provided, are still shitholes. It's not genetic, it's not necessarily cultural. It's developmental. If the Zombie Apocalypse occurred, we'd all be quickly living in a shithole when the water and sanitation are turned off. Having been to many of these countries, I count my blessings every day that I was fortunate enough to have been born in such a well developed country. It's just pure f'king luck none of us were part of the 25% living in shitholes.

    I said, "...for the Africans brought there," not the French.

    To be replaced by what kind of racism? Surely you are not saying only whites are racist or that whites have a greater percentage of racists than other "races".

    When "the white racist world" ends, who will you be left to hate?

    The warmed-over RW Fever Swamp BS shtick of Trump's Apologists is getting more COMICAL by the minute.

    Very entertaining.

    I hope they keep the Apologist Shtick coming.

    I need more laughs. :salute:

    This is only possible if you believe the characterization of a location cannot be separated from a similar characterization of the people who live there.
    Why is that?

    It's not right to generalize, which is why I say it depends on the individual.

    Anyway, I don't think Norwegians are particularly motivated to come here. Contrary to right-wing fantasies, socialism works. They have work, wealth and sensible healthcare. Why would they want to come here and have to contend with bible-thumping, gun-toting crazies and their insane choices of elected leaders?

    Shout all you must. Do I deem Fox a reliable source? No. For the same reason I would not rely on Huffington.

    Do I provide Fox reportage to its slavish devotees? Of course! Why not?

    1) It appears India has a larger incidence of slavery than the vast majority of African nations. Also, that's a Mercator projection map which distorts the relative size of continents and countries. Africa is huuuuge. It may take another hundred years or more to develop it.

    This is an apples-to-apples comparison of the size of Africa, the cradle of all humanity, to other world nations:

    If socialism works then Venezuelans wouldn't be lining up down the street waiting for their rations of toilet paper.

    I'd say the reason Norwegians don't come here is because they have essentially a white ethnostate which is also their ancestral homeland. Why come here to live amongst Mexicans and blacks if they don't have to? Hell, even relatively poor Eastern Europeans aren't moving to the US for the same reason.

    Jews have been at war with Christians for 2000 years. That's where that is coming from.

    You are behaving like a pathetic whining child who has no factual basis to debate with me since you have nothing to proove me wrong except to try and parse my words and remove them from the context of the flow of the discussion.
    Do not understand that I have the intelligence, experience, and right to speak about immigration in historical terms that of course I am cognizant that the vast bulk of the immigrants who came here from Scandanavian countries came here between the late 19th century and the first 1/3 of the 20th. Do you understand that the 19th century preceded the 20th?

    Do you understand that the Midwest is not populated exclusively nor even by majority of Scandinavian stock but that as I stated and I will type slowly for you that Scandanavians primarily settled in the Midwest. Do you see the word "settled"? That means they are not currently coming here in significant numbers but they have been here for generations.

    I am done trying to educate you and explaining things to you so if you want to play dilly games and parse and twist others word go do it at dome other forum not here among us adults.

    Sitting here in the UK Watching America Destroy itself. The Fool in the White House is Clearly a Liar people on the Right Claim to be Christians but Support every single BS that comes out of this President's mouth. One thing is for Certain whether you are Black or White Death is guaranteed and after your borrowed time on earth expires you will have to explain to your creator why you harbor such hate against his own creation. We are all stupid ! fighting for land on earth riches..everything on this planet is temporarily..Money is temporarily, Life is Temporarily, Tax cuts temporarily, being Rich Temporarily , Poor countries pain temporarily you know what won't be Temporarily ? Eternal rest in hell or Blessed souls in paradise. So keep fighting for your Temp MAGA BS Trump won't live forever just like everyone else his time will expire.

    Maybe after his death he can say to the Creator America First LOL

    Except that most of the voting public knows that countries like Haiti are shithole countries.

    In their shithole countries that don't work.

    It's much more than an albatross.

    Right, why would residents of an all white country come to the US? For more "diversity"?

    They said that before the election and more minorities voted for him than they did Romney. Even brown minorities on this board hold up countries like Norway as an ideal over their Hispanic homelands.
