Self examination can only be voluntary, not forced. Which is why no US right winger does it. I think its the lazy welfare recipient attitude they maintain which is responsible.
Read this article for more info: http://www.tomatobubble.com/wonderfulrace1.html "Well, George, I'm sure your professors at the college never told you this, but the ancient Egyptians were not black or brown, not in the early and peak days of their civilization anyway. They were Caucasians. The scientists who examined the Egyptian mummies confirmed this fact. Mummies with blonde and red hair are in museums today - in the world that you once knew that is. Did you know that a 2011 DNA test even proved that Egyptian King Tut shares common ancestry with 70% of British men, and 50% of all European men? Oddly enough, there is NOT a similar DNA match between today's "Egyptians" and King Tut. Egypt's Whites were blended out by Black Nubians. " White Berber girl of North Africa So, there are no pyramids in this non -White world George, and no Sphinx either. And the later day Carthaginians were also White, as are most of the modern day Berbers of North Africa."
I have often thought that if I was a descendent of slaves in America I would thank my lucky stars my forefathers were brought here against their will and enabled me to now live here instead of Africa.
They were only allowed on the Space Shuttle because PC America has to pick one from every group to satisfy the liberals. It's no accident that the space program has stalled since that mentality took over.
It's too bad that you don't appreciate the fact that people of all races have contributed to science and technology. It doesn't change that reality and it doesn't even really matter. You only get credit for what you personally accomplish.
People of all races will continue to build on the current technological knowledge and advance. It's sad that you care so much about race.
Before slavery was abolished its greatest supporters were the lower class whites. This was because it gave these dregs of white society someone even they could look down on. So it remains today. The white race's biggest losers are generally its most bigoted as well.
Jack, people tried to appropriate Great Zimbabwe's structures until finally they had to admit that they were constructed by black people. The race of various people from ancient Egypt will be debated forever. It doesn't surprise me at all that today's Egyptians don't match the DNA of King Tut. People migrate and I wouldn't expect the population to have remained static since antiquity. There is contradictory research. I remember a reconstruction of King Tut in which he looked like Montel Williams. These people were probably mixed, IMO, with some of the pharaoh's having more black ancestry and others having more white ancestry. It doesn't affect anyone's ability to achieve today.
I've spend more than a little time in Zim and can tell you that Great Zimbabwe is not all that great. And your degree in Egyptology, Archeology or Cell Biology/DNA science is from where?
So you're saying... when born non-white, you must pay more taxes than whites? Sounds more you're supportive of apartheid and racist oppression. Also... how about the non violent crimes? Bernard Madoff, that rather white individual, and apparently a Jew thieved for 65 billion at least.
MYTH!!!! A good field hand on the eve of the Civil War cost approx. $1,500 in an era when most people were lucky to make $200 per yr. Your average sharecropper wasn't buying slaves.
He wasn't buying or owning one, that's true, but he could still look down on him. He could find some sort of self-worth in the fact that as lowly as he might be he was still his own man. That may not seem much to us but to those people, who regularly dealt with a whole class that didn't even own themselves it was quite a lot. And in our own day racially prejudiced people are losers by definition, recognizing that they themselves are the lowest of the low and utterly beyond redemption they spend their time in futile attempts to tear everyone down to the utter nadir of humanity they alone occupy instead of making any effort at self-improvement.
You attempted a halfhearted admission of being wrong, and then turned around & said something even more ignorant.
No, I said YOU were wrong, the Southerner's sense of superiority had nothing to do with the price the black fetched except insofar as it made the white himself feel he was worth much more than that. And what is the second statement ignorant OF? Or are you just using it like HS girls do, to indicate something you don't like but have no idea why.
Most of those people identify as white likely because they are white. I mean who are you to say who is white or not? LOL
Threads like this are amusing because you end up seeing a bunch of racist clowns who've accomplished either very little or nothing in life taking the credit for other people's accomplishments because they share the same skin color. Racist: "The white man invented the Telephone" Normal person: "But what did you invent?" Racist: "Uh, nothing. But the white man invented the telephone. That makes me better than black people"
Why are you so unwilling to accept the fact that the race-crime connection is a HUGE problem? Proof positive that you libs don't give a damn about fixing anything, you just want to draw a skirmish line and pat yourself on the back for standing on the wrong side. Pathetic.
Who should be descendants of slaves be thanking? Inquiring minds want to know. - - - Updated - - - Yep, this thread proves this. Notice how many right wing posters are here bragging about what the "white man" invented, yet it's VERY likely they themselves have invented nothing of importance.
Ironic considering we indoctrinate children from pre-k to college with Black History month. A period of time where were forced to give a damn about the ..what ..the handful of modern things Blacks have been credited for inventing? You know some of those things we learned about growing up weren't even invented by Blacks? And you don't have to invent a phone to contribute to society, the very act of being a part of it and maintaining it for the next generation is an accomplishment. What will most Blacks be leaving their next generation? Gangs, drugs, ghettos, prison cells, welfare, directions to the Democrat voting booth. Yea, that's something to be proud of.
