    The white man invaded Africa? When did that happen?

    I think you are just making lies up about white folk.

    that is not Black culture Touchtalk. Culture is not based on political affiliation or anything else. And everything you are citing is a matter of personal choice and experience. And some of them have been "romanticized" in the movies. Bear in mind, the first gangs here in the United States were the Irish, and if you go to New York, Philly and a couple of other major cities with large Irish populations, you will see Irish gangs as well. Even the dime novels have made the outlaw in the wild west as sexy, but their lifestyle was anything but. So congrats on believing fantasy as reality.

    So, conservatives who have had failures and everyone else's faults are also a hallmark of Trumpianism and modern conservatism. Does that mean modern conservativism and Trumpianism are all black now and exhibiting black culture?

    But this link tells you what African American Culture is, from a historical point of view. For the most part, it is highly complex. In simplicity, it is in jazz music, food which can vary from state to state, and so forth. It is complex, diverse, and comes from many different areas of influence as the link describes.

    YOu do not know world history. Napoleon and the Romans invaded Egypt,. Rome also invaded North Africa, mostly to battle Carthage and its remnants. Belgium, Great Britain, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, and Portugal have colonized, aka invaded, Africa, beginning in the 18th century.

    Beyond slaves. Try gold,silver, and other precious metals, to spread Christianity to the heathen upon the point of a spear, and as a bonus, slaves, especially to America, India, South America like Brazil, etc.

    It is all based on movies, such as abusing social services, not parenting, romanticization of gang culture, etc.

    EOE is merely a legal citation in case an applicant does not get hired. But then again, what you are arguing is that Clarance Thomas was promoted to the Supreme Court because he lacked merit? How about Dr. Carson before he became famous? Was he promoted to being a doctor because he was black and not qualified?

    BTW, you can't have it both ways.

    I can always stick you in Hong Kong and see how well you survive there. With your attitude, it won't be you are white though. And most in Hong Kong will probably out perform you in each and every category.

    Is there some reason you feel the need to speak about me personally instead of my post or the topic?

    I bet someone from Hong Kong could probably stay on topic.

    It was to the point you are making if you look closely Fatback. I just used you as the guinea pig to make that point. Since the point is about race and "which race is superior" type of argument, which you were making as an implication, then if you reverse it, let's see if the same holds true, which is exactly what I did.

    I already told you that.

    I am not a leftist.

    No. There first needs to be a culture that rests upon the notion that assimilation is good and that assimilation is possible. However, intellectuals and poluticians of both sides do not advocate it today; those on the right believe it is impossible because the immigrants are brown or something and those on the left call assimilation racist.

    Immigrants generally do what they are told and if they are told to not become part of society, they won't.

    I made zero such implications and all you did was try to muddy up the subject and make it about me and you're not fooling anyone by doing it.

    Sure for that, but the whitey did that to other whitey folk too, so you can't blame that on race alone. Besides, JCS and I were have a duscussion in the context of slavery in the USA. The white man did not invade Africa to take slaves, those Africans enslaved in the USA were already enslaved by other Africans, or they were the descendants of Africans stolen from Africa by Africans. So if you feel the need for reparations for American slavery I could not agree more.

    Africa needs to pay.

    Yeah, Romans to Thecians, Gauls, Germans, etc. But war was a matter of conquest and slavery was one way to pay for that war. But when the Africans came into being, especially to America, the colonies, it was created much differently. Remember, the second year after Jamestown was established, the first African slaves came, but they were indentured servants and worked 7 years and were then freed, as all indentured servants did. But at some point, blacks were eliminated from indentured servitude and were slaves for life, and were deemed not even human beings by some slave owners. That idea has now persisted with the "blacks must get in because of race" argument crap.

    Doesn't matter. That PM finally figured it out.
    Point is...she was correct. And the false narrative that she was being racist was a means by progressives to try and shut her up. And unless you know something I don't...she's not a white nationalist. She doesn't mind immigration.
    Mass immigration = bad. Especially for smaller populated States like Sweden.

    Maybe Biden is correct? With his white supremacy during a recent speech.

    I think you are right, other that the last thing these folks are is Liberal, they are leftists and they are not mutually committed to our liberty, which is the true base of liberalism.

    A/B is a great example. How Bud Light Blew It. “Anheuser-Busch works with 385 independent distributors, or wholesalers, across the country. Many of them are family-owned businesses that have carried Anheuser-Busch products for generations. The move of the company’s sales and marketing hub from St. Louis to New York in 2015, several years after Anheuser-Busch was acquired by global giant InBev, has been a point of contention. Some wholesalers have pushed the brewer to move those marketers back to St. Louis, arguing that executives in New York are out of touch with the drinkers of the company’s flagship brands. Anheuser-Busch also has marketers based in St. Louis, Austin, Miami and Los Angeles.”

    They are right.

    No not really. She bowed to political pressure, but she really didn't figure it out.

    No she was not. She used the same tactics as Hitler did with the Jews and other groups in Germany. And most of what she said could not be independently verified. It was internet hysteria at its worst. Sort of like the "no go zone" areas of Briton that some conservatives were proposing on TV. that too was all a lie.

    So, the mass migration of the Irish was bad? How? How about the Germans? Swedes? Eastern Europeans? Asians? Mexicans?

    You seem to have a talent for reading whatever you want into what people write.
