Most other minorities seem to do fine.
Could I invite you to leave your sidewalk cafe in Argentina for a tour of the government buildings of, say, Detroit, Atlanta, Chicago, New York, Miami, et al.? You won’t see too many white people.
So ? You know, if lawyers, cops and other scum, sorry! civil servants, have the chance to send an innocent black to prison in order to save a guilty white, they will do it.
There is no so. That’s the point. They’d do the same to most minorities, the others don’t seem to have the problem blacks do.
It’s so true. Also, all white people in the US get a check for $100K and a yacht just for being born. Jews are disproportionately represented in the upper echelons of business, the professions, the sciences, and the arts, so you just know they’re up to something like that as well.
So you say…
Well, the natural elites who ran the south, aka slave drivers, didn’t have chinese slaves. Maybe the fact that there were no chinese slaves in the south proves that there were no black slaves either ?
You’re quite correct, I forgot that Clinton only abolished slavery in 1996.
I’m tempted to agree. Asians have a much lower time preference than even whites, and I would imagine superior or comparable IQs.
Byzantine, you should list some of the resources you use for this. People will have a much more difficult time calling you (or a Professor Walter Block) a racist if they can see the source material behind the theory.
Whatever it does to hinder the advancement of poor people from slums of any colour. Taxes, dole, zoning, unions, war on drugs… What the hell do I know? There has been plenty of material written.
The sort of prison I would have been to wouldnt have any blacks in anyhow. Your promise isnt really going to be enough though. Thats anecdotal.
That sounds rather thin to me. Why would self-control be connected to how fast you can do basic match operations?
From your reply it is obvious you know a lot of average black guys in prison.
Anyway, there is an additional secret factor nobody talks about, it is the fact that inner city blacks do not have the same drive to succeed. Not in the way you would define success. Fred Reed wrote about it a few times, but did not quite make these conclusions. Fact is that they in a lot of ways live the life of an occupied people. You may not agree that they are occupied and conquered, but that is irrelevant, that is their perception. Reed writes about how they do not trully identify as Americans and see cops as a sort of occupying army of the opressive white system. Not neccesarily in those words or in any words at all, but in spirit definetely. So why succeed when success means selling out to whitey and reinforcing his system? Fact is no people that thinks itself conquered and opressed has ever made good enterpreneurs (and no emigrants aren`t a people, emigrants are folks who make a consciouss decision to partly sever from their people and even suffer foreign overrule for better economic opportunity). It is like a sulky smart boy in a feminised school. Instead of working hard for grades he ends up a rebell without a cause.
Taxes, welfare, zoning, vice laws, etc. apply to everybody, yet not everybody is poor, and only certain groups have more poor per capita.
Really, if the US is such a redoubt of white oppression, why would ANYBODY come here? But in fact, people will spend blood and treasure to be an ethnic minority in the US.
How can this be? I just don’t understand. There MUST be an explanation out there somewhere. I just can’t figure out what it could possibly be.
Because intelligent people think about consequences. When they’re horny, they don’t just rape someone. When they’re mad, they don’t just hit someone. You are self-segregated in a group of higher IQ people so you think everybody acts like you and your friends and family.
There’s a book called The Bell Curve if I recall correctly. Not read it though.
The fact that you list the war on drugs as a cause of black poverty is proof of my point.
We aren`t going to be able to debate if you are going to ignore the points I make.
I`ve already offered an anwser to each of these. There is little need to repeat them.
As if I didn`t already think you were a statist…
Why, exactly, am I a statist?
Okay. So now explain why the chinese economy was communistic while the japanese was capitalistic.Both people are ‘asian’, no ?
Explain why the chinese seem to have at least partially given up communism. We know communism is intellectually bankrupt – now, genetically speaking, the chinese of today are no different than the chinese who lived in the 50s, why/how did “the chinese” change their mind ?
does anybody else just find it funny, that most other races succeed in America, are primarily those races that chose to come here. Maybe if massive amounts of black slaves were not snatched, they would learn that the society they live in is not in their individual interests.
I can presume most immigrants that came over were outcasts and the poor in their culture and state. Due to the slow growth and trade of African civilization compared to the rest of the Euro-Asian world, many Africans probably didn’t have high divisions of labor, hence the lack, only until recently, of African immigrants to the U.S. because their talents were not accepted or did not flourish in that society. And most blacks in the U.S. are of slave bloodlines.
So I can see why they do not fit in, in American culture. They have never had a chance to appreciate America compared to their native culture, because most were forced to come here, and then lived a miserable existence for 200 years until they could really LIVE. And do you really think these people take pride in becoming what America views as good. They are a rebel with a cause, to create peace and satisfaction in a place they don’t belong.
And when you feel you don’t belong somewhere, better to be the rebel outcast than the unknown.
And how can this be? Again, such an impenetrable mystery. I just can’t figure it out. What oh WHAT is the common factor here?
And do you really think the Chinese coolies had some distinct advantage over people who themselves were not slaves? Jewish garment district workers? Irish, well, nobody would even hire the Irish to do anything? But I don’t know anybody who’s afraid to walk around after dark in any Chinese, Irish or Jewish neighborhoods.
That’s because you can see the Chinese, Irish and Jewish in the dark.
