Who and what constitutes the collective history, that's a dicey subject. I don't want to be be lumped into a group of people that used to own slaves because I have a something in common with them because of something as random and superficial like skin color. It's tantamount to racial profiling or original sin . It's absurd .Well, perhaps blacks might lose their romantic sentimental notions of Africa, or of Islam: Africans and Muslims were the major contributors to slavery. Step back and think that through. Blacks hunted down and sold their brothers into slavery, Muslims 800 years ago up till now don't have a problem with slavery. Why didn't Malcolm X or Mohamed Ali or other black converts to Islam know that basic fact?
I wouldn't guess that blacks embrace the most damning aspects of their heritage ... No more than anyone of another race would embrace theirs.
There isn't and ethnic group on the face of the Earth that hasn't had its share of slavery or misdeeds.
No race is free from guilt ... We all share that common bond.
So what if someone wants to celebrate the more noteworthy accomplishments of their culture?
So what if they do so without getting mired in the atrocities we all share (collectively not personally)?

The Brits moved away from it voluntarily without a civil war decades before we did via a bloody and utterly stupid civil war, and we have still yet to come to our senses over it. It is not that no one else engaged in it, it is rather that america touts itself as "exceptional" when it reality it is anything but. As you have rightly pointed out here.
You are responsible for your own way in this life. And again, color has nothing to do with it. Intestinal fortitude has everything to do with it:
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
Intestinal fortitude is not why whites have what they do. Laws depriving others of opportunity is.
Bullshit. What law prevents you from excelling that my daughters are privy to and you are not?
I'm probably much older than your daughters.
Laws kinda have to be followed. I know you understand that concept don't you? Other than that they are words on a piece of paper. So I am to presume none of you racists never held a job, or a position of responsibility as you live your lives thinking we are inferior and naturally dumber. And I guess that although you think we are inferior, dumber, criminal and fuck everything up wherever we go, that you are able to practice fair employment and equal opportunity.
Sure, yeah.

Nope, not saying that, I think we need to step back here and look at the way blacks contributed to slavery and stop this racial profiling of all whites as gaining from slavery. I can assure you that is a stereotype and I am poor and being white isn't some kind of saving grace. I resent being painted with such a stereotyped broad brush.Who and what constitutes the collective history, that's a dicey subject.

A collective's history would be one associated with the race or ethnic group.
That is why I made the exception towards "personally" ... Not everyone is responsible for the actions of the collective ... Some people choose not to participate.
Your comments express your desire to understand why Malcom X and Ali embraced their African roots ... But didn't embrace the atrocities associated with that collective history.
My point is that we cannot nitpick one race or another about what they choose to embrace about their culture.
No ethnic group is free from atrocities ... Nor should a member of that group be expected to be held accountable for actions they had no part in.
If you want to suggest that African Americans should not embrace their African culture due to its ties to slavery ... Well it would be kind of hard to expect them to embrace American (or any other) culture ... Due to their ties to slavery or atrocities.

I never suggested you should be painted with any brush.
I only suggested you shouldn't be whipping out a brush and trying to paint Ali or Malcom X.

Then how is this possible?
The range of scores has been adjusted so all of the "white" scores are 100. Then the results for the other races are comparable on an equal basis, above or below.
Those damn Asians ... The test is racially biased towards them.
Just kidding ... I have no idea where your data comes from.
I really don't see how it solves any problems ... And I don't use race as a qualifier for anything important.

What happened to whites when they regressed back to cave man status and Blacks had to come save them?Not if you ask Africans who live above and below the Sahara desert. Secondly there were tremendous civilizations that existed south of the Sahara.
So what happened?
Provide your links that support your claim...What happened to whites when they regressed back to cave man status and Blacks had to come save them?Not if you ask Africans who live above and below the Sahara desert. Secondly there were tremendous civilizations that existed south of the Sahara.

Offer up the links to support your claim, or STFU. No one... And I do mean absolutely no one is obligated to just take your word for it. We both know why you are unwilling to try and substantiate your claim. And the board knows why, as well.Provide your links that support your claim...What happened to whites when they regressed back to cave man status and Blacks had to come save them?Not if you ask Africans who live above and below the Sahara desert.

So what happened?
No, that's not going be done. You are a proven racist. It is a waste of time even trying to discuss anything positive that has been accomplished by backs to you.

nothing EUROCENTRIC about it-------races are determined---by guidelines involving various physical
features---generally GROSS ANATOMY-----
Human beans is ALL ONE SPECIES------and ALL VERY GENETICALLY MIXED-------sorta like dogs----and in botany---capsicum. "race" is a very very blurry issue. There are ABSOLUTELY no variations by group or race of the HUMAN BEAN BRAIN

You must be drinking again if you think I am babbling. Herodotus for starters. You know. The Father of Western Civilization?Thats not what Ramases DNA test says or even the white historians that saw the Egyptians in person.Whites have always claimed the ancient Egyptians were white even when that was impossible due to the lack of sun screen.. You guys yearn for relevance.Not sure anyone said they were "white"...
Egyptians were not Black, or White, but rather Mediterranean.
You are babbling again. The "white historians"? What "white historian"?
I only taught you that chattel slavery and indentured servitude was not the same as you whites seem to think it is. Its not my fault you guys are too dumb to get the difference.Why dont you tell me who they enslaved? Its obvious you dont have a clue.
If you want to suggest slavery is an adequate sign of advanced civilization ... Then you are truly past any help I can offer ... No matter your insults, nor excuses.
But hey ... I am comfortable with your response ...

You only suggest...could you be any more condescending?
Happy to oblige.
IQs of Races in the United States

Here I’m going to go over the median IQs of the main races in the United States. There are 4 sources for this.
And in this we will be looking at the scores for these racial categories – whites, blacks, hispanics, asians – and pacific islanders and american indians where available.
- The IQ Studies
- SAT scores
- ACT scores
- NAEP scores
- TIMMS and PISA scores

None of those measure raw intelligence but they sure do offer hope to desperate racists.Then how is this possible?

The civil war started over slavery as the defining issue and has been white wasted by the losers ever since.The Brits moved away from it voluntarily without a civil war decades before we did via a bloody and utterly stupid civil war, and we have still yet to come to our senses over it. It is not that no one else engaged in it, it is rather that america touts itself as "exceptional" when it reality it is anything but. As you have rightly pointed out here.
As you know, or should know the UNITED STATES is just that, a group of states which voluntary joined together as SOVEREIGN states. The Constitution lays out the specific responsibilities of the Federal Government leaving ALL OTHER responsibilities to the individual states.
The Civil War started because the South was declaring that they, as sovereign states, had the right to make their own laws. They considered themselves sovereign states. The Emancipation Proclamation was not signed until Sept. 22, 1862. The Civil War began in 1861.
