Poverty amongst Black Americans

[Player35]

How poor do you think that you would be...
If you spent from the late 1500s, to 1865 as chattel bondage enslaved private property prisoner for sale..
You lived under regulations designed to make it progressively more and more dangerous to rebel or try to escape from slavery, as well as to make it less and less likely of a revolt being successful...

And then you were persecuted, every which way possible..and murdered routinely...

Entire towns and villages of your people were massacred every time your people did well?

And currently live under a system designed by racists...
Whereby instead of paying equally for your healthcare...
He will instead not pay for either his own, nor yours...
Which is capitalism..

There is plenty of opportunity in America for African Americans.
In fact, the most prosperous Black people in the world are in America.
Here are 3 easy steps to be successful in America.
1 finish school
2 stay out of trouble
3 be self sufficient

Clinging to victimhood will never move you forward.
It will make a bitter racist cretin that no one wants to be around.

Next Karmic Lifetime, consider being born into a race that was not at the Neolithic hunter-gatherer stage while the rest of the world had progressed scores of thousands of years ahead of yours...

By the way... you can blame your own Black brothers and Arab slavers in Africa for enslaving you... the Spanish and Portugese and English and Dutch et al merely showed-up at coastal ports to trans-ship those captured and wholesaled by Blacks and Arab-Berbers...

Spanish-speaking Central and South Americans, and Anglo-speaking North Americans, merely played the role of Second-Tier Wholesalers and Retail Consumers dealing in (what to them at the time were believably portrayed as) primitive humanoids with limited intelligence but considerable value as laborers...

But it was the Blacks and Arab-Berbers of Africa... some of your own... who set you on that path...

--------

But that was long, long ago, and it wasn't you, nor anyone within 160 years of you, and you've been benefitting from voluntarily-offered Affirmative Action and non-merit-based quotas etc. for the past 60-70 years, so the time has come to stop making excuses for poor performance, and to start pulling your own weight.

Enough of this bull$hit...

Success, or failure, is an individual achievement.

Anyone trying to advance as a collective will be held back by those less willing or able to advance.

Imagine yourself in a lifeboat with little food but a lot of stupid people ... one of you isn't going to starve.

The model to be used is that of the Irish in America. The Irish have been known as the "n*****s of Europe" for decades.

When they came here they took the jobs no one else wanted and built themselves into major political powers in the cities they lived in.

Bill Cosby grew up in the ghetto in Philly with hardly anything. But he went to school, he worked, he made connections, was a successful comedian, and actor and for a period of time had the most successful tv show. Oprah was also poor and she is now worth a shit load of money.

We in this country right now have millions of black doctors, lawyers, congressmen, business owners, fire chiefs.

We had a black president. Twice.

So no, poor blacks are poor because they are lazy, lack ambition, don't care, mooches and just shitty people. It's their fault they are the way they are.

And what about the millions of poor broke ass white people? It isn't like blacks are the only ones with poverty.

If blacks want to be equal then they need to shut up and start acting like it.

You nor anyone else can live that long.

Every human society through out all of history practiced slavery in one form or another at one time or another we all have slaves and slaqve owners in our distant family tree it does not affect one racial group ore than another. Your ancestors and their condition do not influence how you live.

All humans again have been persecuted at one time another which again makes any specific murder and persecution irrelevant.

The system was not designed by racists and the capitaist system has lifted more humans out of poverty ( to include blacks people ) than any other system in history.

Your entire theory is flawed and based on false premises.

I suspect I would be really poor if I bought into all this whiny babbling instead of getting one of the widely available good paying jobs and being responsible for myself and my family. You know, like real Americans do.

So you're just here to fan the flames?

How poor do you think European Jews living in Europe today would be after Hitler killed their grandparents, great-uncles and great-aunts?

How poor do you think American Jews living today would be, given that they can recall the anguish of their own parents as their families in Europe were wiped out because of horrific antisemitism?

How poor do you think younger American Jews would be if they are the direct descendants of Holocaust survivors, many of whom are still living?

The point is that you can point to a persecuted minority who have unspeakable bigotry in recent history, and still have succeeded beyond the average. And without special favors such as affirmative action.

It‘s time for blacks and their white enablers to stop blaming history, and simply adapt lifestyles that lead to success: finish school and don’t have babies out of wedlock when you can’t afford them. That’s how Jew did it; no reason blacks can’t do it too.
