What have blacks contributed to society?

[Neil N. Blowme]

I like the old days when blacks danced, sang the blues, and didn't whine and moan about things.

 

[reconmark]

Chump is for the person that believes it's intelligent to ignore whole numbers in order to promote an agenda.

We have already had numerous good laughs...we read your posts.

Sorry...the vast majority of Americans understand percentages. Even the guy who sold you out understands them...Eniende usted que negro?
I'll be waiting to hear your ridiculous take on black crime,percentages and whole numbers.....as will anyone with a brain.

I'll be waiting for you to explain why white people overwhelmingly kill other white people, why they rape more than anyone else, why they suck the majority of the resources of the social safety net, etc.

Sorry you made another stupid comment concerning percentages, as your silly statement proves, some people shouldn't touch percentages until they can master 2+2.

However I won't ruin a good thread, proving your idiocy.
I have done it sufficiently in other threads.

You haven't done shit in other threads other than make yourself look ridiculous.
Thank God blacks are only a small portion of the population or I wouldnt have this all white zero crime rate neighborhood to live in.
It's nice to be able to walk around at any hour with no fear of being robbed.

Actually your childish need to follow me from thread to thread while continuously being made a fool off, disproves your own statement.

You felt the need to try to hi-jack this thread with your ignorant braying, not me.
Contribute something to the thread or take your stupid assed posts elsewhere.

Good that you can walk in your neighborhood, I can walk the same in mine, it's zero crime and far from all white, you stupid assed loser.

Follow you? Dont flatter yourself son,I unfortunately stumbled across you.
And anyone who pretends percentages dont count because they dont paint the rosy picture they want to portray,deserves all the ridicule that can be heaped on them.

Maybe if you faced the issues instead of hiding from them.....

If you want to play ignorant about being a thread stalker, so be it.
Anyone can go back to the beginning of this post and see your silly assed comments that had absolutely nothing to do with the topic of the thread and instead attempting to attack me.

Yeah that pretty much shows you as a thread stalker.

The reason for your stalking????...embarrassed because you have been made the fool numerous times on numerous threads.

So you attempt to paint a picture devoid of white on white genocide and rape by ignoring the numbers that stare you in the face.

Oh well, your ignorance may indeed be blissful for you.

Instead of making more of a fool of yourself, either post something relevant to the thread or get the fuck lost...

Honest question. Please stay on topic. List and explain as many items/inventions as you can.............

George Washington Carver invented over 300 inventions from the peanut including coffee, dye and other inventions. I am giving George Washington Carver as an example of an African - American accomplishment. Just one person and over 300 inventions out of that one individual! What a wonderful blessing this man was to our nation and what he contributed to America! If I were going to do two the second would be Ben Carson whose inventions and discoveries have revolutionized neurosurgery and helped many, many people. Gospel music was first introduced by a black person too - so what is your point?

Idi Amin, Papa and Baby Doc Duvalier, the genocidal mass slaughter of Tutsi and moderate Hutu in Rwanda by members of the Hutu majority, all come to mind.

"They do it, too," is hardly a defense of tyranny.

I am full of sadnesss but no sympathy for the poor homo sapiens out there who are so damned obsessed with one particular race, with the goal being to denigrate said race, that all they can post is about said race.

Some people are just plain old sad.... really, just sad. And sick in the head, to boot.

And those people are ruining USMB. At some point in time, 1,000 threads over how racists think about black people is enough. It's a great way to destroy a message board. Not exactly a welcome mat for people who are not white and not racist.

cereal_killer - those are thoughts you really SHOULD consider. Really, you should.

I've been here far, far too long, and today is no worse than it has been in the past. It was worse about a year ago when a group of racists came in, many who stayed.

This topic is of interest to me as someone that enjoys tech and science history. Nothing racist about it. You people are destroying the black community sprit to advance and consider the world around them as you demand that they feel like the victim. Fuck you.

Honest question. Please stay on topic. List and explain as many items/inventions as you can.............

Why focus on an invention or item? Can not they be decent law abiding citizens that teach their children morals and how to be good adults? Pretty sure there are oodles of blacks out there that nobody ever hears about for a reason. They are busy minding their own business, working, supporting their families, respecting their elders, sending their kids to school and college, paying their taxes, buying their homes or are renting and paying on time, going to football games and in general being just like everyone else that does the same.

Why did they come to this forum???

Probably because public race relations boards although a dime a dozen, usually dry up and disappear, because as you can see here, with the exception of a few, the same group of cartoonish buffoons post the same things on a regular basis, and it is usually of a "black versus white" variety, which actually is odd, because everyone is so obsessed with that perpetual divide, that it seems to have been overlooked that the country will be predominately "brown" in the not too distant future.

Back in the early to mid 90's when AOL came on the scene, they had a race relations message board there that would make this one look like elementary school sissy play.

There were some great minds there, and it also had it 's slugs too. That one eventually was overrun with nuts too just like this one is heading towards...JMO.

What is Christian Science Christian Science

The heart of Christian Science is Love. It's about feeling and understanding God's goodness. It's based on the Bible and is explained in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures and other writings by Mary Baker Eddy. It shows the practicality of better understanding God, Christ Jesus, goodness, life, sacrament, salvation, and more. Anyone can find God to be "a very present help in trouble" (Ps. 46:1).

Or "Conservative science organizations" and you get this:

With story after story like this:
Secret funding helped build vast network of climate denial thinktanks

The wealth and benefits science and scientists have brought to this country is incalculable. On the other hand, the last 30 years have shown us the damage and failure brought by Republicans is pretty well known.

Conservatism is a disease of fear and ignorance. Even conservative can't name any policies of theirs that have worked for the benefit of most Americans for the last 30 or 40 years. Call me a liar, but if you make the call, prove it.

The heart of Christian Science is the occult. It is not love. It's a lie and people should steer clear of it completely.

I have never had occult beliefs. But I love Halloween.

Halloween is a high holy day to Satan. Ignorance is no excuse, Dean. You shouldn't celebrate it because you are leaving yourself wide open when you participate. I would avoid any part of it. The appearance of evil is a sin, you know.

Jesus wanted people to help the poor and the sick;

Republicans want to starve the poor and let the sick die.

Why do they claim Jesus? If he did come back, he would smite the GOP for being the rotten cesspool they have become.
