THis is why we as blacks we should nationalize. The current generation won't benefit but if we teach our children how to buck the system our grandchildren will have a chance. We are Moors!!!
Davis,, rome still exists and the italians have prospered in a lot of places throughout the world... AS for blacks having to create their own identity,, well,, their culture is definitly not african, they don't speak african langugaes... The blacks in the USA have a different culture than blacks in cuba,, dominican and africa. Yes,, they may share similiar things, but they have created their own culture... Nothing wrong with that.
Very true. All these ignorant white conservatives (Fox News, Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity) are quick to call blacks racist who are doing nothing but reacting to racism. Rev write Obama's pastor was not a racist. He is reacting to racism which was 500 years off oppression through the white race.
His definition of racism is different than mine,, all good.. So,, a group of black men who beat up a non black, ganging up on him is not considered racism, but if a group of whites do that do a black boy then big problems in the media... The definition of racism is grey...Blacks can call white people white boy etc, but if you call them nigger, ohh myy gawd... blacks are racist too... anybody who hates is racist.
although i do not condone anyone beating up someone else in that fasion i still will not call it racist. alot of black people are upset at the situations they are forced to live in, that whether you believe it or not are caused by whites. If someone spits in your face from another race and you beat them up its revenge not racism. They dont dislike them because of the color of their skin but because they are the same color of those that have wronged them....
Screws,, blacks make their own beds too! nobody forces them to steal, to drop out of free school, to have sex and produce babies. Is it revenge on a white person from italy or russia etc? or revenge on the anglos who brought the slaves? Going on your definition, there were times blacks would shout racism when in fact it was revenge. It's terrible what happened to the blacks in US history, but for them to repeat the ills of the past with clean hands will not be tolerarted.
Forgive me the "y" is broken on this computer. With what u have said being somewhat correct u still have to look at other underl*ing factors of our state in this countr*.

Slaver* has CIPPLED the black communit* which was followed b* jim crow. Watching the entiret* of this video actuall* disputes what *ou have brought up.
screws, there are many reasons why the blacks are in their situation. Blaming the "other" for their problems isn't going to solve anything. Look at the mexicans who are working on farms, and landscapin. Black ppl can do the same thing, but they choose to not do it. Laziness is a big problem. 2ndly, I see the point of being constantly put down, etc.. But, that can only go so far. The rest is your choice to do what you want with what you got.
I do Apologize for giving the notion that I remotel* solel* blame others for our situation. I am a firm believer in taking responsibilit* for ones own actions. I also belive in the truth. The truth is the Racial group that has had the worst crime done to them in the last 2000 *ears and possibl* in histor* is in the worst condition in this countr*. That is no Coincedence. Mexicans did not have their culture and languages destro*ed b* another. Their are so man* variables to this that *ou wouldnt
To be quite honest the biggest problem is *our mentalit* that ever* thing just ended after slaver*. After we were set off into societ* with no education, mone* or help from those who "Set us free". Instead of constantl*. *es we have free schools that teach us nothing that relates to OUR societ* and teaches us white histor*. No one forces us to steal? I guess being hungr*, below povert* level and being treated like foreigners isnt a good enough reason to TAKE what we desire such as *our people
Screws, when I was hungry, I never stole. Is it my fault or your fault that someone was careless, and made babies they couldn't pay for? who is responsible for that? you know the answer! Perhaps the schools should have history as an elective or have various history courses on different groups. That should solve this dilemma.
Understand Looking from the outside in. As an Educated *oung college student that comes from the slums i understand. LAZ* are we? WE have worked twice as hard as whites in the countr* for *ears and havent seen twice the reward. Let the T.V tell *ou what *ou want to hear but blacks are not laz* and far from it. If feeling that *ou should get a FAIR shot in a countr* that WE build off blood, sweat, rape and dispair is laz* ma*be we are. I know plent* blacks that want to work but simpl* are denied
Screws, on being treated as foreigners... Maybe being segregated for many years, blacks chose to act foreign, develop their own culture, language, mentality.. rightfully so, as the other group did not want to accept them as equals. Maybe blacks indeed are foreigners amongst other Americans.
We NEVER chose to act foreign, hell, blacks seek out diversit* more than an* other denomination. It is not other groups that do not want to exept us, it is those groups that have exepted the anglo saxon - American mentalit* to see the black people as enemies and threats. When did we act foreign? When we died to get simple rights that immagrants where given? or when we worked for 100s of *ears to build this countr* for free and never so much as recieved an OUNCE of gratitude for that contribution
Screws, if blacks really worked twice as hard as other groups whites, asians, italians? this I am sure did not happen. All groups were discriminated by the ANGLO's, and do you know what they did. They opened up their own businesses, did not ask for a hand out. This is all done without even knowing the ENGLISH language. Yes, there are blacks who are hard working, who may have been denied a job, but there are a lot who are polar opposites from you.
Through histor* whites have been given or stolen all of their greatest assets. For instence, it was Eg*ptian culture that is the foundation for Roman societ*, most whites most prized historic posssesion. Italians where never discrimminated the same as blacks, nor the chinese for that matter. Black people have worked in the countr* for NOTHING before and after slaver*. This video speaks of a time when we had our own businesses, until intergration, We have never asked for a handout brotha.
Screws on being foreign. I hoped that I explained the concept a bit better. I'll give it another go. Blacks did choose to act foreign. Yes they were forced to come over here, but over time, they developed their own culture, mentality etc. Today, blacks consider themselves a different group, and when it suits them, they are white as other americans. When I hear eubonics, this is foreign. When I see ghetto wear, this is foreign. There is good and bad to this. But, it can be seen as foreign.
Foreign-strange; unfamiliar; from or of another place; pertaining to dealings with another country. Ebonics is homegrown, right from America. Had whites created or know how to use it, it would be considered as American as apple pie. Having our own culture is not being foriegn, it is simpl* having our own identit*. We are treated as foreigners although we have made a great deal of contributions to this countries makeup. We consider ourselves black Americans, but still Americans.
Screws, exactly! having your own identity is seen as foreign. Lets use another word, seen different. Better? You see, considering yourself black american, you are forced to do this. This is wrong if you are forced. When you go to cusoms, when asked for your citizenship, do you say black american or american? This is where being different, be it foreign or having an identity. Will this identity bring prosperity for the whole group remains to be seen. If I was a betting man, I would say no.
Well here is where we just have a difference of opinion and no right or wrong can be derived... i See haveing an own identit* as not being foreign and *ou see it the opposite. HOWEVER, being on the subdject of ebonics i dont see how it can be foreign if it has been used it main stream american Entertainment and societ* for quite some time now. And to be honest more Anglo's would use it if the* correctl* knew how, lets call it like it is.
Screws, the pop culture, is the worst thing that can mold a culture. Every few years something new is in... or song etc.. Cultures that last don't rely on pop culture, but have folk songs for ex. they have dances... The dances from the 80s and music is way different than the dances of the 90s and 00s... its a pop culture. What is in today, is not tomorrow.. Other cultures, what is in today, was in yesterday, last year and many years ago.
@tudman19 You my friend what ever your nationality represent fools gold forced , did you say forced to claim our own identity . Deny your heritage blackie thats the only way you are at least going to get a few crumbs, why don't you be happy, a few crumbs are better then none. How about this one, play the game man, if you play the game your life would be so much easier. I got another one when in rome do as the Romans do LOL, you see what happen to Rome, and all its subjects. Man go get a clue.
Ebonics is homegrown, it is American. Americans don't even speak proper English, OXFORD English is the way it is to be spoken. Instead of ebonics, blacks should learn oxford english and make the others feel foreign for not speaking proper english. That would be the way to go. Then blacks can correct the americans for their grammar. Wouldn't that be something.
Doing that would be something. It would not be unique, however, and that is a large part of our culture. We do things that are different from others tfrom others and hard for others to understand. This in m* opinion, tis the reseon for eaither a ver* strong love for us, or a ver* deep hatred. For america in general, had the masses of this countr* ever taken the time to tr* and understand their fellow dark skinned citizens, like the* have done others, their would not be such a race issue.
Since you say blacks are doing things differently,, this is all good,, could you say it has been a failure for the majority? Look at the asians, or south asians, they are all going to universities, excelling more than white americans. Those 2 groups, go to school, don't cause trouble in school and excel. Other groups, whites, latinos and blacks do not excel as much, cause the majority of problems in school and out with the police.
We have been descrimminated against the most, social*, ph*cologicall*, and ph*sicall* attacked the most. We have been under constant surveillance and have had constant opposition from that of other races. This is wh* our situation cannot be compared to that of an* other race (exept ma*be pure Africans). Ever*one seems to be against the black man no matter how hard we tr* to make things right, even man* africans have taken on the American wa* and declared blacks their enem*.
You are right, blacks have been discriminated against... this is very sad. Being under surveillance, well, a few blacks have wrecked it for the majority, and sadly surveillance is needed. I was watching comic view and a comedian joked how blacks don't pay rent, or car insurance... the crowd was laughing... No wonder, others in society look down on them for that behavior. Everyone is not against the black man. I could say the black man is opposed to any other man but his own kind... it happens..
xrytt at least there would be no bitterness over the terrible things black americans had to endure for centuries. We're not worse than any other human beings. Blacks just have a more bitter story to tell.
Yeah leaving all those blacks in Africa wouldve prevented the white induced genocide of the Native American population; would've prevented Timothy Mcveigh from committing the Oklahoma bombings; would've prevented Nine Eleven and the Columbine massacre and the Virginia Tech Massacre too; wouldve prevented those four little innocent black girls from being blown up in an Alabama church by a KKK member; would've prevented integration and equal protection under the law for everyone.....f*ck you.
yeah youre right ...y'all shouldve left us in Africa.....we would never have deteriorated to the savages we are today if we hadn't learned that behaviour from first the barbaric Arabs who enslaved us by brainwashing many of our own people via Muhammadism and then their cousins, the most savage of all....the whites, who did every thing to bring us down to their level & they were successful,now just like Dillinger,Bonnie & Clyde and this Ponzie Scheme guy,were the criminals,we had good teachers.
(1:24) Blacks can't be racist? what's this man talking about? Just because blacks don't DO and thing doesn't mean that they can't THINK anything racist.
the person who can MOSTLY affect you, your job, housing, etc... IS YOU! NOT the white man. As soon as blacks get that through their head.. that's when they will be happy and successful. who is this man to say and define what racism is? I've met more black racist than any other race. But at least I know better than to judge the next black person I see as a racist. I've been in room where I'm the only non-black and I wasn't treated fairly. There are some blacks who think they are superior. Fact.
Whether they do or not that doesn't mean that you should be hostile or do anything sinful toward these people. I won't let this man give excuses for blacks misbehaving.
You can't prove me wrong so you resort to name-calling? Well I don't care, and I stand my previous comment. And no I'm not a monk, just an Orthodox Christian (A.M.E).
That's the thing you don't seem to overstand yoshi, THINKING in a racist fashion is one thing, but DOING in a racist fashion is another entirely. Historically, blacks have been the least racist people on the planet as far as their actions are concerned. This is the main reason (IMO) that whites were able to gain a position of power, they were willing to take the initially harmless reaction of differences among people and attempt to make their reactions reflect the world. Get your history.
Think ill thoughts of others (including your enemies) no matter what they've done is no excuse to wish them harm. Blacks are so much better than that. And believe it or not I do agree that whites would use horrible means to keep blacks oppressed. But again, thinking/wishing ill will towards our enemies is not and will not be tolerated with me. Period. End of story.
Sounds like you still cling to the Chistian slave mentality taught to blacks over the past 4 centuries in this country. I think/wish ill will only towards those who perpetuate the white powerstructure and the inherent racism, bigotry, violence, and sophisticated confusion techniques necessary to do so. What does taking the higher ground with someone who is willing to subject you and your family to hell, indefinitely, gain you or our people? Also, I thought you'd agreed to disagree with me?!
The 800lbs. gorilla in the room is speaking, now people have to listen! There is nothing new to what Dr. Anderson is saying or to what Rev. Wright has said. Folk wanted to ignore the gorilla, which is to ignore the truth. The truth is right all by itself. Anybody with a grain of common sense doesn't need the truth to be broken down or explained. It is made as plain as the denial America chooses to cloak itself in. Along with the cloaks of arrogance, god complex and tons of others....
I agree with everything that Dr. Claud Anderson and The Harvest Institute stand for. This practice of purposely and consciously condemning everything that is uniquely ours is self defeating, counterproductive, anti-progressive. I read "Powernomics" perhaps 13 or 14 times over and there is nothing militant or even negative about implementing uniquely black solutions for uniquely black problems.
for all the reason there is this type of thinking has this country in the mess it's in NOW. NO one knows enough people from a particular group too judge anyone JESUS DIED FOR EVERYONE!rains on the just as well as the unjust...
wtf he says there getting rich of the blacks prison inmates. haha its the goverment thats paying for the damn soap and shower. Lmao this guys a dumbass
You dont kno what the hell u are talkin about spooncrest i just got out of a week in jail for somethin i didnt even do, and if i didnt borrow from other inmates i would have had to put money on my booking number for my own soap, etc. ur a perfect moron
Most of the prisons are privately owned. its evident that incarcerating people is big business. Q: why does it seem that white people are viewing all the black lectures and making negative comments, trying to defend their wicked ways, or saying things that are just plain stupid??
thats the point in the video. he is saying the government is buying the items from corporations to give to prisoners. you're statment helps prove this point. he stated it was a $3billion industry. the clothes, hygeine products, shoes, gym equip, etc.. that the prisoners needs are paid by the govt. to rich ceos and corporations.
actually your wrong when you think about the amount of money that make from pressing license plates, and laundry, trash pickup across the states..that doesnt equate to a bar of soap or show. They just cut out jobs by doing.. someone could make 300 to 700 dollars as a paycheck. It cost 20 to 40 dollars a day..to pay the cost of each prisoner. They own the prisons, control the prisoner, and do the goverment labor work, Guess who pay for all this..taxpayers
yeah... I'm sure that's why prisoners are in prison... to make license plates and do laundry! Maybe they are there because they really did murder or robbed someone! Maybe the labor they do in jail is to keep them busy and punish them for the shit they did outside of prison. So what if we make some profit by using them for cheap labor? Why not? makes sense.
the company pays taxes on the loot they make from the government, then the government collects the loot form the taxes collected from the people that work for the prison. the government collects what they put out dumb ass. It's a cycle.
Shame on you naryberry. u 4got Africa has been a victim of colonialism. After colonialism, d African nations inherited d deficits of the colonial govt. dey're not complaining, dey're building the continent gradually. dey don't have a voice in the west to speak for them, dats y d western bias media only show you pix of hungry children in africa, avoiding the developed cities there. But again dey aint complaining, dey'll build their own voice, its only gonna take time. u're just ignorant
if it wasn't for slavery...the rich black musicians, movie stars, athletes, etc.. would be starving or dead in Africa. if you really want to give back to your own people... go back to Africa and rebuild it. it's as impossible as the ghettos of the US. because too many lazy blacks who wait for shit to be done for them.
Shame on you naryberry. u 4got Africa has been a victim of colonialism.

But again dey aint complaining, dey'll build their own voice, its only gonna take time. u're just ignorant
i know that africans in africa were victims in the past and still in the present. I'm not talking about africans. i'm talking about blacks in the U.S. who no longer identify themselves as africans, but yet use the african history as an excuse to why they can't get anywhere in life. they blame racism and opression. get over what happened in the past and get on with the future. they want everything to be done for them now, 'cause the ancestor went through shit.
Bingo! Although I won't say ALL blacks are that way. But a lot sure are! If anything, these attitudes are only helping to create new racism among white youth. I try to be really fair about equality, but damn if these people don't make it hard for me to try and remain positive. I've been the recipient of racism many times, yet have never given it out. And I'm sick of being looked at as racist when I'm not!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i think people try to look pass the color of one's skin, but there are people like this man.. who keeps pointing out who's black and who's white. people like him who teach new generations of blacks that everyone is out to get them and they will not amount to anything because they're black.. because the white man will always be there to pull you down.. and technology is your enemy.. because the white man will use technology to replace you. he's oppressing his own race.
@nberry ive been there had white people look at u funny been the only black guy in a 100 yard radius within a company, deal with u unfairly just because they kno they can-get this fact, IT IS WORST TO TREAT SOMEONE RACIST THAN TO JUST USE RACE RETORIC!! By mking blacks aware he is uplifting not oppressing. He's not lying is he? The truth is always good.
I know that blacks have experience racism... but so have I. I'm not black, nor white... I'm a minority who have been treated unfairly because of my race. For this man to think he has a superior opinion, theory, or knowledge of race and racism is somewhat racist to me. He stands there and says blacks are the only people who is victim to racism and only people who can't be racist is just bullshit to me. I can't respect anything else he says 'cause he already proved his ignorance.
You've experienced racism...OK. Have your ancestored been enslaved in a land, tortured for hundreds of years even after your supposed freedom in that same land AND have to overcome societal system designed to keep whites in power an keep others especially black americans in poverty? I doubt it, so you cant really compare. You have no valid point of referece to talk on his experience or understanding of racism because you have not experienced that same treatment for yourself.
Ive had diffrernt experiences with racism, and let me tell you some are WAY more damaging than others. Again you have no clear understanding of what he is saying an you probably never will so stop judging it.
I may speak a lot about racism, and some comments may be offensive to you. But one thing is that I am sorry you've experience so much racism. i just wish you wouldn't disregard others of other race, who may have experience similar racist acts. I hope for racism to end, and I feel that dwelling on the past will not help. I don't mind discussing current racism issues, but slavery is something that can not be undo... so we should just move on ...
you speaking of a world changing event/ to say what coulda shoulda is not fair. this country would not be what it is if not for what happened. like cokely said. "Undo what you did then we can talk about this"
I'm not saying what could've or should've of happened. I'm just saying.. the past is the past. YOU CAN'T UNDO THE PAST! so why not move on... just remember the past and learn from it, but don't let the past cripple you in your future. realize where we'd be if slavery didn't happen. find the positive that came out from history. we've come a long way.
it wasn't just the white men to blame.. Africans were the ones selling their own people to the market. Why blame the present people for the past?

Had whites created or know how to use it, it would be considered as American as apple pie. Having our own culture is not being foriegn, it is simpl* having our own identit*. We are treated as foreigners although we have made a great deal of contributions to this countries makeup. We consider ourselves black Americans, but still Americans.

Screws, exactly! having your own identity is seen as foreign. Lets use another word, seen different. Better? You see, considering yourself black american, you are forced to do this. This is wrong if you are forced. When you go to cusoms, when asked for your citizenship, do you say black american or american? This is where being different, be it foreign or having an identity. Will this identity bring prosperity for the whole group remains to be seen. If I was a betting man, I would say no.
tudman19 2 years ago
Well here is where we just have a difference of opinion and no right or wrong can be derived... i See haveing an own identit* as not being foreign and *ou see it the opposite. HOWEVER, being on the subdject of ebonics i dont see how it can be foreign if it has been used it main stream american Entertainment and societ* for quite some time now. And to be honest more Anglo's would use it if the* correctl* knew how, lets call it like it is.

Screws, the pop culture, is the worst thing that can mold a culture. Every few years something new is in... or song etc.. Cultures that last don't rely on pop culture, but have folk songs for ex. they have dances... The dances from the 80s and music is way different than the dances of the 90s and 00s... its a pop culture. What is in today, is not tomorrow.. Other cultures, what is in today, was in yesterday, last year and many years ago.

@tudman19 You my friend what ever your nationality represent fools gold forced , did you say forced to claim our own identity . Deny your heritage blackie thats the only way you are at least going to get a few crumbs, why don't you be happy, a few crumbs are better then none. How about this one, play the game man, if you play the game your life would be so much easier. I got another one when in rome do as the Romans do LOL, you see what happen to Rome, and all its subjects. Man go get a clue.

Ebonics is homegrown, it is American. Americans don't even speak proper English, OXFORD English is the way it is to be spoken. Instead of ebonics, blacks should learn oxford english and make the others feel foreign for not speaking proper english. That would be the way to go. Then blacks can correct the americans for their grammar. Wouldn't that be something.
tudman19 2 years ago
Doing that would be something. It would not be unique, however, and that is a large part of our culture. We do things that are different from others tfrom others and hard for others to understand. This in m* opinion, tis the reseon for eaither a ver* strong love for us, or a ver* deep hatred. For america in general, had the masses of this countr* ever taken the time to tr* and understand their fellow dark skinned citizens, like the* have done others, their would not be such a race issue.
Screws41 2 years ago
Since you say blacks are doing things differently,, this is all good,, could you say it has been a failure for the majority? Look at the asians, or south asians, they are all going to universities, excelling more than white americans. Those 2 groups, go to school, don't cause trouble in school and excel. Other groups, whites, latinos and blacks do not excel as much, cause the majority of problems in school and out with the police.
tudman19 2 years ago
We have been descrimminated against the most, social*, ph*cologicall*, and ph*sicall* attacked the most. We have been under constant surveillance and have had constant opposition from that of other races. This is wh* our situation cannot be compared to that of an* other race (exept ma*be pure Africans). Ever*one seems to be against the black man no matter how hard we tr* to make things right, even man* africans have taken on the American wa* and declared blacks their enem*.
Screws41 2 years ago
You are right, blacks have been discriminated against... this is very sad. Being under surveillance, well, a few blacks have wrecked it for the majority, and sadly surveillance is needed. I was watching comic view and a comedian joked how blacks don't pay rent, or car insurance... the crowd was laughing... No wonder, others in society look down on them for that behavior. Everyone is not against the black man. I could say the black man is opposed to any other man but his own kind... it happens..

nothing he says can affect you on your job, housing, etc.etc. whites have this kind of power.

the person who can MOSTLY affect you, your job, housing, etc... IS YOU! NOT the white man. As soon as blacks get that through their head.. that's when they will be happy and successful. who is this man to say and define what racism is? I've met more black racist than any other race. But at least I know better than to judge the next black person I see as a racist. I've been in room where I'm the only non-black and I wasn't treated fairly. There are some blacks who think they are superior. Fact.

yoshi3329 2 years ago
That's the thing you don't seem to overstand yoshi, THINKING in a racist fashion is one thing, but DOING in a racist fashion is another entirely. Historically, blacks have been the least racist people on the planet as far as their actions are concerned. This is the main reason (IMO) that whites were able to gain a position of power, they were willing to take the initially harmless reaction of differences among people and attempt to make their reactions reflect the world. Get your history.
sekanitembo 2 years ago 7
Think ill thoughts of others (including your enemies) no matter what they've done is no excuse to wish them harm. Blacks are so much better than that. And believe it or not I do agree that whites would use horrible means to keep blacks oppressed. But again, thinking/wishing ill will towards our enemies is not and will not be tolerated with me. Period. End of story.
yoshi3329 2 years ago
Sounds like you still cling to the Chistian slave mentality taught to blacks over the past 4 centuries in this country. I think/wish ill will only towards those who perpetuate the white powerstructure and the inherent racism, bigotry, violence, and sophisticated confusion techniques necessary to do so. What does taking the higher ground with someone who is willing to subject you and your family to hell, indefinitely, gain you or our people? Also, I thought you'd agreed to disagree with me?!

The 800lbs. gorilla in the room is speaking, now people have to listen! There is nothing new to what Dr. Anderson is saying or to what Rev. Wright has said. Folk wanted to ignore the gorilla, which is to ignore the truth. The truth is right all by itself. Anybody with a grain of common sense doesn't need the truth to be broken down or explained. It is made as plain as the denial America chooses to cloak itself in. Along with the cloaks of arrogance, god complex and tons of others....

I agree with everything that Dr. Claud Anderson and The Harvest Institute stand for. This practice of purposely and consciously condemning everything that is uniquely ours is self defeating, counterproductive, anti-progressive. I read "Powernomics" perhaps 13 or 14 times over and there is nothing militant or even negative about implementing uniquely black solutions for uniquely black problems.

thats the point in the video. he is saying the government is buying the items from corporations to give to prisoners. you're statment helps prove this point. he stated it was a $3billion industry. the clothes, hygeine products, shoes, gym equip, etc.. that the prisoners needs are paid by the govt. to rich ceos and corporations.
Entheogen44 3 years ago
actually your wrong when you think about the amount of money that make from pressing license plates, and laundry, trash pickup across the states..that doesnt equate to a bar of soap or show. They just cut out jobs by doing.. someone could make 300 to 700 dollars as a paycheck. It cost 20 to 40 dollars a day..to pay the cost of each prisoner. They own the prisons, control the prisoner, and do the goverment labor work, Guess who pay for all this..taxpayers
motioncomplex 4 years ago
yeah... I'm sure that's why prisoners are in prison... to make license plates and do laundry! Maybe they are there because they really did murder or robbed someone! Maybe the labor they do in jail is to keep them busy and punish them for the shit they did outside of prison. So what if we make some profit by using them for cheap labor? Why not? makes sense.

the company pays taxes on the loot they make from the government, then the government collects the loot form the taxes collected from the people that work for the prison. the government collects what they put out dumb ass. It's a cycle.

if it wasn't for slavery...the rich black musicians, movie stars, athletes, etc.. would be starving or dead in Africa. if you really want to give back to your own people... go back to Africa and rebuild it. it's as impossible as the ghettos of the US. because too many lazy blacks who wait for shit to be done for them.

i know that africans in africa were victims in the past and still in the present. I'm not talking about africans. i'm talking about blacks in the U.S. who no longer identify themselves as africans, but yet use the african history as an excuse to why they can't get anywhere in life. they blame racism and opression. get over what happened in the past and get on with the future. they want everything to be done for them now, 'cause the ancestor went through shit.

For this man to think he has a superior opinion, theory, or knowledge of race and racism is somewhat racist to me. He stands there and says blacks are the only people who is victim to racism and only people who can't be racist is just bullshit to me. I can't respect anything else he says 'cause he already proved his ignorance.

You've experienced racism...OK. Have your ancestored been enslaved in a land, tortured for hundreds of years even after your supposed freedom in that same land AND have to overcome societal system designed to keep whites in power an keep others especially black americans in poverty?

I may speak a lot about racism, and some comments may be offensive to you. But one thing is that I am sorry you've experience so much racism. i just wish you wouldn't disregard others of other race, who may have experience similar racist acts.

I don't mind discussing current racism issues, but slavery is something that can not be undo... so we should just move on ...
