One Of The Best Black Men

Very impressive - I'm a big admirer of Dr. Washington. One question though: where is the rest of this? It just ends abruptly.

This is very helpful! I have one question though...the first quote, the first part - where and when does he say it?

Wonderful!

@THEMONITOR72 Interesting to speculate if there were no other groups in the US except whites and Asians. Then America would be 63% white, 37% Asian. And what kind of Asians? Just like 90+% of US blacks are slave descendants of primarily West African blood, could our theoretical Asian group consist of 90+% East Asians (Japanese, Chinese, Korean) and Indians from India? Wow! America would be the smartest, most productive and powerful country EVER.  Safe and clean. But no blues and jazz? ;o(

@THEMONITOR72 I think history has been revised to make radical racist whites look much more powerful than they actually were, and to minimize black inefficiencies and lack of collective will. How you can tell? Look at blacks today. It's clear that they never had a glorious culture that was taken away. The problem is that they never developed the requisite cultural impetus to groove with modern civilization to begin with. Once blacks understand this, they can inaugurate their progress TODAY.

CONT... Because without us you would be closer to the bottom. Do you believe if there were no other ethnic groups here save for whites and Asians that your experience would remain the same??? You need to get over your fascination with the Black experience here in America. You have no substance to bring to these discussions. GDAY!!!

@takfam07 Blacks could have followed Booker but he couldn't offer them protection from jealous whites who would resent uppity Negroes. The whites would riot, rob, destroy and steal Black property. It's been done many times, look up 'Black Wall Street' and 'Rosebud'. Whites used fear to prevent Blacks from doing all of the things you speak of, and with local government approval. You know absolutely nothing of the Black experience and should be thankful for our presence here...

@kagerone Racism will always be there. It's how a culture deals with it. Imagine if tomorrow, the 30 million blacks in the US suddenly became "avatars," guided mentally by a random group of Chinese, Japanese and Koreans for the next 30 years? "Blacks" would FLOURISH. They would start ramping up immediately. It isn't "racism"--it's culture. There was damage from slavery, but unfortunately African culture did not provide the memes to deal with oppression from advanced cultures to begin with.

@kagerone If blacks still had their full-on Negroid features, but were distinctly East Asian in their thinking and behavior, do you think their saga would've been exactly the same? Now THAT'S the question. That's the litmus test on the impact of white evil on black failure. You see, peoples the world over have been slaves, and owned slaves--slavery was NORMAL until whites ended it. Before that, black culture came to dominate the slave market by the 1500s-- why do you think that is?
