Oh please, Africa's problem is genetic. They have gotten poorer since Europeans left, which they shouldn't of. You can't give people 5,000+ years of advancement and expect them to be able to take it.
By the way, you didn't answer me. Can you please name some Black African (from Africa) inventions?

Most have been, especially in the past 500 years. And again, answer the question above.

Truth is not racism.

And so do Blacks in the United States, as every citizen. I don't see many heading off to Liberia which was established by former American slaves. And yet... look at it now.

You really have trouble arguing. I didn't excuse slavery. I made the point it was the progressive Europeans who abolished it. Slavery still exists, and has always existed in Africa. Go figure, eh? Evil Whitey I'm sure.

Whites voluntarily abolished it on their own. Are you saying Blacks are incapable of doing or the same or that it is so ingrained in various African cultures it is a part of their way of life?

Like I said eariler, this country became a superpower on industry. Not agriculture. Furthermore, very few (very few) Americans owned slaves. This country was NOT built on slavery. It wasn't a 90% White population sitting around and doing nothing.

And Germany? Italy? France? Come on now. Then again, a countries economic standing and wealth often correlate with IQ.
Hell, South Korea turned itself around in a relatively short time period when given the technology to do so. Genetics, I assume. Hell, Japan the same.
Boers in South Africa found grass and turned the country into Africa's largest economy.

This country was not built on slavery. What do you not understand? The South was bankrupt and devastated after the Civil War. We didn't become a world power until coming out of the 2nd world war. Are you saying those wealthy European countries, somehow became wealthy based on a slave trade they didn't participate in, or because they are highly educated (with technology, books, etc written by other Europeans) and continue to invent and build?

You have illustrated nothing Casey. You've resorted to insults and turning arguments around to make it look like you actually know something.
At the end of the day, this is a rather pointless argument. I think Europe should be for Europeans, Asia for Asians, Africa for Africans, etc... Yet, it's only White nations of the world being told becoming a minority in your own country is some sort of benefit in the face of a hostile third world population. Despite the fact no other people or continent has such a suicidal policy. At least Japan is knows how to do it, they don't have the media bombardment of lies, crime cover ups, etc.
I got a great deal on the Thin Finn in organic Dry Ecru at Gilt Club. I was pretty happy with them but spending a good penny I was hoping I would get a great Nudie worn out look. but the crotch...
These jeans are one of my favorites, they are sort of western! I wear them when my boyfriend takes me country dancing. I will admit, they are one of the hottest jeans for any rodeo, country...
I love these jeans! I had wanted them for awhile, and decided to finally get them. The price is not bad at all considering the cost of most other premium brands. I loved the "moto" look of these...
Diesel jogg jeans are not exactly what Diesel tries to sell them as. Diesel tries to sell them as sweat pants that look like denim. The fact is they are denim that are soft like sweatpants....
Diesel really out did themselves this time. The Braddom is a regular straight leg fit that tapers down to a slimmer opening. The fit is very comfortable and the tapering really makes them...
