Black people cry racism so much...

Because they don’t want you to know that with all the government programs, job opportunities, scholarships, and social stigmas, they actually have it EASIER than other races in America..

Fact white people use more of the government programs . https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/news/wonk/wp/2017/02/16/the-biggest-beneficiaries-of-the-government-safety-net-working-class-whites/

Whites get more job opportunities while also making it harder for other races due to discriminatory hiring practices

@GarageSitter Seems more or less the same actually, which is what you'll expect without things like EE and BEE. What the figures don't show however is that overall blacks usually contribute less in taxes so they usually get the biggest benefit.
GarageSitter · 61-69, C
@MeisterAndrew There’s a huge gap in wealth between blacks and whites so yeah they’re going to contribute less in taxes, that’s common sense. You have Nixon, Reagan and Clinton to thank for that.

@GarageSitter or whites make up the majority of the population therefore statistically more likely to be at the top of all those things
MeisterAndrew · 41-45, M
@GarageSitter So who's to thank through the whole of Africa then?
GarageSitter · 61-69, C
@MeisterAndrew lmao “the whole of Africa” Well for one let’s look into that. We got Muslims of African and Arabic descent and then the white colonizers who ransack the continent of its resources, just like in India.
MeisterAndrew · 41-45, M
@GarageSitter So the black attitude has nothing to do with it? There isn't a problem when a nation can't prosper under ideal conditions yet all others around it do so under severe oppression? There is no problem when a nation self sabotages and destroys itself?
GarageSitter · 61-69, C
@MeisterAndrew All a product of whites and South Asians raping Africa of resources. Belgium, Italy, England, and Germany did a real fucking number on the people.
MeisterAndrew · 41-45, M
@GarageSitter Yes blame the past. Never aspire to the future. That doesn't answer my questions. How is it that every African nation that fought against colonialism ended up being colonised by its ally?
GarageSitter · 61-69, C
@MeisterAndrew Well for one you have a really narrow view of Africa if you think the entirety of the continent is a fuck up, also here’s your answer is exploitation of its resources, geographical disadvantages due to Islamic terrorism, fake charities, and corrupted states created by foreign countries, crippling genocide, multinational corporations.All that’s a recipe for a destabilized continent, well most of it anyway.

I got more of these btw. I’m gonna automatically assume you’re one of those guys who think any area occupied by black people are shit holes because it’s run by black people. So I’m not surprised by the lack of nuance of the subject of Africa. It doesn’t take common sense to realize a war torn continent that has a history of brutal colonization and is still being exploited is not going to fare well compared to west. But considering that a lot of you whites do have a tendency to sweep shit under the rug when atrocities brought up, I’m not surprised. Also whether you believe it or not there are countries within the continent that are faring quite well but hey whatever fits your narrative right? Hell I wouldn’t be surprised if you replied with the same phrase
MeisterAndrew · 41-45, M
Well let's look at that, even the countries that fared well in the past aren't any more. Just look at the shit going down in Egypt and then Korea is still a toss up as well. There's nothing south of the Sahara that's really faring well and most of those countries are black and black run.

You can keep saying "a lot of us whites" but the truth is a lot of blacks tend to sweep the facts under the rug.

Why are black nations among the most corrupt in the world?
Why are black nations plagued by genocide from their own people?

You can keep ignoring these things but they exist. Europe was war torn through much of modern times from the Norse right through to WW2 but seem to have fared quite well. It's not your circumstances but what you make from them.

Our women and children were starved and fed glass in English concentration camps but that didn't stop us. We rose above that and created our own education system. We established our own bank Die Broederbond Bank which became one of the biggest in the world and probably the biggest in Africa.

Tell me why black people can't even do the same much less better when given the ideal opportunity. Why is the first thing they do with their freedom to remove a competent leader to appoint a corrupt one and keep him in power? Why do they set up and allow a system that keeps them impoverished and slaves to themselves? Why do they burn down and destroy what there is when they don't get what they want?

Maybe you should rather look at what Singapore has accomplished after moving on from its past. But hey, just bring that up and you're equated to a nazi and labeled public enemy number one.
GarageSitter · 61-69, C
Why thank you for being hilariously predictable in your response. I already gave you reasons why a lot these nations don’t fare as well which means you willfully ignored them. I can’t deny that a lot of these nations are corrupt and guess a lot these nations corrupt dictators were indeed backed by other nations by the US for obvious reasons.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.alternet.org/world/35-countries-where-us-has-supported-fascists-druglords-and-terrorists%3Famp

And for you to come to this conclusion that all these people want these corrupt despots is well... laughable. What’s more laughable is when you bring up your bank I can’t even find it unless it’s due to translation problems but other nothing comes up other secret societies of a nation that fucked itself when they thought apartheid was a good idea, and you see where that got them.
MeisterAndrew · 41-45, M
You're just unable to face the facts. I give you plenty of examples of nations thriving under the same circumstances. What do they have in common? They aren't black. Your reasons are simply excuses when some nations can make it under the same circumstances while others can't and there's one common denominator separating them.

How do they not want corrupt despots in power when they elect them and without backing from the East or West? Apartheid isn't the only thing wrong with this country.

And the bank is now called Absa btw.
GarageSitter · 61-69, C
@MeisterAndrew Again I find this laughable seeing how you ignore a lot of what I said. Africa is a country now? Well shit could’ve fooled me. Also weren’t those elections in Kenya rigged? And again from what I searched up Absa and it’s not even top 20 from what I see.
MeisterAndrew · 41-45, M
@GarageSitter Well keep on ignoring the facts. And where did I say Africa is a country?
GarageSitter · 61-69, C
@MeisterAndrew could care less at this point
GardenSage · 36-40, M
@GarageSitter also whites make up a significantly larger portion of the population.. so when you adjust for ratio, blacks use a lot more government programs than whites....


It’s all good though bro. I’m not even racist.
In fact, I’m SO not racist, I have complete faith that black people can operate more effectively as a community without all the programs which work to stifle you in the long run
GarageSitter · 61-69, C
@GardenSage It’s either we have it easier or these government programs are stunting us, make up your mind.
GardenSage · 36-40, M
It’s literally both. You’re stunted because you have it so easy...
it’s actually not surprising that you don’t understand the correlation. It’s something that seems to be conveniently overlooked by liberals and the black community alike.

If you help the butterfly out of its cocoon, it’ll never be strong enough to survive.@GarageSitter
MeisterAndrew · 41-45, M
@GardenSage They should look at the situation here in SA. For 20 years they had it easy with all the handouts. Now the money has dried up and they finally have to learn to start fending for themselves.
GarageSitter · 61-69, C
@GardenSage My guy, I don’t think you know what having it easy looks like lmao. You’ve conveniently overlooked my points on housing and job discrimination plus. Racially fueled predatory loaning practices, insurance companies overcharging racial minorities and the war on drugs, which targeted mostly black people despite Whites also using drugs at the same rate but never facing the same aggressive police tactics as blacks. Which corresponds with housing and job discriminations, which does correlates with the gap in wealth between blacks and whites. How exactly is all of that having it easier.

Funny we don't have any of that here. Everything is tailored to blacks.
GarageSitter · 61-69, C
@MeisterAndrew Source? Because all of you’ve done is talk out your ass, your arguments hold no weight to them.
MeisterAndrew · 41-45, M
@GarageSitter Sauce? It's the LAW as I've said plenty times. Black people are favoured.
