The US is NOT a Racist Country; Except for Reverse (White & Asian) Discrimination
Stupid people across America are confusing the inability of US Blacks to excel in nearly all academic areas as "RACISM!!" Blacks can't do maff, that RAYCISS! --for instance. They can't do Science either. Because they mostly can't do it, they aren't interested in it. How many black software engineers are there?? I'd suggest few because it requires logical capability that is mostly absent in most blacks. How many engineers of any kind?? Not many, maybe 2%? Afterall maff is rayciss, don't you know? Linear thinking is too White!
Furthermore, stupid people across America are confusing that Black's extremely negative reputation for committing murder, violent crimes and property crimes as RACISM!! They richly DESERVE that bad reputation because Blacks commit violence crimes and murders at about 7 to 10 times the rate of White persons! THEY CAUSED IT--Not white people. Blacks constitute 43% of our prison population despite being only 13% of the population. (In reality, it's Black MEN who are the biggest problem, so it's 43% of the prison population and only 6.5% of the general population).
It's even worse for violent crimes: On average, Blacks committed 52% of all murders, 57% of the gun murders and committed 66% of the drug related homicides (1980 to 2008). This statistic is old but the situation never changes---it just gets worse. So Take Away Guns from Black persons, not White persons. Blacks are 5 times less numerous than Whites in the population but committing more than 55% of the violent crime.
Black kids, despite every effort to entice them or force them to attend high school, at least 50+% drop out. And 37% of HS black drop-outs will eventually go to prison. The VAST MAJORITY of blacks just can't perform well at 12th Grade high school levels. It's just a fact, not a judgment. And it's not racism. They just can't do it well enough after 50 years of trying to equalize this group.
A black man became a neurosurgeon and they made a movie about it (called "Gifted Hands.") It's the story about Ben Carson. But when ONE black guy becomes a neurosurgeon and they make a movie about it, it indicates how rare it is (or was).
Blacks are underrepresented among neurosurgeons is the same reason they are overrepresented in the NBA, the NFL, and in many areas of entertainment. It is fundamentally a matter of inclination, ability, skill, and talent. NO ONE IS HOLDING ANYONE BACK except their LACK of academic and intellectual ability and a poor culture and reputation that they created for themselves. NO, WE'RE NOT ALL THE SAME. THERE ARE (PERSISTENT) RACIAL DIFFERENCES. It's the most obvious thing in the world--especially after 50 years of "affirmative action."
In addition to a huge propensity for violent crime, what's "holding US black people down" is their inability to graduate high school (with no real alternative), the failure to speak the prevailing American english dialect, the self-segregation of themselves into separate and very unequal and violent communities, their anti-white racism, bad attitudes, the collapse of the black family (the absence of black fathers), their behavior--the outrageous black-on-black violence, the crime, the ever-present drug dealing, the murders, the HIV infections, the prostitution, hoochie mamas, shameful thugs and despicable rap "culture," the gangs and the large rate of incarceration of black youths and men, their horrible national black "leadership."
DON'T BLAME THIS SHIT ON WHITE PEOPLE
Blacks in Africa never had anything going for them either. Slave trading by black African warlords and Muslims began a 1000 years ago, centuries before African slaves were brought to the "New World." All of the great intellectual and cultural advances unfortunately largely passed them by: Christianity, the Renaissance, the 18th century Enlightenment all passed them by. It really is a sad history for them, until White Christian people began to eliminate slavery in Europe, then America, in the late 18th century as it was felt to be incompatible to Christianity. In contrast, slavery persisted in Africa until quite recently.
War was fought to end the remaining slavery in America (after they were freed in the North at our nation's founding). Then true freedoms and equality was instituted and enforced in the South by the US Federal government during post-Civil War Reconstruction until Democrats ended all that for 80 years.
Then, once again, America has made the greatest effort ever essayed by one race to uplift another:
In 1954 an entirely white Supreme Court unanimously ended segregation. Later it found the use of IQ tests by employers illegal because blacks scored poorly, then found “affirmative action,” racial discrimination against whites, legal (hardly oppression of blacks, this). An overwhelmingly white Congress passed the Civil Rights Act in 1964, the Voting Rights Act the next year. A white President sent troops to Little Rock to enforce desegregation. There has been an enormous flow of charity to blacks: Section Eight Housing, AFDC, Head Start, hiring quotas, set-asides, sharply lowered standards in police and fire departments. We now have free breakfasts for black children, then free lunches, in addition to outright welfare. In aggregate they resemble a distributed guaranteed basic income.
White people should be thanked for their remarkable efforts to redress brutality in history.
THERE'S THE REAL HISTORY OF THIS COUNTRY AND OF EUROPE. DON'T BITE THE HAND THAT'S HELPED YOU! AND DON'T (REVERSE-)DISCRIMINATE AGAINST WHITES AND ASIANS NOW FOR YOUR IGNORANCE , YOUR INABILITIES, YOUR FAILURE AND YOUR POOR BEHAVIOR. BUT THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT'S HAPPENING.
