Yep. Seems i recall an actual war that was faught right here in America with slavery being one of the main points of it. About 620,000 Americans died in that one. How many more do you need to die Chris to make you feel better about America’s white population? 100 - 1000 - 10,000 - 100,000? Go ahead Chris, pick a number.

Sorry Chris...

If I'm responsible for the things other whites did 200 years ago, you deserve what happened to the "black people before".

The black comedian told New York magazine’s Frank Rich that racial progress in America is “nonsense” and that the only thing that’s changed is white people aren’t as crazy as they used to be.

Nothing like a high and mighty Negro to blame other races for their race's past and the plantation mentality that permeates the black community today. I think his perception is somewhat one-sided, as oppose to the other perspective:

Nonsense issue: Racial progress in America has been achieved by most Asians, Hispanics, other minorities. But most Negroes, after 50 years of the "Great Society", have not used such opportunities to their benefit. The racial progress of the black community has been hindered by their own attitude and mentality. Racial progress, as respect, should be earned through action, not given as pity. It is nonsense to expect otherwise.

Crazy issue: It's true white people aren't as crazy as they used to be about the Negro and his plight for "equality" in today’s society. We gave them and other minorities preferences and they wanted more until our sympathy changed to apathy. We gave them the benefit of a doubt and got no respect or thanks from the black community, only more blame for imaginary discriminations that do not exist today. We did the right thing. Crazy, I thank NOT. It's crazy to continue the same expecting a different result.

You can take the Negro out the plantation but you can't take the plantation mentality out of the black community. Nothing changes until they change their attitude and mentality. Obviously, Mr. Rock remains bound by the chains of slavery in today’s society. To quote, someone once said "I pity the fool".

First

“Owning their actions. Not even their actions. The actions of your dad,”

Then, he realizes how stupid that statement is.

“Yeah, it’s unfair that you can get judged by something you didn’t do,

Then

but it’s also unfair that you can inherit money that you didn’t work for.”

Who says so? And why is that so?

Inheritance is a form of right of ownership, which is a part of private property rights, which is a God-given right. The right of private property says that an owner has the right to use and dispose of his property as he seed fit. Private property rights are a necessary institution on a free society to achieve economic progress, which is necessary to achieve prosperity.

I haven’t set foot in East St. Louis for years — and I wouldn’t now — but I still have a melancholy affection for the old place. For what it was, I guess.

East St. Louis always had its roughneck elements and areas. Old-time gangsters such as the Sheltons and Buster Wortman operated there. But for the most part, it was once a thriving blue-collar city, with all kinds of businesses and industry — meat-packing, dairies, manufacturing — you name it. Some of my relatives from the ‘30’s and ‘40’s moved there from southern Illinois farms to find work. My grandfather used to deliver cattle and pigs to the stockyards. Back in my high school days, Lincoln High School, now long closed, used to provide a decent education and fielded an invincible football team. When Lincoln came to play our team, we always knew we would be slaughtered.

Seeing a photo such as this, and knowing that this is now typical of the city, only underscores the tragedy of what it has become.

Now I live close to Gary, Indiana. There’s another story for you.

Jeremiah 31:29

‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes,
And the children’s teeth are set on edge.’

30 But every one shall die for his own iniquity; every man who eats the sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge.

Ezekiel 18

The word of the Lord came unto me again, saying,

2 “What mean ye, that ye use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying: ‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge’?

3 As I live, saith the Lord God, ye shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel......

19 “Yet say ye, ‘Why? Doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father?’ When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all My statutes and hath done them, he shall surely live.

20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.

***Slave-trading was the main Arab business in East Africa***

Years ago they asked..”If so, why do we not see lots of blacks in Arabia!”

The answer...The Arabs had a nasty habit of castrating all males for sale in Arabian lands, then working the slaves to death digging wells. Slaves in Arabia were cheap, replacements were just over the hill.

And black people need to own what they are doing right now.

So long as...

- a significant proportion of the black community continues to embrace the notion that everyone else must change, but they do not;
- they keep teaching their children that they are not responsible for their own behaviors because they are born victims and therefore entitled to do unto others what they would not tolerate having been done to them;
- they continue to fraudulently racialize non-racial incidents;
- they continue to be over-represented when it comes to perpetrating violent crimes;

...their lot will not improve and the distrust and disrespect by others will be further nourished.

And ugly incidents will keep happening.
