Listen, you’re obviously an intelligent educated guy but that doesn’t change the fact that as a group blacks are a disaster on every level and by every metric. Instead of coming up with ridiculous excuses and tired old arguments, a guy like you is better off having nothing to do with black people and dealing whatever you get racism you get from whites. It’s better than what you’re going to get from Da hood.
I don't think I've come up with any ridiculous excuses in this thread or in any of our exchanges in the past. I just see things differently than you and I think the causes of these issues are more complicated than blacks being genetic failures.
Lemme ask you a serious question: If you were given an assignment to create a permanent underclass in a country, you had centuries to do it, almost unlimited resources and the ability to influence powerful people, how would your plan deviate from the history of blacks in America? How would you come up with a more successful plan? Keep in mind that the only reason legal slavery was abolished here was as a result of the deadliest war ever fought on American soil and many people claim that the war didn't even have anything to do with slavery. So, if your plan incorporates slavery, let's assume that there would be a similar turning point where slavery is abolished and your underclass is free. Are there any significant changes you would have made ?
I know it's unlikely you're gonna give a serious answer to that, so here's my thing. I know slavery existed in other forms all throughout history, but never like here in America. Never where it was an entire population of people who looked a certain way, with no realistic hope for most of them of escaping servitude. As long and gruesome as that period of American history is, I don't even think it's the era that did the most damage. I think the institutionalized racism- in a VARIETY of different forms- that followed that period is where the real damage was done.
