Where Have Blacks Succeeded?


Every ethnicity (white/Indian/Jew/oriental) has succeeded in their own native lands and the lands of others.

Where have blacks succeeded?

reply

Being the target of racist dufusses like you?

reply

We get it. Racism bad.

But you still haven't answered the question.

reply

They think it shuts down the discussion so they don't have to answer.

reply

They have succeeded in making you sound like an idiot.

reply

But where did that success take place? What continent?

All the other ethnicities built (and maintained) glorious civilisations and cultures around the world.

Where's the black one?

reply

Black sub-Saharan Africans? Have to be careful with some claims. Some people don't seem to know the difference between Northern Africa and sub-Saharan. They seem to believe the people all look like LeVar Burton in Africa. Things that were built by invading Roman, Greek and Islamic armies when they conquered parts of Africa. Credit will be given to more modern inventions such as the light bulb. Alot of the black inventions are improvements on already existing inventions which were not invented by African Americans. Even some black music will have been influenced by country and definitely Celtic music.

Removing fathers from the home?

They've succeeded in driving you nuts!

reply

In a way, yes.

Why, when every other ethnicity has made glorious contributions to history and civilisation (both in their own native lands and the lands they have migrated to) have sub-Saharan Africans failed to accomplish anything in either Africa or the continents they have moved to? This isn't an American issue. This is in Europe, in Asia, in Arabia etc. Everywhere.

But why?

reply

I'd suggest you go and research that a little because there are plenty of Africans who've made contributions to the world. You think you can say you are something because you claim the same color as people who did great things when the only thing you've ever done is to spread racism and hate against black people. Like I said, you're nuts.

Individual accomplishments maybe but as a race, there is a very obvious gap.

Ignoring it doesn't make it go away.

Looking at it doesn't make you racist.

reply

> Individual accomplishments maybe but as a race, there is a very obvious gap.

That is the very definition of racism.

You did not explain how it is you can claim some kind of credit for things other white people did?

Anything?

reply

White people make their own claim as a European race. One need only look at their civilisations and the lands where they are indigenous. The sophistry of assigning accomplishment based on individuals is a mere deflection and for obvious reasons. Obama has achieved more than me.

But only because he had access to one of the civilisations that has accomplished immense things. That civilisation was entirely European in its traditions and heritage. Indians have a similar claim. Orientals. Jews. Etc.

There is only one outlier. Only one.

reply

Ig'nunt

Only one outlier.

Why is it you've ignored the many examples people have given to you?

Black people in the USA were instrumental in the development of popular music post-WW2: Jazz, blues, hip hop. Why do you keep ignoring this?

reply

He's talking about NATIVE LANDS so basically Africa. They didn't really succeed much in anything because they were conquered earlier on by superior races aka colonialists so they kinda got screwed from the beginning. My question is, why did every other ethnic race leave Africa (supposedly where we all began) and only they stayed? Something to think about.

reply

Are you serious with this bullshit?

Umm Rhodesia was a thriving country "The Breadbasket of Africa".... Yeah, so when they kicked out all the White people and renamed themselves "Zimbabwe".... they fell into chaos and starvation, now the country is 3rd world.

What happened?

reply

[deleted]

Racist attitudes like yours make it difficult for them to do so.

reply

I'm also racist towards Asians.

Yet look at them thriving in Europe and America. Look at their monumental civilisations and accomplishments in China, Japan, India etc.

reply

Why are you racist against Asians?

reply

You still haven't addressed the post.

LMAO Wokiepedia.

Is Wikipedia lying about any of the claims it makes in that article?

What sources would you accept for this?
