Is America Becoming a Hispanic Country?

In the case of the black people, they really didn't have a chance. Do I have to remind you that they didn't come here voluntarily?

 

I thought it already was.

 

Yeah it sucks that other black people captured and sold them. They should have thought that through a little more, and used their time better. Maybe they could have accomplished something instead.

 

That's a different discussion.

But back on topic...

America: Built BY white people FOR white people!

 

The angry buddhist just gets more bitter everyday. Instead of achieving enlightenment, I'm afraid he's going to dissolve into a puddle of bile.

 

And the ones that stayed in Africa couldn't pull their own Boston Tea Party and eventually build their own powerful, rich and world-policing "America" because......?

 

Go read Guns, Germs, and Steel. All of your questions will be answered.

 

This.

 

Way too much creepy racial triumphalism in that article.

 

At one point, the Christian world was one Charles Martel away from being just another Islamic caliphate.

how quickly history and destiny rise and fall to favor or spite the great powers. so quickly, that one wonders if arrogance of this degree in one's country can ever be healthy.

Or if Alexander had not died prematurely there might never have been an Islam to begin with.

 

Right, because the "What if" game is always so meaningful.

How here studied under professors who witnessed the end of Apartheid in person?

I don't need another lesson in why Africa is in its mediocre state today. I just think the "durrr america not built by white people" notion is ridiculous.

 

Well you seem to know a lot about the dynamics that led to the disparities in regional development that we see today. Why don't you answer your own question for us?

 

But what about UCLA?

 

Are you really this dense?

 

Ahh. dbag, this is about what I expected.

 

Let's see what you've done so far: presumptuous and condescending attitude based on misunderstanding, pretentiously tossing out a book name, more misunderstanding, unfunny insult...

Feeling like a badass tonight?

 

You should give a little more detail to your rhetorical question like why you think colonialism, government corruption/mismanagement, 0 culture of democratic governance, and heavy indebtedness has no role to play in creating an African Tea Bagger.

 

db, you've got me all wrong. I can't even fill out an eighth of a blank map of Africa, nor have I had even one professor who personally witnessed the end of apartheid. And I'm sure your reading list on the history of Africa dwarfs my own. So, I'm just hoping you can give us some insight on-
