    South Africa in general but in specific Cape Town was devastated by the management of the Blacks until finally the city was temporarily saved.

    If their natural heritage is Africa, why didn't the European colonizers leave them in Africa? Why did they bring the Africans to America?

    And subjected the Native Americans to genocide, abject poverty, alcoholism, and high suicide rates in the process.

    What genocide? The rest of those are choices they made.

    What genocide? 1) The Trail of Tears. 2) Infecting them with diseases that they had no immunity for. 3) Killing them to open up their lands for White settlers.
    The population of Native Americans was almost decimated by European colonizers.

    Those were not "choices they made". What would you do if you were in their place?

    It depends on how you judge wealth. The Native Americans didn't count their wealth the way the Europeans did. As long as they had their health, their families, their homes, and their tribes that was all they usually needed.
    The Europeans on the other hand, wanted to own and control as much as they could. That's why they genocided the Natives to take their land, and bought Africans here to work that land.

    I think people are talking about leaving on their own volition.

    Complete hogwash. Native tribes had hierarchy and the valued material goods long before westerners arrived. Someone in the tribe that controlled more land, more game or more women was seen as wealthier than those that did not. They simply were in the Stone age when Western explorers arrived. They valued things that were valued in the Stone age. Flint, furtile land, and beasts to eat.

    They counted their wealth the exact same way. Based on what materials they had Dominion over. They were just different materials.

    Both of these comments are what you would find on Stormfront. Why don't you go there. You'll be more welcomed.

    You state that as if they purposely went out of their way to infect them with diseases. You do realize that when the Americas was re-discovered by Columbus people didn't know what the hell a germ was? They had no concept of an immune system or how it worked. Blaming them for this is disingenuous at best. BS identity partisan hack propaganda at worst.

    1) trail of tears wasn't the genocide it was a relocation. 2) spreading disease was inevitable. Eventually someone would have crossed the ocean and if it was today or five hundred years from today the disease spread would still occur. That's unavoidable and it's not done on purpose so that's not a genocide.
    3) you're talking about battle. Battle isn't genocide it's War. A genocide is like the Nazis exterminating the Jews. That's not what was happening.

    The majority of native Americans that died during the colonial era died from disease, and as I pointed out that is not genocide. For it to be genocide it must have been intentional.

    He may be referring to the mythical event of where white man gave Indians blankets infected with smallpox or some made-up story like that. But even that fictional event happened long after westerners came here.

    And it wouldn't matter let's say the westerners didn't come here in the 15th century let's say it's the 24th century before they got here. The same thing would have happened.

    You can live as an ExPat in a foreign country and not give up your military pension, VA disability payments, or SS payments. A "good" number of American ExPats do that in Mexico, the fools.

    It would depend were the child was born, in Africa or the USA. If Africa the child would be an American African ( or maybe an American-Afrikan) .

    Fools? Living quite well on the cheap is not a fool. Safety may well be an issue however.

    This is an insert from the article.

    A 2019 study by the National Academy of Sciences found Black men were around 2.5 times more likely than white men to be killed by police.

    In 2019 there were 41 unarmed Americans killed by law enforcement, 19 were white and 9 were black. How in the hell are black men 2.5 times more likely to be killed by police?


    This is an insert from the article.

    A 2020 analysis of 100 million traffic stops conducted across the country determined that Black people were far more likely to be pulled over by police than whites, but that difference narrows significantly at night, when it is harder to see dark skin.

    Who conducted the 2020 analysis? So, a research company has analyzed 100 million traffic stops in the first 6 months of the same year that the traffic stops occurred? Especially during a countrywide lockdown for half of that time. Makes one wonder.


    This is an insert from the article.

    Black Americans face a far higher risk of being arrested for petty crimes. They account for a third of the prison population but just 13% of the overall population, according to Pew Research, a non-partisan "fact tank."

    Black males account for only 6% of the overall population yet commit 52% of the murders in America, according to DOJ and FBI statistics, a non-partisan “matter of fact.”

    #1 cause of death for a 15-34 year old black male is murder by another black male. Murder is the 57th cause of death for the rest of the country, according to the CDC, a very left leaning yet fact posting government agency.

    Abe the Outlaw passed on too late.

    I have been to both the Ford Theater where he was shot as well as the residence across the street where he died. It is my view that but for him, slavery would have ended and today we would not all be suffering the remnants of it.

    Abe died in a very small cramped bed.

    The more you look at this the less sorry I feel for black lives matter and more sorry for white lives should also matter.

    That was called the Liberation movement. It was the plan for after the war, but Lincoln backed out of it.

    I think as part of a reparations package African Americans should be offered $100,000 cash and free travel to any African country of their choice. I am sure those countries would like to see the infusion of cash.

    That is far better thought out than a former blaming whites for the disease.
