    Even in Atlanta's VERY racially diverse lot, black guy/white girl couples are MUCH more common than white guy/black girl couples.

    Obviously white males are more racist than white females. Stands to reason really, I mean how many white females murder unarmed black ppl?

    How many white females mutilated black ppl in the Congo not so free state? I would state with certainty that white males are way more racist than white females

    Tell you what Jim unless you live on a compound, you can find a black family in any neighborhood in ATL. It might be 3 or 4 you can't, but for the most part you better believe its a black family in there somewhere.

    It was more equitable back then because the wealthy--usually the ones to benefit from such things--were paying higher taxes at the time.

    Genius, check the black amd white populations in those counties starting in the 90's. The whites have been moving out and blacks have been moving in.

    For black males dating a white girl is a status symbol. It isn't so for a white male dating a black girl.
    Violent black on white crime far outweighs violent white on black crime.

    Given the number of black on white rapes I suspect not as many as who would like to.

    Given the number OF bombs dropped by whites on Africa and asia I would say you have it twisted, unless you think its perfectly ok to have your body splattered into 1000 pieces.

    Avarice and voracious thirsts for power are color blind as well as being inextricably woven into human nature. It would be naive to see otherwise even while wearing rose colored glasses.

    technically no. Less advanced tribes think material wealth is the answer to life's purpose. Those less advanced yribes are those who are recently experiencing civilization, ie Europeans whose lust for material wealth is insatiable.

    Romanticized utopian views of a past purity is not reality. In fact it's quackery if being taught to you.

    That's all true, but that's a totally separate issue from reparations for slavery. Are you arguing there should be Jim Crow reparations?

    More revisionism. Just stop, you're embarrassing yourself.
    The history of Ireland 800–1169 covers the period in the history of Ireland from the first Viking raids to the Norman invasion. The first two centuries of this period are characterised by Viking raids and the subsequent Norse settlements along the coast. Viking ports were established at Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Cork and Limerick, which became the first large towns in Ireland.

    Ireland consisted of many semi-independent túatha, and during the entire period, attempts were made by various factions to gain political control over the whole of the island. For the first two centuries of this period, this was mainly a rivalry between High Kings of Ireland from the northern and southern branch of the Uí Néill. The one who came closest to being de facto king over the whole of Ireland, however, was Brian Boru, the first high king in this period not belonging to the Uí Néill.

    Following Brian's death at the Battle of Clontarf in 1014, the political situation became more complex with rivalry for high kingship from several clans and dynasties. Brian's descendants failed to maintain a unified throne, and regional squabbling over territory led indirectly to the invasion of the Normans under Richard de Clare in 1169


    I can keep refuting you all day, you make it too easy.

    They don't want to leave the black neighborhoods, they want to leave the crime that is allowed to go on in some black neighborhoods.

    The reason is irrelevant, an injustice was done to a group of American citizens and those citizens were NEVER given restitution for the injustices that were done.

    Again genius I remember when Forsyth county was all white, go to Forsyth county today.

    Well that's...interesting I guess. But reparations for Jim Crow isn't a movement I'm familiar with. Who would be eligible for that? Just blacks who lived under Jim Crow? So no northern blacks or blacks born in the post civil rights era?

    But in any case that would be the subject of another thread. This one is about reparations for slavery.

    They are one and the same in my book, because Jim Crow segregation was just another level of slavery basically.

    Well your book is your book, and seems rather disconnected from reality.
