    It gets confusing. We were just told in an extensive thread that black populations pre-dated whites by thousands of years. That doesn't stand with your premise "sometimes it takes time". Does that mean they are just VERY slow developers?

    I would say that if we wanted to take about a racist Country, it's Japan. They seem to want to have a homogenous society and control diversity. It's worked pretty well for them no?
    interesting to see you talk about ignorance yet fail to provide any substance other than pics.

    Developed Country is a concept that has been around for decades and decades, not just something i created. Different institutions many have different criteria but generally speaking, a developed Country is one that has a relatively high GDP/capita, amongst other things, that shows the Country has seen prosperity and progress for a long time.

    If we go by CIA world fact book, CIA considers the below developed countries:

    Andorra, Denmark, Hungary,Luxembourg,San Marino,Australia,Faroe Islands,Iceland,Malta,Spain,Austria,Finland,Ireland,Monaco,Sweden,Belgium,France,Israel,Netherlands,Switzerland,Bermuda,Germany,Italy,New Zealand,Taiwan,Canada,Greece,Japan,Norway,United Kingdom,Chile,Holy See, liechtenstein,portugal,US

    Which of these have a predominantly black population? Bermuda?

    and we can just simply look at GDP/capita too.How many of top 30 in this list have predominantly black population:

    Pointing out facts to racists is being "very defensive" these days? Oh the poor snowflakes!! I wouldn't want them to feel I am being defensive, so I'll make sure I am more considerate of racists feelings in the future.

    I'll leave you with this.

    So now you change the rules to suit your agenda that you denied in your OP.

    Got it!

    What does that mean? What do you think of China? China is a Leninist dictatorship with significant levels of state ownership in the economy. They also have very low levels of regulation, they are highly nationalistic, support traditional marriage, women's role is in the household, the government shames unmarried women over 26 (they are "leftover" women), they have conservative opinions about LGBT people, they are racist, the list goes on. China is a Leninist dictatorship and simultaneously one of the most conservative countries I have ever been to.

    PS. I only talk about China, because I, like everyone else, know very little about internal domestic politics in North Korea. But they are similarly a Leninist dictatorship, but one that has never reformed in the way China did under Deng XiaoPing after Mao's death.

    Thousands of years ago, people in the tropics never had to worry about having to harvest and store to survive winters, not to mention ensure proper shelters were in place to deal with cold. It requires a lot more organizing and thought to deal with winters, this is just common sense.

    This doesn't explain everything as it relates to the topic discussed in this thread but why is it that typically the north is more advanced than the south? Cananda has a higher standard of living than USA and USA higher than Mexico. Look at Europe, Norway,Sweden,Finland have higher standard of living than the countries to the south. Germany > Italy and Greece. When we get to tropics, things deteriorate.

    The cold winters force people to organize and develop. This is a well known fact. Again, this doesn't explain everything, just one factor.

    Not sure if this has been mentioned or not, as I don't feel like crawling through the muck of this thread to read every post, but the closest things are probably small Caribbean Islands. Bermuda and Barbados for example are both black majority countries with high standards of living. Bermuda in particular has one of the highest GDP per capita in the world. Though I imagine the racists will point to their very small population. There are numerous other successful black majority Caribbean Islands as well.

    Equatorial Guinea has the highest GDP per capita in Africa, but their standard of living isn't all that high. That is largely because they have a lot of oil and a small population.

    So ultimately the most successful black country with a reasonable population, lets say over 1 million is Trinidad and Tobago. They are small, but not very small. They have oil, but it doesn't make up a majority of their GDP. And they have a GDP per capita equivalent to central and Southern Europe.

    'Developed countries' are so because they were able to industrialise as a result of large- scale theft, based on racist brainwashing. How likely, exactly does anyone suppose it to be that their victims became 'advanced'?

    Storing food for winter already supposes you have enough farmland to produce that food in the first place, which Africa doesn't.

    Africa clearly wins on "extreme conditions".

    Except, you know, Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire, while the Germans were still barbarians and so were the Vikings.

    To be fair though, global climate has changed a lot since then. During Roman times, North Africa was the bread basket of the Empire. Most of the grain came from modern day Egypt, Libya, Algeria, and Tunisia. Today, they are far less fertile countries covered mostly in desert. There was desert there in the past as well, it has just expanded as global climate shifted.

    :fart::fart::fart:

    Next time, just post this, it would be more substantive.

    PS. I can't tell if this is a reference to Hayekian thought about the road to serfdom, which at this point has been thoroughly debunked. Or do you mean like modern liberal are more inclined to authoritarianism than modern right wingers? If it is the latter, that is bat **** ridiculous. Trump has overwhelmingly obvious authoritarian tendencies, in a way people like Romney and McCain don't. The right loves Trump, and generally dislikes McCain and Romney. So spare me the nonsense please.

    Sorry but this has already been debunked countless times...

    See how easy it is to play this stupid little game of pretending that something has been debunked, when you can't do it yourself?

    To quote, well you, I double, triple, quadruple dog dare your to debunk it.

    And while I wait, I'll do the opposite.

    Of course that is all the "liberal media," aka the media owned by the giant corporations that all just got giant tax cuts, so they can't be trusted of course. Which raises the question, how do you actually prove or disprove anything in a world where people like you don't trust legitimate sources? While touting the value of insane sources?

    I guess it doesn't really matter, as you were never going to change your mind anyways.

    Please quote from sources other than the main stream liberal tripe. You can't expect to be taken seriously if your sources are always this pile of excrement.

    This site needs to have a "Racist" section that they can move threads like these to.

    Maybe they can name it STORMFRONT. That way members could express whatever vile ignorant racist garbage they want without polluting the rest of the site with their disgusting garbage

    Oh please! Cite one instance where socialism didn't end in iron fisted tyranny. I'm not talking about communes, kibbutz, or Scandinavian hybrids.

    The Social Democracies of the EU nations have not gone down that path.

    Our own nation has survived the socialism of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Workers Compensation, Unemployment Insurance, SNAP, etc, etc, etc.

    I have posted before: they may call it socialism, but that doesn't make it socialism or communism. Those countries did not follow the tenets of socialism or communism. Maybe you should read up on what socialism actually is before you spout off about it. Try some Karl Marx.

    To quote myself now......

    Maybe you should read the posts you respond to. Those are legitimate sources from the corporate media. They are not from fringe sites or from occupy democrat or something like that.

    I also suggest you check this.

    upload_2018-1-14_23-42-44.png


    Anything not in the bottom left or right is legitimate. You can dispute sources and offer opposing sources, but you can't simply dismiss all legitimate sources as being biased, because they don't reconfirm your partisan biases. That is fallacious.

    what rules did i change? stop posting rubbish like pics that mean absolutely nothing. I can post you impressive pics of structures in 3rd world countries and it means nothing. I didn't change any rules, i just destroyed your post and now you just caved in. Give me substance!
