Have Whites advanced Black culture or held black culture back?

What say you?

Neither. The failure of Blacks to advance and take their place alongside all the other ethnic groups in America is solely the fault of Blacks.

If they are equal, how does one enslave the other?

I don't care.

Whites destroyed black culture. They then systematically suppressed any attempts by black people to rise. Culture is birthright, and once it's destroyed you have destroyed a person's greatest asset.

Are we talking equality or culture? Make up your mind.

by force

Exactly, it's got nothing to do with culture or equality or one would be forced to say that the Barbary pirates were culturally superior to the European Christians they enslaved.

What say you?

I say Blacks have advanced white culture on at least 2 different occasions. Once when they introduced them to civilization and the second time when they taught them it was ok to bath during the dark ages in europe. To answer your first question you need to explain what you mean by equal and in whos eyes is this determination being made.

What does equality have to do with enslaving? Did you mean were whites more prone to being violent?

But you didn't answer the question, did you?

America was built on slavery and has never shaken off the shame.People who were repressed until the 70s will take some time to achieve anything like equity. Particularly when they face racism every day.It might be a century before a black child is born in America who gets a fair shake.

The record of western european countries is even worse.

The British Empire systematically raped,murdered and robbed black people everywhere they found them for several hundred years.
Check out the map of Africa and marvel at all those straight lines that separate the countries. Colonialists have sewn the seeds of pretty much every conflict going on in todays world..

Name one that did so while claiming to be superior and all men were created equal?

Is there a better place in the world for blacks, then America?

But I ask, were blacks and whites equal BEFORE slavery?
