People started out around northern Africa and spread around the world. Where they went north and became whites, they created nations like France, Spain, Germany and England. Where they went south and became blacks, the created nations like Sudan, Ethiopia, Angola and Nigeria.
What role did the White colonization of Africa play in creating the conditions we see in Sudan, Ethiopia, Angola, and Nigeria today? Who got rich from the slave trade, for example? How did the Indian/Arab contribution to the discovery of Algebra affect European inventions?
Sure, it was the Whites that made these people all poor, illiterate and living in filth, right? If any Whites came there and made money, you've inadvertently exposed an important truth: Put White people in charge of a nation, and you soon have civilization, law, a good economy, high standard of living, innovation, invention, investment, prosperity, education, a strong standing army, and progress. Give a region for Blacks to run and what do we seem to get? Chaos, disorder, disease, poverty, lawlessness, and illiteracy. A people who cannot provide for themselves, a people who cannot defend themselves. We see this even on a microcosm scale when we look at places like Baltimore, the inner cities of DC, Detroit and the like. Put Blacks in charge and the predominance, and in every case I can think, IT DOES WORSE, not better. It slides down into ruin, poverty, and crime. Can anyone truly say that somehow this pattern is IMPOSED on Blacks everywhere the world over?
And perhaps this most speaks to the issue of slavery: people with stronger backs than brains. Had these countries been better managed prosperously, their families might not have been so willing to sell their own people into slavery for the money, and had they made better nations of themselves in the first place, they would have been able to turn away slave traders.
So when it really comes down to it, while Whites are always vilified for slavery, they were merely exploiting an unavoidably practical and available resource that was in front of them, good manpower, but slavery never would have happened had Blacks been more resourceful and productive toward their own ends for themselves in the first place. They made themselves good slaves, just as they make themselves good football players. How many of these players will go on to become engineers, scientists and the like after their football career? Had the Blacks been smart, they would have parlayed their manpower advantage into a valuable tool, an asset for trade for PROFIT.
Bottom Line: Even those who agree with Kapernick's goals and motives say he went about it all wrong. In the end, he's only hurt his own cause, not helped it.
