When was it, again, that the United States stopped being "Great"?

[HikerGuy83]

If you refuse to recognize the difference between a cheap cap slogan and a slogan that represents actual. detailed legislation that has been scrutinized by the legislature, I'm afraid that I can't help you.

You've never been help in anything.

I know a sales pitch when I see it.

And Biden's SALES PITCH wasn't much better. Being scrutinized by the clown show in Washington is not an endorsement of any value.

Kinda like "You can keep your doctor".

It was never a good time to be black in this country.

I note you failed to answer my question.


And I disagree. FOr most...no, for ALL of our history, it was better to be black here, than nearly anywhere else, with minor niche exceptions.


Thus, my point that America was great, is true. Despite your weird obsession with blacks as though they are all that matters.

White males are diminished whenever they perpetuate racial and gender inequality.

Should a White male be making such pronouncements regarding being Black in America with no documentation? It sounds much like what a slaveholder might tell his property, the unpaid sources of his wealth.

High on my list of factors that had made America great were the strides the nation took toward equality, allowing each citizen to realize his potential and contribute to the nation. rather than perpetuate an historical, ingrained inequality, while attracting the best and brightest from abroad to similarly contribute, regardless of origin.

I’m not black so I won’t speak for them. Perhaps IM2 can help us out.
I’m Native and I can tell you the best time for us Natives to be here was before the white man came.
Please clue me in as to why it was such a great thing to be black in this country.

Feel free to speak for me because your experience is similar to mine. I put Correll on ignore because he's a racist, and that's what he's going to be for his entire life. We were doing just fine in Africa before the white man. And as with your ancestors, we weren't catching the diseases whites had because we practiced hygiene.

That is exactly what I was thinking. We were better off before the white invasion of this land and you were better off before they enslaved you. Thanks.

Citing the historical fact that blacks did better here then anywhere else, as support of my asserting that America WAS great,

in no way "perpetuates" racial inequality.


So, that...whine of yours, has been dealt with. Even if you insist on ignoring the vast majority of the country, and focusing just on blacks, for some weird reason, America of the past was still great.


And will be again. MAGA.


How many successful blacks do you know?

It actually doesn't. That is sounds that way in your head, is a Barrier to Communication, where you are unable to hear my words and consider their message, because of my race.


You are dismissing my words, becasue of my race.


In your mind, because of my race, I shouldn't speak on certain issues.


... .... ....


Liberals. All the self awareness of a potted plant.

If that potted plant is dead.

A lot there to unpack. But I will focus on the two most relevant points.


1. You admit that American was great. Good. BOOM. Thanks for conceeding my point.


2. "ingrained"? How is/was inequality "ingrained"? I inherited only a few hundred dollars. The vast majority of what I have, I earned though hard work. This is true for the vast majority of Whites. Hell, with the terrible education policies of the modern era, most whites start out with heavy debt, not flush with wealth.

The idea that it is impossible to speak on an issue without being directly involved is a stupid and cowardly cop out, that lefties do NOT actually live by. THey just pull that one out when they really need it, to run away from a point.

Other times, they have no problem shooting their mouth off about all kinds of shit.

I’m Native and I can tell you the best time for us Natives to be here was before the white man came.

Really? You would rather live as a stone age hunter gather, than what you are doing now?

I call bullshit.

you know, there is nothing stopping you from doing that now. There are still tribes that live that way, in south america, or the russian far east.

You could go there, and apply for tribal membership. THey might let you in. They might kill you, but that was part of the stoneage hunter gather existance so that would be "better" by your claim.

I would advise against it. But, it you want to be... consistent with your words, that should be a very attractive plan. If you are serious about the shit you just said.

Please clue me in as to why it was such a great thing to be black in this country.

Because generally speaking, with some niche exceptions, blacks here were/are, doing better here, than anywhere else in the world.

And again, it is important to remember that blacks are, and were in the past even more so, a MINORITY.

I'm not sure why you are tryihng to define the nation as a whole by lookiing just at blacks.

It's really weird. Why are you doing that?
