    “strange and ever restless little nomads”
    you gotta love the derogatory mindset.

    I think what matters is how do we decrease the racial discomforts on and individual basis. It’s all about the home, the kitchen table.

    where the you get your knowlege from cause it’s all off wack.. research dr. jonv hendrik clarke, dr. ben yosef joconnan, rev. phill valentine, rev, ray haggin, dr. sebi, there’s a long list of true knowlege out there . but that miseducation you speak is very ignorant in the less offensive since of the word

    Also, “blacks” in …
    Also, “blacks” in the USA are on average approximately 1/3 European. European blood runs through the veins of “blacks” in the USA. As Prof Gates’ studies show, it’s not Native American blood, as is so often alleged, it’s the white mans blood. That’s not all from rape or forced what have you, or from the time of slavery either. If whites were a 1/3 African, would they be “whites”, or “coloreds” as “blacks” used to be designated.

  6. Grendo147 says:

    &, I checked and …
    &, I checked and you are wrong China is the largest polluter on Earth today. Here is the point, the modern world is built on the back of European inventions. The Arabs were the cradle of civilization at one time, but that’s where they stayed, in the cradle. &, your logic has a fatal flaw in it. The Japanese completely copied the Europeans & industrialized rapidly, but nobody would lessen the power of the Japanese, & their ingenuity and society because they went western. Now the whole world has.

  7. Grendo147 says:

    I guess technically …
    I guess technically you are right that the blacks who defeated and sold other black people weren’t racist, but actually given the amount of ethnicities and what happened in Rwanda, you are probably wrong even on that. The Arabs definitely were picking nubians, which were identified by color, in droves. So, you are have a clear bias and twist in facts. You actually seem quite racist saying things like “smelly twisted lies of white folks” etc, etc. It seems you drink the poison you cry about.

  8. Grendo147 says:

    The Jews did not …
    The Jews did not bring that much knowledge to Europe. The Arabs accomplishments were studied and vastly advanced upon by Europeans who went to war. That is the sign of intelligence, like the Japanese, to study and rethink and improve. In fact, Japan was a feudal society just 150 years ago. The Arabs fell far far behind and have never had the “reformation” they so badly need. Anyway, you know you have lost it when you go back to ancient times in your argument, and even then are wrong.

  9. Grendo147 says:

    That’s not true. …
    That’s not true. The Arabs took blacks slaves. And, many more of them. That’s also not true, even though many blacks live in huts today, most whites did not even back then. The amount of knowledge attained through events like the Crusades, etc has more then been many times over quantum leaped by just pure 100% european creations. One need only travel to see it, and use your ears to hear it as English has become the world language.

  10. kphilj says:

    It was the Jews and …
    It was the Jews and Arabs who brought so much knowledge and understanding of medicine and hygiene to the Europeans. They had access to many of the works of the Greek philosophers that had been lost (but preserved in Arabic). Plus they brought knowledge of geography, shipping, architecture, mathematics, and engineering when most White people were living in huts. The Jews and Arabs had been using hygienic practices for centuries before Europe discovered its importance…

  11. kphilj says:

    Slavery and …
    Slavery and servitude was prevalent in most parts of the world as far back as biblical times. However, it was the Europeans and White Americans who developed the system of slavery based on the color of skin of African people. Then they created a whole proganda machine to humiliate Africans and African-Americans and exonerate themselves. The commentary in this clip is just one small example of White arrogance, twisted truths, and outright lies…

  12. Grendo147 says:

    Whole African …
    Whole African Kingdoms were based on selling slaves. They the key orchestrators.

    Everyone in the USA thinks it was like Roots with a whiteman and a net hiding in the bush. It didn’t work like that. Just ask Prof Gates head of African American studies at Harvard. I was just quoting him.

  13. Grendo147 says:

    On slaves.

    & of …
    On slaves.

    & of that number only a small percentage came to the United States.

    strangely you are missing the figures for the Arabs, which predate records, but is astronomically higher.

    &, what you say doesn’t make sense. “orchestrated”?. Yes, the defeat, capture, and selling of the slaves (that was the end of the Blacks caring about orchestrating) was done by Blacks. Without them and their orchestrating, their could have been no Arab or European orchestrating to begin with. You are in denial

  14. Grendo147 says:

    And, I don’t think …
    And, I don’t think eating monkeys, and fecal contaminated boar intestines, as I watched Bushmen lovingly devour, is all that sanitary.

    Not to mention having sex with a virgin to cure your HIV. This is modern times I reference.

  15. Grendo147 says:

    Jews? The Jews …
    Jews? The Jews were in Europe at the time. Also, you are dead wrong about the Plague it came from Asia and killed many throughout the middle east as well.

    The whole not bathing thing, is actually way over done. I took a whole course on the period years ago that showed how that was not so accurate, but that is so irrelevant now. Anyway, doctors didn’t even realize how sterile they had to keep their instruments until recently.

  16. kphilj says:

    Some discoveries …
    Some discoveries were made in science and medicine by European researchers in the face of extreme situations caused by war and also by the lack of hygiene. The Bubonic plague reduced the population of many parts of Europe… Other dieseases led to new discoveries. Eventually Europeans learned that being hygienic (taking a bath) was important – something that Jews, Arabs, Africans, Indians, and others had known about centuries before.

  17. kphilj says:

    I agree that China …
    I agree that China and India are big polluters, but the USA remains the biggest polluter in the world, along with Europe and Russia.

  18. kphilj says:

    That is not the …
    That is not the facts of history, Grendo147. 30 million Africans transported to the Americas to serve as slaves for Europeans. That wasn’t orchestrated by Africans… You’re in denial!

  19. Grendo147 says:

    Also, in terms of ” …
    Also, in terms of “endless wars” in Europe you are right. You know you have a lot of wars when the “100 Years War” was closer to about 120 years long! But, war is the mother of ingenuity, and war, ironically, has led to some of the greatest breakthroughs in medicine and science that benefit us greatly in peace.

  20. Grendo147 says:

    To show you how far …
    To show you how far off most extreme liberal go green people are, the South Pole is not only not shrinking, it is expanding! Yeah, chew on that. The south pole is expanding. Also, do you know who are the greatest polluters? CHina, and INdia.

    Again, the whole Khmer Rouge thing ain’t going to happen again. And, it would never happen here. We have too many guns to heard us into the woods like Pol Pot did.

  21. Grendo147 says:

    Again, the slave …
    Again, the slave trade was done mostly by Africans and Arabs, Europeans played a secondary role, so you are basically saying the Africans and the Arabs, and also to a lesser degree the Europeans in terms of slave trading. Arabs castrated their slaves. Also, you have bought hook line and sinker into Al Gore’s BS. he poles are not both shrinking! The Brit’s made his movie mandatory reading, and then they did a study that showed it had 16 major factual errors in it it and removed it from schools

  22. Grendo147 says:

    It’s not a disney …
    It’s not a disney movie, “back to nature” is brutal rarely ends up in anything but authoritarianism and back breaking work. You want to see what back to nature brings to an an urbanized society? Look up Pol Pot.

    It is convenient to say a “small number” when in fact whole peoples roamed around with machetes in Rwanda, etc, etc.

    Also, the KKK? The KKK is not even a blip on the historical radar. There are plenty of BLack Hate Cults that killed more recently in the USA.

  23. kphilj says:

    You forget about …
    You forget about the endless wars in Europe, as well as the Spanish Inquisition, the Holocaust, the Slave Trade, KKK, the extermination of countless Native people in South America, Apartheid, the poisoning of Aboriginal people in Australia…and the list goes on. Europeans have been just as brutal as Africans at different times. The vast majority of Africans are peace-loving people. A small number of bandits, thugs, and fanatics seek to use intimidation and terrorism to get their way in Africa.

  24. kphilj says:

    Well, I think we …
    Well, I think we now have little choice but to go “back to nature.” The planet is sick because of so-called “modern civilization.” The Poles are melting, the climates are changing, the oceans are polluted, and the land is a garbage dump… I don’t believe the Pygmies or other groups are responsible for that. It’s us in the so-called “civilized world” with our religion of consumerism, along with those who try to imitate us, who are messing up the planet.

  25. mparker18311 says:

    Africans are more …
    Africans are more aggressive than their European counter part. This is due to generation after generation living in the roughest terrain on Earth and having the week non-aggressive Africans die off. This is why we see Africans in sports, gangs, and in prison. Of course this doesn’t apply to all Africans, but certainly it applies to the majority.
