Answer #1:

Wounded messenger. That was awesome, really an awesome post. A bit long but still awesome. Enjoy your day.

Answer #2:

Well, just stop worrying about blacks and what you think about their backgrounds and nationalities IQ, who cares. I find it weird that within the 21st century, in America, where we have built our nation on being so diverse that we still have such huge race issues and continue to dwell on them. People change all of the time, you just have to let them change on their own.

Answer #3:

Mom dating a black guy?

Answer #4:

Yes you should!!!
You have to be out of your mind to think that an entire race of people is comprised of such bad negative characteristics. Nothing that's stated is supported by facts, just pure dogma.

If so where are you getting your research?

For starters in America, the Blacks have been treated with such dismay and ill will; it starts just as early as elementary school when we, as Americans, learn only the negatives pertaining to Blacks. You make these statements such as Africans didn't contribute anything; the only beneficial inventions in Africa were inventions of Whites or Arabs. To make such a statement shows your ignorance. Read more. Who invented language, math, and astrology? Hell, visit a museum they'll explain how and where everything started including life, it surly wasn't in Europe or by a European.

Have you seen the beautiful sculptures in Africa? Whites didn't invent the pyramids... still tol this day scholars CAN NOT figure out how they created them. It's so obvious that you don't know what you are talking about...I challenge you to take a trip to Africa or just Google some pictures, homes..., because clearly the only research you have is the $0.70 a day commercials that we see on Americanized television.

Blacks are NOT treated fairly when it come to receiving and maintaining employment. Just think about it yourself, if you were a part of the hiring process and you had a choice between a highly qualified Black or a moderately qualified white, which would you choose? The white. Most companies operate and have the same mental capacity as you--thinking that blacks have small brains and are incapable of completing the same task as Whites, when it has been proven that this is not true. Most whites can't stand to see a black person making money let alone have a quality job. Seeing that Blacks are outnumbered to Whites, getting them out of any position doesn't seem like a challenge for non-blacks (What's sad is that African American have to live in a society with people who have the same views as you). The government knows of these unfair hiring practices in regards to Blacks, hence the reason that the Affirmative Action law was implemented. Still in all, this law only applies to government entities or businesses receiving some sort of government funds...Look at the corporate world, most companies don't hire Blacks and if they do, I bet you can only count them on one hand. It's no wonder so many are on welfare; companies are not giving them jobs. And when a person has to live in a society that equates everything negative with them, then I can understand why they are aggressive and violent at times.

Show me or reference me the study that states Black men rape on average 100 white women a day in the US, because from what I know, white women give it up to them FREELY...no rape involved. When I was in school I overheard a white female tell two black males that she would have *** with both of them at the same time. In general, white female sought out black males for *** on many, I mean many occasions, so you can stop with the "100 white women a day" speculations. It didn't seem like the Blacks were the over sexualized ones...

For education and testing, because that's what I'm studying now, do yourself a favor and read "Measuring Up: What Educational Testing Really Tells Us," by Daniel Koretz. He states and references various scholarly research findings that explain how flawed educational testing really is. If you actually took the time to REALLY look at the numbers you'll see that the percentages are the pretty much similar for blacks and whites. To break it down further, there are a large percentage of whites that fail the state exams and a small percentage that pass, the difference is that the small percentage seems larger because the white population is large...

Blacks are disporportionately place in special education because majority of their teachers are white women who think like you...and in result the teachers are not effective with teaching the students because the students can detect it. White teachers can harm and hinder a black student's education is so many ways...diluting or dummying down curriculums, not being culturally sensitive, the school work not being relevant, the teacher not being QUALIFED, ect...(all of which have been proven reasons to why Black students don't succeed on test). There are many studies that state blacks are being place in special education for unfounded reason. How does one need to be taught at a lower level because he or she is consider a behavior problem?
