White KKK vs. Black KKK (kudos to Jason Whitlock)

In currently times, the approximate number of blacks and whites killed by “black on black” and “white on white” crimes is equal to about the same number.

Therefore, about 5,000 black Americans are killed each year due to failures in black America.

Today, murdered Americans of African descent are chiefly murdered by other people of African descent*. In contrast, the number of Americans of European descent murdering people of African descent are extremely few. But wouldn't consider the African descendants murdering others of African descent to be another klan.

Its more about motive than crime. The first group of murderers murder those of African descent because the victims often live in their own communities and there is a perception that if a human of African descent is murdered, then that is just another statistic, and only pretty--and usually blondes--women actually elicit action by society at large. Even police are stereotyped as looking over the murders of those of African descent. So, Group 'A' (African descendants) murders others of African descent because they are perceived to be an easy target. Group '1' (the klan) murdered people of African descent out of hatred and the belief that those of African descent had to 'know their place' in society (below that of European descendants). The motives are not the same.

Are African-descended criminals more of a threat to the average American of African descent than European descended racists? The statistics clearly show that they are. However, you're figuratively comparing apples with oranges in terms of situations (not 'race').

The closest thing to an African-descended klan would be extremist groups such as the 'Black Panthers' and such. Groups without all that much history of murdering others and with a few exceptions are more into building those of African descent up (often too much and they are often dishonest about it) and overly criticizing European-descended-dominated society rather than stating that those of European descent are inherently on a lower rung of the social ladder than those of African descent.

*African descended, etc. used for those considered 'black' and European descended, etc. for those considered 'white'. The former group has a fair amount of European (and other non-African) blood, and the latter has a bit of African (and other non-European) blood (groups taken as a whole).

(And the bold was not for you, kipita, but for some freepers who might get into a huffy about 'being too soft' on racist African-descended groups).

And there are probably typos. Shutting up now....

In a non-quantitative sense, my analysis is rather simple. In general, life in Africa is bad for Africans and good for Europeans and life in Europe is good for Europeans and better than Africa for Africans (Africans are dying by the thousands every year to come to Europe). So those who promote living like Africans (and profit from it) in America are what Mr. Whitlock calls the black KKK.

Also, in all honesty, life in Europe for black Americans is much better than in America IF one wants to have a family.

In what way(s) is this the case? Economically,discrimination-wise,or both? If you're talking discrimination do you think that would be the case throughout Europe or just in certain areas? And if you're talking economically please give us examples. And for that matter,if you're talking economically why wouldn't it be better for *white* Americans as well as black Americans?

Just curious!

In short, in America a black person has to balance "blackness" socially with American values of education and hard work. So it's okay while being single but difficult with kids if you really want them to experience a better life. Moreover, there is a very strong "crabs in a barrel" mindset amongst most blacks and the only way to overcome this is to join a "black group" which for me leads to a mafia type commitment over time. Other than that, you are on your own socially.

Europe welcomes all Americans and we are held in high esteem. So in Europe, for the first time, I have an identity (an American) that is very positive and my kids will also have that very positive identity. So I'm happy for their future.

Economically, for me personally, it has been a complete disaster! I tend to think most Americans would have the same experience as American companies want Europeans because they know the markets better. Moreover, one often needs European citizenship (as opposed to permanent residence status within one country) to work for European companies. So I'd suggest one should marry a European and depend on their income if one wants to move to Europe.

Call it the Cosby syndrome but there is a lot of disappointment within the black community about the problems in black America. The good thing is most are starting to realize blacks are to blame, not whites, which means there's hope in the future.

And for a complete response there’s personal philosophy…….

Political correctness would require me to say that I had an ideal life as a black American in New Orleans from birth to 18. I later had an ideal education and professional career from 19 through 37. I then developed my “driving philosophy”…

Ideal 21st century human societies will probably include the best of white, yellow, brown and black societies. Evil Presley (America) and the Beatles (Europe) probably added the final element to Western civilization and it just needs to seek equilibrium. “Pure yellow society” is probably 200 years behind, “pure brown society” is probably 400 years behind and “pure black society” is probably 1,000s of years behind Western civilization. Given the fact that the vast majority of black Americans have been influenced by Western civilization, I tend to think that black America (as a whole) will need 2 to 3 generations of ideal development to reach the level of the masses in Western civilization (in which the black Americans that have acclimated are a part of). Nonetheless, I prefer that my kids experience this now and Europe is better than America in achieving this objective.

I have no clue what a higher deity is but the synergy of Western society comes the closest for humanity to experience a relatively high quality human existence. So I’m happy to be living within that frame.
