The opportunities are there. In fact, there are more opportunities thanks to affirmative action, minority preferences, race norming and test score adjustment.

Yet people who immigrate here, not speaking English, not knowing the culture, do extremely well and do not have those minority preferences.

The people who have those preferences and who don’t use them are designated as “poor,” “oppressed,” “marginalized,” “discriminated against.” And so they remain poor, all the while blaming their misery on Whitey, who gets taxed extra to pay the way for the people who hate him.

The last thing in the world the democrats want is for the privileged people to rise out of poverty and become productive citizens who love the country. They are useful to the left because they perpetually hate the country. If they ever start loving the country the democrats have no use for them, and do all they can to destroy them.

Half empty is more attention getting than half full. Profitable too. Ask Sharpton or the Kenyan.

The interesting question is the classical world. As far as we can see the Romans did not practice any form of skin color discrimination. It wasn’t a concept that existed in that era.

Life expectancy for slaves in North America

Far exceeded where they came from

Freedom in 1700s Africa you say

Are you that stupid

Opportunities arc for the negro race has been at lease on a 20 degree path on an xy graph since

But still never enough

Good question, and nope. If a black can’t make in the USA with all the freebies given to blacks then they just ain’t trying.

Whether that is true or not, it doesn't matter.

The United States is so institutionally racist that damn near every person of color elsewhere on the planet would like to move here.

No, there has not.

America is the most popular country in the world when it comes to where immigrants of color want to settle.

Life expectancy for slaves in the US was 30 years.
Life expectancy for slaves in South America was 10 years.
Not hearing calls for reparations in South America. Hmmmm . .

In the classical world, there were far fewer opportunities for black people because there were far fewer opportunities for all people.

If the false trope that America was built on the backs of slave labor were true, then Rome would have been incredibly rich, as Rome depended on slaves far more than the United States did.

Rome discriminated against those who were not Roman, which was rational and logical.

Rome was richer than most other places in the Roman world, because Rome allowed for relatively safe travel and safety of property within its domains. This allowed the building of wealth. Brigands and pirates were routinely hunted down and killed or enslaved.

The Classical civilization was killed off by Islam, as it was starting to rebuild

They’re secretly longing to live in a grass hut and eat animal entrails in goat stew. (A missionary friend showed us movies.) It’s a much better life than they’ve been blessed with in the USA, dontcha know?

Death, to all racist anti-American propagandists.

(Yes, that includes the KKK, BLM and Antifa for starters, then move on to the EneMedia and their paymasters...)

I want trials, convictions, hangings, firing squads, and a fire truck!
(But I don’t really need a fire truck.)

Yes, but not because the US is non-racist.

It's because they know that they can take your stuff, and that you won't object in any serious way.

In fact, they know that your "representatives" will pass laws to make your dispossession easier.
