No, whites are not responsible for black outcomes.
americanthinker.com ^ | 2/21/25 | Vince Coyner

Posted on 02/21/2025 8:50:09 AM PST by Midwesterner53

If you spend any time online (particularly after Kendrick Lamar’s halftime show), you’ll find memes saying that blacks built America, a black woman wrote Shakespeare’s work, and black Africans built Western civilization. I’m not convinced.

To put it bluntly, has black Africa ever given the world anything of consequence since humans originated there? Has black Africa ever had a civilization worthy of comparison to the great civilizations we’re all familiar with? Is there a reason why Africa has the lowest IQs on the planet? That almost every country in Africa is poor while the continent has a majority of the world’s gold, cobalt, diamonds, and platinum? Is it any coincidence that 8 of the 10 most violent countries in the world are either in Africa or are majority black? Ditto for wars? Is it any coincidence that black Americans are 600% more likely to commit murder than whites?

Well written but a bit long. Vince Coyner goes into detail on why Europeans and later whte Americans are not responsible for the situation many blacks find themselves in today. Until the facts can be faced head on, nothing will ever change. And I am not sure even Trump wants to do that.

the specter of racism is the main political control weapon of the radical left.

Its worked on blacks and gullible whites for 70 years. There’s effectively an entire post-modern religion now built around it.

Walter Williams said he thanked God his ancestors were brought to North America as slaves and that he wasn’t born in Africa

Even if they aren’t responsible, they’re to blame.

And it all gained momentum when Obeyme was selected twice as the divine emperor of America.

No need to confront blacks with the truth while Trump’s making big-time inroads. See the black history month ‘party’ yesterday at the WH? Tiger wearing the medal Biden probably gave him. An ‘inclusive’ crowd-nobody gets left out. Celebratory unlike democrats. Trump was being a good cheerleader.

“since humans originated there” - yeah well that hasn’t been proven yet IMO. I can confidently say I did not originate from there based on my genetic traits, lack of melanin (I burn under a full moon), physical appearance and IQ. You won’t convince me otherwise.

Some people see themselves as permanent victims.

Rather like the Jews are described in ads asking for money as "Holocaust Survivors"

The camps were liberated in 1944. Were the children so damaged that they were unable to live productive lives?

If that is the case I have sympathy for them.

Back in the 50’s we were taught the “Nile Delta” was the “cradle of civilization.” Isn’t that Egypt? How many Black Americans are Egyptian?

I read this earlier; it’s full of holes and cherry-picking. The author talks about how it’s black “culture” holding blacks back, and cites the US “ghetto” culture, but earlier in his article he talks about how bad Haiti is, and talks about the African continent. I’m pretty sure the US “ghetto” culture isn’t present in either of those areas, and the other reason he gave (lack of ports preventing exchange of ideas) doesn’t apply to anyplace in Africa any longer, so why is Africa still terrible, filled with corruption, violence, and decay? He says low IQ isn’t the problem, and blacks aren’t genetically “inferior”, but never explains why Africa is so bad now if not because of some innate characteristic of blacks.

He holds up Thomas Sowell as an example of how blacks aren’t all mindless thugs, but this is fallacious, because it’s a single anecdotal example, and the counterpoint is “George Floyd”. In the end, the article throws out a bunch of unconnected anecdotes, while skipping around the actual causes of black civilizational incapability.

I have never seen ads like this?
There have been some cases of families trying to recover looted art work that Nazis stole, which is entirely ok.

Regular ads. here sponsored by "The Fellowship of Christians and Jews" showing a poor old lady with a carrot. "I ate half yesterday and half today". All she had to eat in 2 days.

Real tear-jerkers, but are they genuine?

I started school in the ‘60s. We were taught the cradle of civilization was the area between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, or Mesopotamia.
