Better now?
What would Dick Cheney say to the United Nations?
Dinesh D'Souza made that same point in one of his books.
It is an unspoken topic for the most part.
Someone send these moronsa copy of Hamilton's papers.
However, one of the conditions of such debt cancellation needs to be mandatory restructuring of those countries' economies and fiscal systems. That, unfortunately, isn't likely to happen.
Not that unspoken these days with people whining that the 'wrong blacks' are getting into Harvard *LOL* Too stupid. People come here and they really don't have time to immerse themselves in racial demagoguery. They want to succeed and make money. Black people from other countries get discriminated against just HOW it's dealt with and what sort of attitude.
A long time ago, black people had to fight for everything they wanted. It's no one else's fault but today's black Americans' own fault if other immigrant people come here and pick up where the old folks left off. Nothing stopping anyone from doing what they want in the USA. It's not the black farmer I read about who opposed Mugabe and is now taking a dirt nap.
How 'bout if we cancel our tax "debt" to your stinking university, Sachs?
What you say is true, and affirmative action has ended a lot of potential college degrees from being earned.
Many times people who would do alright at a state or city college are through affirmative action thrown into a school like USC where they my not be able to compete. Many drop out never earning any degree. (which to me is a horror of a result)
That is another unspoken topic and IMO this form of affirmative action has kept the blacks from degrees they would have earned.
I don't like the way that happens at all.

too many foreign born blacks graduating from Harvard... not enough inner city poor black kids. Aside from being discriminatory, the rules are not specific enough for WHICH kinds. Which is often the trap of liberal feel good intentions. As for black kids who may not make it all the way through, Harvard and USC could care less. Except now they target people who stay all four years and thus pay them more money. It ALWAYS comes down to money.
BTW, there are many successsful black people attending state schools because they're cheaper and less of a hassle than a high brow lib fortress than Harvard. Not to mention all the folks in the military taking correspondence courses,etc. The majority of young black kids I've met joining the military are doing it for the college money and experience. So it's all as bad as the liberals want people to believe, just not going the way they like.
I find nothing redeeming in the liberal approach to life. prasites that they are.
We spent billions of dollars on Africa and all we got was genocide. Giving money to an african country is like giving money to the UN 'oil for food' program. Increasing the amount of aid is not the problem. It's the corruption.
While I don't disagree with you, it appears you are painting with a brush at least as wide as you accuse others of doing. I do agree with you on the influence of tribalism, both in Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and as you have defined it, in the United States. Division has benefitted a lot of powerful people in every country.
Of course. I agree.
