Re: “Actually when the first Portuguese penetrated into tropical Africa they found that living conditions were better there than at home...The Africans concerned had indoor plumbing, sewage disposal as well as clean drinking water - all things unheard of on Portugal or Europe at the time.”

Really?

No indoor plumbing, sewage, or clean water in Portugal or Europe in 1500?

Hmmm...

By 100 A.D., the Romans had constructed indoor plumbing, paved roads, central heating, sewers, and aqueducts into every corner of their European Empire, including Portugal.

And, unlike the alleged great, but allegedly destroyed, cities of Africa, the ruins of the Roman Empire still exist, and can be visited and seen by anyone, and actually read about in books written by the Romans who lived there.

The writer could not even defend white men w/o adopting another liberal meme - “White men were responsible for slavery”. Good grief!

Whites need to study history:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_slavery_in_the_Muslim_world

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery

Slavery was unfortunately, always present. But in the last 1.5 millenniums, Islam spread Slavery far and wide. It is the White Men's World that outlawed it. Know your history and you will be set free.

Really. See “Ancient African Kingdoms” Margret Shinnie; Mentor Books, New American Library,1965.

and:

“A Short History of Africa” Roland Oliver & J.D. Fage; Penguin Books, 1965

The late 1400s were a long way from Rome ... and the Dark Ages were just ending, however some put the actual end much later - into the late 18th.

Portugal was the super power of its time.

After the failure of the "victories" of the civil rights movement. What was promised in the 1954-1965 period has not occurred, in many ways, quite the opposite has happened.

One psychologically appealing explanation is white racism.

There are others.

They are having problems in my area as American taxpayers evacuate the NYC metro area; there is less and less money to pay for their schooling etc.

Definitely trending in the wrong direction for blacks; a sharecropper could scrimp and save to put his children through school so they could enter the middle class, and that mobility is basically gone now for most of them - illiterate, no work ethic, high chemical dependency...

When we refused to do what was necessary to stop hippies, women, the more violent minorities and the media from outright misbehaving and sabotaging the culture.

And yes I’m lumping them all together for a reason.

White men were responsible for slavery

Say what?!

Slavery has been around since pre-history, and starts in Africa about the time apes began walking upright.

It continues today in the very same place.

White people who lived in Europe enslaved their own populaces through feudalism and monarchism, and chattel slavery was just an extension of that.

The Black Africans, the Arabs, the Asians, the Hottentots...everyone. They have all practiced some form of slavery for a million years.

It was White Christians who ended it violently out of principled opposition. The entire nation of China is to this day a massive slave state where Chinese thugs enslave other Chinese who are murdered if they resist. Where is their virtuosity? Where is their nobility?

The best word to describe white men is “reticent”.

after WW1 and WW2 tens of millions of white men died....when America decided not to use nukes in Korea and Nam, and instead trade American lives for Asian lives.... more died....

Chicks have come home to roost.
