Want statues to come down? Open MLK's sealed FBI files

That's all fine and good, but America didn't start out as the richest superpower. It took a lot of work and innovation. Don't understand why such a resource-rich nation was never able to be more than a run-down shithole.

I never mentioned genetics, you did.

You don't have to specifically mention genetics.

You know as well as I and everyone else does what you're trying to imply with your mouth foaming about African poverty.

As for your question about the African economy, read my post. It's right here on this page.

Better yet, Google it yourself and read all about it.

Do I think you will? I doubt it.

I get the strong impression that you're one of those people who doesn't like the truth when it debunks your bigoted views.

:rolleyes: Only someone ignorant of history would call Africa a run-down shithole.

The question is "What are you PURPOSELY IGNORING here?"

Again, read my above post then Google the subject yourself.

You're trying to blame it on other countries. What happened before the other countries? Why don't the people take their country back and make it a success?

Incidentally, the same phenomena is seen in many cities in the U.S.

That's right. You don't understand.

Minty, or Trump Diva or whoever she is this week, would have you believe Africa is a country of mud roads and grass huts with topless black women wearing rags toting a baby in one arm and a basket on her head trodding through the mud and naked children sitting in the dirt with flies all over their faces.

Reality of course, is somewhat different.

Major cities in Africa:

I also posted a statistic which stated that in less than ten years Africa will have attained middle class status.

Something you again, choose to ignore.

I guess the public education system where you grew up is not up to par with the rest of the country.

You should embrace that kind of generalizing and assumption.

Location and the associated climate allowed some civilations to settle and produce food for the populace. Not everyone had to be a good producer at that point. That freed some to do other things to advance a civilization. Location that was conducive to trade also had a head start. Trade and commerce lead to sharing of knowledge.

Now, take a look at the interior of Africa. In the context I just provided, tell us what climatic and geographical advantages they had to get a foothold on advancing their civilizations like the West did.

Because the supposed "content" if you could call it that (I don't) is too fucking retarded to waste time debunking. It's so moronic, it doesn't merit a serious reply.

But I'll go ahead and make what I know will be a useless attempt to shine some light into the darkness of your mind.

MLK is revered for his civil rights leadership, not how faithful he may or may not have been to his wife. That has nothing to do with anything. Apples and oranges. None of the status of him portray him with a halo or wings.

Relationships between people, especially adult men and women, are very complex, not childishly simple the way you and your side likes to believe they are, or portray them as when it's convenient or can be twisted to support some ignorant argument you're trying to make, or to demonize an otherwise honorable person you despise because of what he represents. Maybe his wife had another man in the side, too. Maybe she was OK with him having other women. Maybe Abernathy had some other agenda and was lying or exaggerating.

Who knows?

Who cares? Other than racist rednecks looking for any reason to pull him down to their level, that is.

Therefore, I wouldn't lower myself to address anything an asshole like the author of this dumbilly thread pukes.

The fact that I just did so for you, notwithstanding.

He also was against men and women who were / are gay.

Is that OK??

He lived in a different era than we do, so I'm not going to judge him by today's social mores.

My guess is that if he were alive and well today, he would embrace the LGBTQ community.

All you right-wingers seem to want to do is live in the past.

Do you realize what you just said and what a hypocrite you just revealed yourself to be??
