Well as a Caribbean citizen I can honestly say that our black descendants didn't go through the same things as the ancestors of slaves in America. Slavery was abolished, governors were brought over we were colonized etc. but our majority was black. After slavery we never had to question whether we were a full human or half. Most of our leaders were descendants of former slaves. We never had to sit at the back of buses and fight for equality after emancipation. We also didn't have our stores burned down and black business owners lynched when the whites felt that the black businessmen were taking away their profit. In the Caribbean former black slaves inherited land. In the US they hardly gave anything to the slaves and they were forced to remain on plantation. They gave nothing to majority of the slaves and the effect of that is still being felt today. When the former slaves in the Caribbean refused to work the plantation, the British empire traveled to India, Germany etc. to bring back workers as indentured servants. Yes Caribbean people were affected by slavery and the ramifications can still be felt today. The enslavement of Africans was one of the most brutal forms of slavery to ever exist but I believe that we as Caribbean citizens will recover faster than those in the US because their trauma is deeper. Hence the reason why Caribbean people who move to the US are more likely to work hard and succeed. Most of us didn't even realize we were black or never felt that our blackness would be frowned upon until we visited the USA and Canada.

Thank you. Folks love to use the trope of "well the immigrants succeed" without exploring the nuances of what Black Americans have gone through that even the immigrants didn't have to go through. Black immigrants usually come from areas where they don't have to deal with being reminded that they're Black nor seen as inferior nor treated as such (in regards to negative treatment because of race) since the majority of the people from where they come are the same race as them. I paused this BS as soon as I heard the "They don't value education" BS since I've known and met way too many Black people who definitely stress getting an education. Then again, dude is quoting Sowell, white supremacists' favorite pet knee grow. They love a Black dude who throws other Black people under the bus.

Its literally impossible.“black culture” is not about violence or being poor but was created to look that way. Let’s not forget the real reason for reconstruction in the late 1800’s. Black people were thriving on a level that most White people or White immigrants were not and due to simple jealousy, through law and indoctrination a new narrative was created and labeled “black culture”.

@@raulrgarcia4562 You make very valid points. They can call me racist all they want. Everyone is racist somewhat maybe not cross burning but everyone has their little things about other races. That's part of life and you can get mad or get over it. I've been talked about like I'm a idiot, and just because of the way I talk and my accent I'm a dumb rednec. Actually I have a pretylty decent education that is worth about what a roll of toilet paper costs. Both poor white and black people have to pull themselves out of poverty. The government isn't going to do it. They are happy having that control on you. Affirmative action hurt the black community I think a lot. Before that they had their own banks, stores, schools their commties were beautiful. They had their own infrastructure. That couldn't stand back then so they had to make it where things would be fair on paper but it hurt their community worse than it helped. All the black owned businesses were soon gone and they had to rely on whoever came in and opened up shop. Then they are good at destroying their own communities. I'm not sure why but more power to them. I don't think the American people owe anyone any reporations. That's stupid shite. I want my reporations from the mineral rights they stole from my ancestors for less than pennies on the acre. I don't though and the millions of dollars of coal they mined from my family land I see 800 dollars a year from some settlement but we got our mineral rights back with a operating gas well. You want to talk about people being treated horribly. Do a little research on the Coal wars and strikes in Kentucky and WV. My dad was in the Harlan County strike. You can pull yourself out of poverty. I did but I'm finding it hard to understand why black Americans are having trouble. I'll just say. You think you struggle in the city being poor. Live in the country. There's no Shelters, you cant walk to the store. My closest grocery store is 45 minutes away. My doctor's are over a hour away. They have actually more opportunities than poor people that live here only difference is their skin color and as far as I've seen if you're a good person that doesn't matter.

Think about the similarities between 1800s cowboy/redneck culture and the current “black culture”. Both would kill for any amount of disrespect, both formed gangs of outlaws, both avoided real work, both gambled their money away for fun, both were essentially lower class poor people, both enjoyed and glorify sex without raising children, both abused drugs and alcohol frequently, both disdained education, ad so on… Thomas Sowell points out that this type of culture has been bad for black people, just as it was bad for southerners, and even further back it was bad for people of the Scottish Highlands and northern England, which is also where “Ebonics” originated from old English… This also one of the reasons that Blacks that went to northern schools and immersed themselves into the north’s more industrial and educated culture did quite well and in many cases they did better than many white southerners on testing and financially. This type of redneck culture used to be called “cracker culture”…

Its sort of like Korean grocers in LA. during the Eighties. Those weren't average Koreans, but educated Koreans who moved to the US for their kids because Korea has far fewer universities than the US. Suffice to say, an engineer running a grocery store has a strategic advantage.

I also read a number of Thomas Sowell's books. His opinions are outmoded, and he used information that is now dated information. Black People have significantly progressed in every way. When Sowell first proposed his beliefs, less than 10% of African Americans held a four-year degree, 1/3 of Black people lived in poverty, teenage pregnancy was common, crime was rampant, and 25% of Black people were in the middle class. Now, 7.6 million African Americans (27%) over 25 have a 4 year college degree, 2.5 million (9%) have postgraduate degrees, the poverty rate was at an all-time low of 18% in 2019, adolescent pregnancy is at an all-time low, and the crime rate has dropped by 50% since the early 1990s with a 40% drop in incarceration in the last 20 years and 45% are in the middle class (excluding Black immigrants). My assessment is that Thomas Sowell was mistaken about Black Americans taking this progress into account. The development of African Americans refutes the entire cultural pathology theory. For recent reports on Black Americans, Pew Research Center, Brookings, and US Census.gov are all recommended. My argument, and that of the majority of Blacks in academia, is that both poor and wealthy Black Americans have the same cultural background. Another evidence that Thomas Sowell was wrong comes from his reference to Jamaican immigrants as the ideal minority in the 1970s, despite the fact that they had a smaller population and higher average wages than Black Americans. In the 1980s, when more immigrants from lower-class Jamaica began to arrive, they also brought higher crime rates and reducing levels of educational achievement

Two things can be true at once… everyone is trying to do mental gymnastics but you have to remember that there are actual intelligent people who can derail their train… it’s not rocket science… there are a lot of factors

I’ve heard this before, I believe it 💯% it makes so much sense.

[@DDGotAPodcast]

Right! 💡

[@awkwardautistic]

no it really doesn't. If that were true... why has Sub Saharan Africa never succeeded? North African countries are more middle eastern than black...the black countries have never done very well... they're all still 3rd world countries. Is it a coincidence that they have the lowest IQ scores after Aborigines? When Europeans arrived...they had no written language, no civilization like every other area of the world...they didn't even have the wheel.
