Were American negroes still being opressed in 20th century or were they uplifted by the white society?
Is it not true that in Africa they would live a primitive life and under a harsher rule of their king? Is it not true that that filling their belly would be a much harder task there?
>White society What white society? Italians and Irish were huge ethnic groups despite not being considered white for decades. You can't just say "they're better off here" because without western powers Africa would be much different, so we don't really know if they'd be better off. And even though American blacks live better than most Africans that doesn't excuse literally rounding people up like cattle and forcing them to work.
Christian Ramirez
It seems to me like you are just copypasting something from a book or something.
Jordan Stewart
>because without western powers Africa would be much different,
Yeah people would be still living in small tribes, practicing vodoo and hunting animals with wooden spears.
If they wish to go a back to the times before civilization they can do that anytime.
Jose Ortiz
A lot of black americans are descendent from blacks that came to America much much earlier than the scramble for Africa.
Gabriel Evans
I was talking about 20th century. Rounding them up? They were bought from African slave traders.
They would be killed or forced into slavery by other blacks.
Joshua Ross
Well there's still plenty of tribes doing that, so they apparently did a pretty shitty job.
Jaxon Turner
It would be a pretty shitty book.
Caleb Kelly
Yes the colonized parts of Africa turned out better than the non colonized ones.
Colonization improved Africa and the current Africans benefit from the said colonization.
Grayson Powell
Mind pointing out where on this map isn't colonized?
Christopher Cook
Maybe i should write a book.
I am sick of the lie that blacks would be better off today if they never came across British Portugese and other Europeans.
Hell even if they were allowed to govern themselves for 200 years like the blacks in Haiti they would end up worse off than they are today.
Ian Price
I'm not going to comment on anything else that you said, but I'd like to make a point that a substantial portion of the global population practices some form of the voodoo religion. In some areas of Africa of course, South America, Central America and the Carribean, and North America. It's not typically open to outsiders and most of the tradition is passed down orally, but just so you know, it has a presence in the modern day.
Brandon Fisher
Wow white people improved entire Africa especially the parts where they mass migrated to.
They have proven the world that blacks lived on a great land but were too incompetent to do anything with it.
If you replaced Africans with Europeans Africa would be better off than Europe
Alexander Gutierrez
Just look at South Africa. How much did whites do in just a few decades of hard work? Same with Zimbabwe.
If Africa was colonized there would be no starving African children. Why are we not behind improving Africa?
Gavin Reed
They were becoming more and more privileged. Obama passed the border of white-black equalitiy.
Levi Hernandez
They were still oppressed. You still had segregation, denial of entry into institutions of education, and you had the KKK. Arguably, they weren't slaves anymore, but as a people they were still oppressed.
Blake Campbell
i don't know how you could say that jim crow laws weren't oppression. the constitution gave all citizens certain rights, and they didn't have some of them. I could care less if blacks are generally poorer, their political rights should line up with what the government promises.
Ryder Hernandez
Yeah, because apartheid and segregation within those institutions and the denial of education REALLY helped.
>too incompetent >implying they weren't hindered
May surprise you to know, but Africans did have civilisations. On top of that any effort of sustainable self management was often undermined.
How the hell is that opression? So blacks are opressed when they can't live near whites and yet whites are opressing them?
They could also make their own institutions under more favorable options than in Africa. Again not opression
Joseph Rivera
But segregation is what they want even now.
Thomas Flores
>tax everybody equally >provide different access to public services and political institutions >not oppression
Anthony King
Denial of education? Being educated for free in white schools is not opression.
Segreggation is not opression. SA had lower crime rates under white rule and a better living standard. Also the entire country was mainly built by whites.
Daniel Ward
>Again not opression
You're making up your own definition now and completely ignoring the actual consequences of such segregation, bet you're the kind of snowflake that bitches about white genocide every now and then.
Nicholas Morgan
>SA had lower crime rates under white rule
Objectively untrue, unless you're retarded enough to believe that apartheid was ceased magically.
Joshua Rivera
>tax everybody equally progressive tax is not equal
Is this the earliest case of black civilization you can find? 1980's? I am not even going to read that.
Show me blacks before white influence and trade.
Jacob Edwards
the issue with separate but equal was it wasn't equal. black neighborhoods were the shittier ones. the new suburbs built after WWII for GI's were exclusively for whites. it's hard to improve your economic situation when your opportunies are limited. the bus segregation for example was a bit more than this part is for blacks and this part is for whites. should a white person need a seat they could force a black person to stand up. this is the spirit that all of segregation was done in. I would have no issue with segregation in principle if it did actually follow the concept of separate but equal

>a black man earning 20 grand a year would get taxed less than a white man earning 20 grand a year
Now this is shitposting.
Easton Collins
The consequences of not being allowed to live near whites? Just listen to yourself admitting that blacks need white masters to live well.
And i thought liberals were not racist. I wonder why segreggation never hurts whites
William Cox
Violence caused by blacks in a war like manner. Is that your argument now?
Yes blacks ruined the peace that existed under apartheid.
Ian Hall
>Create a country from nothing >Blacks demand to be equal in everything even after taking no part of its creation
Jason Allen
That was more of a case of interference when blacks wanted self autonomy and not be governed by colonialism
As for African Americans, I'll admit, I'm no fan of BLM, but considering most of these people have higher concentrations of single motherhood rates, a more prone to lead poisoning which fucks with your brain, and as a demographic more likely to live in poverty, and being fed lies by the liberal media (saint michael brown the friendly giant my ass) yeah no shit.
Jack Ward
>the same UN which covers human rights abuses in North Korea
Does that mean we should support North Korea? Nice poisoning the well there, faggot.
Adrian Sanchez
>the entire country mainly built by whites lol
>colonize Africans and disposses them of land >attract them to the cities (townships really), away from their tribal leaders and families >entice them into exploitative gold mine work on a mass scale >pay them trash wages and make them live away from the nice white neighbourhoods >loads of stray young men of differing tribes away from their homes, alone in the cities/townships running around drinking because they're not really allowed/cannot afford to do much else for recreation >use the gold extracted by these miserable brutes to prosper
Yes, it was the white man who built the country on the backs of its exploited natives. All white guilt arguments and accusations aside this is absolutely undeniable
Gavin Turner
>wooden spears >West Africa was in the Iron Age by 500BC, possibly earlier according to some old finds in Nigeria >Most of them were farmers and pastoralists (look up African rice)
John Long
>Spanish Guinea Between 1778 and 1810, Spain administered the territory of Equatorial Guinea via its colonial Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata, based in Buenos Aires (in present-day Argentina). Its Argentine clay we should try invading here, genocide the native population and called it New Uruguay, nobody would care honestly

Forget about the current events rule, this kind of question should get an under age ban

Excuses: the post.
You whine about segregation and poor treatment of blacks by whites yet fail to address the elephant in the room, that blacks had not even developed their own formal educational system outside of oral tradition. You are the type of person to see a society uplifted by western civilisation and then criticise the fact that not every single peasant and farmer lives on the same level as the richest section of recent, white immigrations.
The oppression of blacks was often in Africa not that oppressive as much of the population under colonial rule were simply ignored. The idea of whites having their whip and rifle on hand over the hands of every man, woman and child is ludicrous.
There is also only so much you can expect from a colonial power itself colonising in the 19th or earlier moving into an area barely into the iron age. It takes many generations for a culture to adapt to such large scale and total change as was brought to Africa by Europeans. The entire colonial period was not sufficient in mere time alone to transform the native population into a population capable of functioning at a western level. Cultural change as well as economic had to occur for the Africans and if it had occurred by the time the Europeans left Africa, we would see countries with western level development there now. But we don't do we? There's only so much you can blame Europeans for when they have not been present as colonial powers for many decades now.

Nice a black guy with no self awareness who thinks he's above it all.
Brandon Wilson
Lol at this board falling for an obvious bait post.
It literally checks the list for a Veeky Forums bait post and you sad fucks fall for it
