Hmm. From what I have heard about some places in the south, a mud hut would be a preferable living quarters to shacks in the south.

BTW, I just heard John McCain say he isn't proud to be an American.

Unlike you I grew up in a mixed area, served in the Army and my company was about 1/3 white, 1/3 black, 1/3 hispanic. Great guys. I live in an area now that has whites, blacks and many central American immigrants (many are probably illegal). Many radical left wing loons like you often live in overwhelmingly white areas, but throw your idiotic "white gated community" statements around.

You need to get out of your zip code a little more. Hey maybe even try military service.

Nope, The European Colonists still would have dominated all. But back to Central and S. America, living in mud huts, barking at the moon, shrinking heads, and be a cannibal is what the colonists found. Pretty much all of the Americas is English and Espanol, and although you have not said Muchas Gracias, eres bienvenido.

I will be thinking of the "White Wright Brothers" as I soon depart for Santo Domingo.

That is not remotely how history records the means of Western colonization of the Americas.

A Native American Holocaust was already underway well before the American colonies were established. Smallpox was the end game of a death spiral that had been underway for about 90 years.

RE: 10 Black Things [White] Liberals Just Don’t Understand
I'll see if I can circle this back around to the OP...

Quote:1. ALL BLACKS CAN SUMMON THE GANGSTA

Try to imagine hearing an old-money aristocrat on the Upper West Side say: “I can get redneck if I have to. I’ll go up yonder holler and tan that old bastard’s hide.” Upper-class white people don’t have a connection with the lower orders. They don’t even understand them. If Brooke Astor had ever met Eminem, the entire conversation would have been a sea of pardon mes.

Yes and no. Most people, regardless of race, have the ability to code switch in the US. It's just a matter of whether or not said UMC persons actively acknowledge and interact that low class proles that exist in their family tree.

Quote:2. BLACKS AIN’T DOWN WITH THE GAYS

This is a bitter pill to swallow for liberals so they put it in the plant and tell the doctor they took it. During a Trayvon demonstration, a white hippie got on a megaphone and said he was sick of the oppression of minorities such as African-Americans and the LGBT community. A stocky black woman then grabbed the megaphone and informed him that the issue at hand was “not no gay ****! None of that!”

Mostly true, which highlights my theory that the DNC is simply a big tent of disparate groups that are only unified by the idea that the GOP is full of bigoted old rich white men. If you really want to see this in action, simply compare the Gay marriage issue to the civil rights struggle of the 60's.

Quote:3. BLACKS DON’T LIKE THEIR FANS

...

The majority of black Americans would rather have a beer with an Archie Bunker type who talks about the dangers of “negro neighborhoods” (which he lives right next to) than the Gawker blogger who keeps whining about “crackers” and annoying “white men” like his own father. Blacks don’t appreciate the ethnomasochism of whites. They think it’s on some ***** ****.

There is a theory on race relations that sums this up perfectly; in the south, blacks can get close to whites, but not get far (political power). Up north, blacks can get far, but not close.

Quote:4. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS SELLING OUT IN BLACK AMERICA

If a broke white comedian appears briefly in a commercial for motor oil he becomes a pariah. The more esoteric the art form, the more verboten it is to profit from it. Punk rockers are barely allowed to have enough money to eat.

Rappers have the opposite set of rules. If you’re in NWA and you want to do a commercial for malt liquor, you are “getting yours.”

The above mentioned 'selling out' is approved because one is separating white people from their money while still remaining true to the 'hood. Don't be deceived though, Tim Scott, Mia Love and Thomas Sowell and absolutely considered sell outs. The research on this take is pretty weak.

Quote:5. DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS

Whites across the political spectrum see beating a woman as one step down from murder. Blacks hate it too but they prefer to keep the whole thing in-house. If a white celebrity was caught hitting his wife, the couple would split and we’d never hear from him again. Maybe it’s because so many blacks have been sent to jail for domestic violence—one prison guard in Queens told me about a third are in there for “domestics”—but they don’t see getting the authorities involved as beneficial for anyone.

True, but only insomuch as is a black woman has decided to be with a man permanently, then she has made a decision to rebuke that financial benefits of single motherhood that Daddy Gov't can offer. It would be a betrayal of her principals to backtrack.

Quote:6. BLACKS DON’T CALL 911

Why bother? As Flavor Flav said, “911 is a joke.” Possibly for the same reasons they prefer to handle domestic violence themselves, they prefer almost all crimes to be taken care of by the community. You’d think they were living on the Rez, or under a cooler version of sharia law. If a fight breaks out in the projects, they are more likely to yell downstairs for their cousins than call the cops.

Such lawless areas are were 'might makes right' and you end up with tautological gems like 'snitches get stiches' and 'stop snitching'. The cops are called to come and pick up the dead body. 911 can't work in extra-judical enclaves where people don't/won't help the police and view law enforcement negatively.

Quote:7. THE LADIES LIKE BEING CATCALLED

Perhaps the most glaring example of rich white liberals not understanding black culture was the recent catcalling controversy. White girls don’t like it when black guys appreciate their bodies so they assumed all women were on the same page. I was surprised too when I first moved to New York and saw blacks, Hispanics, and working-class whites, strutting forward with beaming pride after getting catcalled and even hollering back, “Thanks, baby.” These men aren’t groping themselves and hurling disgusting fantasies at women, they are appreciating them. Being a man with a healthy libido who adores girls and wants them to know it is tantamount to being a rapist for liberals today and the rest of us think they’re nuts, especially blacks.

It depends on the type of guy doing the catcalling.

Quote:8. HAIRCUTS TAKE FOREVER

If you don’t know what it takes to make black women’s hair look like not-black women’s hair, I highly recommend the Chris Rock documentary Good Hair. Basically, long hair is purchased from poor Asian and Indian women and then stitched into a black women’s afro for thousands of dollars.

True.

Quote:9. BLACKS ARE PAROCHIAL

To outsiders, blacks seem to be a remarkably conformist culture where all kids dress exactly the same. White teenagers might be goths or cowboys or preppies or nerds, whereas black kids seem to all share the same personal stylist.

Mostly true, but there are cracks that are starting to appear that allow for deviation from the stereotypical black archtypes of athlete, thug or afrocentric activist.

Quote:10. THE BLACK GLASS IS HALF FULL

Being a pet isn’t that different from being a slave. After decades of being jewelry the Democrats wear to local fund rallies, black morale is relatively low. To justify big government programs, the left has told them again and again that life is hell and there’s no sense trying. Blacks are told they will not succeed on their own and they need the nanny state to nurture them. When someone makes it out of the ghetto, the left says it’s a very rare exception that can’t last.

Cracks are beginning to appear in this theory as well. Though it must be noted that the loyalty is more about maintaining black political power through racial unity in order to get equal time wielding the gov't use of forces powers.

Holocaust is not the word I would use due to it's modern definition. But this relentless criticism of European expansion to the Americas does little to educate or enlighten as the the existing local problems of tribalism, war, disease, drought and, sometimes, peace. For instance, if Native Americans hadn't been enmeshed in such bitter rivalries when Europeans showed up, they might have banded together & pushed them back into the sea.

However, between the devastation wrecked by smallpox and the vastly, vastly superior technology of the Europeans, the fate of the Americas was pretty much sealed.

Yeah, that was a poor word choice on my part. But before the founding of the colonies proper, Native Americans were facing some type of die off due to disease on the East Coast while west of the Mississippi some of the more violent tribes were ranging free and killing with little opposition. There was effectively little resistance to oppose colonial expansion.

Not in Central and South America. The Aztecs basically fought back and defeated the Spanish until they returned with reenforcements. If it wasn't for Small Pox, they would have never defeated teh Aztecs.

That's why battles are fought. Imagine if America hadn't won the wars they fought, starting with teh American Revolutionary War.

I don't know about never.

I think it would have been inevitable, regardless, because for instance even "reinforcements" is part and parcel of my claim of vastly superior technology. The Spaniards didn't land enough men with horses, armor and gunpowder the first time. Their transportation technology (trans-Atlantic navigation) allowed them to quickly recover (travel back to Spain, written records of the area allowed vast dissemination of knowledge of the New World,) and to then mount a second campaign (really, as many campaigns as ever would be needed) to take better advantage of their military technology (horses, armor, gunpowder, supply chain) in battle with Native Americans.

I still firmly believe that disease is a semi-MacGuffin to the reality of internecine Native American warfare, a remarkable lack of technology, and the inevitable wave of European migration to the New World.

The Aztecs as they existed in the late 1400's were doomed from the moment Europeans landed.
