Sound like a Nazi and the way they attacked the Jews in Germany.



You're a White nationalist. That link is below.



I'm Black and I do not find this offensive to me at all. In fact as a kid in the 60's I grew up in an all white neighborhood and there were no other blacks in school besides my sisters and I. Yeah I got called names. But so what.



I got good white friends too who stayed with me as well. And I learned then that whites can dislike and even hate other white people as well. That in the end. Race was not even an issue. But what a person was? That was most important. I got along with almost everyone. There were a few that were jerks but not many.



The other thing I learned is this.



No one person before they were born ever asked God, what race, nationailty, intelligence, family, talents, looks, or whatever else that they would be born with. None of us. I know I wasn't. And in the end.



As a Christian I have leaned this truth. Since the way I am born is not my choice. And this true for everyone else.



If people have a problem with who I am, especially in race. Your problem is with God. God made the choice. Not me.



Yeah. I admit there are those with those bad habits. But the fact of the matter is this too.



It was the White man that brought Blacks over to America as slaves. They robbed them of their families, their culture, and their language, and yes even religion.



The other factor is this. There are many Blacks who have achieved greatness in politics, science, medicine, sports, government (conservative. Liberals are a joke) etc. Because achievement for them in America is not about race. It's about personal desire to achieve in spite of any obstacle in their way. And this is true for all Americans who are achievers of any race. And that is a fact.



There are causes for this cycle that must be broken. The way the education system is rigged against children to contribute to society but rather to learn what is evil about it since it's founding? This cycle will never be broken. And what is worse is that white children and all other races are being brought into this horrific learning cycle where there is no desire to succeed. Instead it is more important that the children follow the party line and think as one and have no individual thought. Especially against Christianity.

Well, the ability to transfer blood from one person to another comes to mind. The carbon filaments for light bulbs is another. The three light traffic light so the amber would warn cars of the light's being about to change too. The clothes dryer is handy. Railroad crossing guards was a good idea. Using an ice box in a refrigerator to cool food came in handy. Microphones have proved useful. Pacemaker control units are good too.

My favorite is the safety measure of making sure the elevator door doesn't open until it is actually at your floor. I didn't know that France didn't use it until I nearly walked into an empty shaft back in 1979,

Imagine what black people would have achieved if they had not been oppressed.

You racist fool; Black people invented stuff like the telephone and the stoplight but didn't have the money to pay a patent, that's how Edison became famous, he stole inventions from other people and paid a patent.

Black athletes proved to be as good as White ones as they won the racing competitions against the Germans in the Nazi Olympics in 1939.

Black people invented Rock n' Roll but white singers became famous and rich with it.

Also black people fought in the American Revolution, the Civil War, WW1, WW2 and Vietnam before they started getting a little credit and respect.

Also think on Nelson Mandela or Martin Luther King they were people who fought for Civil Rights in non violent ways.

several black people have invented things. http://www.black-inventor.com/



and many of the celebrities in the US are black. They sing, dance and act. Entertaining us for decades. Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Ella Fitzgerald. to Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5, Janet Jackson, Beyonce. Denzel Washington, Cuba Gooding Jr. And many more. More whites are in US prisons than all the other races put together.

Empires in Africa. The real tragedy struck once whites in Europe stopped living like vermin and began the slave trade, killing off Native Americans (in the north and south) via diseases, raping and killing women and children, and forcing everyone they came in contact with to convert to Christianity. If anything, whites are the most barbaric and vile of all human races. If you want to play the generalization game.

If you want to get serious answers, you should ask your question in a less biased way. For example, "What are some significant contributions to society by black people over the years."



Also, the fact that illiteracy, criminality, and welfare tend to be higher in black people has little to do with their race. Those three things are more common in lower income areas, no matter what a persons race is. There are countless studies around the socioeconomic factors that keep poor people poor, any why black people are more commonly poor, but that is a whole 'nother conversation.



Black people have made countless contributions, more than there is room to list, but I will name a few.



Otis Boykin invented an improved electrical resistor used in computers - radios - television sets and a variety of electronic devices. Boykin's resistor helped reduce the cost of those products.



Charles Brooks invented a street sweeper truck and patented it on March 17, 1896. Historically, prior to Brooks' truck, streets were commonly cleaned by walking workers, picking up by hand or broom, or by horse-drawn machines. He also patented an early paper punch, also called a ticket punch



Benjamin Banneker was a scientist, astronomer, inventor, and writer who created the first American built striking clock, invented the first Farmers' Almanac. In 1753, he built the first watch made in America, a wooden pocket watch. Twenty years later, Banneker began making astronomical calculations that enabled him to successfully forecast a 1789 solar eclipse. His estimate, made well in advance of the celestial event, contradicted predictions of better-known mathematicians and astronomers.



Agricultural chemist, George Washington Carver invented three hundred uses for peanuts and hundreds more uses for soybeans, pecans and sweet potatoes. Countless products we enjoy today come to us by the way of Carver.



George Carruthers led the team that invented the far ultraviolet camera spectrograph. He developed the first moon-based space observatory, an ultraviolet camera that was carried to the moon by Apollo 16 astronauts in 1972. The camera was positioned on the moon's surface and allowed researchers to examine the Earth's atmosphere for concentrations of pollutants.



John Christian was working as an Air Force, Materials Research, Engineer, when he invented and patented new lubricants, used in high flying aircraft and NASA space missions. They were used in the helicoptor fuel lines, astronaut's back-pack life support systems, and in the four-wheel drive of the "moon-buggy".



Charles Drew made discoveries relating to the preservation of blood. By separating the liquid red blood cells from the near solid plasma and freezing the two separately, he found that blood could be preserved and reconstituted at a later date.



Mark Dean and his co-inventor Dennis Moeller created a microcomputer system with bus control means for peripheral processing devices. Their invention paved the way for the growth in the information technology industry.



Dr. Daniel Hale Williams was a pioneer in heart surgery, performing the first one in 1893.



Philip Emeagwali won the prestigious Gordon Bell Prize for his work with massively parallel computers. He programmed the Connection Machine to compute a world record 3.1 billion calculations per second using 65,536 processors to simulate oil reservoirs.



Fred McKinley Jones was one of the most prolific Black inventors ever. Jones patented more than sixty inventions, however, he is best known for inventing an automatic refrigeration system for long-haul trucks in 1935 (a roof-mounted cooling device).



Seargant Adolphus Samms - 1958-1967 - Invented various systems for space travel including:

Parachute release mechanism

Rocket engine pump feed system

Air frame center support (eliminates need for second and third stage engines)

Multiple stage rocket

Air breathing booster

Emergency release for extraction chute mechanism

Rocket motor fuel feed system

Here is a list of blacks contributions to society.

Whitney Moore Young Jr. (July 31, 1921 – March 11, 1971) was an American civil rights leader. He spent most of his career working to end employment discrimination in the United States and turning the National Urban League from a relatively passive civil rights organization into one that aggressively worked for equitable access to socioeconomic opportunity for the historically disenfranchised.



Frederick Douglass (born Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey, c. February 1818[3] – February 20, 1895) was an African-American social reformer, abolitionist, orator, writer, and statesman. After escaping from slavery in Maryland, he became a national leader of the abolitionist movement in Massachusetts and New York, gaining note for his dazzling oratory[4] and incisive antislavery writings. In his time he was described by abolitionists as a living counter-example to slaveholders' arguments that slaves lacked the intellectual capacity to function as independent American citizens.[5][6] Northerners at the time found it hard to believe that such a great orator had once been a slave.[7] February 20, 1895 (aged 77)

Regardless of what their culture or skin color is there is only one race, the human race. Acts 17:26-28

26 And he made out of one man+ every nation of men to dwell on the entire surface of the earth,+ and he decreed the appointed times and the set limits of where men would dwell,+ 27 so that they would seek God, if they might grope for him and really find him,+ although, in fact, he is not far off from each one of us. 28 For by him we have life and move and exist, even as some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his children.’*

Acts 10:34, 35

34 At this Peter began to speak, and he said: “Now I truly understand that God is not partial,+ 35 but in every nation the man who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.+

Why weren't black people left where they were born and had roots and generations of ancestors to give stability to their lives?
