It’s Emmett Till‘s birthday today. He would have been 82. Carolyn Bryant, the woman whose accusation that Till whistled or flirted with her led to his torture and murder, is alive and well today.
Do you want to hear from some of Till’s friends who are still alive? Will their opinions carry more weight?
I don't care what race it is. But I do care that it is a racist country and always has been.
This doesn't make sense. You say you don't care what the racial makeup is, but if there's no diversity by definition that's considered racist. That's the industry standard for race baiters. In this thing is you're either for diversity, or you're a so-called racist. So you're a racist because you don't care if it's majority white and a lack of diversity?
If true , I'm impressed
You're impressively thick. I don't care about race but about racists. There is only diversity when a country has different races. Some countries don't. Some do. I don't argue diversity as an ideal or a necessity. It is merely a fact where it can be found. I maintain only that all people be treated fairly and equally where they can be. Sometimes that means actively helping those who haven't.

Thank you for your support of a white majority state.
Carolyn Bryant is one white Democrat in an ocean of white Democrats that screwed over African-Americans. Let's not pretend she's unique in any way.
Since her actions led to the death of Emmett Till she is certainly not unique but like a lot of other whites in the US who mistreated blacks throughout your history.
Love to hear how that morally happens in the US in your opinion.
But do you really mean nope? So let me get this straight, you are completely okay and supportive of the idea of transforming the United States into a 99% population of white people as long as it's done morally? You would have nothing to say about the lack of diversity?
If that's your position then I'm impressed.
I really don’t care what percentage any given race makes up within the US population. Again, explain how you are “transforming” it morally. Transforming means intentional which is not a good start to your answer.

As I said - you're impressively thick. That isn't what I said. Now ph*q off.
”Hey how did Africa’s nation states come to their current position in the world as far as socioeconomic strength, political structure and even the current borders of the nations themselves?”
”It doesn’t matter.”
Just push all the “how it happened” stuff into the closet, hysterical. “Nothing to see here, folks. ‘King Leopold?’ Never heard of him.”
”Why do Black people in America have more per capita wealth than Black people in the DRC?” “It doesn’t matter!”
You think some man in Benin is wishing that his great-great-great-great grandmother had been kidnapped into slavery and tortured and raped by white overseers so that maybe instead of being in Benin, he’d be able to watch the SEC Network on the weekends. “Sorry your family got murdered but hey, here’s a coupon. It could be worse: that other guy’s family got killed and he doesn’t get a coupon.”
How or why what happened happened is irrelevant.
Would you rather live in the Congo in 2023 or Atlanta?
Benin actively participated in the slave trade for profit.
You don't understand anything.
lol.
Chattel slavery was not the norm in West Africa prior to the Atlantic slave trade. More often, slaves came in the form of defeated enemies whose subsequent generations would integrate into the larger society. It was after the demand for exporting slaves overseas became so high that many of the monarchies ruling large parts of Western and Saharan Africa engaged in full cooperation with slave traders, knowing the fate to which l they were sentencing slaves.
To say it doesn’t matter why your average person in Atlanta is better off than one in Porto-Novo is saying it doesn’t matter to know why your average person in Auckland is better off than one in Chernobyl. The “how and why” are critical. Chernobyl wasn’t always such a toxic place and it’s important to know what happened to make it the way it is today.

The how and why are completely irrelevant to the question "who's better off in 2023?"
Acknowledging the inescapable truth that the descendants of the slaves are on average better off in 2023 than the descendants of the people who weren't enslaved back in Africa has nothing to do with the past.
Even if we play your little how we got here is what really matters game the SLAVES faced much more adversity than the free Africans did. And they STILL come out on top.
Your point is absurd.

To be consistent with your previous remarks you should have said something like "yes , I support that option, because I don't care what the racial makeup is. "

No, I shouldn't but I know you can't follow an argument.

What an inability to acknowledge history. What happened to those racist white Democrats after Truman integrated the armed forces and Johnson pushed the Civil Rights Act? Strom Thurmond and Jesse Helms went where?

“I am so far ahead of Benin in this race!”
”That’s because your uncle shot Benin in his knee.”
”It doesn’t matter, quit living in the past, I’m winning!”

You keep sayin you dont care about racial make-up, but whenever presented with a massive majority of whites scenario, you waver. then you deny it.
Im following that back and forth clearly.
And you brought up "racists" which is a politically correct thing to do ... You are disgusting, and a fraud
