On a somewhat related note, last month Germany offered to pay 1.2 billion in reparations to Namibia for genocide during German colonia rule.

How about TRILLIONS in reparations for the Europeans (of various  religions, races and nationalities) that they wiped out during WWII.

Ever been to Israel? There's a reason cabbies pick you up at the airport in mercedes-benz. Germans are still paying reparations for the Holocaust.

Make it in during the winter.  Chile doesn't really work at 120

 

Funny we were at our place over the Fourth. The pool was 98 degrees!!  We were there in the spring and our neighbor put in a pool.  He added a chiller. I rolled my eyes.  Yeah whatever Mr Moneybags.  Well now I'm thinking of getting one.

slavery is an extreme of both, the difference is in one case wealthy corporate elite are the owners and in the other case the wealthy political elite are the owners.

No, American slavery was just the end result of racism. Just like the Holocaust was

Is it still considered racist if a black slave owner buys slaves from a black slave trader?

Yup, exceptions to the rule did nothing the rule itself. It was race based slavery. 

 

Those white gentlemen who raped their slaves and just let their own half white children be slaves also does not let you claim slavery was not racist.

Facing Reality: Two Truths about Race in America 

 

The charges of white privilege and systemic racism that are tearing the country apart float free of reality.

 

Two known facts, long since documented beyond reasonable doubt, need to be brought into the open and incorporated into the way we think about public policy:

 

American whites, blacks, Hispanics, and Asians have different violent crime rates and different means and distributions of cognitive ability. The allegations of racism in policing, college admissions, segregation in housing, and hiring and promotions in the workplace ignore the ways in which the problems that prompt the allegations of systemic racism are driven by these two realities.

Ever since reading The Bell Curve I wanted to ask Charles Murray a hypothetical: If white people had been stolen away from European by the millions and held captive in slavery in Asia for hundreds of years, and during that period it was illegal for them to learn to read the native language, how would that population would fair on IQ tests and in schools in the Asian language once it was legal for them to learn to read to attend school?

 

And if the white population performed at a significantly poorer rate than their Asian counterparts, would that prove that Asians are inherently smarter than white people?

My grandparents couldn’t read or write. Their son, my uncle, became an Oxford scholar. Is it your position that intelligence is somehow passed on to your offspring? Could it more accurately tied to a respect for education and dedicated work ethic?
