Will Blacks Ever Unite?

[codepa]

Today, I was in a forum with African-Americans and Africans discussing the book "THE MIS-EDUCATION OF THE NEGRO". This one African brother who tried so very hard to present himself as very knowledgeable in the areas of ancient history and overall black history and the plight of African-Americans in the US. Can you believe that he posted the following bullcrap and believed that he had actually presented a convincing argument.


In his attempt to belittle African-Americans he certainly did a wonderful job of displaying his own ignorance. When will some of our brothers learn, as Malcolm X so eloquently put it, "You can't hate the root of the tree without hating the tree. I keep asking myself, will we ever be able to unify?

Among the different races in the United States of America, blacks are the least advanced in most fields of human endeavor, with the exception of sports and entertainment, areas of activity where success depends more on physical rather than mental ability. Someone would say, and quite rightly that blacks are at a disadvantage in America because of racial discrimination. But let me point out that Jews have suffered racial discrimination for the better part of two thousand years culminating in the slaughter of six million of European Jewry during the Nazi era, yet they remain the most successful group of people on this earth.

It is possible inherent factors like genetic constitution might play an important role in this age-old question of why blacks are not successful when compared to other races. Do all groups of humans occupy the same rungs of the evolutionary scale or have some groups moved up to higher notches? Among humans, do blacks have a lower intelligence quotient (IQ)?

In the study of anthropology, one learns that the human species evolved from a common ancestor, the Homo erectus about 120,000 years ago, and branched off into three subspecies of the Homo sapiens; the Neanderthals, Cro-Magnons, and modern humans. However, the first two subspecies became extinct, apparently because they must have lacked certain genetic character traits that would have conferred on them the ability to survive through natural selection as expounded in Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution.

A logical extension of this theory of human evolution is that it is possible that among the various groups of modern humans there also exist differences in genetic traits, which confers on some groups, evolutionary advantages that would make them more successful than other groups in the struggle for survival; in other words, the survival of the fittest.

Is it possible therefore that blacks lack certain character traits that places our race at a disadvantage in the keen competition to secure the dwindling resources of the modern world in man’s struggle for social development since the dawn of globalization, which began with the voyages of discovery by Christopher Columbus, Ferdinand Gomez, Magellan and the other fifteenth and sixteenth century European seafaring pioneers?

To answer your question, no. If our people keep showing garbage like this, I highly doubt it.

I say just unite with who you can and forget the rest.

true,history has shown that 'racial affiliation' is never enough for an entire people to unite....it is more about the ideals/beliefs/actions of the people you work with and besides...everyone thats your skinfolk aint ya kinfolk...

I say this the Blacks that will unite are the ones that are trying to unite any one else when just fall off the edge of the earth. I hope we all unite but as another tread has shown interacial marriages are on the rise so you know they are lost. Also fools that are out for a quick buck won't give give a f-ck so thy will be out of luck. In the end that may not be the most important thing that could happen change and the rise of our people is more important than just getting along.
