    Kind of putting things in a very broad spectrum, aren't you? What the hell is the 'patriot dienasty'? Are you referring to the Patriot Act? You'll find similar statistics (on certain matters) in other cultures. However, there are a lot of crackpots in the U.S. It's all that DAMN HEAVY METAL DEVIL MUSIC they listen to.

    Blacks are more docile than whites, thats how the whole slave trade thing started in the first place. Can you imagine any race trying to enslave white's? It couldn't happen, we are more aggressive and proactive in our enviroment.

    Consider the transformation that the western world has undergone in the last few hundred years, the development of science, philosophy, technology, religions, culture etc whereas in Africa they would still be living in dung houses and drinking tree sap if it wasn't for white colonial intervention.

    The black races have contributed virtually nothing to history and would probably still be unable to read and write if it wasn't for the rest of the world educating them.

    This isn't racism, just the facts of life. I got nothing against black people but the reason they don't become serial killers and enslave countries is because they are perfectly content chewing straw and working in nightclub toilets charging you a quid for a towel every time you take a piss.

    Thats a bit OTT...black people wouldn't be able to read and write without others teaching them> So what about all the great black leaders....?? They haven't contributed to history,well you my friend needs to go and take a history lesson.

    And no-one would try to enslave white people?? Go and tell that to Mugabi..;..

    And each culture has it's own way of living,may be they choose not to live in huge flashy mansiosn etc. Some peoples just like being in there natural state e.g. aborigines

    Even in most sports,you'll find blacks dominating,whites are nearly always playing catch up.

    And I'm going by steroetypes here, but how would you explain the hundreds if not thousands of white boys who are inflienced by black music and try to be...BLACK??(Not that I'm saying all black people are gangsters etc,like I said,going by steroetypes)

    Let's not get over excited about Bilbo

    Thank you for your thoughtful and brilliant history lesson, dildo...I mean bilbo. Seems you forgot to mention some eminent scientific figures such as these:


    African American Scientists
    Benjamin Banneker
    (1731-1806) Born into a family of free blacks in Maryland, Banneker learned the rudiments of reading, writing, and arithmetic from his grandmother and a Quaker schoolmaster. Later he taught himself advanced mathematics and astronomy. He is best known for publishing an almanac based on his astronomical calculations.
    Rebecca Cole
    (1846-1922) Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Cole was the second black woman to graduate from medical school (1867). She joined Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell, the first white woman physician, in New York and taught hygiene and childcare to families in poor neighborhoods.
    Edward Alexander Bouchet
    (1852-191 Born in New Haven, Connecticut, Bouchet was the first African American to graduate (1874) from Yale College. In 1876, upon receiving his Ph.D. in physics from Yale, he became the first African American to earn a doctorate. Bouchet spent his career teaching college chemistry and physics.
    Dr. Daniel Hale Williams
    (1856-1931) Williams was born in Pennsylvania and attended medical school in Chicago, where he received his M.D. in 1883. He founded the Provident Hospital in Chicago in 1891, and he performed the first successful open heart surgery in 1893.
    George Washington Carver
    (1865?-1943) Born into slavery in Missouri, Carver later earned degrees from Iowa Agricultural College. The director of agricultural research at the Tuskegee Institute from 1896 until his death, Carver developed hundreds of applications for farm products important to the economy of the South, including the peanut, sweet potato, soybean, and pecan.
    Charles Henry Turner
    (1867-1923) A native of Cincinnati, Ohio, Turner received a B.S. (1891) and M.S. (1892) from the University of Cincinnati and a Ph.D. (1907) from the University of Chicago. A noted authority on the behavior of insects, he was the first researcher to prove that insects can hear.
    Ernest Everett Just
    (1883-1941) Originally from Charleston, South Carolina, Just attended Dartmouth College and the University of Chicago, where he earned a Ph.D. in zoology in 1916. Just's work on cell biology took him to marine laboratories in the U.S. and Europe and led him to publish more than 50 papers.
    Archibald Alexander
    (1888-195 Iowa-born Alexander attended Iowa State University and earned a civil engineering degree in 1912. While working for an engineering firm, he designed the Tidal Basin Bridge in Washington, D.C. Later he formed his own company, designing Whitehurst Freeway in Washington, D.C. and an airfield in Tuskegee, Alabama, among other projects.
    Roger Arliner Young
    (1889-1964) Ms. Young was born in Virginia and attended Howard University, University of Chicago, and University of Pennsylvania, where she earned a Ph.D. in zoology in 1940. Working with her mentor, Ernest E. Just, she published a number of important studies.
    Dr. Charles Richard Drew
    (1904-1950) Born in Washington, D.C., Drew earned advanced degrees in medicine and surgery from McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, in 1933 and from Columbia University in 1940. He is particularly noted for his research in blood plasma and for setting up the first blood bank.


    African American Inventors
    Thomas L. Jennings
    (1791-1859) A tailor in New York City, Jennings is credited with being the first African American to hold a U.S. patent. The patent, which was issued in 1821, was for a dry-cleaning process.
    Norbert Rillieux
    (1806-1894) Born the son of a French planter and a slave in New Orleans, Rillieux was educated in France. Returning to the U.S., he developed an evaporator for refining sugar, which he patented in 1846. Rillieux's evaporation technique is still used in the sugar industry and in the manufacture of soap and other products.
    Benjamin Bradley
    (1830?-?) A slave, Bradley was employed at a printing office and later at the Annapolis Naval Academy, where he helped set up scientific experiments. In the 1840s he developed a steam engine for a war ship. Unable to patent his work, he sold it and with the proceeds purchased his freedom.
    Elijah McCoy
    (1844-1929) The son of escaped slaves from Kentucky, McCoy was born in Canada and educated in Scotland. Settling in Detroit, Michigan, he invented a lubricator for steam engines (patented 1872) and established his own manufacturing company. During his lifetime he acquired 57 patents.
    Lewis Howard Latimer
    (1848-1929) Born in Chelsea, Mass., Latimer learned mechanical drawing while working for a Boston patent attorney. He later invented an electric lamp and a carbon filament for light bulbs (patented 1881, 1882). Latimer was the only African-American member of Thomas Edison's engineering laboratory.
    Granville T. Woods
    (1856-1910) Woods was born in Columbus, Ohio, and later settled in Cincinnati. Largely self-educated, he was awarded more than 60 patents. One of his most important inventions was a telegraph that allowed moving trains to communicate with other trains and train stations, thus improving railway efficiency and safety.
    Madame C.J. Walker
    (1867-1919) Widowed at 20, Louisiana-born Sarah Breedlove Walker supported herself and her daughter as a washerwoman. In the early 1900s she developed a hair care system and other beauty products. Her business, headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, amassed a fortune, and she became a generous patron of many black charities.
    Garrett Augustus Morgan
    (1877-1963) Born in Kentucky, Morgan invented a gas mask (patented 1914) that was used to protect soldiers from chlorine fumes during World War I. Morgan also received a patent (1923) for a traffic signal that featured automated STOP and GO signs. Morgan's invention was later replaced by traffic lights.
    Frederick McKinley Jones
    (1892-1961) Jones was born in Cincinnati, Ohio. An experienced mechanic, he invented a self-starting gas engine and a series of devices for movie projectors. More importantly, he invented the first automatic refrigeration system for long-haul trucks (1935). Jones was awarded more than 40 patents in the field of refrigeration.
    David Crosthwait, Jr.
    (1898-1976) Born in Nashville, Tennessee, Crosthwait earned a B.S. (1913) and M.S. (1920) from Purdue University. An expert on heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, he designed the heating system for Radio City Music Hall in New York. During his lifetime he received some 40 U.S. patents relating to HVAC systems.

    That's just a brief list. I guess John Coltrane wasn't all that much either, right?

    Hmmmmm......


    I dunno man , you try not to have certain prejudice's and as a whiteman with a 2nd class high school education and a fairly liberal upbringing I'm sometimes ashamed to admit i do make racist comments.


    Bilbo i don't agree with you but you're fully entitled to your opinion .

    Amongst Black Africans you would not believe the level of racism , tribal conflict and Prejudice ! I don't know how much of this is determined by History and economics but if you think Racism in England is Bad try picking the Brains of a Ghanaian and Ask him what he thinks of a Nigerian , it's fucking shocking .


    Shadow Jumped on Bilbo's case with quite a bit of enthusiasm and he may have a point but the more important question is Why is Africa lagging behind the rest of the world in terms of development ?

    Why ?

    The easy lazy answer is the Slave trade but truth is the Slave trade was established in Africa Thousands of years before a Whiteman muddied his feet on the Gold Coast !

    Intertribal Conflict ? Europe had to contend with untold conflict and disease and still managed to prosper and flourish !

    Lack of resources ? No Africa has vast untapped resources .


    I like Africans , i was best Man at my mates wedding and he was French/Cameroon we use to talk about Black and White differences and he was well educated on the subject and was more vocal and critical of Black people than anyone I've ever met !

    When i was 17 i worked at an industrial Glasscutters i was fresh out of school and eager to do well and i did ! My attitude to work has always been 100% positive no matter what I've done especially as i didn't do very well at school .

    When there was alot of work on we'd call in Agency Staff the Majority of whom were black , amongst these was my friend Patrick ( Frog ) .
    The women i had no problem with ( at 18 i was supervisor ) i even met my 1st serious girlfriend a blackgirl at this time but the Black guys were alot harder to control and alot more hostile to criticism and less inclined to show initiative they were also alot more absence amongst Black men and whilst you try not to think along Racist lines sometimes it's fucking impossible .

    I remember having serious arguments with my girlfriend who would call me all kinds of names under the sun after some of the things I'd say about Black men being Lazy and not wanting to get up in the morning i never questioned Black Intelligence quite the contrary

    Black Guys are every bit as capable as Whitemen but i don't thank they are as proactive as Bilbo said weather it's true or not i don't know it's just an opinion

    I will say one thing for Blackpeople they are alot more Community minded than White people , during Break times food and drink was shared amongst The Blacks ( i use to call them ' the blecks ' in a south African accent ) whilst the White People wouldnt Share with anyone , not out of malice it just wasn't in there nature .
    Black people are alot more fun to be around and i feel more relaxed and confident when around them i can't say the same about White people , Black people will let you know whats on their mind straight away !

    The Blecks at my work i was very friendly with they respected me because i was firm with them and they appreciated aggression even today i still have many Black mates and they know my opinions and we argue all the time and if you heard some of the comments i make when I'm with them you'd think i was a member of the Klu Klux Klan but to anyone initiated and who knows me its further from the truth than it could possibly be and it works both ways especially when I'm getting Interracial Website links in my inbox .

    I just think sometimes Black guys need a kick up the Arse but they absolutely do not lack in ability or intelligence and whilst Bilbo was perhaps a little naive with his comments remember this is a forum and the worlds problems are solved through dialogue .

    Aww man you guys take things way too seriously I was only messing around.

    Shadow made me laugh though with his Wikipedia copy and paste of important black contributors to history. Every single one of them was post slavery. As I said before, prior to White involvment in Africa in the 1700's onwards the African wildlife had contributed more to history than it's indigenous peoples

    But don't worry guys I'm not really racist. Anyone who knows me knows I take the piss out of every single nation on God's earth equally. Let's face it, we can't all be English, as the Bible says God can do with the clay as he wishes, he can make fine pottery (English) or he can toss it away and discard it (all the other unimportant nations on earth)

    We can always count on you to play Devil's Advocate.

    I think your point has as much validity as the original post.

    Kind of makes you wonder why Michael Jackson is trying to be like us??

    thats an obvious one. Not only does he have rythem and all that but he can also get a hooked up trial when he messes up.

    the patriot dynasty was refering to everyone calling the patriots the best football team in history when they have won 3 superbowls (2 by last second fieldgoal and 1 by running out the clock). They then go ahead and say that weak armed tom brady is the best qb in history because he had a rule invented for him to win a 2001 game against oakland and when it actually came down to him doing something clutch (colts play off game this year when they were behind by 4 "oh no cant kick a field goal we're fucked) he threw an int because he cant lead a game winning drive and throw a game winning touchdown like montana elway or favre.

    I know a bunch of white people that try to act like they are a gansta and i fully maintain my belief that the funniest thing you'll see in the world is a 100 pound white guy thats like 5''8 running around all cocky like he can beat somebody up. Ever hear a white kid wearing aeropostale living in one of the richest neighborhoods around where you live saying he's OG? classic. The white rapper show made my self race hating what it is today.

    I don't get the lazy stereotypes of black people because every legitimate american sport i watch on tv is dominated by them plus i've never met a lazy one in real life. Drug usage is even vastly different. Statistically blackpeople are more likely to smoke marijuana while whites are more likely to do coke, crack and meth.

    I think your point has as much validity as the original post.
    Thanks BoxingGorilla, it always amazes me how serious some people on this board take what I say though.

    I'm still chuckling at Shadow's list of great Black people I mean did you read it?

    Edward Alexander Bouchet, the first 'black' man to get a degree I mean wow what an achievement. I mean you know when you are scraping the barrell when your list of 'great' people has to include people whose accomplishments consists of getting a degree and becoming a school teacher . Of course it was a white man's invented university and he was educated by white people in a white world with white knowledge but whatever right.

    My fave though was Elijah McCoy whose great contribution to the world was a lubricating oil for a steam engine! So let's ignore that it was all white men who invented the steam engine but give credit to the young black chap who managed to make some grease, which to be honest was probably all his white superior's trusted him to play around with.

    It's like crediting the guy who used his own homemade biological powder recipe to give Rocky Marciano's jockstrap a softer wash and then trying to put him in the Boxing Hall of Fame alongside Ray Robinson, Ali and Roberto Duran.
