@Jojothegoodperson I think thats an awfully prejudices view against immigrants that isnt as true as you might think. Immigrants, historically, have been the brightest minds we have had whether it be Tesla or Einstein.
@Jojothegoodperson Oh you mean once they got here, due to racism, many immigrants became poor and uneducated. Yes on that we agree. The racism of the past put in motion a viscous cycle that is hard to break even now where racism is far less than it used to be.
@Jojothegoodperson It seemed to be a good take from where I'm sitting.
@Jojothegoodperson USA I take it?
@Jojothegoodperson I wish i didnt, but yes :) I do live in the USA as well as the netherlands on and off.
@Jojothegoodperson I wasnt aware you were African American until just now, not that it makes a huge difference of course. But yea, I'd agree that there are issues internal to the AA community, there are shared issues, and there are issues thrust upon you, all of which ultimately give rise to all sorts of problems.
The crime rate of the AA community is a tough one because in part it comes from what you said earlier, racism of the past has caused a lot of harm in terms of things like lack of education or even just psychological abuse that ultimately gets passed down between generations.
@Jojothegoodperson Ahh so that would make you gray :)
I dont know if this is offensive or not. But I know when I was younger the kids that were black-white mixed in my friend group were called "oreos".
I wouldnt say they are incapable, thats a bit too harsh. Only that the wounds run deep and tend to get passed down and takes a conscious and sizable effort to reverse the damage historic racism has done.
We all wish casey was here. There is an easy way to tell when people wish @realcaseyrollins were here. Look around, if he isnt here, then that is that is so.
@xarvos
Forgot it how? I responded to it earlier here:
Yes he is. When he actually bothers to get into a debate rather than to just avoid it for the sake of keeping the peace, then he almost always has a perspective I appreciate :)
@Jojothegoodperson I wouldnt say I'm a genious... brilliant maybe, extremely smart, even devilishly handsome.. but im too modest to say I'm a genius :)
But, the reason I made this argument is because Americans messed with the immigrants by racism and made them had very little opportunities for creating businesses. That's why I think immigrants are uneducated but I don't know. I'm trying to say that immigrants weren't used the right way, they were used the wrong way. 😐😐
