@ThePrinceofDarkness, Facts are, Vikings set up extensive trade routes that greatly benefited Europe even after the Viking age ended. Created the first unified Russian nation. They were very accepting to other cultures, they would quickly integrate into the cultures of lands they conquered and spread their own culture. Facts are, Vikings were body guards the the Byzantine emperors for hundreds of years.
-
@CriTiKa1, okay, but did they or did they not conquer and violently settle in land in Europe? You can bet your ass America greatly improved the Americas economic development and we have a "mixing pot" of cultures, doesn't negate the fact that it was violently ripped from the natives hands? So don't really see how that proves that they are "dirty land thieves"
-
@CriTiKa1, I'm with you. Vikings are bad ass. That's like saying the Romans were nothing but land thieves. Sure they were but they made contributions and brought other cultures to other lands. Which is both a positive and a negative but if everyone had just stayed in their little pockets of land, their "ancestral home land" the world would be a terrible place.
-
@ThePrinceofDarkness, So? Every single group of people has done that. You say that as if it's a bad, uncommon thing. It isn't. The Mongols butchered hundreds of thousands of people when they were carving out their empire. But that empire later led to greater trade between Europe and Asia. They weren't "dirty land thieves", they were conquerors. And so were the Vikings.
-
@CriTiKa1, slapping another word on the problem doesn't make it better. England destroyed the government ruling India back when it was thriving, but they introduced schooling, roads, and trade. Yet India is one of the poorest countries in the world. You can't just look at the goods. Look at native Americans or native african people's. They are "dirty land thieves" who's homeland benefits from the new found materials. Rome is my favorite empire of all time, but did you know they claimed every war was defensive. You know why? Because conquest was viewed poorly by the masses because it was wrong. But if you claimed the lands in a defensive war, hey man spoils. No one is saying good and bad didn't come out from it, I'm just saying is they stole the land, by force, settled there, and blended and mated with the orignal population.

@Night Shift Patrol, my favorite is when they say something like "our founding fathers didn't even have machine guns so the 2nd amendment shouldn't be valid" There was a very well known crank powered musket ball shooting Gatling gun that was sold to the public for around $100. Expensive, but it existed.
-
@Night Shift Patrol, it's going to only get worse. First, the Christians are targeted and their rights are taken away. Then they take the guns. Then they round up the Christians and Jews again. (I may sound radical if you're not a Christian) I'm only 17 and own around 6-7 guns. Not even counting what the rest of my family owns. Let them come and try.
-
@Fun Facts 101, lol their rights? Oh no "christians can't force everyone else to pray in school" oh is me, the oppression is horrible. The 70% majority is being oppressed by the said majority in the government government. The guns thing I agree with, takes citizens guns never works out (ie Hitler and USSR) but christians being oppressed? Please. Go on one of the religious post here and sat how liked the atheist are

@ Seductive Cheeto, well here a super short verison. 1. All races have gangs 2. Whites sell more crack, blacks smoke more crack, whites like coke better. 3.) More white single moms than blacks, almost twice as many (yes population gap, but blacks have higher mrtality rate) 4.) False, only one had gang affiliation, 1 was ex military, 2 were under 18 and all were unarmed 5.) False, blacks are 21x more likely to be met with lethal force (fun fact: 354 blacks shot last 3 years I think it was, 277 of them were unarmed) 6.) All races go to jail, justicesystem is empirically racist and any 3rd grader could do enough research to see that that is true)

-
@ThePrinceofDarkness, 1. Yes that's true, but how many races still have war tribes? (Only one) 2. You sure the sells more crack is true? 3. LMAO in America sure but what about Africa? 4. But all were being apprehended for a violent crime. 5. Fun fact, that number is about the same as whites :D I know shocking, and Hispanics are up there as well, but it seems like neither of those races have a victim complex. 6. Sure, and no. The justice system does discriminate in a way yes, but it is not by race. And okay? What does a 3rd grader have to do with anything?
-
@ Seductive Cheeto, 1.) Not sure what the European repeated destruction of African has to do with African Americans. 2.) Yup, you think black people are chemist and made it? There are files showing that fbi sold it to black drug dealers who turned and sold it to the community. There's always a bigger fish. 3.) Once again not sure how a 3rd world country with a like 30 something infancy mortality rate has to do with America but okay? Also, whites cause African to be a 3rd world btw. It was once a very thriving culture that rival rome, was destroyed, rebuilt buy Muslims, christians destroyed it, rebuilt again into smaller tribes because they didn't have resources yet, and enslaved, so your point? 4.) Source? Didn't think so 5.) Um how is 2/3 the same as 1/3? If you have 4 slices and I have 2 slices is that the same number? 6.) Lol the sentences for blacks are longer for the same crime, black juveniles are 3x more likely to be trialed as adults than whites. Not sure what it's dis
-
@ThePrinceofDarkness, 1. Africans have had warring tribes a long time before Europeans were even called Europeans. 2. Yes Black people can be chemists too, they have the same mental capacity and efficiency as any other race 3. Oh I'm sorry I didn't know we could pick and choose our statistics. 4. Sources? Sure! http://thereelnetwork.net/the-primary-victims-of-police-brutality-and-theyre-not-black-people/ http://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/apr/21/police-kill-more-whites-than-blacks-but-minority-d/?page=all

@ Seductive Cheeto, more sources for 4 if you want: http://libertynews.com/2014/12/facts-cops-kill-whites-at-almost-double-the-rate-that-cops-kill-blacks/ http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2014/12/18/racial_cop_stories_that_didnt_make_the_cut_125004.html http://mobile.nytimes.com/blogs/takingnote/2015/09/04/the-real-story-of-race-and-police-killings/?referer= Want to whine more about how all African-Americans are victims of the big bad racist white system?
-
@ Seductive Cheeto, 1.) Africa is America. Also feudal system in Europe, tribal. 2.) Cool skip the how CIA and FBI giving it to the black community part 3.) African stats aren't American stats. And the American stats prove you wrong 4.) All garbage sources, hey look what CNN said. CNN has zero credibility and those two articles don't talk about how whites make up 60% of population. More are statisticlly going to die to police because they are statisticlly in contact with them more.
-
@ThePrinceofDarkness, 1. Uh no. And do you even know what a feudal system is.... 2. Source me please, I will gladly admit I'm wrong there. 3. Sure yes, well in my neighborhood there aren't any black people so statistics here say black people don't exist. 4. Right, sure. Even though the CDC says the same sooo
-
@ThePrinceofDarkness, how sad that people won't try to make changes based on actual fact but will victimize themselves in order to stroke their ego and add fuel to the flame, hopefully we get real people as politicians and speakers one day. You win, I don't want to argue with you anymore, you're too childish to see the truth.
-
@ Seductive Cheeto, I'm too childish? I've read every one of your "sources", debunked them, and gave counters to even your agruments about how abandonment in Africa somehow relates to abandonment in Amercia. You've read none of mine, avoid must of my points, and use ad hominem to end a debate. And I'm the child? Wow. Glad to know that all of the scientific articles, social experiments, and court cases about racism in America are just my way to stroke my big fat ego.
-
@ Seductive Cheeto, I'm not insulted I think it's funny. Also me not agreeing and countering your argument is not ignoring them, it's called conversation. And I posted one blog that the link to an article I didn't have permission to put because you have to pay for it. And you wouldn't know what the other links said because you looked at none of them. But no I don't win, because I tried to make someone on the Internet a little more open minded and failed, so today is a sad day. October first will forever be a day of mourning.
-
@ Seductive Cheeto, CNN is nor a credible source. And your two sources contradicted eachother so how can they both be reputable? Either one is wrong and the other is right or they are both wrong. And I responded to both talking about the population gap. On claims 2000 victims in 2014 and the other claim 1039. Which is it? And I'm not being sarcastic. It legitimately saddens me that you believe mainstream media is a credible source of scientific evidence
-
@ Seductive Cheeto, no it doesn't... the title of it is "CNN says More Whites Were Killed From Police Brutality in 2014" and the other one specifically talks about 2014 stats while using stats from 2001-2014 to get the statistics you love so much. But know I officially know that you don't even read your own links. So it was fun talking.

@Generic Hot Chick, my grandma had to put her dog in a stroller for a while after it had leg surgery. It was a stroller specially made for dogs but it looks like one you can put a kid in. Whenever me and the family are out with my 10 year old nephew whenever he gets mad about something or sees something that catches his eye he likes to run off in the middle of the crowd and we can't get to him or we'll look around and be like where did he go and we'll see him way the hell away from us. During those times if I had seen somebody selling child leashes I would not have hesitated to buy one because little kids running off is not something they should do in Houston. We honestly think that he is at least slightly austistic.
-
@Relatively Gruntled, some kids don't have the mental capability to be on a crowded street. I mean some kids actually have mental disorders where the sound of traffic or other loud noises will disturb them and lead to them running off to a quiet place. These would allow those children's parents to keep up with them.
-
@George Feeny, then that's a viable reason. But there are plenty of people using these just because they feel like it. I was at the pediatrician's office with my son and saw a lady with her child on a leash like this and she let him run around on the leash while she was texting and such. I over heard another kid ask her why she was on it and she said because she wanted to be able to control where he goes. Not a good reason. How about putting the phone down and actually pay attention to your child. I then got called to the doc so end of story lol.
-
@George Feeny, I have met children with disorders like you described. As usual, medical reasons are an exception. However, parents in this day and age are paying less and less attention to their kids. My mum works in learning support at a school, and they have a hard time even trying to get parents to read to their children.
-
You have six points 1.) Form gangs (all races have their own gangs ie kkk, Chinese mafia, cartel, crips, etc) 2.) Sell crack (whites and blacks sell crack, statisticlly whites sell it more blacks use it more, white prefer coke) 3.) Running out on the girl you got pregnant (statistically a lot more white single moms than blacks, 2\3 compared to our 1\3, yes whites have a higher population but blacks have a higher death rate. https://singlemotherguide.com/single-mother-statistics/ ) 4.) Riots because your neighborhood drug dealer got shot (false, only 1 out of the 6 mainstream shootings even remotely had gang affiliation, 2 were under 18 and one was ex military) 5.) Police brutality is equal (also false, blacks are 21x more likely to be met with deadly force than whites, and if you can do math, that is far larger than the population gap 6.)
I have an idea! Let's make lots of these. But also have #blackCulture and #his- *gets shot*
