But I do. Please return to your regular business if you have nothing to add here. Like I said, Black people don't have much to be proud of. Look at their history within the past 600 years and it has been downright shameful and embarrasing when you compare it to the rest of the human race. Look at it from the pas 60 years and it has been a catastrophe that is holding back the rest of the human race.

Idiot, you don't know anything about me.

ahahahaha

OP, you're thinking too much about a kid blasting music.

BTW, I started to listening to hip hop when I was 12 or 13...I'm 26 now and still listen to hip hop.

1.) So what I gotta be a square and listen to steely dan or elton john in order to enjoy my music at high volume now??? All of the sudden someone's insecure because they like loud muisic??? Did you ever think that maybe some of these people can't afford a house so they blast their music when and where they can????

No, you didn't. You'd rather assume the worst of a culture and degrade them with irrational assumptions consisting solely of your own confusion.

I can only imagine the kind of conclusions you come to watching Africans or Indians pound on tribal drums while chanting. You act like your doing a case study on apes. You'd just be that weird outsider writing notes of speculation about situations you have no real insight into because I guarantee you any real black dude from Oakland is not going to fuck with someone who thinks like you.

Simply put, if I blast Snoop Dogg for an old lady, she'll hate it. If I blast Sinatra she'll love it. Grow up and learn that people are haters, including yourself, it's not that complicated.

2.) Since when has being secure with yourself had anything to do with crime?? Kids in oakland grow up wanting to be hustlers, pimps, mobbers and robbers. When you have criminals raising criminals you get crime. For instance, if you started talking like you did in your post around a group of black people born and raised in oakland who like loud music, you'll probably get shot.

It's called respect, if you don't show it, you don't get it. Do I think it's right?? No, but judging by the fact that every recorded civilization on earth has entered into war with other countries or even themselves I'd have to go with the already well known fact that humans, no matter the race, can be violent.

3.) You're broke, Iverson is not. Again you're talking about a subject you've never experienced or been a true part of. People with money buy nice things and its been that way since money was money, get used to it.

4.) Exactly, you grew up listening to a culture that doesn't even accept you. Now you're just mad you can't get us to like you so you're trying to find faults in ghetto culture.

Next time you decide to post about the lives of people you have zero affiliation with, please don't for your own good. You really don't know what you're talking about and a lot of what you said is juvenile.

I don't go around posting about how white people are the largest group of mass murders known to man.

Co-sign.

Well, I can see you don't want to debate head on. If "ahahahaha" is all you've got then I guess I'm done with you.

You don't want to have a discussion. You're just telling everyone that they are wrong or an idiot. You can't have a discussion with someone like you.

I didn't say that to everyone. But I'd be more than happy to debate you if you think I am incorrect in my assessment of people of sub-saharan origin. But I hope you know what you're talking about and leave all the PC crap out of this.

You think any sane person would want to have a discussion with someone that says this:

Very sad indeed. It's like trying to have a discussion with a KKK member.

But you're not talking to a KKK member. You're talking to someone who's many levels above you when it comes to African history. Also, why would a racist person (someone hates Africans) name himself 'Narmer' on this forum? If you don't want to debate, fine, just don't go around branding me a KKK member when you don't know the first thing about me. Unlike you, I make my statements based on my experience and education. Unless you want to learn, you really shouldn't speak on something you know nothing about.

You cannot brand me because you know little about me, if anything. However, I can say what I said based on my extensive study of African history. I have no problem teaching but I don't take you as a serious person. Now, if you're serious we can debate. Otherwise, please do us all a favor and STFU on this subject (of which you know nothing about).

ahahaha what a tough guy you are. Someone so wise telling other people to stfu and calling them idiots. It's people like you holding back the human race, not the inferior race as you call them. You're obviously all talk. If you know so much, teach us all.

It's clear to me you don't want to debate my original statement and instead you want make yourself look cool/strong or whatever. Perhaps it's because this is a public forum and you're afraid. Anyway, I can understand you not wanting to debate my original statment because you would embarrass yourself. Unless you want to debate, I have nothing else to say to you.

Come on, back up your statements. You say they have held back the human race. Teach me how they've held back the human race. Your knowledge needs to be shared. You said black people have little to be proud of, teach us why. You're the one doing the big talking saying how little I know. Well then show me how little I really do know.

If you like we can start with the post-colonization era. I say thy've held back the human race because, unlike most of the rest of the world that was subjugated to colonialism, many African nations have regressed in terms of health and education. Worse, resources from the rest of the world (in the form of aid) have had to be sent to that region and the we have little to show for it. You can compare almost any stats between post-colonial African and non-African states and the numbers are humiliating for Africa.

Until the 16th century most African states were independent and being called 'swarthy' was something to be proud of. No longer. After being conquered many times over by Europeans, today European cultures take primacy in almost all of Africa.

there is a difference. Europeans came in and drew random lines to declare territory splitting up various groups and tribes and gave preferential treatment to certain groups leading to a resentment by the others. This obviously didn't turn out well after they left. with the colonization of asia the countries for the most part were already drawn with distinct nations and they were already functioning nations before the euros came in.

Today, there are over 1m Chinese farmers doing the jobs Africans can't or won't (lol). One African leader has called this a 'catastrophe'.
