    Precedents are a bad way to rule. Slavery, for example, is a precedent. If you truly believe that White gov'ts are inherently racist, then why are they so much more successful than African or Asian goernments on average?

    BINGO!

    Not only should it not matter (because that would be outrageous discrimination), but there is NO POSSIBLE WAY of measuring something like that.

    The reason White governments are usually more successful is because they appropriate (steal) the land and natural resources of other people. You need look no further than the USA to see this glaring truth.
    The land was stolen from the Native Americans and then enslaved Africans were made to work the land.
    That is how the American govt became so successful in such a short time.

    And who did the early Europeans steal their land from?

    No one. There were no brown people there. Whoops-a-daisy for your argument about white people :)

    I feel sorry for them. I'd be embarrassed to have family members talk so stupidly.

    This would include Europe, I suppose? From whom was this land stolen?

    You might think so. But for a people to raise the average life expectancy of another race and bring them out of the stone age, stop large scale human sacrifice and slow down cannibalism would be regarded as good things.

    Actually, most African slaves brought to the New World were enslaved and sold by other Africans to Europeans. And truly, most American wealth did not com from slaves or the slave states. It came from the North and its manufacturing centers.

    Even in the South, the end was coming. It was easily seen that Slaves simply would not work as hard as free men and required a higher degree of supervision.

    What about South Africa? Australia? All the African countries that were colonized by European countries that have now been kicked out?

    Of course you would. Wouldn't want any non-racist independent thinkers letting the side down, right?

    How did EUROPE become so clever and/or powerful that they could steal those lands? You are talking about the after effects of the clever, not the origins.

    Let go by the Europeans would be more accurate. And boy howdy, look how the standard of living fell in those countries. Not to mention the odd genocide (Rwanda, Burundi, Congo).

    It appears this thread is getting away from the subject of reparations.
    Maybe somebody can start another thread concerning the origins of White/Black/Asian governments.

    PLEASE don't hijack my thread.

    Thank you. :)

    PLEASE don't try to hijack this thread. We are discussing reparations. Thank you.
    I never should have responded to the first post concerning other governments.

    So why are you demanding reparations of the US rather than the people ho first enslaved your ancestors?

    That's a much bigger question than Moriah is interested in. She already has her answer: Whitey stole everything.

    Actually the are very switched on, intelligent and inspiring people. They are doing what they love, helping people and very good business men.

    Why are you judging them?

    I sence a bit of racism....

    They're pretty fit, so that makes sense.

    Funny vid though, eh? They can be very 'inappropriate', but I love their easy self-respect and humour.
