1. So what's wrong with a little socialism? How has capitalism worked for the US so far? It almost collapsed and yet countries like Canada and Germany remained strong and even grew their economies . . . hoorray for tea party "free market" systems.

2. And these "immigrants" built Germany and Norway as well? they are the ones who work at the macdonalds and mow their lawns? Enough of that nonsense pls.

1. I have no problem with socialism. I actually support many aspects of a command economy. I do not like how capitalist societies can be excessive. And the U.S. still has the largest economy in the world. So what are you trying to say? Germany and Canada has robust economies, I wont deny that, but nothing compared to the U.S.

2. Immigrants did not build Germany, but U.S. money and other Western nation money sure did help Germany when Germany became unified after the Cold War. I do not know much about Norway's system to comment on them.

Ileke-IdI:

Even tho some of thse natural resources were "stolen".  Labor --- > Brain drain, cheap labors etc. Land ---> Some of their companies are also abroad, they spread out, helps bring money into their economy.

The level of ignorance here is appalling.

1. America was not built on brain drain - contrary to the false tales we are constantly told. The backbone of america's economy is built on the hardwork of white americans. The only reason there is "brain drain" at all is because WE fight tooth and nail, pray and fast for visas to go there. America didnt beg us.

2. cheap labor? And the labor in India and China would be practically free then right? why havent they become so great?

3. The outsourcing of jobs is NOT a boon to the US economy, it only helps the rich who can make more profit (cheaper sources of labour), avoid paying proportionate taxes and take advantage of misguided govt tax breaks.

The US has one thing on its side that the likes of German dont have - population! and that means a bigger market.

Typical black liberal theology that holds no water. If America kicks all those folks out they will be MUCH stronger! For starters that will remove the large bulk of welfare and medicaid recipients. Crime will also go down.

You must be an ILLEGAL ALIEN IN AMERICA.

you are BITTER and your Rants are baseless.

it will be WHITE PEOPLE that will Deport you back to your ancestral land.

Besides, only 2.8 million people are on Welfare and most of those are WHITES.

America BLEW UP on cheap Free Labor.  Today corporations are in south Asia using Cheap Labor to put together commodities. they get their CHEAP RAW MATERIALS FROM AFRICA.  Be wary of SELF-HATING AFRICANS, They will undermine you to whites to gain favor.  when in reality Whites today are STARVING TOO

davidylan:

i have no interest, many are indeed an inspiration . . . the rest are a disgrace.

Can't you say that about any population of people? I am a firm believer in the talented 10% Not everyone is destined for greatness.

davidylan:


Eugene Robinson's book?   What next? One by Ann Coulter?

Eugen Robinson brings up some valid points in his book. The dynamics of black America such as Upper Class blacks, Immigrants from Africa and the Caribbean, regular black folks, and the black middle class.

davidylan:


Misleading! That's because as a percentage of the US population you have FAR more whites than blacks. Blacks are DISPROPORTIONATELY represented on welfare/medicaid rolls.

Well the fact in the matter is, that there is more whites on welfare than any other people. We are not going be proportions my friend. Millions of more white people are on welfare. Are they not a drain on the population?


Finally, someone who is worthy of debate.

We were discussing this in one of my business class.

[size=14pt]America is in a Depression!!![/size]

don't believe the hype.  People here are Mentally Screwed up because they cannot find jobs.  OR Angry that they have to work at Jobs they Hate!
and the dollar does not STRETCH as far as it used to.

According to Rosenberg, "You know you are in a depression when:

"Congress (extends) jobless benefits seven times (in the past two years) when almost half (of those) unemployed have been looking for at least a half year;"
the adult male unemployment rate (25 - 54 years) "hit a post-WW II (high and still tops) the 1982 peak," the worst then since the Great Depression;
"youth unemployment is stuck near 25%," and for inner-city black youths it's 80% or higher; "these developments will have profound long-term consequences - social, economic and political;"
the depression's fiscal costs keep mounting, the federal deficit soaring with no end to it in sight;
for over a year into a supposed recovery, the Fed still contemplates new ways to stimulate growth, its tool, of course, printing money (funny money, or as one analyst calls it, "toilet paper" and quantitative easing, compounding the deficit, or the equivalent of throwing fuel on a fire instead of monetary and fiscal sanity plus sound economy policies to extinguish it;
after two years of record trillion dollar plus deficits to kick-start the economy, interest rates are shockingly low, flashing weakness, not strength; to wit, on August 24, the 5-year note was 1.36%, 7-year at $1.95%, 10-year at 2.50%, and 30 year at 3.57%; as well as 30-year fixed mortgage rates at record lows below 4.5% (4.42% on August 24), despite "no fewer than eight (government) programs to put a floor under the housing market;" we're in big trouble "when (Washington) can expend so many resources (on) one sector" in vain;
the FDIC keeps shuttering more banks; again, the carnage keeps spreading, yet most economists cling tenaciously an economic recovery theme, at most hit by a soft patch; Rosenberg's response - "Some recovery (when) the private credit market is basically defunct, what replaced it was rampant government intervention (buying time) by trying to (put) a floor under the economy;" once it stops, and it will, they'll be no hiding the dire truth, and no end of pain for growing millions.
The Worst Is Yet to Come
Financial expert and investor safety advocate Martin Weiss began warning about a major economic decline long before it began and keeps at it, citing evidence most analysts downplay or ignore, including:

America's worst ever housing depression showing no signs of abating; since January 2006, housing starts alone have plunged from 2.3 million annually to a recent 477,000 low that may not yet reflect a bottom because demand is so weak for this bellwether industry;
record long-term unemployment, its worst since first officially tabulated over 60 years ago; and
"the most chronic credit squeeze ever recorded, suffer(ing) its deepest plunge since WW II."
As a result, he sees deepening economic trouble ahead, no matter what steps the administration, Congress or the Fed undertake. He expects little more stimulus, just another futile central bank attempt to print money (lots of it) to buy time. "These paper dollars will not create real prosperity," just an illusory, "temporary, false prosperity," but none at all for most people, hung out to dry on their own.

He also expects a sovereign debt crisis to hammer Europe and the US, saying America's plight exceeds the dire situation of PIIGS countries (Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain), citing the Bank of International Settlements (the central bank of central bankers) saying US debt will hit 400% of GDP, more than triple Greece's burden at 129% that plunged the country into (undeclared) bankruptcy. Indeed the worst for America is yet to come.

America Is Already Bankrupt
Boston University Economics Professor Laurence Kotlikoff explains it in his August 10 article, titled "US Is Bankrupt and We Don't Even Know It," saying:

"Let's get real. The US is bankrupt. Neither spending more nor taxing less will help the country pay its bills." What's needed, he says, is reengineering the economy by "radically simplify(ing) its tax, healthcare, retirement and financial systems, " Revitalization depends on it with unfunded liabilities topping $110 trillion and growing. Even the IMF is worried, saying "closing (America's) fiscal gap requires a permanent annual fiscal adjustment equal to about 14 percent of US GDP," meaning, of course, from working households, not corporate interests or national security, the most glaring areas needing reform.

The fiscal gap represents "the difference between projected spending (including debt service) and projected revenue in all future years. (It's) the government's credit-card bill and each year's 14 percent GDP is the interest on that bill."

When it's not paid, it increases the balance owed. And each trillion the Fed prints bailing out bankers compounds it. Make them pay, not the public they robbed, starting with shutting them down, breaking them up, seizing their assets, and nationalizing them for the collective good.

Kotlikoff is scary saying "Uncle Sam's Ponzi scheme will stop, (perhaps) in a very nasty manner," citing three possibilities:

massive benefit cuts on retirees;
huge tax increases hitting working Americans hardest, and/or
printing vast amounts of money ad infinitum until debt overload crashes the economy eventually.
Calling America "Worse than Greece," he believes "Most likely we will see a combination of all three responses with dramatic increases in poverty, tax(es), interest rates and consumer prices," the path we're on heading us for the worst of all possible worlds.

Based on the latest Congressional Budget Office (CBO) data, he calculates a $202 trillion fiscal gap - "more than 15 times the official debt" because Congress "label(s) most of its liabilities 'unofficial' to keep them off the books, (out of sight) and far in the future" to concern other officials, not them. Labeling, of course, isn't fixing. It's just concealing unpleasant realities, letting others, not them, face the music in out years.

Current federal revenue totals $14.9% of GDP, the IMF saying that closing it requires "an immediate and permanent doubling of our personal-income, corporate and federal taxes as well as the payroll levy set down in the Federal Insurance Contribution Act."

Such policy would produce a 5% surplus this year, the IMF prescribing ad infinitum fiscal austerity, saying delay will make it tougher ahead. "Is the IMF bonkers?" Not at all, just preferential, wanting workers, not special interests hit hardest, the way it's raped and mauled economies for years, serving capital, not people, now aiming at America, the biggest plum of all ripe for plucking with millions of vulnerable households, easy pickings for the powerful, harming, not relieving their needs by:

cutting wages and benefits;
destroying, not creating jobs; privatizing everything for private gain; and
turning America into Guatemala, a corporatist's dream.
Indeed let's get real. Bad policy begets bad results, and bad solutions makes it worse. For sure, America is "broke and can no longer afford no-pain, all-gain 'solutions.' "

It needs responsible ones, too many to list, but here's a few:

end imperial wars and a bloated defense budget;
reinvent government to make it responsive to public needs and democratic values;
make offenders pay most, starting with Wall Street, defense contractors, Big Oil, Big Pharma, Agribusiness, and other corporate predators profiting at public expense for decades;
make now the time for payback, assuring their victims fair and equitable reimbursements;
reinvigorate industrial America;
end Wall Street's financial chokehold;
return money creation power to Congress as the Constitution mandates;
encourage publicly-owned state banks like North Dakota's, making it prosperous when most states are debt-strapped and faltering;
create full-time, good-paying jobs with benefits; don't destroy them;
bring back those offshored;
protect homeowners from foreclosure;
re-institute progressive taxes, including a Tobin tax (perhaps 1%) on all speculative financial transactions, a millionaire's/Wall Street bank levy generating a huge windfall, enough to smack if not close the budget gap, making those most able pay; for example, the Bank for International Settlements estimated annual 2008 global over-the-counter derivatives trading at $743 trillion; a 1% tax would yield $7.43 trillion, and if taxes curbed speculation, the take would still be enormous;
dismantle corporate predators;
think small and local, not big and global;
reinstitute financial, environmental, and other consumer-friendly regulations;
get money out of politics;
end the two-party monopoly;
institutionalize a free, open, fair media and Internet;
assure equitable social benefits for all, including universal, single-payer health care, government-supported public and higher education, and more; and
reinvigorate an eroding democracy before it's too late to matter.

How can you spend a billion dollars in your lifetime?

American Elites are some Greedy, conniving, scandalous Bastards.  They do not care about NOBODY OR NOTHING except getting more MONEY!

yet almost everybody in America BELIEVES that they will someday/somehow become Rich

They die poor/broke and dreaming.

Then have people like Davidylan that will DO ANYTHING including licking their butts - just to be in their company.

and why shld they care about you? Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Mark Zuckerberg . . . are all "conniving bastards"? Where were you when they were applying their brains to create wealth? Why shld they share their wealth with a lazy dreg like you? Sorry . . . it is this undeserved entitlement mentality that has blacks at the bottom of every development indices the world over. Living in America hasnt helped change this one bit.

What an absurd claim. your lives shld indeed be one of untold wealth . . . but you have to earn it dude. You dont get wealth just by accident of being born American. Such right is NOT guaranteed in your constitution. You have free education till high school . . . attend classes instead of skipping it. Go to college rather than gravitating to the streets, macdonalds and the barbershop. Get a job, develop your innate skills and CREATE YOUR OWN WEALTH. Pay your taxes too. . .

American colonialism,


The creation of democracy in America was done along racial lines as European settlers began to pour into this country. The Native Americans were considered ignorant and savage even though the White settlers had little formal education. The settlers did have a racial belief that they considered themselves superior on the basis of “race.”

There were fierce conflicts between the tribes because of tribal differences. There were Apache, Comanche, Navajo, Pueblo, Waco, Kiowa, and many others. However, these distinctions were made to disappear with the racialized idea that they were simply all “Indians.”

The term “Indian” did not exist prior to the coming of Columbus. Upon his voyage to the new world, he mistakenly believed he had landed in India. Unfortunately, this mistake was beneficial for racialized settlers who desired to lump all of these various people into one category.

This invented racial fusion permitted labels like “hostiles” and “savages” to become justifications for genocide. Fearful of colonial incursions into the Western Hemisphere by European powers, the United States initiated a policy that would become known as the Monroe Doctrine in 1823. Though the U.S. would practice its own brand of colonial domination under the Doctrine of Manifest Destiny, the Monroe Doctrine declared that the Americas were off limits to European expansion.

This doctrine was aided by the fact that the Americas were separated from Europe by the Atlantic Ocean and could remain relatively isolated from the events there. It did not prevent the U.S. from taking Florida from the Spanish in 1821, Native American lands under the Indian Removal Act of 1830, Mexican lands in 1836, the conquest and genocide of the Hawaiian people and the taking of their land in 1890, and finally the taking of Cuba in 1898 from the Spanish. These conquests enabled the U.S. to become a colonial power and in the case of conquest before the end of slavery to extend slave interests into new territory.

After slavery was abolished, segregated societies flourished in the occupied areas. President Theodore Roosevelt added to the Monroe Doctrine by establishing the doctrine that became known as the Roosevelt Corollary. This doctrine allowed for the intervention and invasion of countries in the region by so-called “civilized nations” against nations that had a majority non-White population.

When the U.S. constructed the Panama Canal in 1914, this doctrine was used to maintain control of the canal and invade the country if the people there ever tried to exercise control over their own land. Colonialism is the practice of economic, racial, cultural, and religious domination, which involves the subjugation of one group of people to another. Settlers are an important component to this system.

In modern times, colonialism differs from imperialism in that it implies a racialized context and settler designs. Racism based on skin color is a relatively new phenomenon, having developed from the African slave trade. Like colonialism, imperialism also involves political and economic control over a dependent territory.
Unlike imperialism, colonialism involves the transfer of settlers with the aim of replacing the native population or turning that population into subject people.

The principles of colonialism are generally universal. These principles may vary in form from place to place but include the following general approaches.
Colonialism sought to gain and maintain power by reconstructing ethnic identities and culture through economic means, providing jobs for some and not for others, which institutionalized a higher and lower order of ethnic-based division.

For example, Tutsi populations were placed on top of the power pyramid over the Hutu population in Rwanda, which many years later resulted in the Rwandan Genocide. This ethnic-based class structure was aligned with those that more closely resembled Europeans—physically or culturally.
In order to maintain control of conquered areas, foreign settler populations reshaped borders over existing traditional borders thus creating disputes that will last even after the conquering colonial armies are defeated by anti-colonial national liberation movements.

American colonialism applied some of these methods using various forms. Those desiring to replace Native Americans with White settlers, often encouraged settlers to “go west,” in that they could provide a force that would eventually replace the native population.
New Mexico, for example, was once populated with large numbers of Pueblo Indians.

It was not until Whites outnumbered Pueblos that statehood would become a reality. Once the native populations are removed or neutralized, the colonial power begins the influx of settlers, which can defend and hold on to the conquered territory.
The promise of free land to settlers in areas once controlled by Mexico pushed Native Americans out of existence, as they were forced onto reservations or killed. The California Gold Rush helped to cement an occupying Anglo population upon Indian lands.

Settler domination becomes a key component to forcibly taking land, and supplying a racist doctrine of superiority provides the justification.
As early as the 1700s, doctrines of pseudo-scientists provided the foundations of White supremacy around the world.

mandingo, when you can come up with your own thots rather than plagiarising ultra liberal leftwing sites then we can talk. I believe blacks will only start to develop when we shed the toga that the world owes us something. The asians have done it.

I also heard that the America you are praising today was built by the sweat and blood of your great great grand fathers who were enslaved and shipped out to America Visa free, and never paid or compensated for their work over the centuries.

Gbam!

You're right on point (as you often are). The unspeakable mental indolence of majority of us black people explains why we are the least developed and least prosperous race in all of mankind. Isn't that why, for instance, you have a bunch of nitwits all fighting themselves to control Nigeria's oil resource. Any kind of 'wealth' attributed to us Africans must be cheaply acquired - if not through 'natural' resources, then by scam or fraud.

While it may be difficult to accurately explain the reasons for America's excellence, I think its manifest greatness is constantly reinforced and renewed by sheer entrepreneurship and capitalism. The prospect of huge rewards and unhindered self-actualization is what propels their uncountable industrialists and geniuses (e.g Gates and Zuckerberg) to toil day & night and APPLY THEIR BRAINS to create VALUE for the rest of mankind, in exchange for untold wealth. It is the productive activities of these people that collectively enhance America's economy and make social welfare and Medicaid possible for the less fortunate and/or lazy people (a disproportiontate majority of whom are African Americans and Latin Americans). So, it is ridiculous for anyone to rile against America/capitalism because he is pained that one individual is worth $billions. Those $billions are just (and in fact often unjust) rewards for their MENTAL hardwork. . .in fact if not for anti-trust regulations and other such systemic restrictions, the wealth of folks like Gates and others would easily count in the hundreds of billions. . .and they would deserve every penny of it. After their hard/smart work, some lazy black creep would sit in his worn couch and demand that he gets a share of the spoils! This 'Area Boy' and 'Omo Onile' mentality underscores the black man's inherent laziness, love for free lunch, and unwillingness to create value by applying his brain. Yet when they see successful societies such as the USA, all they do is whine and concoct stoopid theories about how such success directly correlates to the exploitation of blacks. For how long would they keep lamenting like the biblical Job?

STOLEN EVERYTHING

For those that still hope china will near US, let me inform u that china is still not a civilized nation and china is under severe pressure from US,EU,IMF to revalue it currency and if that happens u will never here of china again, US have military base in all the continents for spying on this so called to be military and economic giants . God bless US

America is not a civilized nation per say,rather it is a rat race nation where the winners take all.And for those that can see,that way of life is coming down crashing like a pack of card.

This is the era of sustainability,durability and harmony and africa is going to benefit most,

freshera:

I heard their founding fathers (politicians, scientists, entrepreneurs, etc) were solid christians, disciplined and visionary hard workers and strong prayer warriors and that modern day America (and also UK) is still enjoying the results of their prayers and hard work.

Also, that they are Gentiles and are also entitled to the Jews' blessings. I think I read it in a motivational /xtian book. Not sure about it though.

Their faith must have been as strong as their joysticks which they were using to force into Africa slave girls/women. So what happens after a good day of torturing negroes, hmm, I think I'll pray for my country to one day become an even bigger terrorist state. That's how lucky those with Jew blessings are.

davidylan:

Typical black liberal theology that holds no water. If America kicks all those folks out they will be MUCH stronger! For starters that will remove the large bulk of welfare and medicaid recipients. Crime will also go down.

When you try too hard to not be typical, you may just come out wrong. If America didn't have thousands of black slaves, where would their power be?

dont know about this forced thing.

some were forced while others were not.

let's be real for a moment.

Nigeria was built through colonialism.

USA was built off of ideals

USA was built through theft of Indian lands and slave labour its ideal was racialist in nature.

The question is very complex to just answer in one or two sentences. My view are as follows:

Their constitution "We the people" (over 200 years old and have stood the test of time)
The freedom (after slavery and civil rights act)
Their diversity (every ethnicity is represented)  Different foods etc
Use of others (Blacks for their cotton fields, Chinese for their railroad, now Indians for the computer, Mexican for their domestic/agric labour, Jews for their banking and media business)
Sense of country, love their country
Stole/conquer/purchase lands (Native Indian lands/Louisiana purchase from the French, Alaska from Russia with vast oil reserves) Puerto Rico, Samoa, US Vi are all their territories
The land climate varies from frozen cold to tropical.  Topographically, from mountains to flat land and in between
Overall, America is blessed with many inventions (Gravity, telephone, sciences,

one does have to wonder why america is the exact opposite of africa to such a great extent.

even though both america and africa were reached by europeans at almost the same time.

^^^^
I think it is due to the different tribes. If you look at the native American Indians (Yavapai, navajos, aztecs, hopi, apaches, etc) fought each other like crazies and up till now don't get along.
