LOL. Why am I not surprised?

Just like a white supremacist to think that.

Let me guess the black people in Ancient Egypt were just there as the help right?

Yay the racist D4H labeling more people racist, again I'll acknowledge this country still has a small population White and BLACK that are racist. But when will you acknowledge that theres more of a culture problem than there is a race problem?

We are not talking about random people here. Herodotus is considered the "Father of History" in western civilization. He was an educated Greek scholar who traveled the globe. In his book on world history he described the Ancient Egyptians as "black skinned and wooly haired."

This was not some random guy in the street just musing on topics. These were serious scholars. As serious and intelligent as any in the world today. And these guys actually traveled the globe. Most scholars today probably do most of their research in front of a computer and rarely see the actual world.

No. We're talking about all people, including explorers setting foot on places they've never been.

You seem to fall back to that question constantly.
You're a couple post away from me concluding that you are a white supremacist. Are you? If not, do you mainly agree or disagree with them?

I'll try to throw out a few ways that white supremacy could hurt if left unchecked.

98% of top jobs go through a hiring process controlled by white people (made up stat but probably close) They only hire whites.

Major contractors (white) only hire white subcontractors.

Top universities deny non white applicants.

Refusal to sell houses to black people in better school districts.

But let's play your game and assume white supremacy in no way harms minorities ability to improve their plight. Any failure is due to personal choices and liberal policies.

Do you support the concept of white supremacy?
Do you think it has an overall positive effect or negative effect?
Do you personally believe the white race is the over all superior race?

Every thing you just said shows a complete lack of understanding of free market capitalism.

Imagine a course called The Problem with Blackness, taught by a white professor with goal of showing black people what changes they should make to better interact with the world. That's about how stupid this sounds.

As for "white supremacy", if your people or race has been subjugated that simply means you got your ass kicked by someone. It happened to blacks, Jews, asians, whites, arabs, etc. at some point.

If you think those things can't and even sometimes do happen then that shows a complete lack of understanding of reality...which may explain a lot about you.
Will you answer the questions I asked?

So no response????

That was my response. Lefties seem to believe that capitalist are terrible greedy people who hire based on race. But those two things are contradictory. If someone is terribly greedy, they'll hire the best candidate for the job. Since you probably also believe other liberal lies (women and blacks are paid less), then it quickly becomes apparent that any company practicing such things would be losing large sums of money.

There's an economic price to be paid for discrimination. That's why government should allow the market to self regulate

You are completely delusional. Do you even exist in the real world?

About those questions.........

Post #308
I understand economics well enough to know that theory and reality are worlds apart. We are not now, never have been, and never will be, purely free market (thank goodness). Also, in theory, capitalism and communism would take us to the exact same point in their purest forms. (Which will never happen) I doubt you can process through that.

I'm waiting on the answers.....scroll up a few.

I don't have time for your games. If I missed something, try again. And no capitalism and communism would not. The more free market we become the more free and prosperous our nation will become.

The fact that you will not answer tells me all I need to know.

You're pathetic.

The more capitalist we become, the more libertarian we become.

And if you want a good depiction of what libertarianism in its rawest form looks like, then look at Syria. Basically, free for all anarchy.

Right. The nation destroyed by our foreign policy is an example of what a free market society would look like

You're pointing to an Islamic country for a good depiction of libertarianism?

In this case, yes, I guess it just so happens to be.

My point is, however, that the inevitable outcome of libertarianism is anarchy. The inevitable state of anarchy is violence and chaos, in the midst of a power vacuum. Syria is a depiction of anarchy, and an example of what happens when a power vacuum is created.

We haven't done much to solve it, true, but perhaps Assad should have been more worried about keeping control over his own state instead of fueling the jihadi machine (that has now come back to bite him in the rear) to kill American soldiers during the Iraq War.

A free market inevitably fails, because very few Adam Smiths - men of high moral quality - are walking around in our midst. Most of them are simply greedy and power-seeking. A free market ultimately breeds the excesses that lead to its collapse, although I suppose you could say that about most any system.

I keep hearing this false notion that mean have to be moral for free markets to work. That's not true at all. In any system the overall morality of the people will be the same, because the people will be the same.

But yes it's the people who make it work. Because of their desires for a better life and a better future for their children. It improves both production and innovation

Something communism lacks. Why work hard? My children won't get any of it.
