I’ve issued this challenge here on FR for years.....never any takers.Freepers respond, and the goalposts fly!
Show me one nation ruled by blacks that is well-run and prosperous. Just......one. I won’t even go into the violence aspect.
LS
Bermuda, one of the highest GDPs in the world, not only has had black premiers in the past (a white one now) but has had a black woman premier in the past. It is exceptionally well run and has been for 40 years.Of course, Bermuda is run by England, so it's self-rule is actually an illusion, and white men are hiding behind the curtain:
Bermuda....a Commonwealth country with British rule of law. That’s their saving grace.Also, it's blackness is gradually telling:
I’m glad for Bermuda’s prosperity, but in recent years I definitely recall hearing that crime has been rising there.Of course, being British run doesn't mean the negro savagery won't sometimes come out:
Bahamas not exactly well run. High violent crime rate, low paying unskilled jobs, poverty rampant. It isn’t all like Atlantis HotelAlso, Bermuda is too small to count. So is Anguilla:
Barbados is better run...higher standard of living...and is 90% black. Unlike most of black-run British Commonwealth nations....Barbados has not gone full anti-white...and kept many British customs...even called “Little England”
I first thought that too, but Bermuda and Anguilla aren't countries. They are "British overseas territories" with British law, but not British taxes.That tax haven not counting thing is echoed re tourism and Bahamas:
Bermuda's population is 64,268 and Anguila's is 13,600.
The tax-haven aspect is probably critical to the islands' prosperity, and I don't see how you could scale that up enough to help. Just Detroit's population is 706,585.
I’ve noticed a lot of freepers mentioning the Bahamas, take the tourist money away and see what happens. On the flip side we have Baltimore, Detroit,Philly, the list goes on and on. We all know who runs these cities. I’m not questioning the intellect, morals or values of black people, just there political maturity, which is obviously lacking.And then there are all the ones Freepers don't reply to:
jpsb:
Ethiopia, Jamaica, Dominican Republic, The Bahamas plus just about all the countries on the West African coast (Atlantic).Kriggerel:
While I will be the first to criticise Hellholes like Haiti and Zimbabwe, I nevertheless believe that fair is fair. As someone else already pointed out, the Bahamas qualifies, and for my own example, I will cite Botswana.Yeah, continuing to hew to your racism despite copious evidence sure is a challenge!
While Botswana does indeed still have some problems with poverty (especially in the capital of Gaborone), it is nevertheless considered one of Africa’s rising stars, and has steadily increased its standard of living, and its education rate.
It has also been 100% black-run since its independence (although its first leader Sir Sereste Khama caught a lot of flack from his own people for marrying a white British woman).
Like I said, the place isn’t perfect, but they’re actually attracting foreign investment.
For freepers like RightOnline, there will never be an answer good enough.
ReplyDeleteAny country appearing to meet the criteria will only be said to be following English or French influences.
Unfortunately for Africa (and Central America), democracy has often been thwarted by American and European nations when the fairly elected leader failed to "play ball" with the correct business interests.
Yes, because plutocracy is exactly the same as capitalism!
DeleteAnd you call us predictable?
Imperialism is the ultimate in Capitalism - buying and selling groups of people!
DeleteSure, doesn't matter what dictator we support as long as the oil and bananas keep coming.
DeleteHey, how do you know we've never even been to Mississippi or Alabama? I'm sure some of us know people from there, at least.
Delete"Let the goalposts fly!" I couldn't have said it better myself. I did literally LOL. I noticed that the freepers couldn't help reciting their litany of Detroit, Chicago, Philly, and so on, without mentioning that all of these cities are...in a white run country, that was formerly a colony of England. So, to recap: Successful black nations - a result of former colonies. Unsuccessful cities in white nations - a result of being black. It's true - no city, state, or colony will ever be successful enough for freepers. On the other hand, how do they explain the miserable multi-generational poverty of southern white people in the Greatest Country on Earth? It must be because of black people somehow.
ReplyDeleteYeah, you can't win with FReeper types because of the goAlpost moving as well as their overall confirmation bias. There can never be a winning answer because they don't *want* there to be one.
ReplyDeleteI went through a round of this about 10 years ago in the Religion forum. Some Nativist Know Nothing fundamentalist Protestant cited the comparative prosperity of Protestant and Catholic nations to prove that Protestantism is the best religion (because wealth accumulation is such a big focus of Christ's teachings).
Playing along with an absurd argument, I mentioned France, Italy, Poland, and Germany (which is about evenly split between Protestant/Catholic) as stable, prosperous Catholic nations.
By the time the goalpost moving finished, I realized basically that this dude was going to disqualify any nation that had a smaller GDP than the US. And I don't think he meant per capita either. IOW, every nation on Earth was disqualified.
Of course, this disregards the silliness of that and the above argument from the get go, since correlation =/= correlation.

I remember that thread!!!
DeleteTo be fair, you did have people weighing in - it was back when the religion forums weren't even split and only the odd poster was partisan - and some solid folk (Protestant, Catholic and Mormon) got upset on your behalf and agreed with you.
Here is a prime example of freeper hypocrites..Guy is refusing to take out healths inurance and won't pay the fine but his wife is one medicare disability but he is leaving her on that.. more conservative personal responsibility bs.

I was reading that one earlier today. little jeremiah was in that thread:
DeleteI have no health insurance. Never had except when young with children, cheap state stuff many decades ago.
I don’t plan to ever have health insurance of any kind. If I get sick, I doctor myself with herbs and other measures, there is a nasty cheapie clinic if desperate, and if (when) all else fails, I’ll leave the aging earthly tent behind without looking back.
Gee, I wonder how that clinic is paid for....
You know damn well when she comes down with cancer or has a heart attack she will get the best treatment and then declare bankruptcy..all the freeper boasting they have no health insurance will do the same damn thing..yet us responsible liberals who do HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE WILL END UP PAYING FOR THEIR TREATMENT THROUGH HIGHER PREMIUMS..
DeleteGotta love wackjob conservatives..
So little jeremiah had "cheap state stuff" insurance many years ago when her children were young ?
DeleteAnd how is that different from the Affordable Care Act today ?
Oh yeah, little jeremiah got hers, but to hell with anyone else who needs affordable state insurance now.
Little jeremiah, according to her own testimony on FR, also had an abortion when she was young and knocked up and scared ...
but again, to hell with anyone else in the same situation now.
But actually, she does "walk-the-talk" to a certain degree. She is in the process of losing all her teeth, and supposedly wasn't able to use one of her arms for a year, while trying to brew up her witch potions to cure herself.
Supposedly she has some sort of underhanded homeopathic mail order business going on, generating a small bit of (I'm sure unreported) income.
She went crazy some years back, abandoning her family to join that Maharishi cult in northern Oregon decades ago.
Really, if it wasn't for her homo-hatred, the talibornagain would have run her off of FR long ago.
little jeremiah is someone who I've wanted to spotlight, but the vast majority of her comments are always right down the Freep mainstream. She'll get a bit mystic once in a while, and her gay stuff used to be wacky, but all told the half a dozen times I checked her history I found nothing to make her stand out.
DeleteEchoing exactly what the majority think at any given time is no mean feat. I'm not sure of the cause/effect, but Freepers like her because she says what they're saying most of the time.
Off and on, but she definitely knows how to "zelig" herself to JimRob's ever shifting positions.
DeleteShe is currently going against the JimRob tide in Ted Cruz's eligibility. JimRob is fairly adamant in his support for Cruz right now, but his "support" changes almost weekly running up to the nominations.
But she is definitely a whack job, and a "spotlight" on her would have to be a multi-week effort. Her gay stuff is still whacky, and violent.
It doesn't really take too much reading between the lines to see her desire for a violent homicidal Egypt-style revolution in America. All while she rides it out in her trailer in the woods of Oregon, Charles Manson style.
Interesting stuff about Little Jeremiah. Usually the alternate/homeopathic medicine stuff is more the domain of the more spacey range of libertarians that hate Big Pharma. It's not a mindset I've seen much of on FR (if anything they just act macho and talk how they can take the pain or just duct tape their wounds and take a shot of Jack).
DeleteThe Oregon cult she joined, that's the one that tried to take control of some town's government and then ended up attempting to poison the local buffet's salad bar, as I recall.
-FresnoGrifter
I'd say do it anyway.
DeleteShe can be a bit whack, but would give a nice baseline of opinion. To define insanity, first you need to know what the norm is.
Here's a nascent thread about the IRS saying that married same-sex couples will be allowed to file jointly.

I think WD has been content sitting back and watching FR get as racist as he is. If I remember correctly for a while there he and Iron Munro would commiserate about how blind Freepers were to the Black threat. Now it seems like his idea of a perfect racist Freeperdom is coming to fruition.
ReplyDeleteAnd am I reading him correctly. Is he saying that the reason the North isn't as racist (which in his mind does not appear to be a bad thing) as the south is because they don't have to deal with blacks the way the south does. LOL.....Damn dem negroes making us hate them just by their sheer numbers!!
