There I fixed the title.

So what? They are still people.
Or do you deny that?

I do not deny that they(being blacks) are people.

However, blacks have proven to be incapable of living as equals in a civilization developed for citizens with an average IQ of 100. They(being blacks) are incapable because their genetic IQ is 70-85. There is no way around this fact.

Whites deserve their own ethnostates. Blacks deserve their own ethnostates.

This just shows that you don't know the Bible. As Christians we are bound by the New Testament. Many things prohibited in the old testament that were changed/repealed in the New Testament. If he were claiming to Jewish (converted or otherwise) then you'd have a point, but he's claiming to be Christian.

"For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.." - Matthew 5:18

Did heaven and earth disappear and I didn't notice? Sometimes I'm really groggy in the morning, esp. after a holiday.

Everyone knew damned well what was meant by those statements. And sorry, this- just like the myriads of other grossly inappropriate actions that I personally would have hoped we- no matter whether being conservative or liberal- would have at this point be able to universally agree to as being simply wrong- has in fact turned into another embarrassing episode where some people seem to have an automatic knee-jerk reaction to, with some eagerly jumping to the defense of these statements, and not even because of what was said, but more because they are so desperate to make it into another liberal/conservative pissing contest.

There's conservative and liberal politics where people can disagree with one another. People can argue all day long about social programs, spending, the size of government, politicians, Presidents, healthcare, and so on. While sometimes those arguments can become heated, its who we as a nation are. Its fine to debate about how we want to see things run in Washington. In the end compromise is the result.

But racism, or even the hint of it is NOT something that ANYONE, no matter what they think in regards to politics should be arguing. Its not a debate, period. Its simply wrong. There's few things that can have that absolute assertion attached.

I've been extremely disappointed and in some ways embarrassed by some of the reactions to this event. Its simply unbelievable that in this day in age that some statements made in light of this might as well have been made 200 years ago. I would have hoped we as a society would have moved beyond that. Luckily, most people do not think like that. We have made great progress in regards to respecting others for who they are and not what they look like. But this latest event is a reminder that despite that progress, more work needs to be done.

Innate differences between the races should always be discussed and researched if someone wants to talk about it. No one should be able to limit what can and can't be talked about.

White members of society have, however black member of society have not upheld their part of being a member of a productive society. That is, at a minimum, to be lawful.

Many, many people recognize the differences in black and white behavior. To admit out loud that these differences are genetic and therefore unchangeable and back it up with complete scientific fact is hearsay in our PC ridden country.

I have seen many of my middle class friends ruin their lives over the love of substances which change your mental outlook for a 1/2 a day.

I simply do not understand what is so good about being stoned? What is the short term benefit? The long term benefit?

Civilization has never been developed for any IQ range.
Society has a variety of needs to be met by people in the whole range of IQ.

spydah_hh says

Our standard of living is based on both. Just imagine how much better off we'd be if we didn't destroy our currency or wealth while yet kept innovating. I don't think an Iphone 5 would cost $500 but certainly not 10 cents either.

We don't destroy it. The total wealth continues to grow as productivity increases. The problem is that it is distributed very poorly so the average or median family income is low.

We have a DISTRIBUTION problem.

So you deny evolution?

Race creates culture and civilization. No civilization was created to accommodate more than 1 race at a time.

Egalitarians are trying to move previously all white countries(USA and Western European nations only) away from this model, with poor results.

SoftShell says

So you deny evolution?

I embrace evolution. I think that evolution did not stop at the neck as liberals believe. To apply this logic to Whites and blacks:

2 different populations, separated by thousands of miles and years, developed different natural abilities. What proved to be the most important capability of all time, intelligence, is measurably different between these 2 races.

ALL Black People commit crimes?

No black man has upheld their part of being a productive member of society?

Nay, not one?

thunderlips11 says

ALL Black People commit crimes?

No. No one is saying that all blacks are criminals. No one is saying that all whites are smarter than all blacks either.

The overall number and percentage of blacks who do commit crimes or contribute nothing positive to the USA far exceeds the white numbers and percentage of negative behavior and attributes.

At rates so high, it brings up the question that Whites could have far happier and more pleasant lives without blacks around.

To have Whites subsidizing the talented tenth of blacks who have an IQ of 100 or greater means you have to subsidize the bottom 90% as well. The ROI simply isn't there.

Don Billy Bob has nice ring to it.

Drop the gun and grab the pork rinds.

You can't adjust dollars to another era it just doesn't work that way.
Especially when economic standards aren't even the same.
I mean if you gave Al Capone unlimited virtual money and all kind of creative ways to create money where none existed before. Then they would have seen 600K houses as well.

It should be called Greedesian instead of Keynesian economics.

It's like trying to compare the Sear founded back in the day the Sears that is now owned by KMart. It's just two different things.
While it makes for a nice chart, it's not an accurate picture.

All you can really do is compare the costs of living compared to wages from each era.

And you deserve your own straightjacket.

Would bet money they are comparing Mean wages in 1938 to Median wages today.

In fact, I am certain the "average" wages shown on the table are median wages. SSA.gov publishes the data and shows Mean wages at 42,500 vs. median wages at 17,500 for 2012.

Every retard with an adding machine turns into statistician when he starts a blog apparently.

Prices rise with demand. An increase in access to credit can skew prices when not compared apples/apples. One could not get a 4% 30 year mortgage in 1938. Now you can. Completely different demand curve.

Call it Crazy says

This chart demonstrates that "adjusting for inflation" does not adjust for inflation. If it did, then the average price of all goods and services as based on what people actually buy would actually make their adjusted prices.

Just because some idiot says his formula adjusts for inflation, does not mean it actually does.

Strategist says

So what if the dollar loses value? Has no relevance to the standard of living.

Actually, it has quite a big impact particularly in the medium term. It's not inflation, but rather the specific mechanism of inflation that is the problem. If we wanted to expand the currency supply to ten fold its level, we could do so fairly and socially justly by simply increasing everyone's bank account, wallet, wages, bills, and debts by a factor of ten. Simply move the decimal place over one spot. Doing so would have zero effect on the economy.

The way in which inflation is actually implemented, however, is vastly different. It transfers purchasing power from savers to banks, from the middle class to the rich elite.

Currency debasement, as it is implemented and was designed to do, taxes the money people save up for a large purchase like
1. A house
2. A business
3. A car
4. College tuition
5. Medical expenses

And in doing so, it vastly diminishes what the saver can buy for his hard earned money. The financial loss of the working man is the banker's gain. He gets to buy a third yacht, while the working man goes from being able to buy a 3,000 sq. ft. house to having to live in a 1,000 sq.ft. house. That's the difference.

The voters may be different, but the party platforms are the same in every issue that actually matters to the well being of the country and the economy.

The drug wars are to provide an easy source of black money for our intelligence agencies to use for world wide agenda pursuit and domestic freedom suppression. That's really all there is to it.

wrong. the percentage of white on white crime is far greater than black on white crime. ( don't forget to count 'white collar crime' you jackass )

Statistically heterosexuals are responsible for 98% of all crimes.

Case Closed: Lee Harvey Oswald and the Assassination of JFK

I'm with ya BGA. I believe the Texas mafia stuck a false flag up Kennedy's ass.

bgamall4 says

Texas oil mafia was to blame for the assassination of John Fitgerald Kennedy.

There is no reason on earth for anyone in Texas to have disliked Kennedy.

For one thing he was creating the space program and building a huge budget most of which would go into southern states like Texas and Alabama. In fact, Johnson was pushing it even as Vice President because he saw it as a "new industrial revolution" and jobs creation engine for the South.

when the same number of people using arms now equals the number that used arms in 2006, we will hit peak bubble.

Well this guy shot Kennedy then some other dude shot that dude, then that dude died of Cancer a year after he was convicted.

Sounds like the Cancer was in on it all along and cleaned up the all the lose ends quite nicely don't you think?

Sells books and some make a career out of it...

no mafia could pull off the cover up. here's now it went down.

the Military Industrial Complex wanted JFK dead so they could escalate the Vietnam war, a war that wasn't meant to be won but profited. they probed into LBJ's past and saw a bunch of skeletons in the closet. they had their next puppet president that would do everything they asked.

their CIA guys carried out the assassination (Howard Hunt, one of the hitmen, confessed on deathbed), their FBI guys (JEH) did the cover up. they setup a phony Warren Commission to do a phony investigation and cover up with their lone gunman theory.

http://www.rense.com/general76/hunt.htm

what pawns like Hunt didn't know was that both LBJ and JEH answered to a higher power, the power that owns this country. those guys alone wouldn't be able to do crap without facing consequences.
