You seem like a classy guy... I also bet you're pussy enough to never say this shit to a black dude to his face.

Why would he be afraid to say it to a black guy? Do you honestly think every race is afraid of black people?

Iirc the idea is that because of slavery a lot of culture was lost. A lot of African Americans don't know where they originated from 1/2

Other than 'Africa' So it's meant to be a celebration of all African cultures to be inclusive for those that can't celebrate their country.

Still think it's pretty racist though. A nice idea to start with, but it has lost sight of the purpose and is now just a circle jerk. Imo

Did you need an Anglo HM to hear about Tesla or Edison? Probably not. But when do you ever hear about G.W. Carver except for February?

This needs more up votes. When you're a nation of immigrants, EVERY incoming culture becomes a part of yours in some way.

We are a cultural melting pot, that's what should be great about here but we treat is like a disease.

We do, actually. Go around town and ask people who Tesla or Edison were. Ask them who Carver was. Ask them about Beethoven's songs.

Don't asians and latinos also commit less crime, per capita? I mean, crime does tend to lead to run-ins with the police.

I don't think that stirs the pot thats just accurate, Asians commit less crimes or get caught less often.

Accuracy in facts has often stirred the pot against people who don't wish to acknowledge said facts. DaddyPlzStop strikes me as that person.

A part of justifying why they had to be enslaved for their own good was that they were animals, tools. You compliment the chef not the cow.
