Yup, it sure it.  That doesn't make it rational or particularly useful.

Well many countries had different opportunities at different times. Apparently, the Europeans were particularly successful at Empire and brought African Empires to collapse. Part of the reason European powers went there in the first place (started with Belgium) was that African Empires were so successful and wealthy.

---

Did you ever ask yourself how "so successful and wealthy" African Empires were brought to collapse?

---

He explained exactly why in his post. They were not as focused on military. Tipote is actually completely correct. Europeans had been warring with each other for a century. They were far more advanced militarily.

---

"They were not as focused on military"

Yet they were constantly fighting each other on their own continent, your statement doesn't make sense.

"They were far more advanced militarily"

And in every other aspect of civilization, why was that?

Yet, no evidence.

here's a recent example ("that people" referring to African culture).

and if i kept looking, i'd find more tidbits like this, which kinda supports the theory that you kinda see things in black and white when it comes to African erm heritage?

Wrong, your speculations are erroneous.

As evidenced by most progressives

Of course racists aren't ignorant, look at Obama, he's highly intelligent and he's a YUUUGE racist

wtf are you talking about? evidence is right there. you're saying that africans  had a less advanced warfare, you inferred from that less advance the warfare, and coupled with your perceived notions of their ineffectiveness "in every other aspect of civilization", pretty much described and confirmed and demonstrated what Big bad Wolf is describing up above this post, and those words show your tacit disdain for people of african descent based on a: a lacking of historical evidence and b: your anecdotal experience in the US.

ie racist tendencies. it's ok. just admit like WAN...than you can explain to your bro how his sister is like primitive man.

So what you're saying here is that falcon is correct?

I'm failing to see how you said anything different or any dumb shit other than the above demeaning attempts. Did your parents beat you when you completed full thought processes?

---

LDS's post would have more appropriately been directed at Enlil.

---

Exactly.  I agree with LDS that "many dead guys remain the heroes of a great many humans, regardless of political party".  I was simply responding to Enlil.  Why is it that airclay and wooof so easily understand the context, while LDS is so clueless??? 

Thanks airclay and wooof.

I've seen you say that black people are inherently more violent, and they are unsuccessful everywhere they go in the world. You have made roughly 10 fucking billion arguments about black people being degenerate niggers, essentially, so I don't see why you find it surprising that I have put 2 and 2 together.

In some environments that trait could make them superior.

"unsuccessful everywhere they go in the world"

Even if true, it wouldn't make them inferior.

It is just your opinion that racist people are ignorant.  Also, the fact you are likening racist folks to criminals is very offensive.  How would you feel if I likened black people to apes, which they as a matter of fact do resemble, to some degree?

Also, nobody is saying you are "hurting" people's feelings.  We just resent your talking down to us as if you had found Life's meaning and that we are all ignorant and in dire need of your "enlightened" words.  Spare us.  Just because you are a non-racist it doesnt make your view-point and value system rational.  Have you thought about that maybe you are the abnormal one?  That maybe it is human nature to be racist?

Shots were fired and Arabic shouted before two large blasts at Nevantem Airport, Brussels.

Less than two hours later a third blast was heard at Maelbeek Metro station near the EU's HQ.

At least 136 people have been injured. Downing Street confirmed that one Briton has been wounded in Brussels.

A major Nuclear plant has now been evacuated — the second largest in Belgium. A bomb squad has swooped on the University of Brussels to investigate a suspect package.

ISIS has since claimed the attacks — and officials have confirmed the airport blasts were caused by suicide bombers.
