The post that was quoted here has been removedShe is too verbose. It is no wonder people dont want to hear her story. In real life she is probably a lot like you. Tell her to summarise hier points and we will discuss it. Also at 84 she should be playing with her grandchildren instead of digging up the past, which is pointless. The Palestinians are a defeated people. tell her move on and live her life.
And this racism thing. It is all over the world. It is like oxygen. You cannot get rid of it. You have to live with it. If its not racism it is discrimination of some kind. That is the nature of people. Nothing you do or say will change that. Smart people live with it and make themselves happy and productive despite racism and discrimination. The stupid ones go an and on and on about it and destroy whatever happiness they have.
Also there are many times when people blame racism and discrimination for their failures or problems, when the truth is they have only themselves to blame.

Yeah spot on, if them Africans had learnt to run faster they wouldn’t have ended up as slaves 🙄
@kevcvs57 saidI agree. The fastest and strongest survived. That was their lifestyle in those days. Those were the days of conquest. The stronger African tribes captured the weaker neighbours and sold them off to the whites as slaves. Did you do any history at all? The whites did it as well. They invaded and conquered wherever and whenever they felt like it. Its not big deal. Is all part of the world growing up.

Fine though I’m sure the Israelis will be strong enough to deal with the embargo’s and personally driven sanctions that will come their way as a proven bullyboy state.
I know a lot of people who will not buy Israeli goods already. Let them live in a perpetual state of war, it’s all religious fanatics deserve. Hopefully they will kill each other off and their imaginary creatures will be a thing of the past.

@kevcvs57 saidBy your logic you're saying American blacks can't succeed today because of what happened more than 150 years ago.

Nice excuse.
So what is your excuse for the Africans who stayed in Africa? They have hardly done anything worthy to talk about.

@kevcvs57 saidWell this thing about world wide boycott is the worlds biggest joke. That only works in very small environments with specific things. I heard calls for boycott of Chinese goods, Korean goods, Japanese goods. It does not work.

@very-musty saidOh .. they have an excuse for that. Its all about Imperialist domination. Its the British, the French, the Dutch. Its everybody else, but them. Eg I heard some excuses for the Rwanda genocide. Nothing was their fault. Incredible.

The post that was quoted here has been removedI say go for it. Dont talk. Do it. And this is the difference between talkers and doers. Doers do. After the WWII the Japanese were humiliated and defeated and their country was in shambles. No talk, no complaining no begging. They got up, dusted themselves, and started to work. Now they are a respected force on the world economy. This is what smart people do. Underdogs dont stay underdogs for long unless they enjoy that status, an enjoy the talking and doing nothing. Its a persecution syndrome they enjoy wallowing in.

@very-musty saidBecause like rak you know nothing of history you probably don’t know that as well as selling them off as slaves we ( the west ) stayed on until the present day and raped the continent for its mineral, vegetable and Human Resources.

As for the US descendants of slavery who have lived in a hostile racist state since abolition, yes it’s hard to explain why they haven’t thrived as an ethnic group isn’t it 🙄

@kevcvs57 saidAt what point should a right thinking person accept responsibility for their destiny, regardless what others do. Would that be 10 years, 50, 200 ? When you spend hundreds of years blaming others for your plight then you need to stop and seriously consider the possibility that there is something inherent in your genetic make-up that is hindering your development. Seriously.
