budaatum:Continue to blame colonialism in 2026. |
bayelsaowei:Oboy, you are still arguing against a position nobody is taking. Nobody sai the civil Rights Act was not important. It was one of the most important legal victories in American history. We fully accept that. But that does not mean every conversation about black outcomes must stop at civil rights was good. It created legal freedom. Family values, educatiom, crime reduction, economic discipljne, and community stability are about what people do with that freedom. Your argument is like saying: because independence from colonial rule was good, nobody should discuss corruption, bad leadership, crime, or in nigeria after independence we should focus and talk more about the good of independence. That makes no sense at all. What is affecting Nigeria today should be discussed more. And yes, white family breakdown should also be discussed. White communities also have fatherlessness, drug abuse, crime, divorce, suicide, and cultural decay. Nobody said only Black people have problems but the black community is the pinnacle of this issue. I have discussed about it time and time again. I talk about the drug issues. This discussion stems from deepsight accusation. So I didn't just start talking about it. So, when the topic is black outcomes, discussing black family structure is not anti-Black. Obama discussed fatherless homes. Black pastors discuss it. Black conservatives discuss it. Even many ordinary Black parents discuss it. Are they all worshipping white lords too? You keep trying to turn a social-policy discussion into racial loyalty politics. That is the real problem. The Civil Rights Act was necessary and good. Jim Crow was evil. But after legal barriers are removed, it is still valid to ask why some communities struggle with crime, school failure, fatherlessness, drugs, and poverty. That is not jamboree. That is how serious people talk about solutions. It is clear that you are not serious, you just want to blame white people for everything while black people shoot themselves to death every now and then. This kind of thinking is why Africa is junk today. Instead of tackling the issue, we blame somebody else and attack people talking about it of worshipping white gods. It's a shameful way of thinking. |
bayelsaowei:You are being dishonest. this is yeyeah emotional blackmail, not an argument. Nobody denied the upsides of the civil rights Act, it was necessary. Ending legal segregation, banning employment discrimination, and enforcing equal treatment were historic achievements, etc. celebrating civil rights does not mean we must pretend every post1960s social outcome improved. Two things can be true at the same time: Civil rights gave Black Americans legal dignity and freedom. And Some social problems later worsened: crime, fatherlessness, drugs, school failure, and urban breakdown. Discussing the second point does not mean rejecting the first point. You are trying to force a false choice here e no go work. either praise civil rights only, or you are reminiscing about Jim Crow - nonsense. Nobody is reminiscing about Black people being treated like animals. Jim Crow was evil kirk said it but you are fixated on calling people racist. Segregation was evil he meant this too. Denying people equal rights was evil, etc. family values are not a waste of time as you said. Obama talked about fatherlessness for a reason. Many Black leaders, pastors, educators, and community activists have talked about it for decades. Were they all “anti-Black” too? people can celebrate freedim and still discuss what is damaging the community today. In fact, if you actually care about Black people, you should be able to do both. But you like victimhood narrative it seems rather than tackling the problems |
tctrills:Budaatum is an expert in this. This is 2026 and he still thinks colonialism is holding us back |
DeepSight:Keep on defending the killer and continue to attack the dead person. Tomorrow you will come with another nonsense and shout, "see, kirk racist" |
THEDEEPSIGHT:He killed charlie because of is transgender babe. That's not political right? The same way you concur to IjeBos Charlottesville lie. |
raumdeuter:He is just dishonest |
TV01:It is why I said he is like the south Africans you see chasing black people up and down the streets. |
DeepSight:Its okay if you don't have self awareness. You are a racist but you believe black people can't be racists
|
DeepSight:You said crap about all white people, we point out that some fought and died to free black people from slavery. You call house House N, make statements like white people or W Supreme won't love you etc. You hate white people. That's confirmed |
DeepSight:Oga you do. |
GracieX3:Maybe, but he does not have to. Jesus was also provocative. When speaking, you can just be blunt and spew the truth or you can carefully refine your words to sound more inclusive. Either way, you can't be racist for speaking the truth |
Raumdeuter, Basilico 😂😂🤣 Deepsight see your UN
|
GracieX3:Truth is provocative. Why is truth provocative? Saying there are only 2 genders is provocative. |
GracieX3:Provocative words does not mean racism. That's the point. He is discussing a data, he has a point. Not everything is racist or racism. Make una rest |
DeepSight:I don't know, if they were better than compared to now it is not an improvement abi? No be the same argument they talk about Nigeria? Nowhere in the country do you find a waterboard serving a city or village with clean drinking water. That used to be the case. So are we actually improving in this country or? |
DeepSight:I conceded that Kirk's words are provocative. So I don't know for you. But you are still pretending the wording is suspicious, means the only possible meaning is racist. No. The sentence can be badly framed and still be raising a legitimate issue: why did some Black social indicators worsen after legal rights improved? If you want to argue that Kirk’s framing was irresponsible, fine. If you want to argue that his Civil Rights Act views make him suspect, fine. We have addressed you on that as well. But if your argument is that nobody can compare Black outcomes across time without being racist, then you are just avoiding the question. |
bayelsaowei:My proposa is not to roll back rights. My proposal is to stop pretending civil rights and social outcomes are the same issue. Civil rights fix legal injustice. It did not automatically fix crime, family breakdown, urban poverty, bad schools, drugs, or cultural decay. The question is not should Blacks go back to Jim Crow? Of course not. The question is: after legal discrimination was reduced, why some indicators get worse instead of better? That question is not anti-Black. It is the kind of question you ask if you actually care about solving the problem. The hip hop culture promotes a lot of what is wrong with the black community. Obama talked about Fatherless homes. Be here and pretend like there is nothing to talk about while you call people disgrace for no reason. Don't understand what kirk was talking about, just go along and call him a racist because it makes you feel good. |
GracieX3:See the problem with this people. You are comparing 1940 to another Jim crow era. Kirk was comparing then to now. It shows you have no clue what we are talking about. Wahala |
DeepSight:You are still isolating one phrase from the subject being discussed. Kirk did not start with oh, Black people were better off in the 1940s as a general statement. He started with specific claims: less murder, less break-ins, etc. Then he said the data shows they were actually better in the 1940s. In context, the word better refers to the data points he just mentioned. That is not an amendment; that is basic reading comprehension. Don't let LordReed give you that infection. If I say: In the 1980s, Port Harcourt had less robbery, less murder, less drug abuse the city was better then, you do not automatically assume i mean every single thing about life was better. You understand I meant better on the issue being discussed. |
GracieX3:Another dishonest post. Read this discussion in full before you chime in |
DeepSight:Wrong. That's your bad understanding |
DeepSight:No, I am not amending anything. I am providing the context. The question being discussed was crime and behaviour. Kirk said: There were less break-ins, less murderous, the data shows they were actually better in the 1940s. So “better” refers to the specific data he was discussing. crime/social outcomes, not Black people were better off overall under Jim Crow. You are deliberately changing the meaning of better here. If I say, Nigeria’s railway system was better in the 1960s, nobody serious thinks I mean Nigerians were better off under colonialism. It means that specific thing being discussed was better. Kirk even immediately said the era was bad and evil. So how can you honestly claim he meant Black people were better off under that evil system? The fair criticism is: “Kirk should have phrased it more carefully.” Fine like is said before, provocative words != racism The dishonest criticism is: “Kirk said Black people were better off oppressed.” He did not. He said some data points were better in that era, while also calling the era evil. Oga move on from this agend. tctrills have explained to you and you are still burying your head in the sand. |
THEDEEPSIGHT:I saw your inverted commas. But e no save the argument. Kirk was talkin about measurable outcomes like crime, break ins, family struct. You changed “better outcomes” into “pleasing to the master.” That is you dodging. If you think his data is wrong, challenge the data. If you think his causation is wrong, challenge the causation. But saying “a bound man’s behaviour is pleasing to the one who bound him” does not answer the question. Nobody here said Black people were better off under Jim Crow. kir called that era bad and evil. The issue is whether some specific social indicators were better then than later. Those are not the same claim. You are mixing moral status with social indicators. Black Americans were morally and legally worse off under Jim Crow. Bottom line is: Black people were better off under Jim Crow is false Some Black social indicators were better in the 1940s than later decades. maybe true Charlie was arguing the second point. You keep pretending he argued the first. That is the dishonesty. |
THEDEEPSIGHT:When Charlie called that era and Jim Crow evil in your own post, was it enough for you to know that he does not support it? Why do you want to label everything racist instead of understanding the arguments or point? Where did he say that era was good for them or that they were better with Jim Crow? It is an argument you just made making you the racist you accused Kirk of. |
THEDEEPSIGHT:So they were behaving better because they have no choice. Bondage is what was making them behave better? You sound more of a racist than Charlie. |
tctrills:His emotions are everywhere |
THEDEEPSIGHT:What did Charlie call evil? You are deep in dishonesty. Move on The data actually shows what Charlie was saying. They were bonded together as a family, they were well behaved. Charlie called the era evil for how they were treated. Nowhere did he imply less right is good or was the reason they were better. He is talking about an era and how they were doing when they have less right. |
tctrills:They are full of hate. |
anonimi:Read this https://bhroberts.org/records/0DRmec-8PclBb/murray_discusses_the_impact_of_welfare_on_marriage_and_child_bearing_decisions_1984 |
tctrills:I have been telling him. The blacks who tend to move away from this victimhood and blaming all the time are attacked and hated by the likes of deepsight, the ones who always subscribe to victimhood often close their eyes on black on black crimes, hatred on their own and losts of degenerate things coming from the black culture in the US. Charlie explicitly called that era evil in deepsight's own post, he clarified when asked but deepsight does not care. |
tctrills:That's why I have been saying it's people like him attacking other Africans in South Africa. They are always looking for what to blame for their problems |
