So your response to the irrefutable evidence of systemic racism against black people is to call it “driven by pain”?  Una brain dey work so? At least pretend to have something to say in response. I understand that when one is embarrassed they tend to display gra gra tendencies in order to avoid saying “I was wrong and I’m sorry”. But you guys take it to dizzying heights of absurdity. tctrills: Lol I don't owe you one but I already told you, I run a consultancy business you YouTube channels.
But then, just imagine how much effect I had on your leftist chick. She literally spent hours, maybe days investigating. That girl is truly something. I give it to her for her tenacity.
She was driven by pain but, it's ok, most leftist are driven by pain. |

You’re speaking to the wind. His mind is blocked by maga propaganda DeepSight: Systemic racism in the United States is very real. Those who try to say it isnt are one of the following - plain ignorant or brainwashed far right elements who have bought into the attempt to claim that there is no racism in America and that blacks have suffered nothing. This attempt is so grievous that even the real history of America is something they dont want taught in schools anymore! It’s akin to the way the Nigerian Government is against the teaching of history because they don't want the next generation to know the atrocities of the Nigerian Civil War.
Let me use one main example to show you systemic racism - I will use housing. In this, I am going to go back into the 20th century and come up till date, and I must warn you NOT to simply say "oh that is the past" - you know why? Because this thing affects today's reality. For example if I show you how one group of people were enabled to acquire housing easily while it was made extremely difficult for another group, you can clearly see how the latter group will be greatly disadvantaged in the creation of wealth for generations to come - because real estate is capital and it is inherited and those who hold good real estate are more secure generationally than those who dont. Therefore I dont expect you to fail to see how those unfair housing practices have an effect up till today in the disparity between whites and blacks.
I extract those systemic racist housing practices and polices for you below - ------------------
1. Redlining (1930s – 1960s) The Home Owners' Loan Corporation (HOLC) created "residential security maps" to assess the risk of mortgages. Black neighborhoods were systematically marked in red—indicating they were "hazardous" for investment.
The Impact: Banks refused to issue mortgages in these areas, regardless of an individual's creditworthiness. This institutionalized segregation and prevented Black families from accessing the low-interest loans that built the American middle class after World War II.
2. Racially Restrictive Covenants Until the Supreme Court ruled them unenforceable in 1948 (Shelley v. Kraemer), many property deeds included legally binding clauses that prohibited the sale or lease of the home to non-white people.
The Impact: These covenants ensured that even if a Black family could afford a home in a burgeoning suburb, they were legally barred from moving in, effectively "locking" them into deteriorating inner-city environments.
3. "Blockbusting" and White Flight Real estate agents often used "blockbusting" tactics, where they would convince white homeowners that Black families were moving into the neighborhood, triggering a panic sale at low prices.
The Impact: Agents then sold those same homes to Black families at inflated prices with predatory terms. As white residents fled to the suburbs, the local tax base eroded, leading to the decline of schools and municipal services in urban centers.
4. Contract Buying Because traditional mortgages were often unavailable due to redlining, many Black families in the mid-20th century turned to "buying on contract." In these arrangements, the seller kept the deed until the very last payment was made.
The Impact: If a buyer missed a single payment, they could be evicted immediately, losing their entire investment and all equity. This was a massive drain on Black wealth, particularly in cities like Chicago.
5. Modern Challenges (1970s – Present) While the Fair Housing Act of 1968 made discrimination illegal, the effects of past policies persist, and new forms of bias have emerged:
Subprime Lending & Predatory Loans: Leading up to the 2008 financial crisis, Black borrowers were significantly more likely to be steered into high-interest subprime loans, even when they qualified for prime rates. This led to a disproportionate wave of foreclosures in Black communities.
Appraisal Bias: Recent studies and news reports have highlighted "appraisal gaps," where homes owned by Black families are valued significantly lower than identical homes in white neighborhoods. In some cases, homeowners have "whitewashed" their houses (removing family photos and having a white friend stand in) only to see the appraised value jump by hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The Wealth Gap: Because home equity is the primary source of wealth for most American families, decades of exclusion have resulted in a massive racial wealth gap. This makes it harder for current generations to afford down payments without the "intergenerational wealth" (inheritance or gifts) that many white families utilize. ----------------- You see, the USA is a very complicated place which many do not understand and speak from ignorance about. The above alone, in terms of complicated housing discrimination speaks to a great deal. It shows you how a particular demographic has been deliberately impoverished.
And if you know this, and are informed about this, at the minimum, you should shattap immediately with that refrain of "excuses" and "blacks are just lazy" and "blacks just have a bad culture."
Even if you want to hold blacks to higher standards as you claim, it will become irresponsible of you not to recognize and acknowledge all this once you are aware.
It is very much like the case of Francophone West African countries which have been under a hideous choke-hold by France. If you come to know the details of that choke-hold, you will recoil immediately and forever shattap with any claims that such African countries are just lazy and corrupt and thats why they are backward. I am not saying there isnt a problem of corruption everywhere there most certainly is - - but once you are informed of the details of what France has been up to in those countries, you will hold your horses on condemning only the Africans. You will see the broader and clearer picture of what has been happening and Ijebos, who you say you dont read, made a good point about this in the case of Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger Republic who in recent years took their collective destiny into their own hands.
By the way you should humble yourself and read from Ijebos because he is someone who is very enlightened and one tends to learn from reading from people like that. It would do you a lot of good - I myself learn bits and pieces I would not have known even from dimwits here. That is the nature of learning. Even a child can teach you something, and for the open minded, learning never ends.
So that is very much like the case with black America, anyone who is properly informed on the history, the context and the real situation would not say the things all of you have been saying. I have woken up in a good mood today, so I tell you I am speaking not for adversarial debate when I say most sincerely that all of you who have been bashing black people recklessly do not come across as being well informed on the topic you are discussing. If you had a clue about it, you would be solemn and even astonished about what has transpired to stymie the progress of black people in the states.
Let me add a few references -
1. Decades of Systemic Housing Discrimination Contribute to the Overrepresentation of Black Americans Among the Nation’s Homeless
https://thenightministry.org/decades-of-systemic-housing-discrimination-contribute-to-the-overrepresentation-of-black-americans-among-the-nations-homeless/
2. Here you can read how racial discrimination in housing has led to inequalities over the years -

3. Discriminatory housing practices are leading to the devaluation of Black Americans -
https://www.brookings.edu/articles/discriminatory-housing-practices-are-leading-to-the-devaluation-of-black-americans/
Now remember as I said, that housing is just one area, even if a significant one. But I have chosen it because real estate is cardinal to building generational wealth. And if you look at the broader picture beyond housing, men, the systemic racism which has impoverished the black minority is unspeakable.
And it is undeniable.
And it is callous to sit back and call these "excuses."

PS: You mentioned BLM. As a principle it is of course on point and resonates. However as an organized movement there were many issues with it, sadly, including financial impropriety with donated funds. Also it unnecessarily tied itself to other causes such as the trans gender movement and in this way came to be seen as anti-traditional family values. |

Israel is in a desert surrounded by enemies. Black America is in one of the most fertile and prosperous lands full of all opportunities.
Black America has limitless opportunities but they chose failure. Israel is limited by geography yet they became the start up nation.

We need a matriarchy. Like yesterday! Everywhere you look, “good men” are demonstrating their goodness outside of comment sections. The “some, but not all.” But it is always a man, a good man.
One count of sexual battery—for the destruction of a child’s life. That’s what this system considers justice.
And in the same breath, society pressures women to keep having children—even in environments that are clearly unsafe. There is no meaningful protection for the children already here, and no real protection for women either.
A 62-year-old man commits this level of harm, permanently altering a child’s life, and the response is a single charge. One count. As if the magnitude of what was done can be contained in something so minimal.
Then people wonder why birth rates are declining. This is part of the answer. When safety is not guaranteed, when accountability is weak, when systems fail so profoundly—people opt out.
LET THE BIRTH RATE PLUMMET TO HELL!

basilico: It's awesome for the victims who go through it. It's not awesome for abusers who are encouraged to lock up their victims. what’s good for the victims is always the priority A physical appearance before a doctor may reveal whether the sex was consensual. A doctor doesn’t decide if the sex was consensual. If the victim says it wasn’t, then it wasn’t. If they’re underage, it’s non-consensual even if they say otherwise. A third party doesn’t get to decide for the victim if they were abused or not. This is why I don’t engage internet boys on this topic . You guys talk nonsense a whole lot. Talm bout some “the doctor will decide if it was non- consensual” 🙄 If an abuser points a weapon at you or threatens you with physical harm and you give in, there will be no physical signs of aggravated assault. Does that mean it was consensual? Pls I’m begging you people to think about what you say before you say it. Rep Nancy Mace already has such a bill. Death penalty to a specific category of child abusers. Vote out those who will be against it. Would be interesting to see what’s exactly in the bill. Or knowing Nancy Mace, wouldn’t be surprised if it’s another disguised attack against the LGBTQ community under the guise of protecting the kids. While actively supporting known paydoughs and credibly accused raypists. There are cases of girls and boys who unable to pay cartels their money hold them in servitude pimping them out to abusers. Granting the cartels access to abortion pills is literally selling out the trafficking victims. Those pills should not be OTC , as I've suggested abortion should be only be allowed after counselling the victims . Counseling the victims on what? The need to keep a rape offspring? Yea I’m not in support of punishing sex trafficking victims with pregnancy. What do you think they’ll do if the girls are pregnant and can’t be sold for sex anymore? You think they’ll let them go? No sir. They’ll kill them if they can’t make profit off of them anymore. Or they’ll find the most barbaric way to abort the pregnancy. Abortions predate the abortion pill. The pills are a mercy. A savior from coat hangers and rusty dusty unsanitary backyard abortion providers. Listen to me (a woman and a healthcare professional) when I tell you that access to abortion is a life saver for women in all categories of life. It’s not a conversation I find fit for men to engage in. Most of you don’t have a basic understanding of the ramifications involved in forced birthing for women. Especially when you say things like the doctor will determine if the sex was consensual. So if the doctor decides the sex was consensual then we force her to carry the baby? I can’t with you guys.. |

This is such a disgusting take. Do you even have any idea what you’re talking about? You know America is a hyper capitalist scape and to succeed as a community, black America needs to be able to control their own sources of capital, loans, mortgages etc. Which they did and still do and every time they make way in their progress, racist America destroys it. Have you read about the destruction of black Wall Street? Which if left alone today would’ve funded many African American businesses without the prejudices that white lenders often attach to their business. Do you know how many successful African American communities have been massacred and paved over with parks and lakes so that they never get ahead in life? I pray for you that you may become more enlightened. I remember when I was uninformed like you too. And I chose pious hoity toity self righteousness thinking I must be somehow better than African Americans since I’m able to succeed and some of them still struggle. Oh the naivety. I kinda pity you that you’re still stuck there mentally. But I have hope that you will wake up one day. Get woke. Thank you tctrills: You are right, no 2 stories are exactly the same but these are people with similar stories. One grew and developed, the other continues to dwindle and play the blame game.

These particular xenophobic black south Africans are uncle Toms who have suffered apartheid and are now practicing it on other blacks. They believe that the other blacks from other countries are inferior criminals that are spoiling their country- South Africa.
How is this different from Black MAGA (Basilico, Ramdeuter,bemeruca and benalvino3), who believe that other blacks in America (liberal blacks) are inferior, have bad culture and are welfare queens?

-They hate their fellow commoners.✅
-They worship racist rich white men.✅
-They disregard the efforts of immigrants who helped build their economy.✅
-As we speak, rich white men own the vast majority of wealth in their country yet they think black Nigerians are the problem. Same way republicans think immigrants are the problem.✅
-pretty sure every crisis they have with Nigerians is somehow instigated by their white masters who continually brainwash them to see other poor people as the problem. That way they never revolt and ask for what’s rightfully theirs. ✅
-Elon musk took that apartheid mindset and came to America and he’s hoping he can add to the anti African American sentiment and open doors for racist white people from SA to America✅

Recent floor votes on the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act in the House and Senate show strict party-line splits, with Republicans voting in favour and Democrats voting against.
1. January 2025 House Vote (Passed) In the 119th Congress, the House passed the bill (H.R. 21) on January 23, 2025.
Total Vote: 217 "Yea" to 204 "Nay". Republicans: All present Republicans (216) voted Yea. Democrats: 204 Democrats voted Nay. 1 Democrat voted Yea and 1 Democrat voted Present.
2. January 2025 Senate Vote (Blocked) In the Senate, Republicans attempted to advance the bill (invoke cloture) on January 22, 2025, but failed to reach the required 60 votes.
Republicans: Voted unanimously Yea to proceed. Democrats: Voted unanimously Nay to proceed, successfully blocking the measure.
3. January 2023 House Vote (Passed) In the 118th Congress, the bill (H.R. 26) passed the House on January 11, 2023.
Total Vote: 220 "Yea" to 210 "Nay". Republicans: 219 Republicans voted Yea. None voted against it. Democrats: 210 Democrats voted Nay. Only 1 Democrat (Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas) voted Yea, and 1 Democrat (Rep. Vicente Gonzalez of Texas) voted Present.
4. February 2020 Senate Vote (Blocked) An older Senate vote to invoke cloture on the bill (S. 311) fell short of the 60-vote threshold with a 56 to 41 outcome. Republicans: 53 Republicans voted Yea. Democrats: 41 Democrats (and Independents who caucus with them) voted Nay. 3 Democrats (Senators Bob Casey, Doug Jones, and Joe Manchin) broke from their party to vote Yes
