While he may have a point, 'cause don't get me wrong, some of my favorite music is made by black people, I think it was a little racist. I think there has become a double standard when it comes to this kind of thing. If a white actor came out and said white people are the most talented, he would be shunned, he would be called racist and his career would probably suffer. I will probably be considered racist for voicing this opinion.

What do you think?
The following is something I pulled off the web a few months ago. Who and where it came from I have no idea, but, I will post a bit of the article.

'Xianist says 12/15/2008:' You may be able to find the entire article; it is a little over a page long; but, begins by stating that the 'article is really just a synopsis of the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion...it's nothing new or astounding'. And, it wasn't.

"Look at the society you live in. Who are the new icons in America? Not politicians; hardly athletes; but your musicians, especially rap artists. We have controlled the African population in the American states so well. We've glorified their impoverished lifestyles. Their purposes are to only breed like the cells of an infectious disease, and completely waste any money we've given to them on a slew of material objects we've designed solely for them. We build them up, making them feel like they have equality. Even gave them a TV station to reach the masses of Africans to continuously force down their throats what, how, and why we want them to act. We've given them their own magazines, as if we actually care about their culture. They have been our best TEST subjects, aside from a few of our own".

I have found several articles on the subject of these 'protocols'. Who wrote them, and, are they true? I don't know, but, someone or somethings gave someone the words to type down. I remember when rap came out, and, I thought it wasn't even what I considered music; and, thought it would disappear much the way disco died after a few years. For some reason, it remains appealing to fourteen year old girls, including my 14 year old daughter.

Are black people more physically talented or gifted than whites in America? When Jimmy the Greek came out and said yes; and mentioned it was because the physical traits were a result of selective breeding of slaves in this country; he was subsequently fired as a sports analyst on CBS.

At the risk of sounding racist, and, I am certainly far from it; I would have to agree that in this country blacks are physically superior than most (not all) whites, and, we see that in the major sports scene here. Overall, are they more creatively talented than whites? Not in my opinion. Jamie Foxx's comment is certainly a racist one, and, I didn't know or hear anything about it until I just read it here. Creatively speaking, I have to give that one to the Jews (the other test subjects)

Just kidding there, it would differ I am sure depending on individual taste, and, Jamie Foxx was out of line for that comment; and, personally I think he is overrated as an actor and comedian. He made his name from the fact that he can do a spot on impersonation of Ray Charles, which won him an undeserved oscar in my opinion. Race music became rock n roll; however, Paul McCartney said that without Buddy Holly there would have never been The Beatles, there you have it.

Has anyone ever heard of 'national beat up a white kid day'? Probably not. peace Who does the best version of 'The Midnight Special'? CCR. whiteys.

ummm, firstly, the Protocols are nonsense that have been proven to be false on countless occasions.

Secondly, the notion that Black slaves in the USA were bred for particular traits is problematic for two reasons. One, the transatlantic slave trade ended (for this nation) in 1807, and Slavery itself (apart from cases such as Indian ownership of Black slaves) ended in 1865. Further, when the internal slave trade was ongoing (for 57 years) the largest market for slaves were plantations with huge mortality rates, particularly Sugar Cane fields in Louisiana. The owners of these plantations were not interested in particular attributes because the average lifespan of slaves on the plantations was about one year.

So, no. Even if there was some elaborate program to breed for particular traits, there wasn't enough time for such selection to become meaningful, and what selection occurred would've been rendered useless due to the economic dynamics of the slave trade within the USA.

Hope this has been informative.

I don't disagree with you. And, it is informative, so, you should quote the source if you found this on the web, or in a history book, because I disagree with whoever gave you this information. I read a paragraph of the wiki article, and, it did end in Britain in 1807, because, the Brits were just so noble that slavery was unacceptable and improper Give me a break; it was no longer necessary or profitable due to the industrial revolution. I am not going to research, but, I do know that slavery in this country began about the time the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock; a little over a decade after the genius' who landed in Jamestown in 1607, expecting gold to be lying all over the beach, stopped starving to death and discovered another crop Both tobacco and cotton were also very profitable, and, a big part of the southern exports; which also utilized slavery. I would imagine that when they put other human beings on those auction blocks, the more physically stout and fit probably cost more, and, may have been used as more than simply a years worth of labor. And, the 57 years is a bit off on the time frame for your argument. It was more of about 240 years, so there was time.

Quite frankly, it doesn't matter. The main point is the Jamie Foxx comment; which is asinine, and, just adds fuel to the race card in this world order of rat races. So, no argument here. You're right, but, it does allow for a good song from Two Gallants. They're white; read the lyrics



Well, the summer day make a white man lazy

Well, all I've ever known is poor
Owe my skin to the country store
Throw my walls, my roof, my door
But he tells me I'm free
But I fight the will to live
Hell might take but heaven gives
It's the only one so I'll forgive
And Im not the one to grieve

And the summer day make a white man lazy
He sits on his porch killing time
I gotta work to feed my wife and baby
I work so god damn hard that it's a crime

Well, I went down to the polling place
The white men there just laughed in my face
Saying boy, this ain't no ******'s race
You best get on your way
Sir, I believe I've got the right
Said you ain't got nothing if you ain't white
And I thought I said get out of site
Well, what was I to say?

And the summer day make a white man lazy
He sits on his porch killing time
I gotta work to feed my wife and baby
I work so god damn hard that it's a crime

When I was 'bout the age of five
Watched my daddy burned alive
They cut him low and they hung him high
Swayin' in the breeze
The last words I heard him say
Before they stole his life that day
Was forgive them lord, they gone astray
Now take me to my knees

And the summer day make a white man lazy
He sits on his porch killing time
But the summer day make a ****** feel crazy
Might make me do something out of line

Well, I don't know but I heard tell
Of a fungus below a place called hell
And who would catch me if I fell?
Who would pray for me?
But one thing I see for sure
It's hot as hell up here I know
And the devil lives right down the road
It's all the same to me

And a summer day make a white man feel lazy
He sits on his porch killing time
But the summer day make a ****** feel crazy
Might make me do something out of line

But if you should see my wife
Tell her that I won't be home tonight
So don't leave on the light
I got a little business down the road
And If I'm dead by sunrise
Kiss my baby girl for me
It ain't life if it ain't free
I've got a mighty burden to unload

i don't even know what to make of the last couple of posts, but to me is seems like jamie foxx's statement is pretty racist. i don't hold it against him though. the whole colonialist infrastructure is f*cking racist as all hell. so what if some black guy hates on whites a bit? i sure as hell don't take it personally.

if i was black it would be a constant struggle to not feel the same. in the article foxx quips about having to be "white for eight hours today." no white person can relate to that.

my problem with racism is that when a white guy is racist it's a superiority thing. some white people really do think that they are simply entitled to more than other races. when a black person is racist, it's because he's drawing on centuries of persecution and oppression... obviously i'm not black and i don't know the feeling, but it could very well be something like muscle memory or a genetic disposition, in which case all blacks are in some way fighting the urge to speak their mind about a great many things for fear of ruining what progress we've made in our collective effort toward harmony... harmony in a very white world.

i don't want to come off like i know what i'm talking about, cuz i don't, but so what if that's what he thinks. seriously. it's not current enough for us? okay. well get over it. if your ancestors were slaves and the sexual playthings of aristocrats, do you think it might take you a little while longer to get over it than it took for you to be allowed into white schools, vote for white presidents, get white jobs and marry in white churches? who the f*ck are we to tell them it's time to stop being angry with us?

maybe he didn't even mean what he said. maybe he just knew it would p*ss off a bunch of egocentric whites.

you make some good points. Racism is sold to the western world by the ruling cabal. I believe if they had their druthers, it would be a lily white world, but, there is something to consider.

There is no black or white. It's an illusion. Black or white? Neither is a color. They are absence of color. The major problem today is the fact that they are teaching and selling hatred and fear. They have flooded the minds with information overload, and, have pitted the ethnic groups one against the others. If someone could get it out to the world that these two books can be cleared up in a snap, but, no one wants to hear it. Too bad. Kids are hating, and, love goes out the door. Can't have it. Love is a verb, whether transitive or intransitive. Verbs have no opposite, only an absence. If Jamie Foxx believes blacks are more talented, he should certainly exclude himself; he is just not that talented. Michael Jackson was talented; and, became a freak show. Elvis was talented as well; and, became a freak show. Will Smith is talented, as is Mark Wahlberg. (spell check please). Everyone has a talent, and, there is no one group more talented than another. It is fact. The bullsh*t has to stop, and, it has to start with cleaning up this religious mess.

Oh well, there is a song for every thought. Lily white world. Hmmm. I'm pretty darn white, and, I don't want to see it.

Where the hell were you educated boy, Arkansas or California? Only the period between the ending of the Transatlantic Slave Trade & the Civil War is relevant; for a population to develop a meaningfully different expression of particular alleles isolation is required. The period before 1807 is irrelevant because there were continuing, large importation of slaves from wildly disparate population groups.

We best teach what we most need to learn. If you are addressing me, then you totally missed the point concerning any group of people being more talented. There is a group of people on every forum which seems to think they are superior intellectually, and, they seem to pop up in a particular area.

I suppose while you were busy being educated; I used the time to actually learn and contemplate, rather than be educated. And, history is a subject that is so hard to learn, because, the books don't exactly tell the story straight. It is a subject recorded second, or third by the white man. And, much of it from the perspective of white men from Europe, and, a particular kingdom which has exploited well more than half the planet.

The reason for not researching is due the fact that I took quite a few history courses while majoring in history in Ohio.

I also spent a decade at the University of Hell-Handbasket Campus, and, graduated with the 'crown of Life', and a new name, a white stone, and a Phd in humility, so, I won't contend with you other than to strongly suggest nixing the rude remarks. Ouch, they hurt when they come back at you.
