It's shameful the way blacks in European countries are marginalized. No blacks with wealth, influence, or fame. No black leadership, no black art... Racist degenerates...
` Everyplace in the world where blacks are in sizeable numbers, there is a massive disproportionate increase in crime.
This from the woman who said if her neighborhood turns more than 20% black she's moving? Really.... - - - Updated - - - So you're claim is that there is high crime in affluent black neighborhoods? Your prejudice is showing.
Murder rates per capita US: 3.9 Madagascar: 0.6 Burkina Faso: 0.7 Morocco: 1.0 Algeria: 1.5 Ghana: 1.7 Etc. Many countries with almost entirely Black populations have a much lower murder rate than the US so your statement is false.
Mo Ibrahim, Damon Buffini, Lennox Lewis, Billy Ocean, Karen Blackett, Steve McQueen, Chuka Umunna, Idris Elb, Malorie Blackman, David Adjaye, Tidjane Thiam, Baroness Patricia Scotland, Lewis Hamilton, Lenny Henry, and Sharon White. And that's only the UK.
You don't know much about black people of African decent in Europe, do you? You are not aware of all of the extremely successful black people there?
I know who Billy Ocean is... Steve McQueen...that was funny because America's Steve McQueen is a very white icon. Oprah, Obama, Michael Jackson, Denzel Washington, Beyonce. I bet you know all of those American blacks. There is NO OTHER COUNTRY blacks have succeeded more. My lil US of A is very young compared to anything in Europe.... Women and minorities in my awesome young country can be presidents to the global superpower. The UK has been around for millennia. Ya'll ain't American.
Oprah Winfrey, Denzel Washington, Michael Jackson, Barack Obama, Bill Cosby, Beyonce. No doubt you know all those black Americans. The world knows them. There is no other country where blacks have been more prosperous than in the US.
Haha... I was thinking Guns n Roses... James Bond and the Beatles were a lil before my time. Sean Connery was the sexiest Bond, imo. He is so timeless. Teenage girls still find him incredibly attractive.
Idris Elba, Billy Ocean, Sade, Estelle, Corrine Bailey Rae, Solomon - Brits Misty Copeland who is in The Royal Ballet... This is just the tip of the iceberg focusing mostly on Great Britian where black kids of African decent are more likely to go to college than their white peers.
I don't know why becoming a celebrity would be your main gauge of success but there are very prosperous black people from Europe, including celebrities. There are numerous black professionals there, as well. See my list to Doug for some celebrities. That post to him was meant for you.
Nobody knows your black leaders, musicians, actors, comedians, athletes, etc. But the world knows ours. Let me reiterate my point...there has never been another country in which blacks have prospered like they have in America. A black president was elected for two terms to lead the global superpower. And a woman may be next.
And yet look at where most murders occur in the U.S. in Drug dealing Ghetto areas, Minority turf wars.
Rephrase - you haven't been exposed to some of these celebrities. That certainly doesn't mean that they aren't recognized globally. Have you ever heard of Bob Marley? Give me a break. Yes, America is a great country. There are also wealthy people of all races in different parts of the world. The richest black person in the world isn't American. He also isn't a celebrity, which isn't a requirement for success. That's a good thing because most of the world's successful people aren't celebrities. I am American but some of your beliefs are incorrect.
Blacks in Europe have it better than blacks in the US. In Sweden, racial profiling is banned. In France, blacks were citizens since France owned half of Africa. During the Nazi regime in Germany, blacks had more rights in the army that blacks in the US did. In the UK, slavery was banned a long time before the US banned it. European Jazz was started by blacks and gypsies in Europe. Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean that European black art and leadership doesn't exist. There are black leaders. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/wor...lack-leader-of-mainstream-European-party.html
European jazz? Now that is a phrase I've never heard. Jazz came out of Louisiana here... I said that blacks in the US have been more prosperous than blacks anywhere else. I didn't say there were no black European leaders or artists.
