That's it, I'm done.
The only thing I agreed with is that I'd like HN to be for hacker stuff, and not for politics and social commentary.
(Also, why is a commend denoted "flagged", when it in reality is deleted?)
I think I'm just done with HN. It's amazing the hateful things people post here towards one group yet rebuttals don't seem to be allowed. Especially with this crowd.
I can see it now, but I still can't comment on it. Is that because the author deleted it or something?
1. Einstein was speaking about American slave owners, who were primarily white. I believe the term 'whites' is inclusive of Jews.
2. Einstein wrote this article in 1946... so there were likely a lot less black millionaires.
3. I think he was only making an observation that the whites around him (not necessarily all the whites around the world) still discriminated and thought less African Americans. He goes on to explain that some of their feelings are reasonable and have been experienced in the past... but are nonetheless flawed.
I'm not sure what your arguments above are supposed to point out... but Einstein was pointing out a problem in 1946... problems which may or may not be the same today.
Every fault of the black community is the result of white privilege and/or supremacy. And whites must constantly absorb those faults until everything is equalized.
You have not answered a single point, you have simply pretended that those points don't exist.
However, they do need to treat everyone around them like equal human beings and offer equal opportunities to men and women of equal skills. Modern-day blacks need to realize that they're in control of their own destinies and demonstrate that they are equally human beings.
That's just my opinion. I'm an Sub-Saharan African man... so I'm well accustomed to people assuming that I'm less capable just because of the average capabilities demonstrated by people in the region. I think that that's a little unfair, but I've got to do what I can to prove that they're wrong. Otherwise, I'm just proving that I have the ability to complain.
