How come Indians come here and do well.

Many whites make fun of them, don't like

them etc. They are brown in color.

They kick financial butt and have strong

families.

Thoughts?

ppl who rely on BET and faux news for info on black people?

Exactly, the same people who arent going to watch this. Which is what I was saying to my mother and granny. The people that need to see this wont/cant watch and the other people dont care.

I guess my thing is the same thing I kept sayin to Crown_amps, a while back. There really is no sense in bitching, if you dont have a solution. All this story did was point ou tproblems and throw a few interesting facts and statistics in there.

When the guy was talking about why the white man licked the black woman's face. That shit really blew my mind, I would like to hear more of what he has to say or studied. But the rest of it was just ehhhh.

The first thing I said about that one woman.....stop havin babies. Really, I mean you put yourself in that situation. I know people like this, I have lived in bad neighborhoods my brother's girl's sisters live in the projects and have a bunch of kids, so I know the attitude, and I cant have any sympathy for them.

Theres only one solution for the people I deal with back in the bmore projects.....take them completely out of that environment. There is no other way. Just my opinion.

To add on to the "you put yourself in that situation", I think they are going to get further into it when they go to the men tomorrow.

why they leave black women and their children with no father and no husband, no man of the household.

In my opinion white people, in general, are more willing to accept black people than vice versa. Of course, it is a lot easier to "let bygones be bygones" when you were not the one getting screwed over.

Nonetheless, I think that intelligent white people understand that it is in everyone's interest for black people to be successful. I know someone may call bullshit, but being black can actually be an advantage in one's career. And no, I don't have a problem with that. I think that in the long run that is a good thing.

For some reason i didnt see this post, I think I was ignoring you by accident. My bad

Indians as well as asians use the minority grants that the government issues. Black people do not. Back in bmore or any urban city Ive been to, asians own the liquor stores in black neighborhoods.

Theres so much more i could post on this, but I dont want to overdo this thread.

Maybe 1 in 1000 asians has a liquor store, that does not explain

the overall statistical difference between asian and black prosperity.

The difference is slavery, blacks had it indians and asians did not, at

least not at the hands of "american" whites.

Shit, where ive been in the hood 100% of the liquor stores are asian owned.

also, I edited a lot out of that post, which is why it didnt make any sense.

Asians and indians also take up a smaller population in inner cities. If they actually lived there, I think the story would be different.

But I do see what you are getting at, or the point you are about to make.

I dont need a poll to tell me that. This documentary had good marketing and all, but most people arent going to take anything from it. And people, that my granny want to see it, arent going to be watching. If you were living this life, why would you watch it? Or could you watch it.......

People that dont live it and dont donate or do any type of service to less forunate.....they may watch, but what are they going to do....not a dam, because they dont care, nor does it affect them.

I have the same feeling, not just about this, but about anything. Ill watch it, but I know dam well im not going to do anything about it.

shit yesterday i was laughing at 600lb people. Would I help them? NO Its their problem and habits that got them that way.
