Why do so many African Americans vote democrat? Why are all the race riots and crime in liberal cities?
African Americans migrated from the agricultural jobs in the south, to cities in the north for jobs... mostly in manufacturing. Cities became 'liberal' due to the dynamics of diversity and commerce. When everybody is working and making money liberalism flourishes. The demise of manufacturing, the failure of that population to retool for a different economy has led to unemployment, and it's cousins: crime, dysfunctional families, drug trade, along with crumbling tax revenue, infrastructure, schools, housing and other sustaining and supportive social services. FDR and the democrats after him have tended to be 'liberal' and embracing of diversity. Except for the southern "blue dog" democrats who mostly became Republicans over the segregation issue, the Democratic Party aligns itself not only with urban areas (where there are lots of blacks and other's votes), but with other groups such as labor. The other choice for voters is the current two-party system is the GOP which tends to be rural, southern, bible belt, affluent, and conservative (status-quo-seeking) and does not seem to speak to issues of major concern of African American voters.P.S. There were many race riots after WWI where returning African American veterans prospered and built thriving communities. These race riots were perpetrated by pissed off whites in places like Oklahoma, Texas, and Florida.See wiki for more info on white race riots:
What should Indians learn from the rest of the world?
Learn to “Respect” and “Value” its own people1. Our Gods survive on Gold; 22 crores extremely poor Indians can survive on air( Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhara Rao Wednesday offering gold ornaments worth Rs 5.6 crore at the famous Lord Venkateshwara Temple in Tirupati in Feb 2017)How many times you felt our generous rich politicians, film stars, businessmen, celebrities and other people have been blindly donating gold to temples for our God to survive?2. Talk about “Talent Management”, ”Employee motivation” and other Western theories; while you manage your people in a Desi manner.How many times you felt that the degree you earned is undervalued in your current company; that there are more company policies to control you than to help you; that if you did not cancel that family outing to complete that powerpoint ppt on Sunday, the boss will tear you apart on Monday; that you should atleast get a response even after following up with 100 recruiters for an interview?3. Hello, Namaste to Firangis; “go to hell” to its own peopleHow many times you felt that local auto wala, kirana shop wala, or passersby are quite nice to Western foreigners but when YOU need a ride or some help, suddenly their tone turns soar and rude and they shove you aside?4. You will get robbed while bleeding to death on Indian roads(A Delhi passerby picking up the phone of an abandoned accident victim in Aug, 2016)How many times have you passed by an accident victim on the road just coldly staring at the entire TAMASHA? How many times have you found our own people helpful to you at the point when you need them the most?
People will you still fear Iran after reading this?
Salaam, Khoobi ! Fascinating. Loved every thing you've mentioned, also the links, loved'em all. I really appreciate the time and effort you've put in this. I'm certain, there're lot of people who will enjoy this and get informed a bit about our country. Don't worry about some of these clowns with weired and repugnant responses. There're lot of good Americans who get the points and are comprehensible, however there're lot of fu**heads among them as you can observe in some of the responses who are total jerks and are completely blinded by nationalism and think they're better than every body and every nation!! F**em, not worth paying attention to those kinds. I came to Iran few years back after 20 years being abroad and loved every Minuit of it. Spend three months with friends and family and travelled a lot, specially 'SHOMAL'. Amazing time i had and amazing GIRLS! wow, it was awesome! Tehran was totally changed and lot more modernized. You're definitely on the money, those westerners who don't know Iran, won't conceive how it is. OK, take a good care of your self and keep up a good work! PS. I'm really impressed with your English and writing. Hamah ro beboos!
Why is it hard for a Chinese guy to get an American girl?
It's really not that hard.I'm speaking from my own experience here. I have dated Jews, African Americans, Hispanics, and Caucasian Americans. The funny thing is that most my Chinese friends admired me for doing so. That attitude I think is the Achilles heel of this story.To note: I do not consider myself to be at the top of the ladder in terms of attractiveness. I'm 5 foot 4, not particularly muscular, and definitely not at an age where I would be rich.The real problem is changing your defeatist attitude so that you actually try to be the best of yourself and present it. Yes I know that there are cultural differences, but these are technical problems that can be overcome with time and hard work. What I do know is that people, regardless of men or women, generally are attracted to confidence. So if you are Chinese, OWN IT. Like these posts that write about dating being a bald man:How do I find a spouse considering the fact that I have hairloss?Or like Sanjay Sabnani's answer to Hair Loss and Baldness: I have started going bald and I'm only 20. Should I give up with women? I'm not saying that you have to agree with all of the things that your government does or to strictly follow the traditional philosophy of Chinese people but simply to present yourself as someone that has a little bit more self-respect. Don't put American girls on a holy pedestal of beauty and simply be yourself. Why? Because this makes you look creepy as hell. The American analogy for this would be the creepy Japanophiles or "Yellow Fever" guys perving over cosplay girls. I am not judging you, but what is suggested in the question is that you specifically target American girls rather than give everyone a fair chance. Maybe you have a fantasy about them, but you could do with a little bit less objectification of American women and appreciate a little more of their personality that the simple offering that they are American. You'll be happier when you realize that.Now there will always be people that do not like you and discriminate against you. That is not your problem to care about. You also have to be aware that different cultures observe human characteristics differently and learn that effective communication.Get some confidence and stop feeling that they are out of your league.
What are some examples of the “wussification” of the United States of America?
About six years ago or so when I was still in high school, we were playing soccer in gym class. After about five minutes in or so, the kid who was playing as my team’s forward (we’ll call him “Brock”) came up to me, who was playing goalie, and said he wanted to be the goalie now. I politely declined, because the game was only five minutes in, and that's just not how soccer (or the real world) works.After about 30 seconds of arguing back and forth over it, he presumed the second best option to be to grab me by the shirt and try to drag me out of the goalie box. Or in other words, physically assaulted me.As a natural reaction and in accordance with what the law actually says, I laid into Brock with one good hit.I then see the gym instructor approaching us to break up the scuffle that was occuring. When he gets to us, he sends us both to the principal’s office.Brock’s punishmen was a week of out-of-school suspension. And I received the exact same punishment.Why? Because according to my school’s policy on fighting, if you are even merely involved in a fight, it’s an automatic out-of-school suspension, so the principal technically doesn't even get to use his own discretion regarding disciplining students regarding these types of matters.I remember him even saying to me “Geraldo, coming from person to person, I would have done the exact same thing as you. However, as a school official, I unfortunately have no choice but to suspend you”.What my school expects you to do if you are to find yourself in the situation I was in, is to passively submit and take your beating, and then once that is finished, you are to go to a teacher and tell on the person who attacked you. (Because it’s not like the person you just told on isn't going to kick the shit out of you for rolling on them once you're outside school property, right?)Say you were to get jumped by five people at my school. Well that means that a total of six people will be getting suspended. That being the five dudes who assualted you, and yourself, for being assaulted.If that's not an example of institutionalized wussification, I don’t know what is.
What is the worst argument in the world?
This is what happened with me recently. The 4-year-old healthy computer suddenly crashes saying 'CPU fan error'. So I tell father. Father (getting annoyed): How did it happen? What did you do? Me (calmly): I didn't do anything. When I switched it on it gave me this error, which I initially ignored, it was running fine for a while then it suddenly crashed. The system shut down automatically. Father (getting more annoyed): How can it shut down automatically? Why did you ignore the error in first place? What did you do with the computer last time? You say you didn't do anything, I hardly use the computer now, your mother doesn't use it, your brother doesn't give a shit about it, then WHO DID IT? Me (trying to calm myself): I don't know. I didn't do anything. I don't even use it since I got my laptop. YOU used it a couple of days back for some work. Besides, it's 4 years old and never have we once given it for servicing. The CPU fan must have gone kaput. Father (judging me): What do you mean you don't know? You mean when things get old they falter? We should throw away? That means you will have this approach towards us too? Is this why I raised you? To hear this? Me (getting really annoyed and confused but trying hard not to show): Where is this conversation heading?Father (full-fledgedly accusing me for the crash): THIS.. THIS behavior of yours.. You behave this way, that's why the computer crashed. Now don't look at my face, call the maintenance guy and get it fixed. You don't know how to handle delicate things. How will you run a family?! And father storms out of the room. Me: ......??????????????????????
