I want to say first: I believe that all people are born with the same potential, and no race is superior or inferior to another.
another post here asked "Do you have an unpopular opinion?"
I think, in general, black culture is horrible and does a real disservice to black people.
1)Without sounding like Bill O'Reilly or Dr. Laura- the plain fact is: it is better for children to be raised by a mother and a father. A lot of problems would be solved if more people stopped trying to avoid that fact.
2)The art that most people associate with black culture is rap music, and as an art, rap is pretty weak. In general, most rap deals with things "as they are", with basic reality, and usually the negative aspects about it- this makes it the equivalent of newspaper stories set to a monotonous beat. If you objectively compare it to a symphony, or a novel you see it doesn't have much to offer in the way of what you'd expect from art.
3)Education is not the priority it should be. Everyone that grows up in this country has the opportunity to be very well educated. No matter how bad your local schools are, there is a public library nearby. Too often people make the excuse that there's nothing to do but get involved with gangs and crime but they could always go to the library instead.
I'm not sure if I'm making expressing myself clearly enough or just sounding like an asshole. I'm just trying to say that everyone has options and there are a lot of opportunities for a better life if you decide that's what you want. |

I don't even know if that's true. I like a fair amount of meat in my Chinese food, and I hear that's hard to come by in China proper.

I'd be racist to say either culture is better than the other.
It's political correctness gone mad. The whole world's gone to hell in a handcart.

Our Indian is probably not as consistent as the UK and there aren't as many restaurants.
But then I'll bet your Thai can't hold a candle to ours. Even Frank Black sang the praises of it. |

I admit I am a foodist-- Indian and Thai are the supreme foods on Earth.
As for people, I believe they are all different but should have equal rights.
Now back to the food threads... |

Oh I´m definitely morally superior to someone like that ;)
My point stems from I view everybody as equal, there´s no room for superiority or inferiority in this game, even if I do express it in bratty tones sometimes.

I've just been reading all the responces and , to be completely honest, it was so long ago that I posted, I'm unsure what my point was, and I don't even want to re-read my original post as it was probably unclear and/or stupid.
I guess though, what does bother me, is when people say that all cultures are equal and that no culture is any better than another. And when I say culture , I mean the general, ideas, beliefs, artwork, and philosophy of a group of people. |
