It is a result of the Visages' side effects of moving into this dimension, and thus can be built as it is necessary to improve the birth rate of the Visages.Now you can note:


But....you can easily make more..

It's as if you don't know what Google is. Official racial demographics in the US. Also, apparently I was off by approximately ten percent.. Apparently whites make up about 70 percent of the US population rather than 50-60 percent. Official FBI website that has cataloged 2012 crime statistics based on race. 2012 is the earliest year I could find, but I do not anticipate the percentiles to differ much in spite of two years having passed. Poverty/annual income statistics. Basic math yields about 13-14 million persons of white racial background being poverty stricken while 8 or so million persons of black racial background are poverty stricken. Note the skewed ratio.Do you want links that provide support for the belief that America's justice system is beyond fucked up or have you finally come to realize that it's biased against minority groups? Because I'm seriously not looking forward to the Trayvon Martin Thread Antics V2 with you again if that's the case.EDIT: Actually it's anti-male as well but that's an entirely different thread altogether.

This shouldn't even be up for debate.A 13-14 percent racial demographic comprises most of the poor neighborhoods in the US while the 50-60 percent white majority is largely exempt from poverty? That doesn't make sense; it's disproportionate for one. Easy-to-find sources for crime/race/poverty statistics on the internet (government-sanctioned and government-made websites) point to whites committing more crimes than their black counterparts, occupying a larger share of the poverty percentile and being just as likely (if not more so) to commit violent or nonviolent crimes as blacks. As expected, many more whites should be dying from police shootings and significantly more of them should be in jail when compared to their black counterparts. The proportions/ratios and not the solid figures point to a biased police force and justice system. Why are these claims even disputed despite overwhelming evidence provided by the US government itself?


I won't let you say sources exist. Cite them.
I was hoping we'd avoid cariacatures...

It's like you didn't even read the parenthesized material or the post in its entirety.EDIT: Or my post before that one.


Except in order for the Europeans to force them to give slaves, they had to...have had slaves.

It's like you didn't read the article in its entirety.
much like the idea that Africans willingly sold other Africans into slavery


Not according to the rapid white supremacists in the Nigerian government.

You've only proven my point, with no incentive to develop the very helpful wheel any further, they would not have. Thus the long term material impact of colonialism.
So can you make new spires, Sukui?
The desire to move large quantities of stuff over a distance?
2) No, I don't see any benefit whatsoever in European powers coming to Africa. That continent was perfectly fine before European explorers arrived. It will be left to speculation and personal thought experiments as to how African tribes would have progressed without Europe's intervention until mankind invents time machines that somehow avoid the temporal paradox. Pretty skyscrapers and firearms were 'fortunate' byproducts of colonialism (among other things), but that's just it: they're byproducts. They weren't intended at the time. You're implying that African nations absolutely depended on Europe for technical advancement and civilization, which is a global misconception widely held as fact. And ironically, civilization itself is a concrete term wrapped in subjectivity; its underlining definition is forged by those that emerge with victory in hand. If your society and culture do not mimic that of the conqueror's, you're uncivilized. It's a ridiculous logical fallacy and blatant lie reinforced by corrupted historical texts and victor's essays laced throughout American and European history books.


The wheel, Lum.

My primary beef is with history and its persistent impact on my life and the lives of other people like me
