    Well again, you are actually in control of how you react to stimuli. Whether a shit swastika or a post with which you don't agree.

    Also I do not know who D. White Mann is. The AD at Mizzou? Just not close enough to the story.

    I do agree that the President, of anything, is responsible for her or his organization. And that there is no substitute for management by walking around to keep a finger on the pulse of the organization. And listening more than talking.

    To choose to be highly offended by a shit swastika, ands its pitiful creator is letting the idiot win. I would never give him or her that satisfaction by letting him or her upset me.

    I still don't see what all the hullabaloo was about. Was there overt discrimination against black students from participating in campus organizations and activities? Did anybody get lower grades because of the color of their skin? Surely supposedly intelligent college students weren't making a huge mountain out of a molehill because of a few insulting words by a few idiots.

    I should've stated that the logic you posted was certainly sound and makes perfect sense. Just don't believe it applies here.

    European colonialism is the reason why there are a few countries on the continent where the inhabitants aren't running around chopping heads and eating each other.

    Yeah not much has changed, good point, I like the way you referenced history there. Still so similar. Back then there was the slavery, and now one time some dude may have called a guy a mean name, or used the word people don't like. Very similar.

    Have you been to Africa? Any big cities? It's shit. Red is right. Even the countries that have it together are run by fucking idiots who are terribly corrupt.

    You think racism is a thing in the United States, it's nothing compared to Africa. Everyone is in a tribe and they still really care about it and hold it against each other. Like if a city councilman or boss of anything or whatever gets elected, he will go down the line firing the employees from the wrong tribe and hiring his own.

    It has nothing to do with colonialism. Colonialism is what could save Africa.

    I am not a fan of Obama. But if he were president of an African nation he would be smartest least corrupt guy ever to lead anything in Africa by a mile. Africa has no skill whatsoever in choosing leaders. It's tribal or stupid, or corrupt and awful. It's vote for your tribe and hope he gets elected and crushes the other guys. In America our candidates have Ivy League degrees and Rhodes scholarships. In Africa they have oligarch parents or the biggest weapons or must ruthless style.

    Thought about it, but considered the source and thought it was sincere. So no.

    you are nuts if you think colonialism saved Africa, from Egypt to Ethiopia, Africa was on the cutting edge of many inventions and breakthroughs over many subjects in math, science, etc.
    Dont spew that narrative that Europeans had to save Africa.
    The Rwanda genocide is at the feet of European Colonialism, because they told one ethnic class that they had better features and smarter people. 800k people died as a result of bullshit division.

    I see, even when blacks kill each other in Africa it's the white mans fault. Those Hutus and Tutsis must not be very smart if they listened to the euro colonialists and were tricked into killing each other.
