> 1- Nobody should have to embrace European culture. European culture is not superior to any other culture. Don’t be a Eurocentric moron. 

The point was to embrace a culture of family and learning of any kind instead of a white cracker culture. 

> 2- America cannot be racist because of Obama? Are you 5? Things got pretty racist back then with people accusing Obama of being a Muslim terrorist and wanting to see his birth certificate because they didn't even believe that he was American. Also, as soon as his term was over Americans elected a racist fascists that enacted pretty racist policies that made lives of black people harder. 

I think that a Obama becoming president means that black people that apply themselves can do anything. I’m curious what racist policies you believe Trump enacted. I am not a fan of his, but if the Muslim country ban is one, it was specific to countries that were known to be harboring terrorists. The media made it worse than it was. The whole border wall thing was silly in terms of the imagery of an unnecessary literal wall, but the idea of having border policy and protection is important to any sovereign nation. There are racist people in the US, but that doesn’t mean that the system is rigged everywhere.

> 3- What kind of logic is that? Just because some black people do well doesn’t mean that systematic racism doesn’t exist. That is like saying that because some Jewish people didn’t get killed the Holocaust never happened. Or like saying that because some native Americans survived, the American Holocaust didn’t happen.

Systemic racism happened during Jim Crow, but ended  and we all moved on. There are plenty of examples of black people that moved on to generating wealth because their families chose not to have a victim complex and embrace education and work. 

> You keep spewing the same bullshit right wing rhetoric. 

I like to play devil’s advocate. I think many black people do this to themselves. The cycle needs to be broken in > poorer neighborhoods. I think that this requires more education and community activity funding, better community policing practices, and less no strings attached handouts.

> Here is some starter reading material for you about what systematic racism.

I read White Fragility. It was terrible. The concept of the white overlords and privilege only applies when you are in the deep south. There are pockets of racism, but they don’t define the country. Officers need to be better trained, but black neighborhoods need to be policed too. Perhaps if the black neighborhoods were less dangerous, the officers wouldn’t be on edge.

Everyone is feeling the recession. Things costs more and it’s hard to save. This is not a uniquely black thing. 

> [Discriminatory housing practices are leading to the devaluation of Black Americans](https://www.brookings.edu/articles/discriminatory-housing-practices-are-leading-to-the-devaluation-of-black-americans/)

Houses that are expensive are expensive. They are not expensive to deter black people. Not everything is about putting down black people.

Black people commit far more crimes. They should really stop doing that.

This happens because black people tend to be in the wrong place at the wrong time a lot instead of at home with their family or on a family outing or at school or the library, etc. Then they have a victim attitude towards the justice system and fail to work effectively with their attorneys like little stubborn children.

Statistics don’t always tell the whole story. Their could be repeat offenders confounding the data.
