This is the result of political correctness doctrine.....

continue to judge me based on your biased perception of me as you will, just one more person on here I don't need to respond to. bye now

Folks have lost the ability to engage, without taking opposition and challenge, personally.......

This weakness is what spawns demonstrations, revolts, riots, intolerance., in many folks.

Like a caged animal, they default to a survival instinct.

When I shared expectations are premeditated resentments

This is a classic example of what that mindset, and reasoning, looks like.

I am not saying this person would, I hope not, but some might withdraw, and seclude to a point that reality becomes muddled and lost....
Despair begins to gnaw away at any sanity they have, with acting out, the only means to repair, or escape, what (they) believed left, in their life/world.
 
Lots of evidence to this fact in the news lately, sadly.

As little boys we use to take our ball and go home, if they called a strike, a strike, on us..... rejection hurt deeply.

Hopefully, we learned to accept life, on life, terms, and used our so called failures, to build upon our weaknesses, becoming a person strong enough, to help support others, who might need our help, through "engaging" in challenges (sports)  to our selves.....
We overcame that deficit.

Having the umpire call it a ball, because he wants to be "fair" so I don't cry, from striking out, is a great disservice to me, and a cop-out on HIS responsibilities, of the "rule of law," about the flow of life and building character, etc.....  

Anyway, guys, how wide spread is it, I dunno, but remember, those who gallop around in this forum, remember, you can lead a horse to water, you can't make it drink, for if you too entertain that expectation  .....

What is logic?

Let’s see,
‘formalylostartest’ said:
“… the way Texans act… they think they are their own special breed so might as well be…”

And that is  Perfectly, All Right !!!!!!!!

Yet when someone says:
“I told him I would, but that you would not get it....."

You say:
“…There you are making your assumptions about me there. That I am inferior and wouldn’t get it….”

I see.
 Some, ’Special’, people can,
      and others can not.

Look.....water.

You wanna drink?

It's up to you. I won't argue, either way.

Why are people so afraid of what is obvious?
How many THOUSAND years has south Africa been populated?
Why aren't they a manufacturing powerhouse?
Where are the medical marvels?
Where are the Boeing equivalent manufacturing plants?
Where are the glorious societies?

well, while the rest of the world was becoming industrial during the industrial revolution, they were still colonized by Europeans

So while America and Europe  were developing their own laws and governments to accommodate economic growth, Africa was being controlled by white people and African natural resources were being exported to profit white people.  Diamonds, mined in Africa, controlled by a European company to this day. They signed really bad deals to get their freedom, selling their oil and other natural resources for really bad deals.  

so yes, they are behind. A LOT of Africa didn't even have their independence until the 1960's and some nations in Africa weren't independent until 1976....  

So if you are going to place blame, isn't it appropriate to blame their leadership?  
And yes, their current black leadership isn't doing well in a lot of places. They don't want to follow the European colonizers examples for obvious reasons, they aren't learning to take the good but leave the bad, they are, in some cases, resorting to baser natures of humanity.

Yes, for the most part, it's a mess right now. White people, mainly Europeans, plundered the African Continent and made themselves rich, and some individual corporations are still doing it to this day.

To be clear, I'm not justifying any of the evils that have happened under Black leadership there.

Yes there are a lot of problems there, but let's not forget history, history has consequences.  

Edit:
Also, these aren't the only issued with Africa, yes history has consequences but so does their own internal corruption and greed. There are many other factors as well, I am not an expert on anything, let alone Africa, but this is just a cursory glance at what might be part of the problem, along with several other issues that I'm ignorant of.

idk man,

but during the formative years of gun manufacturing Africa was being pillaged and plundered and sold into slavery.  I'm sure they fought back to some extent, but like the Native Americans here, they were outgunned.  

I guess you'd have to look to see where they were way back in the bronze age and iron age and all that. Have fun researching.

Are you changing the subject? aren't there like 100s of thrreads on here about gun control already? You just started a new one, is this suddenly the Gun Control tall table,or the abortion tall table???

seems like everything devolves into those two issues here
