Whites experience lower rates of crime victimization than blacks in SA. The notion theyre being genocided is literal white nationalist propoganda lol.
Pay attention. No one is denying racism exists and racism is obviously a problem. Itās the premise of the OP that conservatives deny its existence thatās being challenged.
Also, the idea that the West is some racist cesspool leading the way when it comes to oppression when the West has objectively led the way when it comes to tolerance, diversity and freedom.
Iām sure that will attract white immigrants in droves.

To its own detriment. Sometimes the pendulum swings too far and takes awhile to settle in the middle.

Howdy from the Twin Cities (suburbs).
Like I stated its not the color of the skin is the culture. Could it be genetic? I dunno, we are deviating from ādenial on behalf of right wingersā to causation of criminal statistics.
Geneticsā¦ who knows. ātypical American black still scores below 75 percent of American whites on almost every standardized testā
āwhen black or mixed-race children are raised in white rather than black homes, their pre-adolescent test scores rise dramaticallyā
āCultural differences associated with chronic poverty may account for some of the black-white test score gap, but they cannot be the main explanation, since the gap persists among affluent black childrenā
Its also of note that Black American children were raised by one parent 67% of the time in the latest data versus 24% for white. What bothers me is the BLM manifestos admonishes the nuclear family. Wellā¦ see what that gets ya?
You asked for reasons so Iām giving you facts to draw your own conclusion. But to answer your original questions. Iāll care more about racism and improvements as such when those proclaimed targets change the culture to help themselves first.

The west was burning christians who didnāt believe in the trinity at the stake and killing jews in pogroms when Salahudin was allowing them to settle in the caliphate and practise their religion. The west tells itself comfortable lies.
The guy who wrote clash of civilizations William Huntington famously said ; āThe west has convinced itself it won due to high minded virtue, when in reality it won the war for global hegemony by being the most violent society on the world stage and being open to genocide and slavery wherever the opportunity for expansion presented itself, this we may have forgotten, but the rest of the world certainly has notā.
Do we compare statistics of Christians and Jews then? I canāt answer general posts about your feelings. Pretty sure Iām done here either way. I gave you a direct answer above and supported all my statements with statistics.
Who said they were?
I said met a guy from SA who told me itās time for whites to leave the country.
Even though you can read that in western books. And it says something when you need to go back a thousand years to find something horrible. Also, letās not pretend the Muslims weārent killing and enslaving.

Are blacks better at sports because of genetics or socioeconomic reasons? Lol

It seems to me you want something done about that. What exactly do you propose?
Iām not a Western man but I was born here and choose to stay here. I donāt complain about the West. What Iāve railed against is whatās being done to Western Civilization. Though Iām not Western, I admire all that was great about and the remaining great traces of elements of the West: art, philosophy, institutions, music, architecture, science, and so on. And truthfully, I donāt feel bad about āfirst world problemsā.
I also donāt pester my white friends or wife or her family members because they might possibly have some distantly-related German, Slavic, or English great-great-great-plus granddaddies who were mean to Jews.
You seem to dislike the West. If so, why do choose to reside in it? I donāt get it.
This isnāt exactly true. Perhaps some blacks of West African descent are better at some sports like sprinting but not distance running like East Africans.
And now you have extremists all over the Middle East.
Youāre referencing history as if itās a current event again. Have you built your Time Machine yet?
Have you taken an objective look at the state of things today in the āwestā vs the Middle East? Genocide, slavery, harsh punishment (hands cut off for theft, stoned to death for personal slights et cetera), murder due to sexuality by throwing people off of tall buildings, slavery, sex slavery et cetera all still occur in one of them.
Now is your chance to make a timely and relevant difference! Start fighting the good fight where it currently lives.
I believe we both know the answer but I will also offer an expansion. I believe part of it is indeed culture again. Music, dancing, entertainment, and sports seem to be championed rather than academics and achievement. I would like to see more people, all people, putting emphasis on that and celebrating men like Neil Degrasse Tyson. Instead we hear about the opinions of Lebron James.

Famously stupid and uneducated. Maybe he should have read history instead of writing about it.

Whatās wrong with Lebron James? Heās a good role model.
How so? What makes him qualified to comment on world issues, kneeling for the anthem, politics etc. He does so all the time though.
Achievement?
There is achievement in music, dancing, entertainment and sports.
What do you mean by academics? What specifically? Is there no learning involved in music, dancing, entertainment, and sports?
What makes you qualified midget?
Heās allowed to speak his mind like any other human being.
