Sure but you have to admit there are countries with majority black which can be successful. What is funy is when some ppl want to say that the only reason they are succesful is because they were former colonieswhen theat did not help Jamaica or most of Africa... Bud2400 Posted at 9:44 pm on Nov. 28, 2008 Quote: from colapopx17 at 11:13 pm on Nov. 27, 2008 what about Jamaica? To be honest, Jamaica isn't a very successful country.  The living standards of its inhabitants isn't that great.  It might be a great tourist destination, and everything you'd see as a tourist might be nice, but if you ever venture beyond that, you'll notice poverty on a much wider scale. Quote: from minnie38 at 11:15 pm on Nov. 27, 2008 Ethiopia is kinda successful Not so much today, but historically for sure.  During the late 19th century, Ethiopia was well on its way to industrializing its economy and modernizing itself sort of on the scale that Turkey did after WWI.  Had it not been for the Italians who invaded Ethiopia during the turn of the century, and again just prior to WWII (who destroyed a lot and killed many Ethiopians), Ethiopia would be in a much better position today, although I'm sure with the rest of Sub-Saharan Africa having fallen apart during the decolonization process, the debt crisis, and with the AIDS breakout, it would have been held back considerably regardless (but at least among the more well off African nations). jakelong Posted at 7:54 pm on Nov. 28, 2008 Espcially when they can get more for the buck from  immigrants kidd rune Posted at 7:19 pm on Nov. 28, 2008 Still pretty much kills the idea that whites are the only ones that can run a country successfully. Whites suck at running countries nowadays - they can't seem to close their immigration borders.

Trying to take up the WN banner? lol, What? jakelong Posted at 5:23 pm on Nov. 28, 2008 Didn't say they were. I was looking at some other country that was majority black. Still pretty much kills the idea that whites are the only ones that can run a country successfully. What's eating you anyway? Trying to take up the WN banner?

Lol, so just because they are mixed that makes them ALL black? lol jakelong Posted at 5:18 pm on Nov. 28, 2008 LOL oh yeah that right it means they have NO race... Forgot My Name Posted at 5:17 pm on Nov. 28, 2008 Quote: from jakelong at 5:16 pm on Nov. 28, 2008 It is majority black. I don't see why you have to argue about it all. Cayman Islands Population:   47,862 Ethnic groups:   mixed 40%, white 20%, black 20%, expatriates of various ethnic groups 20% GDP - per capita (PPP):   $43,800 (2004 est.) How the fuck is that majority black? 40% mixed doesn't mean it is black. jakelong Posted at 5:16 pm on Nov. 28, 2008 It is majority black. I don't see why you have to argue about it all. Forgot My Name Posted at 5:13 pm on Nov. 28, 2008 Quote: from jakelong at 5:11 pm on Nov. 28, 2008 And not the Bahamas or the British Virgin Island? I really don't feel like looking up more statistics. I just said Cayman Islands weren't black. The OP should have looked at the Statistics before he said it was a black country. jakelong Posted at 5:11 pm on Nov. 28, 2008 And not the Bahamas or the British Virgin Island? Forgot My Name Posted at 5:10 pm on Nov. 28, 2008 Quote: from jakelong at 5:07 pm on Nov. 28, 2008 Is Haiti or Jamaica a black country? About 95% of Haitians are of predominantly of Afro-Carribean, Afro-Latino descent. Jamaica's population mainly consists of people of African and Afro-European descent, comprising 85% of the demographics. Yes, I would say so. jakelong Posted at 5:07 pm on Nov. 28, 2008 Is Haiti or Jamaica a black country?

That is what I am saying. Most recent 15 of 43 previous replies displayed.
