How come there aren't as many Successful Black people in the U.S?
 

Canada Has tons more. And when I ask my Black buddies if they could have done it in the U.S they say, 'It's tough'
I thought the civil rights movement gave equal rights to all.

Thanks for backing up your claim with some proof.

if there are successful black people in Canada they dont live near me

How exactly would your buddies know how tough it would have been in the States?

Just open your eyes

Yeah, because of course that's accurate.

"Opening eyes" is what leads to rumors and false information. Rely on facts, not what one man sees.

By Traveling, Talking to friends that live in parts. Quit easily.

You have got to be kidding me.

Good point.
I'll share my last experinces:
This morning when i saw the news the NYSE opened and had a Company of executives. All white.
My last visit to DC. In the Business part of town. Not one Black person in a suit. But cleaning the streets or at the front desk.

define sucess

cuz they are all in jail prob?

It is hard for anyone to be truly successful in the US. It is a very competitive nation, and blacks have built up a rather compaciant attitude with regards to their situation.

Yup, there's some conclusive research :1orglaugh

I heard Canadians are pretty racist.
My indian friend said he was harassed in Toronto just for stepping out of his van.

Two Words.... Def Jam!!!!

Russle Simmons is huge..

what does it take to move to canada ? I live in europe now and want to move to canada , is it hard ?

Black athletes alone in the states out weigh the successfull blacks in Canada

Yes, based on your friends experience, I will have to agree that Canadians are in fact the most racist people in the history of the world.

Fairly difficult, yes. Having a University Degree or a big pile of money will go a long way towards helping though. :2 cents:

GFY Donkey thread of the week for sure. Your buddy should work for a political party, with this kind of research he will be a huge success:thumbsup

Any black person who wants to work hard and get decent grades can get a good scholarship all the way through graduate school and get land an excelent job afterwards.

The opportunities are there, they often just do not take them. I have a black friend who does most of his business on the internet and he makes several hundred thousand a year. Why can't more of them do this? After all, there is no excuse of racism because people cannot tell what color you are online.

that sux !! !

That shows right there that you don't know what you're talking about. What was the "business part of town"? I know if you go on 18th and K, the BUSIEST intersection in downtown DC, and you'll see PLENTY of black people in suits, men and women...I worked on 17th and H so I would know...And I'm black AND successful.

Being Black offers advantages that other people with the same capabilities and skills aren't receiving, particularly in education, due to the affirmative action family of laws. So whatever you are trying to achieve, I hope laying a guilt trip on Whites isn't part of it, because that would be injustified.

The US has like 55 times the number of black people than Canada does. Yeah, I'm so sure Canada has TONS more successful black people than the US.

I don't see where you get that information ...

Between the NFl, NBA and MLB, rappers and comics I'd say there are plenty of rich niggas. Not to mention all the rich drug dealers and pimps.

because in the usa they would rather bitch about shit not being fair and think everyones out to get them. theres alot of reverse racism !

im feeling you 100% i have to pay for somthing they dont! i feel this is bullshit like i said reverse racism.

Oprah

Bill Clinton did ok for himself as well.

You can say the same thing about women, can't you?

Yet oddly when I look back over my past every job I've had there was a woman in charge of me, making more than me.

Bullshit. I have to pay for college and i'm black and both my parents are broke.

I even have a few white/asian friends who are going to school for free at a black college.

The shit works both ways. Don't believe all the shit that you watch on the news because the majority of it is made just to stir people up and fill a time slot.

:error

i dont see any successful black ppl in canada

de white man be holdin duh brudha down

What does any of this have to do with the fact that there exists a multitude of very different programs to get more Blacks specifically into higher education, while the number of such programs aiming for Whites or Asians is nil?
