Free labor is FREE LABOR. Black people were forced, whether or not africans sold them(please don't go there). White people, alot of YOUR ancestors STOLE labor, nothing you say will change that fact, they got rich and white families benefited.

Americas export of cotton and other slave harvested materials helped create a successful american economy.

ALL I am asking, to those who call Black people lazy, is how can I be lazy in your eyes when you KNOW black people contributed generations of FREE labor for the good of this country?

Would we call asians dumb with all of the science and medicine they have contributed?

Would we say jews are spiritually void when we know they brought us the bible?

If you don't think black people are lazy, don't answer...

There is an old adage: "it's easy to be virtuous in a convent". If blacks worked like that 200 years ago, it was because they were being compelled to do so. It wasn't of their free choice.

If you go to Egypt, you're not going to exclaim, "Wow, these people are so energetic and productive!" However, an Egyptian would bristle at the notion that he is anything less than his distant ancestors who built the pyramids. One big concept is lost on them: modern day Egyptians can't build the pyramids. Even if they were provided the technology, I doubt they could drum up the enthusiasm and determination to complete the task.

Now, I am not saying black people are lazy, although from my own experience I have worked with some very lazy black people. Having said that, I have also worked with some incredibly lazy white people. No one has a lock on laziness.

Now the black community has a bright, shining star as their role model: Condaleezza Rice. If she consents to accept the Republican nomination, I think she will have a lock on the Presidency.

The IQ test score difference between whites and blacks is closing. A few years ago, the difference was over 10 points, now it's just 10 points. There are blacks with high IQs out there, trust me - many. My own IQ is 136, and I am black African. Every nation falls and rises. Maybe not this year, or the next decade, or even for another hundred years but America *will* fall, just like every other great nation. There will be new superpowers, and the likelihood of it being somewhere in Africa is just as plausible as it being a European or Asian country. Time will only tell.

Everyone in America in the early days contributed something in the making of a "super" country.
Immigrants (jncluding the whites cause they immigrants too) constructed the roads and building and market.
However the ones of minority races were doing the dirty work.( low low wages long hours,racism, !)
masters or those with ancentries from 1700s in america ( colonists) were leaving all the illegal work loads and corruption to the poor or of minority races!

Everyone was participated in this for the ultimate goal- the american dream

then blacks worked for their free rights.
who else would want to face the "colonist generation people" with no violence according to gandhi ( INDIA)
they worked hard to achieve goals, gain rights, reduce racism, end segregaton, and earn the right as an american citizens.

******now anyone can be lazy
and many people can be hard workerS!*******
in all races.

Do not fall into the trap of hate .......people that right trash about any race black , white , or what ever , They are ignorant. When you respond the way you did, it just pushes everyone further apart .Yes white people owned slaves . Yes it was wrong. White people also went to war against there families to stop slavery. Try to be apart of peace . remember in gods eyes we are all brothers and sisters and until people embrace our different back grounds, colors,,,etc.. then we will not find peace. God bless.

that is an absurd generalization just as it is saying latin immigrants are taking other's jobs. There are lazy people everywhere, and so are hard working ones.
