Profiting from pain

Okay, I was having a discussion with a friend of mine, and he said that white folks are the only race that can profit from pain, and get away with it....

ex.
1.cigarettes/tobacco products
2.alcohol (Kenndey's were bootleggers)
3.guns (war profiteers)

these are a few examples. Now with the way most folks here respond to my posts, I can expect some sarcasm, and reverse racism accusations to fly, but this is a KNOWN fact.

your thoughts

Black people can sell those same things.

I myself know of a few black drug dealers (as well as white ones). While some drugs are largely harmless (Marijuana), others can cause the user a great deal of pain throughout the course of use.

Nice try bro.

This is a joke right?

Number 3 is kind of stupid to say, because there are many, many African war lords who make a lot of profit by selling weapons, or essentially acting as ad-hoc mercenaries.

I fail to see the connection between any of the examples you give and "the white man".

Please explain to me the difference between you (or your friend) making these claims and someone else saying that black folks are intellectually inferior to every other race, because its a KNOWN fact. Because in my opinion, both are textbook examples of racism.

I understand that there are many African warlords selling weapons, but who do they get the weapons from?

If you feel as though we are inferior, than so be it. That's just your insecurities saying that. It's easy for people to point out what is lacking within the black community, but it seems to me tragic that some people take offense to facts.

And to your statement about blacks being inferior, I guess we would be inferior with inferior textbooks, and curriculums. This is the part that many folks who are "fortunate" enough to recieve an "adequate education" growing up.

Black people do all that stuff. You are racist.
