    This whole economy is shaped toward the disadvantage of Africans. It's rare that anything that you do within this economy can benefit Africans. You must conflate individual success with group success--that's what survival of the fittest means. Europeans operate on "natural law." That's why some thinkers lecture us on our lack of philosophy therein.

    This is true. You and I concur on this point.
    Let me reiterate the title of my thread again: The Conquest Theory of the State.

    On this point, you and I concur again.
    I would like to recommend that you read Our Enemy the State by Albert J. Nock.
    I think you will find that you and I agree on more points than we disagree.

    For long term, this is very true.
    Again, we are in agreement.

    I agree with this to a point.
    I would say Europeans attorn "natural law" into something that more suits their purposes of ruler-ship and control of a given area via State power.

    This isn't all Europeans. Just those who are of the elite of a given time period.

    Sorry. Sometimes when you like someone you just talk. You know? :)

    I'll get out of you hair. But you know--actually, I know that you would agree with me on many points, since the truth is rarely disagreeable between Africans and when either of us speak truth we agree.

    But our fundamental difference is actually a large, large one. You believe that the European has something worth saying and I do not.

    We have a different upbringing I guess. I hung with the smartest Europeans and found them to be dunces. That's my upbringing. B-) Maybe you just don't care to measure them. :)

    You aren't in my hair. This is a discussion. Debate and discuss away.

    Europeans have much Nubians can learn about and from, in my opinion.
    Don't throw out the baby with the bath water. Knowledge is knowledge. Truth is truth no matter the source or from whom it comes.

    This is a fallacy of false implication by suggestion and, in my opinion, is irrelevant to supporting your position.
