Let's examine your link. It lists Chad as the most culturally diverse country in the world.

55% of Chadians are Muslim, while 40% are Christian. So religious diversity wasn't considered.

How about racial diversity? Here's the breakdown of the major groupings of people in Chad, with a picture showing what they tend to look like.

Thank you for illuminating my point. You saved me having to find examples for you - however you only listed about 10 or so of the different groups but why stop there? Africans all look the same to you?

You want religious diversity - then Singapore is more of a melting pot than the US could ever be.

truthatallcost said:
~ OK, Canada isn't more of a melting pot than the USA is.

'Fraid it is.

truthatallcost said:
~ It sounded like you were only concerned about this issue when black people are involved.

No, I've been enjoying you defending the lack of racial and cultural diversity in Europe. You being one of those posters convinced muslims are taking over Europe and going to outnumber us. I seem to remember you thanking / liking Grunt's posts and any others like him with similar views in the past.

~ Answer this, which of the top 10 populated countries has the highest quality of healthcare? (Not saying that ours couldn't be better)

1. China 1,384,688,986
2. India 1,296,834,042
3. United States 329,256,465
4. Indonesia 262,787,403
5. Brazil 208,846,892
6. Pakistan 207,862,518
7. Nigeria 195,300,343
8. Bangladesh 159,453,001
9. Russia 142,122,776
10. Japan 126,168,156

Well that's illuminating company for the US to be compared with. Obviously the US (without looking) but having seen Nigeria's healthcare first hand I'd be embarrassed for any western European country to be compared to Nigeria for healthcare.

~What 'progress' was made during reconstruction? ****ing over Southerners just because of where they were born? Look at how well that idea worked out after WW1....it lead to a guy named Adolph Hitler.

Great logic, those "Southerners" operated slavery gleefully. Did you complain about their progress when they ran huge slave industries?

Those 10 or so groups are ALL of the major peoples of Chad. The only other categories are 'Other', and 'Unknown', which total 6%.

There is no racial diversity, and very little religious diversity in Chad. That was my point.

You want religious diversity - then Singapore is more of a melting pot than the US could ever be.

I think religious diversity should count towards cultural diversity, as religion is a major part of many people's lives.

No, I've been enjoying you defending the lack of racial and cultural diversity in Europe.

Tell me who decided that it was European's duty to share what they have with people from other parts of the world.

You being one of those posters convinced muslims are taking over Europe and going to outnumber us.

Never said that. Correcting you is becoming my chief function on this thread.

I seem to remember you thanking / liking Grunt's posts and any others like him with similar views in the past.

I barely even remember the poster you're referring to at this point. He must have made an impression on you.

Some did, most didn't. That didn't stop the North from punishing all Southerners after the end of the war.

1% owns all the wealth today, as it was back in the days of slavery. The massive plantations were in the ownership of the 1% who could afford it.

Did you complain about their progress when they ran huge slave industries?

Of course not. It was about 5 generations before my time. But my opinion is that all slavery is very, very wrong. A small minority of men enriched themselves by use of slavery in America, and the majority are still paying for it today.

Wrong.

Rather than go round in circles again, tell me your reference point for religious diversity and how Chad fails to meet this standard. Then, tell me whether you think the USA is a good example of religious diversity (remember this whole thing started with my criticising the failed idea of the US being a melting pot.

truthatallcost said:

Nobody ever argued religion wasn’t one of the small factors that define cultural diversity.

LOL, this was about the melting pot…

truthatallcost said:

Eh, most of your Europe threads are about the dangers of muslim immigration. Love the claim of correcting me – you didn’t know your own history as evidenced by your pathetic attempt to lie about the numbers of states that had slaves.

Like a slug under my foot.

All white southerners benefitted economically from forced labour.

truthatallcost said:

Well, taking away free labour is gonna hurt isn’t it – however that didn’t stop the South bringing in Jim Crow. Blacks had 10 years of reconstruction followed by official Jim Crow until the 1960’s and unnoficial Jim Crow ever since.

truthatallcost said:

True but the whole economy of the South was built on the free labour of unwilling and unpaid slaves. The influence of slavery on the economy was greater than simple numbers of slave owners.

Jim Crow.

Wrong.

Genetic diversity and racial diversity are not the same thing. Of the many groups living in Chad, all would be considered to belong to the negroid race.

Rather than go round in circles again, tell me your reference point for religious diversity and how Chad fails to meet this standard.

Well, I'll borrow your earlier reference, and say that Singapore is one example of am religiously diverse nation. Chad's religious population is divided between only 2 religions, with something like 95% falling into one of the two religious categories, Muslim or Christian.

Then, tell me whether you think the USA is a good example of religious diversity (remember this whole thing started with my criticising the failed idea of the US being a melting pot.

Remember that you are the one arguing the merits of a melting pot society, not I. The United States being a 'good example of a religious melting pot' would not represent a positive attribute in my opinion, just by virtue of religious diversity.

I think the US claims to be 70% Christian, or something to that effect. But living here, I know that a large percentage of those live mostly secular lives, not fundamental Christian ones.

Nobody ever argued religion wasn’t one of the small factors that define cultural diversity.

I wouldn't assume that religion plays a small cultural role in Chad, however. My guess is that it plays a pretty substantial role.

Eh, most of your Europe threads are about the dangers of muslim immigration. Love the claim of correcting me – you didn’t know your own history as evidenced by your pathetic attempt to lie about the numbers of states that had slaves.

At the start of the Civil War, there were 34 states in the United States, 15 of which were slave states. Of these, 11 slave states declared their secession from the United States to form the Confederacy.[/quote]

44%. My mistake. Your mistake was greater however; the financial benefits of slavery to the country died out long ago, as in 150 years ago. Unless you're Methuselah, I don't think you remember a time when slavery was any kind of vital asset to the American economy.

Also, please keep in mind that British slave owners were still reaping financial rewards from slavery, almost to the period of the American Civil War:

In 1854 Nathaniel Isaacs, owner of the island of Matakong off the coast of Sierra Leone was accused of slave-trading by the governor of Sierra Leone, Sir Arthur Kennedy. Isaacs was born in Canterbury, England into a Jewish family.

That's like saying, "all black people benefit from welfare". A stupid claim, impossible to prove.

Jim Crow laws mandated segregation by race, much as I alluded to earlier when I asked you (but received no response) if people in the UK usually tend to congregate along racial and religious similarities, such as blacks, whites, Asians, etc. The " unofficial Jim Crow" you speak of, also kind of describes the British Pakistani community, doesn't it? Yet their living situations are their own choosing, so maybe people are naturally inclined to want to live amongst people with whom they share certain attributes.

True but the whole economy of the South was built on the free labour of unwilling and unpaid slaves. The influence of slavery on the economy was greater than simple numbers of slave owners.

Perhaps it was, but do you know anything about the South of today? Ever been there? Trust me, no signs of it's slavery-era opulence still exists to any great extent. There are some very nice areas, and some places I'd never want to visit again. Slavery's financial contribution to the south is long gone.

Not with literally double the popularity rating. The AfD are nothing but Neo-Nazis.

Just their brief moment in the sun.

They are serving a part of the population who are presently dissatisfied. It is difficult to understand why - Germany has the one of the lowest unemployment rates in Europe.

Give them a year or two, and they too will be forgotten history ...

Anything to avoid acknowledging science. You’ve tried 4 times to avoid this and failed 4 times. Chad is made up of peoples who include black / European / arab and other DNA which shows the confluence of historic travel and conquest. Like I said to you in a previous post – are you one of those with the idiotic view that all black people look alike?

Do you even read and understand what I say?

Have you borrowed your tactics from the Bugs Bunny school of debate? I am arguing the US is not the melting pot society many claim.

Addresses nothing I said.

Of many.

That’s a vapid argument if you’re arguing that historic financial gain and industrial background suddenly vanished.

truthatallcost said:

I’m not going to make this about them “ebil Joos,” that’s your decision. I’m well aware of the benefits of slavery on the development of the UK and Europe. I’m not the one pretending there was no benefit or that it’s gone.

truthatallcost said:
~ That's like saying, "all black people benefit from welfare". A stupid claim, impossible to prove.

No it’s not. White Southerners were saved from doing that hard menial work and your large planation owners added to the economy. Economics 101. Anyhow, you have to have a really shallow understanding of your own history to think slavery and the economic benefit of slavery was limited to plantation owners. How many years was a slave owner President of the US? How many US presidents in this period who won re election were NOT slave owners?

truthatallcost said:
~ Jim Crow laws mandated segregation by race, much as I alluded to earlier when I asked you (but received no response) if people in the UK usually tend to congregate along racial and religious similarities, such as blacks, whites, Asians, etc.

I see you have no idea of the difference between free choice and legal restriction.

truthatallcost said:
~ Perhaps it was, but do you know anything about the South of today? Ever been there?

I have no desire to go anywhere near the South.

truthatallcost said:
~ Trust me, no signs of it's slavery-era opulence still exists to any great extent. There are some very nice areas, and some places I'd never want to visit again. Slavery's financial contribution to the south is long gone.

No it’s not. That’s like arguing Leopold’s megastructures in Belgium have disappeared. His gains from slavery are easier to spot than White Southern America but they are still the same thing. The benefits of American slavery built and financed industry, Presidential campaigns, shipping and industrial development.
