Discipline. Accountability.

Learning right from wrong.[/b]

Many people around the world grow up in poverty but they are not murdering harmless disabled senior citizens as 12 and 13 year old girls.[/quote]

These are aspects of white supremacy.[/quote]

True.

Visit the African-American museum.

The fact is, dads in the home, discipline, accountability, and learning right from wrong, are all aspects of white Supremacy.

Try again.

Explain to me what exactly is "white supremacist" being a good parent?  Family and being good parents is a long standing tradition in Africa going back long before the white man.

What exactly is "white supremacist" about holding people accountable for behaving badly?  That is also a long standing tradition in Africa going back long before the white man.

What exactly is "white supremacist" about knowing right from wrong?  That is also a long standing tradition in Africa going back long before the white man.

Those are not "white supremacist" concepts.  As an example, the West African Empire of Mali had a Constitution and codified civil laws 800 years ago, long before the white man colonized, as a system of accountability and right and wrong.   Elders and griots taught right and wrong and family values.  Tribal circles would hear and adjudicate crimes and allegations in the way that courts and juries do today.  There were many systems in place throughout Africa long before the white man.  It is really strange and frankly displays a bigotry of low expectations for people to suggest those are all purely alien inventions of the white man that were imposed on Africa or that blacks somehow shouldn't be part of it.  The [i]way[/i] that the white man did it was different, but the concepts are not.  [/quote]
