Why Are There No Black Men on Argentina's Roster?
http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/rachel-dec ... 71761.html
The article is too long to post here I was almost in tears after reading it. Argentina is more racists than Russia.
"The 2010 census puts the Afro-Argentine population at 150,000, or less than half of one per cent.
How did the Africans disappear?
Although slavery was abolished in Argentina in 1813, many Afro-Argentines were still held as slaves. Emancipation was promised to those who would fight in Argentina's wars. Most African men signed up with hopes of winning their freedom. They were sent to the front lines. Most perished while fighting for a country that did not recognize their rights or humanity."

I was hoping that the link above will discount everything the other one says au contraire it confirmed the previous one in a less violent language.soothsayer wrote:http://www.ibtimes.com/blackout-how-arg ... ce-1289381

Re: Why Are There No Black Men on Argentina's Roster?
Why are we taking other peoples problems when we haven't even resolved ours...
both football wise and economically
Brazil are full of blacks but still are placed on bottom heap. Truth of the matter is
if Africa ever gets its act together a large number of these countries will not have
any blacks left, their suffering only reflect our failure to create a haven for blacks
to flee too. Something that USA did successfully during the world war 1 and 2.
Any time I read articles like this, I don't think of what evil some whites have done, I get
embarrassed about what Africans with their own states have failed to do in the present!
Even if we got our football right we would have these guys naturalizing...

Argentina from what I heard killed a lot of blacks during their earlier yrs of civilization and even into their independence. I think most of their blacks probably ran off into Brazil and made it home. Up till today Argentina is still a very racist country by German or by Spain's lofty racist standards !!

Joplass, this link is exactly why the one you had in the original post is rubbish. The woman says very little and adds little to the discourse. It was a topic that based on its title promised much but delivered little.soothsayer wrote:http://www.ibtimes.com/blackout-how-arg ... ce-1289381

Re: Why Are There No Black Men on Argentina's Roster?
This is not new. Blacks in the diaspora generally are treated like garbage. The question is, what are Africans from the continent doing about this? Have we made our countries suitable to live in to the point that most blacks all over the world would want to emigrate back to the motherland so as to flee persecution from the countries of their births? Sadly, the answer to that is a big fat no.

What some of you guys are ignoring is the role that the IMF, World bank and the UN play in keeping the continent of Africa undeveloped. A good documentary to watch is 'Life and Debt', this will give you a good insight into the role these global organisations and financial institutions play in crippling third world countries. However, this is not an excuse to absolve blame from corrupt government regimes that have contributed to the overall mess of Africa, but still remains a legitimate reason for our struggle and plight as a nation, people and continent.

Another good one is "the Economic hitman". It will go as far as explaining even Boko Haram to a great extent.

Germany is worse than Argentina when it comes to race relations
make peaceful change impossible make violent change inevitable.
"It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is. If the--if he--if 'is' means is and never has been, that is not--that is one thing. If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement....Now, if someone had asked me on that day, are you having any kind of sexual relations with Ms. Lewinsky, that is, asked me a question in the present tense, I would have said no. And it would have been completely true."

Re: Why Are There No Black Men on Argentina's Roster?
Are you suggesting that Germany and Spain set the standard for racism in Europe or the world? There is racism everywhere, even in those countries scapegoating fellow racist countries (using the plight of black people to score points against each other). Europe is generally a racist place, although some are more subtle than others.kash n' karry wrote:

The fact that Brazil allows black people on its national team does not mean that black people are not discriminated against in society. An African teacher in Brazil recently told the BBC that he was frequently called a monkey on the streets...

Exactly! Most of the world's most racist/fascist criminals ran from Germany and Italy to settle in Argentina.Bigpokey24 wrote:Dafty, go and read where the war criminals from Germany ran off too..open your eyesfemibyte wrote:This is one reason why I'm rooting slightly for Germany tomorrow...
