PORT-AU-PRINCE (Reuters) – U.S. civil rights leader Jesse Jackson called for urgent debt relief for Haiti on Tuesday to ease the burden of a food crisis that sparked violent protests in the impoverished Caribbean nation earlier this month.
Jackson said Haiti owed the World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank about $1.5 billion, with debt service payments reaching some $70 million a year.
The cycle never ends. When blacks – individuals and countries – want to borrow money, they scream that it’s unfair and racist to say that they won’t be able to pay back.
As soon as they get the money, they immediately declare themselves unable to pay back the debt and demand debt forgiveness.
The stupid white men forgive the debt.
Blacks then turn around and demand more loans, while claiming that any thought that they may not be good borrowers is racist.
The cycle never ends.
But the fault here is not with blacks. If I knew a fool who would loan me money, then let me not pay back and lend me more, I’d take advantage of him just as much as blacks do with white men.
The Stupid White Men in power need to learn their lesson for once. I guess the threat that they may get accused of racism makes them panic to the point where they can’t remember anything, no matter how recent.

It is more complex than the way you have described it. Most white folks are motivated by a fairly high degree of compassion and willing to make loans knowing full well that they will probably not be repaid. These are not loas made in ignorance.
It is something of a dilemma as to how to help people. If you simply make them a gift and treat them as children, you do nothing to foster their own maturity and independence. If you make them a loan and tell them that the loan is to be repaid, the hope is that this will cause them to act in a mature way and secure their own future and be in a position to repay the loan as well. That is the theory. With many, probably most third world cultures, it just does not work out that way. Instead, we get the predictable situation where they are groaning about this horrible burden of debt.
So we are back to where we started. How to help people is not a simple question. It is a question that has engaged some very good minds over the centuries, and there has been very limited success in coming up with answers for helping really different types of people (by different types of people I mean other races and very alien cultures). It is a tough problem, but one that compassion has forced us to consider.
But isn’t this white compassion -demonstrated by a deep desire to help the foreign poor- an Achiles tendon for whites? It is one thing that bebe a double edged daggar. It might well be argued this noble and compassionate sacrifice makes us a better people…. but at the same time , even knowingly loaning with no real expectation of repayment, is kind of dumb, isn’t it?
Why expend so much energy finding ways to better the lives of a people that will never grow up? Why spend so much money on a people that will only keep overpopulating and pressing in to the few remaining white majority and prosperous lands, only to outpopulate us miscogenate in our few remaining nations?? Why promote their welfare so that they can denegrate and destroy us??
If current population and immigration trends continue, The U.S. will be majority non-white by 2050, and well before 2100 there will not be one nation left on earth with a white majority.
Do you really think they will stand for whites making up any majorities in banking, corporate governance, or in political leadership? NO! They will take every vestage of power from the compassionate but “Racist” whites.
When we are no longer a power in any way in this world, who will help the welchers then? When the compassionate and hardworking heritage folks are in the minority, do you think there will be Affirmitave Action for them, or is it more likely that the Hation, and Mexican types of people will discrinate against us and attack and murder us as is the case in present day South Africa???
Dave, it you read all of what I said, you see there the part about, “It is something of a dilemma as to how to help people.” I am well aware of all the things that you say, but I repeat what I said previously, most white folks are motivated by a fairly high degree of compassion and are therefore going to seek to find a way to help. This leads to my previous closing statement, “It is a tough problem, but one that compassion has forced us to consider.”
None of the arguments that you offered change the fact that most white people are motivated by compassion and will seek to help. They simply point to the fact that in seeking to help we have difficulty in avoiding our own annihilation along the way. That is one of the major parts of what makes it such a tough problem, but it does not change the nature of the situation.
Dr. D,
I know why whites support blacks. I was just explaining black thinking here. They realize that they don’t have to worry about paying back loans, so there’s no fear in them nor even a question about how they’ll pay it off.
The West’s commercial banks lend the money because their bought and paid for politicians write laws that transfer said loans’ default risks to the taxpayers while directing any profits – e.g., interest and principle payments – back to the commercial banks.
