So why aren't blacks fleeing the US to live the good life in Africa?

European colonialism destroyed Africa. What exactly is there to flee to? They got fucked in Africa, they got fucked in the United States. Damned if they do, damned if they dont.

Funny how he uses things that are completely relative to make his point.
What is easier (or better for that matter), eating berries off a bush and a fish out of the river, or driving my SUV to the grocery store?
Its all relative. And thats the point.

Cultural relativism and multi-culturalism are two different issues - and I read the paragraph - thorougly - his assertion that immigration in any way invalidates the ethical position of cultural relativism is patently absurd. He would be laughed out of any APA/RPA meeting immediately.
Cultural relativism is an incredibly weak ethical position but his means of "refutation" are foolish & amateur at best.

Who the fuck said it was superior? Not superior, different. It worked for them for a couple hundred thousand years. Yeah, those god damn hunter gatherers really stood a chance. Their culture did not need to develop along the same lines as the Europeans, the Chinese, the Native Americans, etc etc. Everyone evolves to fill their niche.
For example, you fill the fat ignorant prostitute fucker niche quite well.

Is that relative, you fucking idiot?

All a result of colonialization.
Mass death and disease are cultural attributes? Are you that fucking stupid?

Immigration is not a barometer of cultural superiority?
Why aren't the rich in America fighting to win a place in jail, instead of hiring expensive lawyers to keep them out of jail, since it's all relative and jail is not inferior to being a billionaire CEO?

Look at all the human beings flocking back to live the hunter/gatherer lifestyle!
The half-wit brainwashed diptshit uneducated leftard niche is already overflowing, but for some reason you're staying in it.

That's funny, I didn't see him mention anything about SUVs.
I also didn't see him talk about anything relative, but rather the widely accepted basics of living.
I'm sure that you, Labret, would rather see all blacks still living in these types of conditions:
It probably fits in perfectly with your "I am superior" attitude.
Quite frankly, I doubt there are any blacks in America who would rather live in a bug-infested, windy hut in the middle of the mud.
Amazingly enough that there IS mud, even... at least that means there's water.

You do realize that Africa is a large continent and has environments ranging from desert to jungle right?

Please move there!

Very interesting article in NG a few months ago regarding this. Seems almost all the farms have gone to seed after they were taken from the whites and given to the blacks and the blacks are trying to hire to the whites to come back and work for them and get the farms to produce again. It wasn't the blacks fault - they had ZERO experience in farming land. Sad.

It is such a horrific idea that we have game shows that revolve around it, Survivor. Where we all take joy in watching the average American reduced to a starving babbling idiot. And that is with giving them tools and food rewards.

Americans adapt. Also, our culture is such that we don't have to be hunter/getherers. That's an example of the idiocy of cultural relativism.

Explain how its an example.

The people on those shows are not "average Americans." The people on those shows are jackasses competing for cash prizes.
The average American lives in the bask of his superior culture which ensures him protection against starvation (like in Africa) or poverty (like in Asia, Africa, and most of Europe).

I will do this slowly...so you can possibly understand it. This person asserts that cultural relativism is flawed on the basis of immigration to the US and as a result of that immigration, the US is morally superior.
Cultural relativism cannot be refuted by the immigration patterns of relatively few individuals - it simply asserts, that which the majority of any given society, at any given time, determine be right or wrong is based solely on the majority of that society's determination. Nothing else.
There is no way to refute this position based on immigration, unless this individual is privy to enough data to demonstrate at least in someway, the majority of individuals in any given society disagree with the moral mandates of that society and seek to emmigrate to the US based on that factor, his position is absolutely flawed. Even then, his position would not hold. He is using an idiotic anecdotal inference to justify a universal position; namely the US is morally superior...his premise is beyond justification or even salvaging...therefor, the conclusion does not follow.
People move to australia, GB, mexico, canada, taiwan, thailand, eastern europe, etc., their motivations are not all similart, just as those who move to the US - there is no tandem to be found - the position is for the cognitively flawed to swallow.
read it slooooowly.
best of luck -

So let me see if I got this straight.
American culture is superior.
The idea that blacks are equal to whites is disproven by the existance of equal opportunity/affirmative action programs.
In other words, having been denied the opportunity to participate fully in the superior culture, their failure to catch up in 30 years or so somehow proves that they are not equal?
Caller ID light is lit ... I recognize THAT number.
