First. there are no different races. Dont fall into that argument. As a matter of fact, go back far enough, and you will see that most of us are ethnically mixed. So you can tell the poster, assuming he or she is "european" that there is a good chance that a few generations ago his or her ancestors would look "african" or "asian" or even "native american"
Second. Get a book called "Guns Germs and Steel". A great book that will answer the questions that you are asking:
http://www.amazon.com/Guns-Germs-Steel-Fates-Societies/dp/0393317552
Or, watch the series: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0475043/
But books are better ;)
Third. Ask this guy what percentage of "blacks" make up the US. As a matter of fact, ask your friends and family this question. Because anybody on the internet can look it up before answering. I will tell you, that many people will over estimate how many "blacks" are in the US. When they find out how small the percentage is, you then have to ask yourself, for a people that are supposed to be less then others, why are they so prominent in the culture? It takes a great intelligence to live in a society where you are the minority, yet you keep your identity and influence the majority.
Fourth: Ask the poster who Benjamin Banneker was and what did he have to do with the capital of the US. Ask the poster who Othello was and what he represents. Why did Shakespear write about "blacks"? Ask the poster why they have "black" people on European flags, pre-slavery paintings, and coat of arms?
Fifth: Look up Black Wallstreet, then look up Cointelpro and Operation Chaos.
Sixth: Ask the poster which contintent had the first Universities, and which contintent had the richest
man in the world EVER known.
Seven: Ask the poster which slave orchestrated the defeat of the mightiest military of the time- twice! And what Napolean did to the Sphinx when he found out.
