how long are black people going to hold this slavery thing against white people who were not even around back then?
Let me clue you into something.
Slavery started in this country when people from here traveled across the ocean, found land. Found a place where tribes would fight each other, the winner would take all the surviving tribe members they caught and sold them to the visitors from this country.
It is not like people from this country traveled somewhere and conquered people and took them by force.
Black people conquered other black people and sold them into slavery.
Now with that said, every fricken stinking race on this planet has been subjected to slavery and discrimination at one time or another in the history of this world from the beginning of time.
He11 chinese people were brought over to this country as slaves, you don't seem them whining about it still.
How in the he11 would you like to have been japanese in the united states during world war ii?
Check this out?
world war two - japanese internment camps in the us
how would you like to have been living in america, land of the free, working and all of a sudden because of you herritage you are ripped from your home and put into camps?
I would say that would be a pretty f'd up thing
you don't see japanese people running around whining about it and continuously bringing it up and blaming the united states for their personal problems.
He11, we bombed the fricke crap out of japan with fricken nukes, japanes people living today are still affected by that in someway. But you dont see japanese people in the united states constantly bringing it up and slamming it our face.
And why? Because it is in the past and they know to get over it they need to move on.
I am sure at some point in history i have ancestors that were slaves at sometime. Because every stinking race has been subjected to slavery!!
But only black people are continuing to make an issue out of it in a country where it is no longer acceptable.
Get over it already. Move on.
I see successful people of all races all the time, including black people. I don't hear the successful black people crying racism. They had drive and motivation to succeed. And guess what? They did.
I for one squash just about any racism i see on this board if i feel it is racism against a black person.
But guess what? If a black person makes a racist comment towards someone else i am a little squeamish to do or say anything about it..
And why? Because i am afraid if i say anything about a black person make a racist comments they are going to flame me for being racist.
Wtf!! That is fricken wrong.. But guess what? That is how i feel. I feel like i have to walk on fricken egg shells all the time.
Even though i have never discriminated against anyone and i feel i treat everyone equally, for some reason i feel obligated to take crap off of people for something that people did a long time ago that i dont even know.
And for all i know my ancestors might have been some of the large amount of white people who fought to free black people from slavery.
But no.. Because i am white i feel obligated to be called a racist and have to accept being labeled all the time and being told i just wouldn't understand the black mans issues.
Seriously, wtf is that all about..
Move the he11 on. This whole race issue needs to drop on both sides for it to ever go away.. Really.. You think black people can continue to treat whites the way they do and it will be ok? You think whites who did nothing to black people should just keep fricken sucking it up forever without ever saying anything about it?
This attitude is what is keeping this country segregated.
If you are black and a white person discriminates against you do something about it, take them to court, beat their a$$ whatever.
But those black people who look at a white person and just automatically think they are racists, or prejudice, guess what? They are now being racist. They are doing exactly what they hate, they are judging people by their color.
How fricken hypocritical is that?
Seriously. Do like i do. Judge everyone on how they are, not by their skin color.
