If you are not a Black Person then you cannot possibly imagine what it feels like to know that your ancestors were snatched from their homeland, shipped overseas to another continent in chains like cattle and forced to work long hard hours year round with no pay, no days off, and no civil rights. That’s why Black People will go out of their way to remind you of this every chance they get.
Black People have a very long memory and have absolutely no qualms about bringing up the topic of slavery when it may benefit them (and even when it may not… especially when it may not).
Every problem that exists within the Black Community can be traced back to slavery (aka “racism”). Despite the fact that slavery ended over 140 years ago, many Black People can still feel what it was like to be a slave and believe that Caucasian People owe them something for the atrocities carried out by their ancestors (at least Native Americans got casinos, didn’t they?)
Despite the fact that nearly every Caucasian Person alive has never legally owned a slave before, Black People know in their hearts that, if slavery were brought back, Caucasian People would rejoice in the streets and would throw a huge “Slavery’s Back!” party complete with free booze, confetti and Macy’s Day Parade floats.
The only way for Black People to make sure that this never ever happens is to insure that Caucasian People feel guilty about slavery at all times and to never, ever let them for get it.
And Shepherds we shall be
For thee, my Lord, for thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand
Our feet may swiftly carry out Thy commands.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee
And teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In Nomeni Patri Et Fili Spiritus Sancti.”
this is the most uneducated thing i have ever read
“Despite the fact that slavery ended over 140 years ago, ”
I forgot that after slavery was abolished everyone went on to their happy ways and everything was A-OK…
I will not argue that in the past Black people were not absolutely discriminated against however using that argument now is just a crutch. I am not saying that there is no racism there is and will always be. It is worth stating that some black people are racist as well. There are few areas left in America where black people will be openly discriminated against however go to any major city and there are multiple places that white people very well may be attacked by blacks just for being there. Bottom line is we as Americans have adopted racism as a policy i.e. Affirmative Action: The choosing of one person over another solely based on race. The fact that black people are almost never charged with hate crimes against whites. Is this because it is rare? No, research it! It is just politically incorrect. These types of issues may be designed to stop racism but they only further it on both sides. If we truly want to work towards curbing racism we need to stop using racism to form law and policy on both sides. I watched Rodney King and then I watched a group of black people pull a white track driver out of his truck and beat him with bricks in the LA riots was this not a hate crime. Equal Rights?? Are we repeating the past in reverse?
