I'll just ask you a question, and let you take things from there?

Were white people slaughtered, captured, beaten, packed up, shipped across the ocean, forced to work, sold as property, raped when it was amusing, used as sport for dogs, sold by their own neighbors because they lost a fight, only to end up in chains NEXT to those neighbors because the slavers were greedy, forced to fight in a civil war for their freedom, only to be told that they can't vote, can't own property, can't look at the slaver's women or children at the risk of being lynched, can't have a decent job, can't marry who they want, can't have a decent education, right up until 1964 when the National Guard of the nation that kidnapped your ancestors had to use the threat of lethal force against your fellow human beings to keep them from dragging you out of the school and stringing you up from a tree, which used to happen quite regularly and STILL HAPPENS TODAY, only instead of getting strung up from a tree you get dragged behind a pickup truck, still not allowed to live in the "nice neighborhood" because the gentiles priced it way out of your income because everyone is scared of your skin color so you can't get a job, or everyone thinks you're not smart enough for the job because of your skin color, and cops automatically think you're breaking a law while driving/walking/jogging down the street and taser/shoot/tackle you and beat you up?

So tell me?

When's the last time you had that happen to you? Better yet, when's the last time this has happened to white people?

BTW, Jews don't count, since that wasn't based on skin color, it was based on religion and money.

first off, let me just say this, it was the black man, that sold there fellow blackman into slavery to begin with, and second, its with that sort of attitude that brings the hardship still to this day, MY ancestors never owned slaves, so i owe NOTHING to the black man, and i mean NOTHING, dislike me if you want, i could care less, but i stand by what was said, and let me ask you this, what gives blacks the right to do all that sort of stuff to whites? black people have earned there right to be free from the mistake of one of there own fellows

alot of what goes on now adays, is none of my concern, because its braught on by the very people that have turned there life to crime, and have the attitude that because they were slaves, white owe them, WRONG, you might want to reread history there, its not the whitemans fault black people were sold into slavery, a black man was

thank you, and goodnight

hmm... I happen to have been born and raised in an area in the immediate, and I mean immediate, vicinity of the Navajo nation Reservation, in the four corners area of New Mexico. I was a white "minority" in that region, strictly by which I mean the ratio was skewed to about 6 to 7 Native americans and 2 to 3 mexican americans for every white american. And I was a regular victim of harassment and violence because of it: at least one major fight each year up until the end of high school, when the punishment became jailtime, and then only because the aggressors were now behind bars and unable to cause trouble.

Now an adult, Many Navajo recieve free vehicles, housing, and funds simply due to their racial connections. Also, in the case of a legal issues, they are literally able to "jump the border" by making going to the reservation lands, where the cops then have to go through the trouble of relaying the matter to Reservation police, and the red tape tends to be so convoluted that most of the criminals escape prosecution, unless the crime is so severe as to cause a public scene if it goes unaddressed.

As a "minority" I've recieved no aid beyond the fact that I'm disabled with crohns disease to the point where I would die unaided... definately no kind of racial respite despite the attacks caused by the racial majorities in the area.

I've met good Mexican americans, Spanish americans (they do prefer to be differenciated) and Native Americans. I am not Racist... I hate all Evil people equally, but I have had a tough time where I live being white, and I don't appreciate being punished for the actions of the evil ancestors of my race (or for being "different"), when I had no control over them, and have wanted to be able to help people since I was young... note, people. Not whites, not blacks, but people.

And I have had job issues in the past due to my race as well, I forgot to mention. Imagine being treated like the village idiot *knocks over a box of condiments "Hurry up and pick that up"... for example* by fellow employees at McDonald's as a teenager trying to garner food funds while in college, then being fired for "lack of effort" shortly after complaining about it... in a store run literally exclusively by Mexican americans... I still wonder why they hired me in the first place...

Hold on a minute have you read your history books? I mean other then the section on American civil war? In Colonial America White Indentured servants were often treated worse then slaves beaten treated like animals and even raped because they were only to serve for a short time, but remember this doesn’t count because they were white. Also the dark ages in European history is a prime example of dehumanizing and enslaving people within a ridged cast system because as you probably already know serfs were property of lords and they could not run from it and even their children were considered property but I guess this is like the Jews and doesn’t count at all right because they are white and because of the geographic location or something?

What makes the color of any ones skin important?

Simple it is people that can’t break the fucking cycle of racism and try to feed off of past pains to make a quick buck or earn sympathy they sure as hell don’t deserve.

We as humans are one race, we just come in different shades.

interesting. I wonder what brought this on?

How very true. How very true indeed.

... if you read my little rant up there... yeah, I understand where you are coming from. One cannot have equality while demanding special attention for any reason.

I've made points like these many times really, and in all truth, these points never ever cross the minds of those who are racist towards whites. Because of their irrational xenophobia, as well as their overwhelming ignorance. I really wish I could do something about this and end xenophobia one way or another way, but it's like every time I try to better the situation over all, people find new ways to fail miserably.
