Im not saying the President is rascist againt his own mother but you know he did say she was "a typical white person". If I said someone was typical black person I would be seen as the most hatefull human on the planet. But since hes a minority, he can say whatever he wants. And thats flat out wrong..

Me too, but maybe I am just crazy...

...."because of slavery they were born in a first world country"...as f---cking slaves, and being denied all the benefits of living in a first world country.You forget all the other little inconveniences they faced...making it illegal for slaves to learn to read or write, being denied the right to vote, being denied the right to own property in certain areas, being paid only a portion of a white man's wages for the same work;

Whites shouldn't feel collective guilt for slavery, but the majority of whites were given opportunities that blacks were denied, saying that affirmative action completely reverses all that is stupid.

Ignore the first three sentences and I just about agree with everything he says...

Whites don't own a monopoly on being cruel and oppressive. Historically, Indians and Blacks have been just as horrible to each other. Also, as hip bunny notes, slavery didn't start in North America. On the other hand, it did end here. Over 500,000 Americans died during the Civil War in order to abolish slavery.

You may want to rethink your viewpoint, since even without those sentences, it still reads like a white supremacist screed.

I mean, yeah, it's a bunch of facts that a white supremacist might put together, but that doesn't change the fact that they are, well, facts...

It's a bunch of assertions that a white supremacist might put together. I didn't see much in the way of actual facts in there.

That is a provocative statement. Obviously nobody has ever tried to rationalize that slavery was a benefit. However, it was just last week in Africa, a group of fanatic black Muslims slaughtered a village of black Christian with machetes. These black Muslims surrounded this straw hut Christian village, and hacked to death, mercilessly, women, children and men as they ran out of their huts. If I had a choice to live back in the Crusades, or modern society and all it's imperfections...well lets just say that's a no brainier.

....

We're discussing living African Americans. You know, the African Americans whom, themselves, were not enslaved. The African Americans, because of their ancestors enslavement don't find themselves in a 3rd world hellhole. The African Americans who have benefits such as: preferential awarding of contracts to minority owned businessess (on a federeal, state, and usually municipal level), prefential awarding of contracts to businesses which consciously try to hire 'oppressed minorites', affirmative action enacted for employment in Federal agencies, affirmative action for college admittance.... all this, in addition to the various benefits available to all citizens that would fall under the category of the social safety net (medicare, SSI, etc.). And then there's the benefits of - you know - living in an industrialized nation like... electricity, clean water, free primary education, etc.

Yes, slavery was ****. But the African American's we're discussing didn't go through it. However, as a result of it, they get all the benefits I listed above.

I suppose the question is; am I being more provocative than African Americans who bitch and moan about slavery they never experienced, but the rewards of which they reap when they turn on the goddamned faucet?

I am not a White Supremacist. However, the below are facts:

-African Americans commit more violent crimes than any other group in America
-African Americans commit more violent crimes against Whites than the other way around
-There is a profound racism in the African American community
-50% of American slaves were owned by individuals whom had 40 or more slaves
-the President is black
-America is white majority
