Seriously?

You're implying that American slavery marked the advent of institutionalized racism....

Furthermore, that American slavery was as bad as it got? x 4432423423

Do you realize how many people have been enslaved through military conquest.... you think they had it better than black slaves in this country? Do you remember the Christians being thrown to the lions for the entertainment of the masses?

Are you fricken kidding me with this sh*t

EDIT: FWIW, I'm not trying to defend slavery. Clearly evil was committed and blacks were exploited. But let's not just throw everyone from that period of time under the bus... and let's not ignore the black on black slavery that took place simultaneously in Africa.

So, which would you rather be? A member of the National Socialist Party or a slave owner? Which would you want to be less?

What point are you even trying to make here Busa. I'd rather be a white land owner in early colonial america because I wouldn't have had badass US soldiers shooting at my german @$$

EDIT: Just to make myself clear, my frustrations (at this point) aren't even with the OP... but nonsense like what b_cyrus throws are gets under my skin as it's soooooooo preposterous.

If you can find me concrete evidence, as in from a scholarly source, from someone who did years and years of research and not some stupid little yahoo article like I'm sure you can find, please find me evidence of institutionalized racism outside of the slavery in the US, NOT institutionalized slavery. This means laws, regulations, and other pieces of evidence for your argument.

The world is your oyster.

Really? That's a shitty reason. Assuming no scenario in which you blatantly pander to patriotism takes your life, which position do you find more morally repulsive: owning people or belonging to the National Socialist Party?

The series of modest nine-foot-deep shafts held a dozen skeletons of pyramid builders, perfectly preserved by dry desert sand along with jars that once contained beer and bread meant for the workers' afterlife.

A dozen, 12 skeletons. They were probably the ones who designed the pyramids. They still used forced laborers "slaves" to build them.

what about japanese interment camps? american citizens rounded up!!!

I'm sorry, I just did as sh!t tonne of research on this over the past few months, and you never have.

Please go on making nonsense like you do, and posting up pictures of your friends cars/houses randomly, and I will continue being a fvcking history boss.

Blacks started the slave trade. White slave traders basically just went there to pick up slaves and leave. They weren't capturing slaves or even really setting foot in Africa. Every slave sold was done so because an African enslaved and sold his fellow black man.

After slavery ended many blacks returned to found Liberia, which had a thriving slave trade until about 1990 IIRC. Freed slaves sought to have slaves of their own as a sign of success. One of the largest slave traders in America was a freed slave.

Without black people selling black slaves, white men would have no way to purchase them. They sure as heck weren't going to venture into the jungle with butterfly nets.

Slavery exists today as well in Asia and other places. Sex slave trading continues to this day, even in America where a couple here on Long Island was recently caught. To try to pin anything on only white people is bigoted, and equally ignorant of history and facts.

Is this an actual argument people use?

"Owning people is morally repugnant."
"But we bought them from black people!"

Honestly, the only thing that bothers me about stuff like this is the double standard. I could care less if blacks, latinos, etc express their hatred of whites. If they are going to dish it out though, they should be able to take it in return, which they cannot. They are the ones perpetuating a problem that they complain about, which is ironic.

the point was that there should be equal blame directed towards blacks, whereas you seem to place zero blame on them because its easier to hate whitey.
