Subject: Blacks and whites Racism (Off
Topic) (Was conspiracy..)
Terry, you are quite right about this:
I know this is off-topic but I'm going to make one post on the matter
because I've spent most of my life fighting racism based simply on ignorance
and denial
There are Black racists too. The process of hating isn't confined to any
skin colour.
Does it make it acceptable to you.?
There are many poor white people.
But is the the percentage of whites in real "below-the-bread-line"
poverty the same as the percentage of blacks in that situation?
There are whole communities of "White trash" that live like they do
because they choose to.
They have the choice.
I wouldn't put money on your last sentence... Poverty, I'm afraid, is
rather color-biased.
all around the world.
For 700 years black people around the world were kidnapped and
traded. A holocaust that makes the 2nd world war atrocities look like a
flesh-wound. Millions upon millions were murdered, tortured etc
Imagine waking in the middle of the night and finding strange people
coming to take your children at gunpoint? All the children on your block. All
the children in your town?
They were tortured and imprisoned for no crime other than the fact
that they were black. It was standard practice on slave ships to smash the
teeth of anyone trying to commit suicide by not eating. With no teeth they
could be forced to eat. Mothers suffocated thier babies so that they would not
be taken to slavery.
The slave trade made many, many white people very wealthy.
Directly or indirectly. It brought industry and commerce to whole countries.
It peopled factories and farms so that white folks didn't have to get
thier hands dirty getting rich.
1000 slaves in a small town could produce the cotton/tobacco/wheat/etc
that the whole town lived on.
We whites live a good life today on the legacy of
the blood, sweat and tears of millions.
Are you saying the descendants of these people are playing on an
even field with white people?

Obviously you don't need to tell us because we
all know where you are going with this, but when I was in Ok. there where
several white families who lived like that and worse, unfortunaly poverty
sees no skin color!
Then what about those who choose to live like
that, or are taught by their parents to live like that?
And just for the record I have encountered a
lot more "African Americans" who are racist then I have whites, and why
is it that I can say "whites" but I cant say "Blacks" with out being
racist?

Herschel, you are a man after my own heart.
Check out
this American home, where the eagle soars proudly in 2005. It is
located in Bainbridge, Georgia, the very southwest corner of the state 10
miles from the Alabama line and 5 miles from Florida.
