Ok im not trying to be racist here, I just don't understand something and I hope somebody can help me out. Why are today's African Americans still holding us accountable for slavery? Were they slaves? Were their parents, grandparents, or great-grandparents slaves? No...Were any of the white people alive today slave owners? Or their parents, grandparents, or great-grandparents? No...Why get pissed off at white people about it? One of their ancestors was just as responsible for selling slaves to the whites in the first place...they were traded for sugar and rum. But you never see anybody complaining about the leader of that tribe that SOLD them like a friggin piece of fish....WE'RE ALL HUMAN BEINGS!! Don't get me wrong, im completely against slavery, but stop whining about something that didn't even happen to you. Now, the Jews and Palestinians...It all started way back when with Jacob and Esau...Jacob took Esaus birthright and blessing because of trickery, but after about 14 years, Jacob came back and Esau forgave him (Sparks notes version, k?) Jacob went on to make the Jewish nation, and Esau the Palestinians...why are they still fighting over land? Both had ancestors that believed in the same God, and the differences were reconciled before even Jesus was alive...can someone tell me why they're still fighting? (sorry for such a long post)

I could see why African Americans would still be bitter towards whites. Even after they were emancipated, they still went through A LOT of crap in the 60s with the whole civil rights movement.

You're saying that you can see why blacks would be bitter towards whites just because other white people in the past had discriminated against and enslaved a black population? So, you're saying that you can see why blacks could be racist?

QUOTE(Acid Bath Slayer @ Apr 22 2006, 5:40 AM) That's racist. How on earth was that racist? You're saying that you can see why blacks would be bitter towards whites just because other white people in the past had discriminated against and enslaved a black population? So, you're saying that you can see why blacks could be racist?  But yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. Just because I said I could see why doesn't mean I am advocating it. |

Well, if blacks are acting like that, then that is racist. And, you're saying, pretty much, that you can see how they could be racist. I wasn't saying that you were advocating it or not, or that what you think is racist, just that if it were true, the blacks who felt bitter towards the whites, just because they were white, would be racist.
