Enslavement of Blacks. . .the worse? Options

[hotsoup]

The issue of why African Americans/Blacks seem to think that the enslavement of their ancestors was so much more horrible than the enslavement of other people has come up many a time in discussions centered on race and ethnicity. So, I figured I'd just go ahead and start a discussion on the subject. Hopefully, one doesn't already exist.

So, my opinion.

I actually wrote a paper on this very subject last year for a history class I was taking at college. While I argued from an economical stand point in my paper, I think I'll go with the skin color issue here.

Every time I gain some new knowledge, my opinion seems to change, but I believe that the main reason the enslavement of Blacks is considered to be such a heinous crime and held above similar crimes is because it was based almost solely on skin color and the complete domination of an entire race thought to be some how deviant or against God in nature. I'll try to elaborate more on my stance once a discussion picks up.

LOL well I think the treatment of African Americans or Blacks is far more worst than any other race here in North America. You take every race into consideration

White , Black , Asian, Hispanic and other, and you tell me who had it worst here in North America. White people even put their own kind to work if they had a drop of black blood in them.

Now as far as worldwide then no, the Jews were almost wiped out by the Nazis, on top of that forms of slavery has existed almost since the beginning of mankind. So in conclusion , in North America yes, and worldwide no.

But the part about black people complaining I LOL at that because the fact of the matter is every race of people complain about some form of unfair treatment. You got people complaining about affirmative action now, about how its not fair to their race. Then you have those who complain about "HOW COME I CAN'T USE THE WORD NIGGA, but you can call me this." I could just as easily start debate topics such as these , but I got better stuff to do then worry about such minuscule things such as these.

Amen I agree. I hear people say black complain too much and yet I'm not the one who started this conversation/topic. I hate that people feels this way.
