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. |

Have the Americans tried to wipeout the entire "Afro-Americans" ? NO, they just used them to work their lands and others things like that, THAT's why YOU CANNOT COMPARE HOLOCAUST with Black slavery, and that's why i've said that Slavery was pretty much a "piece of cake"(figure of speech) compared to the Holocaust.
Dunno who saw the movie Blood Diamond, in that one is shown that the enslavement is made by the same race, and its pretty much similar with what happen in the past... isn't it? And second i guess its my bad, you got the wrong things out of what i've posted because generally my English sux. |
