No not the american civil war, just Slavery in general.
I don't remember the part of History where whites were shackled and sold off to the highest black bidder.
You're just making yourself look stupid now. There were plenty of whites used as slaves. I have to start my day now but I'll give you examples when I get back.
Reading comprehension? we are talking race right?
Where did I say there were no white slaves?
I said I

I mean Racist blacks and racist whites are both the same.
Society treats racist whites and racist blacks very differently.
A racist white person can't be openly racist without facing criticism from society as being ignorant and backwards. A racist black person gets a pass on it the vast majority of the time with nobody saying anything about it. Like its almost expected.
Society shouldn't treat them differently..
The last part is easy to say as a white guy in my opinion and dare I say heavily biased having never been black.
There is no way it is getting worse though, things are maybe getting more EVEN not worse, I mean got back a couple of hundred years, that was a race war and one side lost badly.
If you're referring to the American Civil war there were whites and blacks (yes there were many blacks that fought for the Confederacy.) on both sides of that conflict. Hard to call it one race versus the other when all sides are fighting and killing each other.
I went to a high school that was about 80/20 ratio..whites being the 20%. Trust me. I know my way around racism
I did not however expect to be harrased by the police for my views... NOT THE POLICE OF FERGUSON....
And no I will continue in my search to lay the racism in ME to rest.
We the People need to fight the establishment...not each other. As long as we do fight amongst ourselves, the establishment has no worries what so ever.
Actually the way you come across...your what I'm trying not to be. Which is a backward arse southerner with archaic views of race relations.
So I will continue to change myself ( for the better) and try to lay waste to the racism that lies within and around my life.
you do know what honor is correct? It's doing the right thing...when nobody's looking.
You would'nt know honor if it knocked on your door then slapped you across the face and knocked your dentures out.
Your avatar had zero to do with me calling you out as a racist.....your OWN words do a damn fine job of that.
I never told a soul why we went to Ferguson.
I and my sons, along with several "friends" went to participate in the protest and support our fellow citizens against how they were being treated.
Instead of sitting around and writing racist comments on the internet, why not try to change the way it is.
Whether you see it or not, what I read that you wrote..is racist.
Oh, I forgot..it's a lost cause for you and a Polly anna act & attitude.
I agree. However human nature being what it is I guess only time will tell. Personally, I don't have as much faith in the human race as you seem to.
It must suck to be you.
Trying to say your of mixed race is horse shat.
Yea I told people about the trip......right when I wrote it down here at ATS.
And again I was harrassed by cops in Kentucky not Ferguson MS.
The one driving the SUV did. I never said " hey man i got video on my phone about the cops in Ferguson" When your phone is taken and accessed while your temp-cuffed on the curb....little I can do about that.
You told me what type person I am...let me return that for ya. Your one of the people that can't freaking stand people like me. You hate the fact I think we're all equal...no matter the color of your skin. You hate the fact I attempted to be part of something that effects ALL OF US. Probably because you think I choose the wrong side, the wrong color.
What went down in Ferguson with the police stomps on the face of our Constitution. I went their to support PEOPLE American citizens..regardless of the color of their skin. Our Constitution starts by saying.......WE THE PEOPLE...not WE THE WHITE PEOPLE.
I'm German, Dutch & Irish...you can't get much more caucasin.

And again I was harrassed by cops in Kentucky not Ferguson MS.....never told police in Kentucky any thing either. The one driving the SUV did. I never said " hey man i got video on my phone about the cops in Ferguson" When your phone is taken and accessed while your temp-cuffed on the curb....little I can do about that. And I did not vote for Obama so you know. You told me what type person I am...let me return that for ya. Your one of the people that can't freaking stand people like me. You hate the fact I think we're all equal...no matter the color of your skin. You hate the fact I attempted to be part of something that effects ALL OF US. Probally because you think I choose the wrong side, the wrong color.
What I support the most is our Constitution....it was written for ALL OF US. What went down in Ferguson with the police stomps on the face of our Constitution. I went their to support PEOPLE American citizens..regardless of the color of their skin. Our Constitution starts by saying.......WE THE PEOPLE...not WE THE WHITE PEOPLE. You are you & i am me. We differ greatly on this subject, which is why I like ATS. All of us are different in many ways...including skin color. Peace to you Cancer Warrior.....I'm German, Dutch & Irish...you can't get much more caucasin.
