Everyone knows about it, what matters in our society, in the United States is black slavery, because to this day, blacks are marginalized. You think the 12 year old kid would have been shot were he white? Most likely not, but he was black, and the brains of the cops were programmed to see thug.
You can spin it anyway you want but it doesn't change a thing, black lives matters is a direct result of racism in America especially by the authorities just as the Black Panthers were during the civil rights struggle.

We are only talking about racism in the united states and the only slaves the US used were Black, Natives made for horrible slaves, they were strong willed and refused to work, thus, they were exterminated.
What you are makes no difference, I don't see humanity divided by race, but most people do,
Denying that racism is still a problem in this country will make for one rude awakening when they had enough and start fighting back.
I for one, cannot wait for the day

I'm just going by facts, as presented by the links I posted. I'm not old enough to have listened to the actual slaves themselves, do you have videos?
If you read my post again, perhaps you'll understand that I said slaves in the New World were safer than slaves in the Caribbeans, where they kept being imported because of such a high rate of death.

If you're anxiously awaiting a race war, be careful what you wish for. There are 240 million whites in America. Population is only 320 million.
Being reminded of history is a whole other thing then what this guy is doing here.
Blaming and shaming "whites" in general and calling each and everyone of them a racist by default is nothing and i mean NOTHING to do with history.

The problem is- the perpetuating racism keeps blacks down. It doesn't hurt whites when a black man assumes certain stereotypes of a white man.
Remember how badly the tea party was demonized? Those people didn't ever riot or get violent. They even picked up after themselves!
If you want equality then you must work for exactly that. By singling out a specific group and saying how hard you have it while ignoring the plights of others makes you just as bad as those rail against.

This is weird, so on one hand you admit you've never done your research or bothered to read memoirs and transcripts from former slaves (from slavery that didn't end that long ago)
But then you turn around and ask someone to read your post again? The same post that contains information you admit you've not done research on?

Imo, that was for show.
You can't have real protest or demonstration movements without a little civil disobedience, to get media attention, to broadcast your message.
The real protests aren't covered the way the tea party ones were. Tea Party, lol. They would never dump tea in the harbor, lol. They are the party in charge.

Have you ever listened to actual slaves? By your last response to me, it's clear you don't correctly comprehend a single thing I say.

So many closet racist n one thread to jump on the bandwagon. History does show that white Europeans have been exploiting humans from other continents for eons, slavery has been around since humanity has existed but no one has profited so much from it then White people, denying it means denying your entire history.
All empires have been built on the backs of slaves and the best empires were built by white Europeans.
Obviously slavery is travesty of humanity, and no one is exempt. But to be fair it was white Europeans who were the first to abolish slavery in the history of the universe, while everyone else, including black africans (as late as 1980) continued on. Yet no one mentions the Ottoman empire's slave trade. No one mentions the Brazilian slave trade. Without white Europeans, slavery would still be going on.
Slaves your referring to wasn't treated as subhuman like here.
They were treated worse outside of America. They were clothed, fed, and sheltered in America.

Lol, am I the only one who sees LSU0408's post for what it is? Absolutely shameful.
Secondly, this population you are refering to is for actual citizens and does not include a single immigrant, now wrap your head around that.
