Agreed, this thread is atrocious. I believe some guy wants black people to absolve European whites in the slave trade, as if Euro whites didn't play a major role in the slave trade. Deplorable, but I really don't expect anything better from this country. Blacks and other minorities are told to shut up and accept what happened to them. Really just disrespectful rhetoric and whites act like they're angelic.
You even see the issue in regular joe white guy. Me Being of Indian decent, I may casually talk with other white people who feel they can confide in me with their racist viewpoints. Things like all blacks are just welfare recipients and they're the cause of all the country's problems. Just straight racism, but they think that since I'm brown skinned my views would align with theirs, which they don't and never will. White people are racist and will continue to be so.
I can agree with most of what you said here but this is contentious for me. If someone was not personally a slave or a victim of the holocaust then they really need to not harp on it. If it didn't happen to you personally then shut the **** up about it. Seriously it's enough. If you experience racism today then yes absolutely it's worth challenging and fighting against but to continually bitch and moan about something that you yourself never experienced is absolutely pointless. And before anyone gets the wrong idea, I'm not white and I'm not trying to justify any of the atrocities that have taken place against any ethnic group at any time in history. I'm just saying that acting like a victim of something you didn't actually live is pathetic and irritating.
