WTF is this stormfront shit you keep spouting - thats not anyones slant on History - it is simply History . Sorry that it doesn't fit your narrative or Agenda - but is unfortunate factApples and Oranges.
The "N" word was/is a term of oppression then as it is now. Saying it or writing it to be displayed puts the sender of such a message at least just a little bit on the side of "it is or was OK to oppress a group of people". A lot of so-called good people condoned if not in fact participated in slavery. It is a stain on our nation that will never wash out of our fabric.
"Japs" was a derogatory term of born out of a situation where a country was at war for it's very existence. The Japanese were indeed our enemy and at the time as far as anyone knew sneak attacked our Naval Base at Pearl Harbor in our territory protectorate of Hawaii. Our whole nation HAD to come together and focus on a single mission. It was THEM or US.
There was/is no justification for demeaning African Americans. Their recent ancestors didn't ask to be here. OUR white recent ancestors had no moral authority to aid in their capture by buying human beings at this end.
In WWII we definitely had the moral authority to do whatever it took within some reason up to and including dropping atomic weapons on their country to ensure that they knew they were licked.
Our Grandmothers and Grandfathers had every right to be a part of the single mindedness of defeating the Japanese. I for one applaud their efforts and the outcome of that effort.
The Japanese citizens made their own bed by assigning the value of their very being to the whim of their Emperor. Any dehumanization that followed was of their own doing.

Well ...... not really - in the current evolutionary stage of the language - it is more commonly used by African American juveniles as a greeting to one another such as " wassup my ****** " .

Slavery arose from African BY Africans ...Arabs first jumped into the slave trade followed by Europeans and Americans."
Is that the accepted revisionist history from Stormfront?
Europe always had slavery.
The history of the colonization of the Americas is one of slavery- but it didn't start with African slavery.
The first act of slavery by Europeans in the Americas was done by Columbus himself- taking natives as slaves and sending them back to Spain to be sold. Slavery already existed after all.
African slavery started because natives slaves were dying. So Europeans started importing slaves from Africa.
Yes- African's participated in the slave trade also.
And did the United States.
It was a terrible wrong, but we can't change the facts- we did participate. We did have legal slavery- and slavery was terrible.
It is a Stormfront revisionist history- all to excuse our American culpability in slavery.
Certainly other nations were involved.
But to deny our own involvement in it is just bigotry on parade.
I know what Stormfront is. I've known for a little less than 2 years. I only know about that site because you Leftists kept bringing it up over and over again to people who, like GreenBean, don't know what the hell you're talking about. It's one more example that exposes the lie you Leftists tell in assuming we're racist, a radically stupid assumption since you all fit the label far better if racism is defined classically as treating people differently according to their skin color.
Conservatives don't read Stormfront and those bigots who do out themselves quickly because they can't resist saying hateful things about Jews; it's not hard to discern. And while many conservatives ignore these haters as they try to blend in on the right, I withstand them every time like I do with Stormfronter Steve_McGarrett. I actually hate them worse than any of you.
There's a special breed of asshole that frequents that site. Please stop confusing them with conservatives.
Sorry- Stormfront is a special breed of conservatives.
Just like the whacky wing of the right- they hate homosexuals, they think affirmative action is racism and they basically are the Conservative values on steroids.
Greenbean is a foul mouthed bigot who is right at home at Stormfront.
And note- I do not say that about you.
