I know that feeling sorry for blacks makes you feel better, but it's not helping the situation.C'mon dude. It's the not same! It wasn't in the same numbers at blacks, and they didn't rip them from their homeland, nor were they chattel slaves. They were all indentured servants, and that is a big fucking difference, which the Irish and scotts did voluntarily as a way to escape bad economic times in their homelands. It's not like they were living happy lives and just decided to give indentured servitude a whirl. The africans were living happily as best they could, and we took them from their homelands and lives to make them our slaves. Not to mentions the conditions during transport were horrendous where many people died. Families were torn apart. That is wrong. I don't care how you slice it. They then provided the toil on which this country was built. It would seem rational that they be given some thanks or at least some reparation or apology, but instead, all they get is continued hatred. This is not rational behavior, but learned and passed on behavior from generation to generation, that when honestly scrutinized, is shown to be irrational. Racism has no place in the modern world.
