blacks saying they feel like or relate to George Floyd is pathetic. It’s a cowards way out. It’s like a white person saying they can relate to some white person getting arrested or some bullshit.
We all descend from slaves. At some point in history all of our ancestors experienced slavery or oppression …
Blm people are the most annoying brats in American history…. They act like they are special or entitled.
I can understand how Blacks feel.
Yes, all of our ancestors experienced slavery at one point or another. The difference was, they weren't separated by Race. It was harder to identify them just by looking at them. Same skin tone, similar hair color, eye color, hair type, etc. Some of the Slave Women were quite beautiful and could find a wealthy master and marry into the family.
Slavery in the Americas was especially pernicious. It was based on race. It started out as pragmatic in that Black Slaves could take the heat much, MUCH better than the Irish (or other White) Slaves. A Black Slave cost five times as much as a White Slave in the American South of the mid to late 1600's
Then it got worse. They started breeding them like cattle, they kept them from forming family units, they wouldn't allow them to learn to read..... It was really ugly. And there was no hiding from it if your were Black, No marrying the Master and your children would be free. No escape. It was seriously bad.
Here's the deal...... we are the only Country in Human History to fight a War with our fellow countrymen to free slaves that weren't even our own race and that we didn't even enslave. We did it because Slavery was, and still is, disgusting. Period.
And the truth is -- We inherited the institution. We, Americans, didn't start it. The Brits dropped that giant Turd on us. Thank you very much. It was in place when we fought our Revolution. In fact, several of our Colonies made slavery illegal in their State Constitutions as soon as we were independent, the first to do it anywhere in the world that I know of.
That is not to try to absolve us of wrong-doing. We fought the deadliest war in our History to end it. We paid the price. I had relatives that died in that War on the Union side. We paid a heavy price for something we didn't even do.
I don't want Blacks to thank us. It was the right thing to do. But it would be nice if they'd remember that some of us.... Our families..... paid a heavy price to end slavery.
It's time to move on. It's way past time to end the hate. But we know who's stirring it up.... dimocrap scum. Because that's all they got. It's all they ever have. Hate. It's all dimocrap scum have. It's all they ever will have.
