Do you have any reason to believe any of those things happened more here than anywhere else that had slaves? I don't know of any reason to believe that.
Yes I have multiple reasons. I have researched the issue. Theres even more stuff I didnt list. Do you have even 1 reason those things did not occur other than you just don't want to believe it?
I am not going to argue racism doesn't exist because I think it does. I think people are inherently racist.. Our minds are built to see things and make generalizations. It was how we survived many years back and could quickly identify possible threats and how those threats might behave whether they were flora or fauna.
But I do have a question I have always wondered and perhaps you can provide an answer. Why do you see so many professional, engaging, black men with fat and ugly white women? In my mind the guys are 8 or 9's and the women are 2's or 3's that I would not spend a one night stand with much less marry. Surely these men could do better. Do they value whiteness so much they would pick a fat, ugly white women over an in shape intelligent black women? If anything seems to put a value judgement on the races it would be the actions of these men.
I am hoping for an honest answer here?
You are correct that people instinctually see differences. However, those differences need not be ethnicity. Thats why children can play together from different ethnicities and not have a problem until they are taught to make it a difference.
Your question is one that baffled me for a long time as well.
