Your observation is based on the FACT that early on in the USA----race distinction SEEMED clear. It was based upon just who was a sub-Saharan BLACK ----versus who was a "white" of ---WASP OR SCANDANAVIAN background. With immigration----the distinctions
could not be made ----except in the minds of the depraved. Keep in mind-----for quite a while "white" was a distinction OWNED by
THE CHURCH. Even back then----it was, of course, a baseless pile of
BS The Protestants who ruled south Africa were so depraved that they invented a COLORWHEEL to determine race------_SO? depravity makes it ok in your perverse mind?
Why do you all keep flipping from the topic of racial relations in the United States which are the parameters I outlined I'd be willing to discuss to the racial state of affairs in the entire damn world? None of us that are U.S. citizens have the ability to impact or influence laws outside of the jurisdiction of the United States so interjecting the items above that you have appears to be nothing more than a deflection.
As far as depravity and perversion, what the hell do you think passing laws that allowed white people to subjugate and violate the basic human rights of people of African decent based solely on their race is called? Basic human rights includes the right to not be held in captivity, to not be raped with impunity, or whipped, or forced to endure back breaking work because you're captors were too "fragile" (aka depraved and perverse) to endure the southern heat, to have your children or other loved ones ripped away from you and sold. Black people of the United States are not the ones who instituted this legal system, white did this, but you already know this yet still try to make it seem like black people are somehow culpable for their own abuse and victimization.
It's the dishonesty involved that makes it difficult to have a rational and civil conversation on this or any topic. Let's face it, some white people never got over the fact that black people could no longer be held in capacity, could no longer be targeted for the most heinous of crimes without the perpetrators risking placig themselves in legal jeopardy and that we are as a people are beginning to make strides, personally, professionally, politically, financially, etc. in spite of the almost 200 year head start that whites legislatively received. And that depraved and perverse mindset that thought up the system of chattel slavery and institutional racism in the first place still persist in the minds of many racists today.
So I'm seeking solutions while it sort of stands to reason that the racists don't want to see people whom they consider beneath them, progress at all.
That's my take on it but I'm certainly willing to discuss where someone else believes I may be mistaken.
I have often wondered too why discussions that start about racism here in the U.S. end up talking about conditions elsewhere. Today my husband was given a t-shirt with this poem on the back. I think it's very thought provoking and pertinent. Have you ever seen it?
HOW TO PREDICT FUTURE BEHAVIOR
Author Unknown
Take a man from all he’s known. Take his women and children away from their home
Separate and alienate from family and friend. Shoot those immediately that try to defend
Make them your prisoner. Kill off the meek. Destroy all their babies, the wounded and weak.
Put them on ships and give each one an oar. If some die from rowing replace them with more.
Bring them to a country whose soil is foreign. Dress them in garments all tattered and torn.
Fatten them up with “chittlings” and rice. Treat them as cattle and sell for a price.
Rewrite your laws to cover your ass. Count them as property to sell, pawn of pass.
Brand them like animals. Give each one a mark. So the owner can track them in daylight or dark.
Chain them and beat them and label them slaves. Kill the defiant so the masses behave.
Take away their language by filling them with fright. The penalty for speaking it is to be shot dead on sight.
Take their gods and their goddesses and replace them with yours. Take away their strength with back breaking chores.
Show them your fields and there make them work. Crack your whip often so chores they don’t shirk.
Put them in shacks with only dirt floors. Forbid them to lock any of their doors.
Enter and rape any female you please. Make fathers and husbands watch from their knees.
And if they escape hunt them like dogs. Shoot them and hang them. Butcher them like hogs.
Do this for centuries and then set them free. Now here is my question. What will you see?
