You're truly sweetheart FG but humans will gladly oppress others just to get a little more than would have otherwise. It just so happens that white Americans are getting the most out of it but we all do it. We are race of people with low self esteem who truly couldn't handle if everyone was treated the same. At least the vast majority anyway.
Agreed, but there is a difference sis between you suffering racism on an individual basis, and growing up in institutionalized racism, racism that is not only apart of your culture, but you laws, education, and business....every function of your society.
And the same can be said about black folks. For the most part a lot of whites don't hate, and aren't racist, but they simply don't know... ...and we as black folk (we) act as if there is push but every white person to ...like I siad....scream Nigger until their hearts sing with joy, and that is simply not so.
Of course, history is full of that. I kinda just left that group of people out as that is a clear part of the problem - I was merely concentrating on the huge group of people that are just flagrantly uninformed.... that part of the problem is a bit diffuse and hard to get at. Agree completely.
awesome post; the lack of knowledge among the majority of white people is astounding & very sad, I agree with every single thing you've said...
Tell that to the jews...or the southern crackers...that's after they finish stomping your ass. Tell those teabaggers and confederate flag wavers that corny-ass shit. We're the only ones accused of dwelling in the past...but quiet as it's kept: Black people have done a better job moving-on than anybody else in this raggedy mofo called America. You best believe we couldn't HISTORICALLY kill off a bunch of whites or mexicans....for example...and expect them to "get over it" any time soon.
We have killed and enslaved a lot of whites during acient times and Egypt and the Moors occupied northern Italy and parts of Spain killing the men and raping the women. The only reason its never brough up because African suffering is the most recent and still currently going on. Human beings of every "race" are capable and have a history of fucking each other over.
The reason it's never brought up is because it flies in the face of white supremacy and the notion that the moors were not Black.
