For 81% of this nation's history it's official view of black people was exploitation, and they are not human.


I'd think given that history of brutality and outright theft from black people that huge racial gaps would naturally be viewed as a continuation of that same system of exploitation.


That's how I look at those stats.
Speak for yourself. My state Minnesota has been almost 100 percent WHITE/CAUCASIAN/ANGLO for the vast majority of its history. We owe you nothing. Only people we "owe" are the natives, and they are all pretty much getting a good check every month from the casinos now here.

Lol, this is an utterly ridiculous post.

I don't know who is "we".

Cause I'm talking about America when I'm talking systematic racial exploitation for 81% of this nation's history, and Minnesota is apart of America.

I didn't use the word owe, so that's on you.

Minnesota is Minnesota. We have nothing in common with, or owe anything to a state like Mississippi.

I have pride that my neighbor and I have the same melanin content in our skin.

Hey slick, I am a trust fund baby. As such I have the silver spoon.

But guess what? I still made my own way in the world. Was in the Navy for 10 years when I didn't have to. Got hired on my merits instead of the pocketbook.

If I can, anyone can. Thus I am color blind. Society gave me nothing. I worked for it.

You can have your whine, I think its a cop out.

Funny you take issue with white pride but not with all the other pride movements for people of color.
I said Racial pride is stupid. I didn't specify any race.

That "white pride" comment was me belittling your comment.

Well, bully for you, but lots of whites would move, or put pressure on their neighbors not to sell to black people. In America. In 2015.
