There is a point in time that people need to move on and as a child of two Holocaust survivors who lost many family members I feel I'm entitled to say this.

I feel that over the last few years more people are bringing slavery up due to Michele Obama now keep saying she lives in a house built by slaves but she forgets also white people were working on building the WH.

They want to become a victim to start the blame game as that is what democrats do to win votes. Start pointing fingers to make them feel better. Very sad and damaging to the next generation as it increases hate!
Please.

Denying the Holocaust in the United States will lead to a man being treated worse than a child molester. Stop it. You're being ridiculous and telling an outright lie.

Yet, people are allowed to say that slavery wasn't so bad, and folks like you defend them.

Saying that you feel entitled to say so and so because you're the child of Holocaust survivors is bunk. You can speak for YOUR people, but you aren't entitled to speak on behalf of black people whatsoever. And no matter what Jews do (or don't do), that has NOTHING to do with African Americans and we're under no obligation to follow anyone else's example relative to their persecution.

On top of that, African Americans fought to liberate Europe from NAZI tyranny when they didn't have freedom right here at home.

So, anyway..moving on.

Default Who is responsible for America's racial strife?

Mother Nature is ultimately responsible. Strife between species, and sub-groups within species, is natural and inevitable. And this is only compounded when they live in the same territory and must compete for the same resources. Pretending that race does not exist and national borders are meaningless doesn't solve the problem or change the underlying reality.

Whoever's responsible for the slanderous propaganda against the many ethnicities in this country, from past to present, is responsible for the racial strife in this country.

[quote=Steve40th;44955611]And you know, as well as I do, that this whole statement has been debunked. Quit preaching BS and drinking the Kool Aid. The DEMS are all about controlling the black people, the poor people etc. Read what LBJ stated in the 60's when he signed a little piece of paper about how the F'n ****** will bevoting dems for the next 200 years. Yeah, party of the people. All their programs are just to enslave blacks to the party.


You are arguing the same point as Ralph Kirk. He is speaking from the Republican party position and the historical progression of that party.

You are saying the same thing from the Democratic party side of the argument.

Go back and re read his post and then read the links you posted!

Not in Puerto Rico. They just mixed the races up. The difference between us and them is a large number of folks of Germanic European descent.

Racism is a special case of tribalism which is fully ingrained into human existence. Fighting racism is like the fight against other primitive instincts, it takes laws and education. The US definitely did not create racism and neither did any particular race.

I've grown tired with this cop out of an answer. It's a thinly veiled way of saying that "Black people are racist, too", except the US has only had one racial aggressor. It's clear that we are dealing with a situation of one group being significantly more racist than another.

Yours is not a satisfactory response.

Black people are responsible and started the problems when they sold their kind to the white man. Consider that from the beginning of time the black people did well against man eating animals, etc. They were real warriors. Even today a great number of blacks sell their members out via drugs,crime,etc.

Their "kind"?!! Are you daft, man? Black people are humans, not another species of animal you can use at your discretion.

Were Black people responsible for slavery? Jim Crow? Racial covenants and the Black Codes? The war on drugs? Folks like you love passing the buck to take the heat off your butts when you don't want to come to a common ground with Black people. It's rather sickening to blame an entire group for the actions of a few individuals.
