The talking about "race" is what divides us. There is no reason to differentiate. In my opinion, the insertion of race into anything is designed to distract us from how bad we are being screwed by the upper 0.1% of this country.
Let's see....race tells us what part of the world your family originated from. Black, White, Hispanic, Asian. It is what it is. Whites have had a history of using race to enslave them and keep them surpressed for centuries. Whites more than any race, use race to stero type and pre-judge people. Not all, but lots of them. It is what it is.

Hispanic is not a race.
What many people call hispanic is someone that looks a lot like a Native American. That makes sense because North, Central, and South America were inhabited by the original Americans until the Europeans came on board.
But, wait!
The original inhabitants of the Americas came from Asia 12-13 thousand years ago when Alaska was connected to Asia by land. The original native Americans are Asian.
But, the Asians got to Asia by migrating from Africa.
And the Europeans landed in Europe by migrating from Africa.

Hispanic ain't a race. Word was 1 of Bull Connor's friends during Jim Crow was Leander Perez, a nasty white supremacist of Spanish family. He'd be considered "Hispanic" in 2015.
First, I have not posted enough comments in any "race forum" for you to make a broad assumption that there is some "automatic" response on my part to aim my arguments towards Blacks. If anything, that assumption is automatic on your part, based on your perception of MY race. That of course would be racial profiling.
In any event, based on this post:
I used the Black statistic (which you cannot refute) as Whites are guilty of the enslavement of Blacks in the Americas. There is no historical context in America of Whites enslaving any race other than Blacks. In fact, in the past 500 years, there are few instances of predominately White societies enslaving anything but Blacks. A close example is the Spanish invasion of Mexico. That, however, was more of an outright invasion and slaughter than a long-term practice of enslavement. Even the British occupation of India was more empire-building than enslavement. Even the treatment of Native Americans, while despicable in many ways, was not slavery.
In recent times, there are numerous examples of forced slavery other than in America and other than at the hand of Whites. South America, Mayan and Aztec cultures, the Moors enslavement of the Spanish, Japan's occupation of China, as well as African tribal factions enslaving millions of fellow Blacks. Practically speaking, when one speaks of Whites enslaving anyone, the immediate thought is of America and Blacks. My comments were directed accordingly.
Ironically, in America today, the largest "enslaved group" is the Mexican illegal immigrant. Forced to work for sub-standard wages, he is exploited for political gain not by a race, but by liberal ideology. It is in fact liberals though their politics and policies who have ensured the continued exploitation of the Mexican migrant worker. Every reasonable effort to deal with the issue has been opposed by liberals. Despite the rhetoric that "rich Republicans" want their cheap labor, the fact remains that Democrats value illegals as voting block more than they value the freedom of the illegal Mexican. If the Democrats were concerned about the plight of the illegal, they would not oppose, for example, E-verify which would make it harder to hire illegals, and subsequently end their exploitation. They would not oppose laws designed to make it harder for Americans to exploit them.
More blacks have been enslaved at the hands of other blacks than all white men combined.
Which absolves no one involved in the practice and is close to being a pointless statement. And, I would say that enslaving people based on race is more heinous than for virtually any other reason.
