They most definitely committed genocide and enslaved black people for 400 years.
The foundation of this country (setting aside the lofty ideas and ideals and principles of the "founding fathers") is rotten and there has still not been "atonement" for those 2 sins.
And they were indeeds sins.

Thanks you so much for saying this. Look I don't hate or dislike whites. Some of them need to acknowledge and understand the foundation and the root to Rascism in Anerica and how it plays a part of our Governent and society. A lot of whites try to remove themselves from history as if it's supposed to be tucked away somewhere and forgotten about. Somehow they think we have started over fresh.

All that's happening now is a result from the past.

Ok I'll bite, I admit that racism exists both black and white people are guilty. Now get over it and do what you can do to succeed, many other people have done it, so it's not impossible.

Haha, not at all. I have a great life my man, I'm blessed. When I was younger though I do remember going through my own set of troubles and problems, blaming everyone else. Had more trouble with cops then anyone I know back then. You know when that stopped? Woke up in the hospital, staring at the ceiling and thinking "I DID THIS" nobody else. And just like that, life changed.

Things just flowed after that. Never miss a sunrise my friend, seize each and every damn day. Better yourself and never make excuses. You fail, learn from it and keep going. Never blame anyone but yourself because you are the only one you can hold accountable.

That's how you beat life, just do it brother. I'm not your enemy, none of us are. I'm serious, you can hate on me if you want but all this race BS is done. We are Americans, all of us need to think like this and keep going forward...

I like what you have to say, I really do.
Many people here seem to have this YOU vs US mentality.

Trump supporters vs Hillary supporters. Trump supporters seem to be the most hated group and I have no ideas why.

Why are we the enemies? I don't get it.

Trump is a multi billionaire businessman. Even if he lost the election, he can go back doing he always enjoyed of doing. We are the people who have to suffer from the consequences of electing somebody horrible.

We as a nation must go forward. Doesn't help any of us if we hold on to so much hatred coming from nowhere.

SOME liberals seem to be very compassionate people who care for all, but judged by their attitude, I don't think they really care about the poor when they are southern white folks who are Trump supporters. Some people just want some serious changes in this country, I don't think it is necessarily a bad thing.

Who can really decide who is a racist, who is not? According to my own experience growing up as a mixed (white/japanese/Hawaiian) girl, the ones who claims they care about minorities are the biggest racists because they will never allow anybody to forget that they are different. If we are not angry, if we don't view white people as racists, then there must be something wrong with us. I am not saying all liberals are like that, but a lot of them seem to have this type of mentality.

90% of my own family members in this country are white, 100% of my family members in Germany are white. How can I possibly view white as all bad ???!!!!! I view everybody as individual, I don't view people as "color". But it is just me.

Yes.
And please don't forget that before Africans were enslaved and throughout their enslavement, genocide against the 1st people was occurring.
And realize if you will that there is not one group of people in the history of the world (not that i'm aware of anyway) who have done no harm.

Ive moved forward along time ago but you can't just dismiss the past as if it never existed especially when parts of it keeps showing up in today's society. My family were victims of the Jim Crow laws etc they went threw being harassed and having to eat and drink from Black only places. Couldn't attend good schools because they were black. They moved on and made a good life for themselves and there Grand kids. They haven't forgotten though and what they see going on in this election reminds them Somewhat of there past.

I don't dislike white people and I don't see you as the enemy. I just pointed out where the root of the problem started and why it still lives in some people today and how it still plays apart of our government structure.
