America.
White American colonist needed labor to make agriculture in the American colonies a profitable venture. They imported slaves from Africa to satisfy that need. Racism was part of the moral and financial justification for slavery.
The concept that a White person was somehow inherently superior did not come from non-White people anywhere in the world.
The concept that Black Americans should not have equal rights in this country came from White Americans not Black Americans.
The concept of segregation was not invented by Black Americans it was created by White Americans to preserve economic and political power amongst themselves.
The number of hate groups in this country founded by White Americans, and the number of White Americans involved in hate groups or who express sympathy with hate groups that express hate toward Black Americans is significantly higher than the number of hate groups founded by Black Americans or the number of Black American in hate groups expressing hatred for White Americans. That’s ironic considering historically Black Americans have experienced far more attacks and deaths based on racial hatred than White Americans have on the hands of Black Americans.
Yes it’s unfortunate that Black American commit violent acts of hatred toward White Americans. I wish they hadn’t learned how to hate people based on race but they had some damn good teachers. Maybe if the people who started the system of racism did more stop it this madness could all end.
White people didn't invent or create slavery and racsim.
Human Beings creating the social construct of race to justify the enslavement, exploitation and disenfranchisement of other races; was created long before white people participated in it. Including Blacks. Blacks were actually doing it long before whites.
You would think free blacks would care that some Africans are still slaves in Africa .
I know, you would think. You would also think that black organizations would have picked up where MLK left off and would have been gathering and giving speeches at the Lincoln Memorial every year on the anniversary, but NOOOOOO. It didn't even cross their minds until Beck wanted to use the site.
Liberal Fascist History=Slavery and Racism Began With White People.....
LMAO!
Doesn't get funnier than this!
Yeah, they don't consider the enslaving of African blacks by the Egyptians to build the pyramids a bad thing. I've actually heard a few of them say that it was "good for those people", right here on CD!

Even if White Europeans did not created slavery they used to because it was financially profitable and racism was used to justify the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. You post’s contains nothing to refute that fact.
Thank you for pointing out that White Europeans may not have invented racism. I will concede that may or may not be true. But over the past 500 years White Europeans and White Americans have been the largest practitioners of racism on the planet.
And you post does absolutely nothing to refute any of the items I mentioned with regards to racism.
But thanks for responding and adding to the dialogue

They did. It's called:
1) Brown vs. Board of Education
2) 24th Amendment to the Constitution
3) Gideon vs. Wainwright
4) Heart of Atlanta vs United States
5) Civil Rights Act of 1964
6) Voting Rights Act of 1965
7) Immigration and Nationality Services Act of 1965
8) Fair Housing Act of 1968
9) Affirmative Action
Now, would you like to try again with your White apologist nonsense?
You are so far off base and uneducated. Didn't you know that a black man started slavery in the US? Didn't you know that the barbarians in Africa have been enslaving their own people since the beginning of time and still do today?
You are correct sir! If I remember my history classes, it was actually the Sumerians that brought slavery to the table, Sumerians also called themselves something like sig-gaga...Which I believe translates into the black headed people, or something..I am not totally clear, as history is NOT my major..

Every time I read something that infers or alludes that black people are using the word “whitey”, I become suspect. Maybe I am just not hip on what the slang of the day is….but rarely do I hear black people, speaking derogatorily, use the term “whitey”. That term, the last I knew, was popular in the 70’s and usually when I hear the term its some white guy in his 50’s trying to speak for what black folks are thinking and the only phrase he can remember being popular was “whitey” from the 70’s. That is the same era of slang that gave us “the man”. Again, I am really not hip on it but I have lots of nieces and nephews and when they talk about white people they just say “white people”.
I don’t doubt that there was a group of black kids causing trouble or that most of the victims were white, if not all, or that race played a role in whom they targeted, however, when they called it “beat whitey night” I became incredulous. You see “wilding” events like this every now in then where groups of inner-city kids will go to a crowded area and prey on whomever seems the most vulnerable or who likely will put up the least resistance. In certain cities these “wilding” youth have a more diverse demographic to attack….but in Iowa…….the demographics are 95% white.
