Talk about eurocentric. Different culture does not = inferior culture... wow. Are we still at this stage?

And different cultures are not necessarily equal cultures either. Remember that.

You can stop being cynical any time now. Unless I'm to assume that someone who asks me if I'm white and them tries to spin it into "then you can't know what its like to be white" should be offended when I tell them that I never stated the opposite, then there's no reason whatsoever for you to be offended when I said "you people". Would you rather I say white? My apologies.


Some of you people have so little to complain about that you need to invent something to complain about. Be thankful you get to be in the "labeled racist" camp and not the "victims of racism" camp...

I'm done with you. You have been indoctrinated with the victim mentality.
All that can be said about your rants is something that rhymes with full chit.

I was not referring to the slave trade period. I was referring to the dawn of civilization and and the fact that ALL races were savages during that period of time. And, THE WHITE RACE WAS NO EXCEPTION. Therefore, the attempts of certain white people to so vividly recall the the savage history of other races, while ignoring the savage history of the white race, is only an attempt on the part of certain white people to esteem themselves above people, particularly blacks.

And now you get indignant because you somehow think that you're being victimized by THE VICTIM?! You want to talk about not knowing what its like to be white? You'll never know the kind of **** my folks and I had to put up with solely because of ignorant racist white people. You should be THANKFUL you never will. Instead you go on this whole diatribe about how "blah blah blah stop being a victim blah blah blah". You don't have a single ****ing clue what I've had to go through to get to this point... stop pretending like you even have an inkling.

Oh yeah, I know. Your parents were slaves and you live in a town where blacks can't walk on the same sidewalk as whites without being beaten to a pulp.

Spare me.

Spare me.

Obviously I'm dealing with someone simple here, so I'll put my response in simple terms:


You are ignorant.


Nothing more, nothing less.


What are you going to do about it?

Or let's go the opposite route, if white people should be known for what they've done in the past, then shouldn't all the positives be taken into account?
