I am supposed to feel guilt and be upset.

Trust me I am not.
if you think that blacks only faced 76 years of racism in this country and that all we do is whine, then you might just be a racist.

Just do the math.........

There was NO USA before 1789. Slavery was abolished in 1865.

Before that time you would have to blame England, Spain, France, and Germans.

I am discussing slavery where racism is blamed on the USA govt.

Blacks are racist among themselves, and today.

Real African born blacks are not very fond of whiney American blacks.

Don't bother accusing me of being a racist. I am and so is every other person alive on the planet.

You claim you are not, but you can't prove it can you!

I thought we (CD) have already established that non black Africans speaking for black Africans was not a reliable source. also, what about all the racism AFTER slavery?

I can prove it. racism is very specific. it is:
1 The belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, esp. so as to distinguish it as superior
2 Prejudice or discrimination directed against someone of a different race based on such a belief.
I may be prejudice at times. biased. but I am not racist.

I'm guilty of not reading all 11 pages, so forgive me if someone else has already asked...

Why do white people call themselves "Caucasian," when it's doubtful that their ancestors came from anywhere near the Caucasus?

Most of them identify with Spanish colonial culture because neither know much about their people's heritage before that, and they could prefer the European Spanish culture. And also with most of them it can be as simple as that's just the term they grew up with, it's the commonly accepted term they know, I'm part Mexican and I grew up calling myself Hispanic because that's the word my mom always used and everyone responded too.

I think it's probably just the word that was given to them, they had similar features and all.

Contact you? When and where have I done that? I have never contacted you!!! I merely reply to yours and other's posts in here. If you don't want to read my posts then put me on ignore. It's that simple. Stalking you? What the hell are you talking about? I must have really hit a nerve of truth with you for you to make such false claims about me.
