Nice spin and chopping of my statement. Why do you think white people are greeted warmly and with hugs when the attend services at Trinity? Is that treatment consistent with people who have been taught to hate white people?
Its perfectly consistent with it. May not be true, but its perfectly consistent with subterfuge, just like the SNL land shark "candygram".
Justified? No. The source was Africans who captured and sold other Africans into slavery. Had that not happened, Black slavery in the U.S. would not have been possible.
There are people today who sell drugs, just because its sold, do you thinks it honorable, or moral to buy it?
For the bigots here on C-D, I suggest you watch this video. And do not scoff at me or it. If you do so and brush me off, then you've proven my point and the point of Jane Elliot in said video.
Why do people always talk about us Blacks moving back to Africa (EVEN THOUGH WE WERE BROUGHT HERE), but never talk about Whites going back to Europe?
Instead of actually LISTENING and learning/talking about the issues, people like you deny they exist and instead offer the solution of going to Africa, which has also been colonized by Europeans, in case you didn't know. Africa has been screwed over as well, and you've got bigotry coming from Europeans.
Anytime a Black person speaks up about the injustices we face in this country, they're called a ni**er, told to shut up, be grateful they're an American (LOL), or go back to Africa. It's always a problem. People are more pissed about Kaepernick kneeling during the racist national anthem than the police continuing to get away with taking Black lives and other issues within the community.
Why is it okay and encouraged for people to never forget 9/11, but an annoyance and an issue when people bring up the topic of slavery? Why do we have to move on from slavery and forget it, but not from 9/11? There is no getting over slavery. That was a period of almost 250 years of HIGHLY severe mistreatment, when we were considered 3/5 of a human, forced into free labor, chained, whipped, raped, sold like cattle, forced to forget our African tongues and culture, beaten, etc. So slavery ended in 1865. What about the next century of bulls**t Blacks had to face in this country? Lynchings (people actually held picnics to celebrate the lynching of another ni**er), police brutality (which STILL continues), getting hosed down, sicking dogs on us, homes and churches getting burned down, receiving absolutely NO justice (Emmett Till, anyone?), segregation that actually harmed us, forced to give up our seats on buses, forced to sit in the back of the bus, punished for protesting and marching for our equality... You get the point. Shall we get into the 70's, 80's, and 90's?
People like you expect things to be peachy-keen for Blacks in this country, despite multiple centuries of abuse, hatred, torture, mistreatment, deep-rooted racism, and injustice. You think we're supposed to fully bounce back from something horrible that lasted THAT long? It doesn't work like that. There is no getting over the past. Just look at the Native Americans. Racism and hatred is passed through the generations. But until we see changes in the system, the core of the matter, we will continue to see injustice. That can't happen until people start to recognize and admit the issues exist, and we've got a lot of people on these forums alone who just can't do that.
Girl, preach! (It sucks that I have to spread more love before giving you rep)

Yes, ma'am! I can't rep you anymore either lol. Your content is always on point.
Some of these people think we're playing, like we're making stuff up and actually want to be thought of as less. Our issues are REAL. Some people need to be hit with the reality stick.
I know, that part always cracks me up with its stupidity. "Go back to Africa" to people whose great-great-grandparents were born in New Jersey.
Stupid indeed, and then you have to wonder why someone would say "Go Back To Africa".
