And then you have all the ones like my friend who weren't foreign born but 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and so on generation. Lot of generations to go back to. I doubt there's many people in the country whose ancestors did not choose to come here even among African-Americans.

At any rate we all came out of Africa anyway.

Africans coming to America do not consider themselves African Americans and neither do African Americans consider them African Americans. African Americans is not a race.....its a term that maps Descendants of enslaved Americans. Anyway, by your logic we can't say "blacks vote democrat".

An interesting definition that many would disagree with. Not sure what that has to do with voting.

If you thought that was funny, then you'll love this ...
How the word "racism" was born, and why it's important
"The first recorded use of the term “racialism” – which the OED regards as synonymous with “racism” – is given as being in the first decade of the 20th Century. Interestingly, the word was commonly used then in relation to the fraught relations between the Dutch and British ‘races’ in what later became the Union of South Africa. The first recorded use of “racism” meanwhile is listed as 1936 when it was used by Lawrence Dennis in The Coming American Fascism, and then again in 1938."

Social class
History and usage of the term
"The term class first came into wide use in the early 19th century, replacing such terms as rank and order as descriptions of the major hierarchical groupings in society. This usage reflected changes in the structure of western European societies after the industrial and political revolutions of the late 18th century."

People who where alive 160 years ago did not think in the terms we use today ... in fact much of what we do today, they would think (if they were alive today) is morally repulsive ... just saying, much of what we argue about, we invented it. A lot of wasted effort if you ask me, but okay.

Racism wasn't invented a word was just place to the issue of our ancestors irrationally hating other humans for having different cultural backgrounds.


BTW, my personal view is White Nationalists are White Supremacists. Just the same way that Black Nationalists are Black Supremacists. The only reason they would want a nation with only x people is because they believe x people is superior period.

hate - 27
white - 15

The message: white people hate, so you should hate white people.

You don't really think that numbers, out of context, mean anything, do you?

Well.....what is the impact of the local news hours showing the optics of "Blacks = Criminal"? I am sure more people are watching their local news......than watching PBS.
