When a white skinned person left there masters they were totally excepted by the white comunity No Questions asked. Blacks had patiently waited 100 yrs & then had to Protest their treatment by whites! BIG Difference all cause of the color of their skin! Even today there are still whites that hate blacks! & Slavery been over for what 150 yrs!
The Difference is YOUR GMa WAS White they were Not Slaves! They were Repaying the people for their Passage to the new world & They Knew that as soon as the Bill was paid/contract filled they were FREE! Blacks Worked till they died & even their Children were Slaves. There was No end for Blacks! All bcause of the Color of their skin.... Even if they got their freedom they were sometime sold back into slavery here in the US tracked by bounty hunters. And Whites never wanted to be around them... no respect.
FYI...the first legally recognized slave owner in the USA was a black man.
GMa= Grand mother... I am on topic! Treat them better & dont teach your children that different colored people are different & hopefully in a few generations Maybe they can forgive!
It needs to be recognized, first, both that slavery was not a uniquely American institution, and that the debate over the slave trade goes back well before even Revfolutionary times. Political journals, many of them British, regarding the concern over slavery can be found at most major libraries.
Those who rant about "expolitation" should also recall that many, in fact most, of the white immigrants who came here were the descendants of people held in serfdom.
And that the last organized governments to officially outlaw slavery were certain Muslim emirates in the Arabian and Persian Gulf, in the late Nineteenth Century (Source, Alan Moorherad The Whte Nile). And that efforts to re-institute de facto slavery continue to be uncovered in places like Darfur to this day.
The immorality did not start with white people, and the calls for apologies and reparations are just the usual caterwauling, by the usual supects over there in LeftyLand.

The problem I see is alot of hate all around not just by one race. I don't see the issue topday as just one race at fault for the rase problems anymore than others treated badly in the past which includes alot of americans whose ancetors left their native coutnries. Hate breds hate is what I have seen.Its lie Crimes of the father ;really.
