Not even the Romans were as racist as the European counterparts. They had slaves but they often allowed slaves to buy their freedom and even allowed slaves to elevate their status regardless of their skin color. However the other Europeans did not allow this type of equality. It is mainly the white race who dominate the world and the resources of the world thus making them the sole responsibility of all the problems in the world!!! Fact!
This is also true of many other races/cultures, Chinese, Japanese, Some African tribes still fight, defeat and oppress their neighbors. It is the way it was in those days. Greed for power and money is what fuels aggression of this type and no race/culture is immune to it. I believe it is human nature to dominate and control, it has been going on since the beggining of time.I also believe, if Blacks in Africa where as advanced as White Europeans, they may have very well been the ones invading and conquering, oppressing other lands/people. Greed has no boundries. BTW, African (pick a country) history on human rights is horrendous!

Well I will tell you one thing, its turning off a lot of people who voted for Obama. I never thought he was the best candidate anyway. I wanted Hillary. It does get old that the right panders to the crazy nuts who think the earth is six thousand years old and the left panders to gun grabbers and the lets give legal status to illegals. Both are bat crap crazy.

If you go to a corporate sponsored diversity workshop, given by a brand name diversity consultant group, you might be told that, 'white men are the most dangerous kind'.

So temper that 'white people' talk.....

Yep, 'how to win friends and influence people......"

Do not dare me anything, i am not ashame to talk to my friends, about anything or them me, that is why we are friends.

I have been friends with them a long long time, as far as i am aware of, i have not known them to experience racism with police, or in stores or shopping that we have talked about. The friendship that we do have, i do not think sincerely, they would keep something like that from me.

I think this world has too much damn racist people, and something we all need to get over. Racism is a funny thing, you can be and not even be aware of it.

I doubt the one has at all, he works in Vegas at one of the top Casinos there, and has a very very high positition, how do you think, i get to see free shows, and enjoy my time with he and his wife and my hubby. It is fun to get away and visit with them, but someplace i would not want to live, to crowded for me.

Now if you want me to be really honest with you, my gay friends experience way more racism towards them then my black, what do you say about that. My gay friends expreince much mor negativity towards them, and people show their feelings still towards gays.

Don't dare this Italian ever, i am not ashame of my friends, or being sincere and to the point with them.
So gay is a race now? Look man you don't understand racism until you understand oppression. Same thing with witnessing and being the victim of such. It's not too much racist people, its just this world is cold and dirty. How do you feel about the invasion of the Middle East and the invasion of Africa? Even the Vietnam War? How do you feel about Haiti's position in the World after knowing its history? It's just not racism in the US its all over the world. That's what I'm getting at. And last but not least how do you feel about the Media and its perception of the world and the states?

Obviously, we need to talk about the history behind our world and get those skeletons out of the closet. But frankly, I don't like the mindset that has propelled the whole discussion about racism. Yes, is there racism and hate in the Western World? Damn skippy, and it's disgusting. But let's bring some facts here:

Name one other region of the world other than Europe where the indigenous population has opened it's doors to the poor and driven to come and settle from around the world. Name one non-european power that willingly retreated from it's colonial past, and has been as open about the horrors it's inflicted upon others. Name one other culture where despite it's idiots, has willingly stood up against itself to defend peoples of other heritages.

Is life in the US/The West perfect for minorites? absolutley not. There is still plenty of cultural bigotry and inequalites that should be addressed, but then again, I don't see too many posts about people wanting to move to non-white areas (Japan excluded). I see more Hatians willing to move to France than vice versa. So if whites are all hateful, genocidal monsters, then why is that? My "White" side of my family has hues ranging from Bush to Obama. My "White" mom took care of her "Tan" son when his "Black" dad didn't want anything to do with him. I guess she's a racist. And for all the talk about how Western Civlization is a blight upon humanity, how many of you would willingly leave the white, western world? *crickets*.

All of this talk about America's supposed "racism" started after Obama began to go lower in the polls, and is a ploy to shut up dissidents. It would be one thing if these threads genuinley sought to dissect what still needs to be done in society, but it seems mostly to create a climate of "If you don't agree w/ me, then you're a bigot".

I had to get that off my back, but let's try to have a little bit of honesty here for a change.

I am sick about everyone talking about skin color as if their is something new that we all come in difference shades of skin color. Tired of the race card being played every time someone says that Obama has some really left ideology ideas that are very radical... Sick of it!!

It is not the color I despise, but the absolute stupidity of the culture.

you want honesty and slavery during the 1600-1800's. sure thing, why dont you go look up who was selling the slaves to white slave traders. it was black africans selling black slaves to white slave traders. kind of a moot point there. slavery is a horrible thing, and it still exists today.

Your story remeinds me of another...

A mother and toddler are walking down the street[sidewalk] and the mother has the toddler by the hand. The toddler is bawling and carrying on all the way; when the two reach their destination, the mom turns to the kid and says "that wasnt so bad was it"?

Get my drift?
