    Native Americans were not a small population, lol........the Native American genocide was by far way worse than what Blacks went through. Native Americans numbered in the tens of millions according to most historians, and they were enslaved before Blacks were in America. They not only suffered enslavement in their own land, they were butchered and killed off like mice. ? is beyond sad and horrifying if you really think about it.
    it does seem, however, that you are giving a misleading version of what killed off the majority of Native Americans

    killing native american indians in a few years is not worst than a masscre that lasted for hundreds of years

    the conflicts with the natives continued into the 1970's, stupid.
    They wont even tell blacks who they really were from Ancient times until before slavery.
    they who? school? biology classes teach that all humans came from africa after evolving from simpler apes. blacks are clearly informed about being from africa.

    stop dressing like a Jedi, stop ? on street corners, and get a real job, you wack hebrew isrealites.

    10 million? That's higher than what I heard but assuming you are right, TENS of millions of Native Americans were killed off in their own land. Not just that, they lost two continents to white folk. At least Africa is still run by Black people, Native Americans really don't have much control over their land anymore.

    the arabs started before the white people.

    i think the article below gives a conservative estimate considering the number of africans who died from diseases the europeans were carrying.

    .

    This is NOT true. Some proponents of anthropology and Darwinism teach that.

    There is no monolithic acceptance of evolution among biologists. In fact, many are rejecting evolution as it presented to the public.

    "The fact of evolution is the backbone of biology, and biology is thus in the peculiar position of being a science founded on an unproved theory -- is it then a science or faith? Belief in the theory of evolution is thus exactly parallel to belief in special creation - Doctor L. Harrison Matthews in his introduction of the 1971 edition of "Origin of Species"

    says who? what basis do u have for any pert of that statement? these self-destructive kids out here dont think about slavery or anything else historical. they are angry about what the world is now. they believe the lie that they are equal and "everything's fine now" but the ugly truth finds a way of touching their lives. it ios this contradiction that causes self-destructive anger. if they knew their history they would know the base character of the u.s. and would not be surprised at whats going on now. funny how u only pop up on subjects such as these.if u are so worried about black people not being angry i suggest u reserve ur ? opinion when black folks are talking about ? that doesnt pertain to u.

    No disrespect to aboriginal plight But ....guess what Native Americans gained from Whitefolk, when they were trying to non-violently seduce natives for their Land??



    ? & Black Slaves.



    That's a fact, and not opinion, and should clear up which Race of People had it worse and still are the worst treated Race, in America

    I wouldn't say that.... Yes black people are still treated badly in America at times, but not any worse than other minorities except maybe asians like chinese/korean/japanese/thai etc.

    He's kinda right though. If we constantly cry about what our ancestors went through or what white people did to us in the past, we waste a ? ton of energy that could be put towards bettering our futures and maybe one day achieving equality. White people aren't just gonna give us equality, we have to fight for it every day, and achieve it by making something significant out of ourselves. We aren't gonna do that by pitying ourselves for the past.

    That being said I understand that our kids do need to grow up knowing who they are and why they are the way the are, but living in the past aint gonna fix the future.

    And not ALL white people are horrible or racist, and not everything is a "set up" to hold us back. At least 75% of white people i have met aren't racist, they may be ignorant because they have never been familiarized with non-white people, but they aren't racist. A human baby isn't born with the concept of racism.

    well, with that first part i hope ure just speaking in general because im most def not crying about it and when its all said and done the whole thing could not have jumped of without africans selling out other africans. there is more detail to that but i dont feel like doing all that typing right now cause im cooking.....

    and if u were brought up in western culture, you cannot help but to be racist. racism is not what is killing us though...its a lack of love and moral responsibility at the root of it all.

    Since I have a functioning brain, I know that anger leads to crime against that which one is angry at.

    Anger and crime/violence are in harmony. Anger over such as slavery explains a lot of crime statistics.

    STUPID/SORRY kids show their anger "at the world" by tormenting [or killing] some total stranger they just happen to encounter. No matter the colors involved. However, currently it is generally stupid Black kids tormenting/killing some randomly encountered White person.

    Same young Black thugs also torment [or ? ] any Black youth that tries to be studious and law abiding. The kind of young [generally] Black thugs that claim the studious Black kid is "acting White" and being an "uncle Tom" for declining to admire and emulate thugs/gangsters and criminals in general.

    "Pop" Black culture has defined being "authentically Black" as being criminal.

    Instead of believing the lie that all Whites hate them just cause they are Black and it's no use trying to learn and be honest and the smartest thing you can do is be a thug/criminal/gangster,... and that currently living Whites deserve to be hurt cause of all the bad things some Whites have done to some Blacks since time began.

    [never mind the bad Blacks have done to other Blacks, and to Whites, and the bad Whites have done to other Whites,...
    IOW - never mind that "all have sinned"

    Yea I do tend to pop up for threads that incite anger at ME due to some wicked deeds committed by others.

    And threads that lie by claiming I got some special advantage just by being white,...
    and that since I got this special advantage, then I should now be penalized by such as "affirmative action."

    And the whole lie that Islamic slavery was fine and dandy, while American slavery was the worst example of wickedness the world has ever seen is disgusting.

    Never mind that White PROTESTANT dominated America had a big debate about slavery, .... had a war partially over slavery and ended legal slavery over a hundred years ago.

    While the EXAMPLE of Mohammed HIMSELF still TODAY justifies/blesses slavery.

    ? . Most people who commit crimes are not thinking of slavery. Particularly the younger generation. Most of them don't know and don't care. That is why they are not bothered by white peoples use of the word ? .

    Wrong. And you lie. Most Blacks commit crimes against other blacks. I wish it were so.............

    How a old wrinkly ? leaning ? can know so much about black people without actually knowing any is beyond me. There is no such thing as Pop Black culture. It just Black people taking on the worst of white culture. I.e, gang banging, drug selling, drive by, promiscuity, thievery, faggotry, gambling, prostitution, etc...


    d that since I got this special advantage, then I should now be penalized by such as "affirmative action."

    White women benefited more than blacks from affirmative action.

    Lie.

    White protestants argued over the value of slavery, not the institution. Most of those devils were do so for economic reasons.

    Thats cool that You've posted opinion, where I posted the fact that Blacks are still by far, the worst treated Race in America...there are multitudes of national plateaus to verify that, in any facet of America which we could dare to quantify.

    Even with the native Americans today, I challenge you to show one Black ravaged community, being allowed to rake in billions of dollars Off of reservation-type casinos...for uplifting our communities and empowering our people with monetary base to make power moves in this nation.





    This could be viewd as contradicting, or aimless, considering you write certain racist treatment off as "should be left in the past" as you then drop further scholarship which shows you clearly understand that that racist treatment is not in the Past, at all, and is still very much apart of the greed and hatred making up America's fabric today.





    Again I can appreciate your posting this, your opinion, but many Blacks here prefer to deal in facts, truths, and actual chain of events which show the tru America....

    For instance, it doesn't matter that all Whites are not racist.

    No, not when they still factually reap the benefits of a racist society which anoints them with undeserved Privileges......if they do not denounce that privilege nor it's unfair benefits, then by default, they are holding us back and holding back equality's progress which seeks to...

    reward those non-Whites who are higher-qualified or more-deserving, of that reward or merit or upward mobility.

    Let me get one thing straight here. I do understand that blacks get treated badly, and i do understand that racism is alive and kicking real strong still. I experience it just like anybody else on here. I'm trying to make a few points though:

    1. Blacks are NOT treated worse than any other minority. How do i know this? because i've first hand experienced it. I'm not black (technically I am of African descent, but thats another discussion), but i look blacker than most black people in America, so to any black white or latino person on the street, i'm black, and i get treated as such. And i know what its like. But some of my family doesn't look black, and i've seen how they get treated, and it isn't any better. The reason the "data" may make it seem like blacks get treated worse is because there just isn't a large enough population of other races here to collect valid data. There aren't arab communities, arab's are interspersed everywhere, so no one studies how they are actually treated. There aren't indian communities, we make up less than 1% of the population, so no one studies how we are treated either. So the only races that are even compared are black, latino, and white.

    2. I don't see how i'm contradicting myself. What i'm saying is that yes, we should understand our past, what happened to our forefathers, and how they were mistreated. But we should also not pity ourselves over it and consume ourselves by the thought of it. We have to move forward, and the only way we gonna do that is by not focusing on our past hinderances, and instead focusing on our future goals. Why can't we be like white people in some ways? Why can't we focus on the value of our kids education from the time they are young, and not focus on how fresh they look or how "hard" they are? Why can't we learn to not have kids until we are 100% sure we are ready to stand by them, and raise em properly? Why can't we stop beefing over stupid ? and instead use our energy to get up out of the situations we are in and get to a better place? Thats what i dont get...

    3. "Forgive but don't forget." Can any of you honestly say that if you were born white, you would actively try to forsake your benefits just to prove that you aren't racist? Just because a white man doesn't do anything to help black people doesnt mean he hates black people either. We gotta understand that. A lot of people are just neutral, they dont care if we succeed or fail. Theyre not racist, they're just apathetic. I been through some nice suburbs, and ive seen the black kids in those schools, and they have white friends, and they get good educations, and white people treat them just like they treat each other. The problem is, those are the minority of black people, and most black people aren't able to get themselves into those situations. Yes some white people are racist ? , but most aren't, and they aren't solely to blame for our problems

    youre not black, your skin may be dark but youre in america voluntarily and you have your own culture

    you prolly claim white on your census records, arabs do too,cause indians and arabs are classified as caucasian, so your whole post was irrelevant, you get benefits black americans will never see

    as black americans, our grandparents can tell us about the real life true american racism, ? aint some distant history lesson for us

    american segregation ended only a few decades ago bruh, you and your entire family dont know nuthin about that, so you cant say ? about how black people have been treated in america

    real talk tho, why we gotta be classified by race if race doesnt matter?

    cause it does matter. The immigrants come here after being upper middle class in their home country, get loans and benefits set aside specifically for immigrants,mark white on all their paperwork while pretending to be "down" with us, then look down on black people without knowing the societal factors leading to the results

    these people open stores in our neighborhoods and ? , makin money off us



    People like heyslick would like what the indian guy posted, his ? white ass is scared of (black) flash mobs coming to his hick ass county

    thats how white people are, politically correct when necessary but in actuality, not much as changed in the attitudes of whites since jim crow besides ir dating and affirmative action, white people for the most part are fake as hell,same for the immigrants who side with them on their paperwork then criticize blacks
