yellow, black or white they are precious in his sight, Jesus loves the little children of the world. it's "red and yellow black and white" otherwise it breaks the rythym Jesus loves the little children of the world I stand corrected! Thanks, I knew I was forgetting something there, just decided to go with it anyways.

if it was not for whites then slavery would still be instituted slavery was a practiced procedure of warring tribes for many centuries and some entrepreneurs seen an opportunity to exploit this situation to make cash after said tribes captured their slaves and sold them to the slave trader (who may or may not have been white) the fact remains that they were already slaves before the trader became involved and many whites seen the injustice that this was and it was abolished (yes it took a long time after all the human is a cruel and greedy being) but slavery would still be practiced if not for those that fought it (and most were white) why is it no one mentions the name john brown when complaining about the injustices that slavery instituted could it be because he was a leading advocate to end slavery or is it because he was white

from what 've read the original slavers were Arabic and it was the coastal Africans capturing the inland Africans to sell Most of the slave ships to the New World were Spanish and Portgugese and about 80% of the slaves went to Cuba, Hispanola, and Brazil. Only a small percentage came to Amerca as part of the Rum Triangle. but that doesn't matter much now

Since we are human and made in his image (according to most) we must all be the color of god.

Black white, whatever. We all bleed red. Race is just one more fake tribalism tactic to keep the people fighting each other and the elite enslaving all the easier. yep its all divide and conquer.

I'm white, it doesn't make you any more likely to advance. Advancement is too often about kissing someone else's butt, and I don't do it.

this is my two cents about slavery. It is true that slavery had existed long before the "slave trade", however for the most part it was a system of indentured servitude. In fact in Africa, Greece, Rome and other countries they were even allowed to own property, marry into the families they served and even hold office. The slavery that we know, was so insidious because it striped people of their humanity. I am frankly tired of people using the fact that tribe sold other tribes as a pass for what was they did. And it makes absolutely no sense to give credit to anyone for righting something that was wrong to begin with. Lastly on the subject of guilt. Riddle me this, how often have you felt guilty about something you don't think, feel or engage in?

Any human with any feelings at all knows that there have been wrongs done over skin color in this country. Starting with the native Americans so on and so forth and sadly it continues today. To be ashamed of your fellow whites who perpetrate these crimes against others is only normal. To allow it to happen in your presence is the sin or crime, however you want to put it. If every white person or person of any color would stop those around them from perpetrating prejudice and discrimination, it would stop. It is because people let others do it and do nothing that makes it the problem it still is today. There are whites who have been brought up with prejudice and do not even know they perpetrate it. I have heard this happens with other races also. To make the point and show them that they are being hateful is sometimes the best thing one can do for them.

It is about the inequities that still exist today. And the superiority complex of some whites that make them think the white way is the one and only true American way.

Would it make you feel better to know, that George Washington's second in command (kinda) was his slave, that rode side by side with him. He even had his own horse!
