Can We Stop With The Racism Complaints?

Okay, can we stop using whites as the universal scapegoats for anything that goes wrong? This is absurd. For example, whites used to own slaves. Okay, I get it. That's bad. But just about EVERY OTHER CIVILIZATION HAD SLAVES! Now I don't see people going around saying stuff like, "OMG the Spaniards had slaves that's super racist!" Why? Because that's "Holding their past against them." But somehow even though I've never had a slave I'm guilty for what other whites did many many years ago. How does that make sense? That itself is racist because whites are the only ones who get the blame for this stuff. There were even black slave owners in the U.S. but will people tell you that? No! Because once again that's holding blacks accountable for the sins of their ancestors and it'd be racist to hold that against them. Also it was the north that was so apposed to slavery and set them free! Whites also helped out with things like the Underground Railroad but once again we don't get credit for anything positive we did, only the wrong things that we did. What makes this entire thing so stupid is the fact that the only thing that makes us different from each other is a little bit of skin pigmentation. That's it. And somehow because I'm born with lighter skin than other people I'm all of the sudden guilty for all of this stuff that a bunch of people did years ago. There's no such thing as 'white pride' because then everyone else would complain about all of the bad stuff we did and take us on a guilt trip. Let's be honest here, the real racism is here, but it gets no media recognition because that wouldn't fuel enough hate for them. So can we stop being babies over this whole stupid ordeal and stop recognizing each other by skin color instead of character? For those who didn't read all of this basically people need to get over their pasts and tiny differences and man up for the greater good.

  • The US doesn't care about global slavery. Only slavery in American history. That's why, if people cared about slavery in general then history would be different. Also do you think they should get over it when it affects generations? Your parents and your children? The end of this last century black life improved but that doesn't mean it recovers them from how they started off In the race. Did you know Vietnam war veteran families are more likely to be poor than average citizens? They came home without any degrees or their jobs taken. Their children are now likely to end up like their parents due to the cycle of poverty. If you were an old man and saw how you couldn't afford to help your child, would you just forgive the government then and there?
