Black history

[shadycon]

According to a black individual on this mornings new; This "country" owes us, this "country" brought us over here and enslaved us. I learned in history class that it was private slave traders bringing them to this country. Another example of the black community try to rewrite/erase the history.

been a common theme for years,


a lot of folks (of all colors) are lacking in their knowledge of history, both of that time, and current activities as well

And the private slave traders were merely middlemen who traded European goods, esp. firearms, to African kings & warlords who captured the slaves from enemy tribes; would have been impossible for a handful of whites to travel into the interior to capture them. All this erased from modern history teaching, because it's not PC.

And they have been paid back a hundred times over...

A hundred times is a lot, which means it should be easy to explain how. Because TBH I'm not seeing it. Welfare checks? Whites get them too. Welfare is not reparations. Welfare is paying people to stay poor and mostly quiet about being poor, which is about the size of it. Because poor people by themselves don't carry a lot of influence, which is how some people like it.

Blacks and whites have enough "guilt" to go around. Black's capturing other black and selling them as slaves to have what the white man had as trade goods. Freed blacks in America owning other blacks that is fact. There were cases of some blacks fighting for the Confederacy, some blacks willingly went with their owners who joined the Confederate Army and tended to the owners. "Entitled" people come in all colors of the rainbow, it is their thinking that makes them wrong. Corporations are afraid of being labeled racist and losing sales. If I remember right the real "Aunt Jemiah"[sp] was a freed black women who had developed the recipe for the mix and sold it to survive retiring a wealthy woman. Because a black person "serves" does not demean them, it just shows they are willing to work. Being a white man should I deny a black waiter to serve me? If so, is this racist now on my part? If a black person cannot serve a white person will there be a need for a business to retain the black waiter? When does it cease being racist and become stupid?
Should all wait staff be only white to not not "demean" the back race? Should blacks only be "allowed" be professional people and not blue collar? Where does this nonsense end?

You ask how!..A real stupid question! Welfare, government freebies, hiring breaks, far more per population percentage then any other races...And yes a hundred times more then other races per population.
I also mentioned how they got preference in hiring thru affirmative action hiring practices and lowing of the grades of exam's and hiring tests etc...
You say welfare is paying people to stay poor..No being paying to stay lazy..

No, by being given the opportunity of living HERE, as opposed to being back on the Dark Continent. If racial oppression is so intolerable HERE, they could go back to the Mother Country, but of course they know better. How many trapped on the Dark Continent now, or trying to escape into Europe, would give their right arm to be instead the descendant of an American slave?

Bzzt! Not welfare, we pre-debunked that. What about redlining? What about the kind of job discrimination that gets in under the radar?

Don't throw around 'hundred' and then get defensive ("stupid question") when someone calls you on it.

Indeed. Many a better qualified applicant has been passed over in order to meet a minority quota. My son-in-law, who is as Irish as Paddy's pig, was told he couldn't have been hired except that his mother is Puerto Rican, so he qualified as a minority.

I know a guy that is whiter than white, and dumb as a post,

he was unable to get into college,

then his family found out they had the same last name as the local Native American tribe, and he suddenly was Native American and got a full ride scholarship,


another guy I had as a customer worked for a company that did low volt wiring , (computer cables, etc for business, banks etc)
he boss had a hispanic last name, but was not hispanic , one of those married to someone years ago in his lineage,

he got a lot of jobs based on that,



another of my customers is a contractor, builds roads, highways etc,, shopping centers etc, does all the earth moving, landscaping etc,

he runs the business, and is teaching his son the ropes,
his wife is the official owner,

yep, woman owned business,



not really anything wrong with those examples, just shows how some can work the system

Think about this for a minute!

Poor Whites don't have the support, opportunities or political backing available to them that the black minorities have ... In fact Poor White's are less privileged over all then the poor blacks in this country.
White privilege you say..

Many African countries have acknowledged that the Slave Trade WAS a trade. The more militant and powerful tribes bartered their captives for the things they wanted-I read plows were much sought after, since those countries had little in the way of metal ores, etc.
Many of the Southerners I have known have no sympathy for and make no excuses for white trash, seeing them as responsible for their own behavior and problems.
