That's the biggest crock of **** I have read in this thread and that's saying something. The slave trade that brought your supposed ancestors to America was perpetrated by Muslims and African royalty. Did white euros play a role in the slave trade? Absolutely. But that nonsense you are spewing either tells me someone brainwashed you with fiction. Or you are perpetrating a lie in an effort to justify your anger and hatred. And oh by the way, the slave trade still occurs in those very same areas today. You and Colin need to retake a World History course not taught by an agenda driven liberal professor.
Dude get some help.Good. I'm glad you brought this up.
Yes, sports is one area where black people are stereotypical viewed as better. That we are bigger, stronger, faster, etc. Usually the words used are dehumanizing in nature. For example, athletes are described as "beasts" on the field.
Now reverse that sentiments for every other walk of life. That is white supremacy. The belief that white people are intellectually or morally superior to black people.
I have a problem with the racist nature at which black athletes are talked about. If you have a problem with that as well, why not have a problem with the way we're treated in every other walk of life?
Free your mind.What does that have to do with white people creating racism?
You guys don't get it. Slavery isn't the problem that still affects us today. Its RACISM. No american living today has ever been slave. No american living today has ever been a slave owner. Slavery by itself has no relevance to our modern society.
The only reason it still looms large is because white people in this country decided to do something that has never happened before in human history. They decided to tie slavery with skin color. Before the trans-atlantic slave trade, there were white slaves, black slaves, asian slaves, etc. Slavery was not tied to race. Ancient Greece had slavery. Ancient Rome had slavery. Yet today there is no stigma left from slavery in those societies because slavery was not tied to race.
The problem here in America is white people decided that only black people could be slaves. Thus tying slavery with skin color for the first time human history. That is why black people living today still live with the stigma of slavery and why white people living today live with the stigma of being slave owners. Even though no one living today is either.
Racism + Slavery is the problem. Slavery by itself means nothing.

I'm actually reading this. A guy actually thinks white people invented racism out of thin air. And that racism is only 500 years old. He really thinks racism wasn't a think before a few hundred years ago.
This. Is. Awesome.
Oh, and which doll did you choose, d4h?
Never did that experiment but when I was young I wanted to white. I was ashamed to black as a elementary student. Especially during February when they would teach us Slavery History Month...oops I mean Black History Month.
It wasn't until middle school when I began independently researching TRUE BLACK HISTORY beyond the garbage they teach us at school that I became PROUD to be black. I studied the great works of men like Ivan Van Sertima, John Henrik Clarke, and Chancellor Williams.
Before I educated myself on our true history I was the typical coon. I hated being black. Believed all the negative stereotypes that were being drilled into my head by the media and school. I wanted to be white because I thought white people were superior.
Thankfully that's not me anymore. But unfortunately that's true for many other black people who were not able to educate themselves like I was.
Oh my mind is free don't worry. I don't suffer from an inferiority complex anymore. I've educated myself.
I'm just speaking for the rest of my people that are still mentally enslaved. Unfortunately they haven't been WOKEN like I have. Or like Colin Kaepernick has.
