I aint racist at all by any means but when the historical facts are left out it kinda peeves me when we take the heat for all of it.

Keev i completely agree.A lot of africans were sold by their own people for salt and silk.My problem is that this country was built upon slavery and yet and still people act like its not.Case and point,our nation literally split between people who wanted to be rich and keep slavery and people who thought that everyone regardless of color was equal.African americans were considered 3/4 of a person in america better yet lets go back to the original deal here.Africans were under the impression that there were going to be here for 7 years to help start a country(ever heard of indentured slaves).The deal was that we were to come here and after 7 years would be free.Well cotton was flowing and thriving and the South didnt want to let the slaves go and therefore the war started.Im 100% against anyone of any color getting a handout all im saying is if the playing field was level the mentality of most minorities and people of all colors would have a different mentality..think about it
