even tho slavery wasnt unique to the us they are one of the few western countries that didnt abolish it til later on. The british abolished it in 1807 but u yanks went and had a war over it.
Please don't call me a yankee, American is fine, but I am not a yankee it's not an epithet that see myself as...I find it to be a really ugly word, and depending on who it's coming from it can be used in a derogatory manner so do me a favor and don't call me a yank.
So even though the Arabs and Africans had slaves for years before the way the western countries industrialised it onto such a big scale was very cruel so dont just assume that the us are such a nice country when it comes to racism.
It wasn't just Arabs and Africans thousands of civilizations had slaves it was very common to have slaves, it was absolutely nothing new, I wasn't referring to any single group so don't assume you know who or what I am referring too. Western countries (like the U.S) didn't British and other European had enormous stakes in the control for the territories, and "states" that existed. So to imply that it was the Americans (it's obvious what you meant by Western countries, since you started out calling me a Yank) fault for slavery is wrong.
Now for some reason you think I said The U.S was a peechy-keen country when it comes to racism. I didn't say that at all. I only said that His opinion on why racism exist so harshly in America doesn't make the most of sense when many other countries had slavery, some equal to that of the U.S even, are handling and more accepting of each other racial differences then here in the U.S so it can't just be because of the civil war that racism exist it. You may have thought I was defending the United States saying that racism doesn't exist or something along that lines, but I wasn't I myself am a black minority and are well aware of the racism that exist.
If you re-read it I was actually saying that exact opposite of what you said I was saying.
In the UK i have no problem walking the streets but once in America s[o]m[e] dumb redneck shouted at me callin me a n**** jus[t] cos i'm black.
the terms redneck and the N-word are very offensive to me, and other people so I would ask you to please refrain from saying the words with out some sort of censor, calling people rednecks isn't very respectful so don't, it's derogatory.
[Saying the N-word] is why lots of blacks especially Americans dont like white people cos even though u lot say u r all for equality u still dont like black people.
You do realize your being very pre-judice right now your making assumptions about my character and about who i am without actually knowing, it's hard to have a civil argument with soemone who is spewing random hateful messages in his post so please reconsider the way you are speaking to me with the new information about myself I have presented, and reconsider why saying the things you did isn't very respectful to anyone your speaking too.
A lot of Black Americans don't like white Americans because Of a variety of things it's not just because of the past it's because of racial intolerance on both sides in the present. I don't know what you mean by "You lot" but if you mean Americans you forget that back people who are from America are Americans too so saying that "you lot" don't like black people doesn't make any sense. If you meant white Americans, then well you're being very prejudice by grouping white people as some evil entity that hate black people when the majority don't at all. And if you are British like you seem to be, then you are being racist towards Americans by calling groups of people in our country out of their name, and assuming such terrible things [about all white people hating blacks] about all of them. All in all I really don't know why you took such a harsh, irrational, and pre-judice tone with me when you clearly knew nothing about me.
why do u think that people are saying that if Obama becomes president he will be assassinated cos u have loadsa racist people in ur country
yea there are a lot of racist people in our country it would redudant to say that I know there are because I've said so 3 times now, but I must say that the realistic odds of him being assassinated is low, it's very improbable that such a thing will happen.
Please don't assume things about anyone you posting to it's very inappropriate, especially if you are accusing them and using such offensive epithets, and other low blow comments.
