To phatcat yankee isnt a bad word and i called u a yank anyway u lot call us brits similar equivalent things which dont offend me so dont be so touchy about it.Its like calling me a limey or wotever i dont care.
Your being pre-judice about me eand making false accusations. I don't call people brits, and I've nevr heard of a limey before. Is that the only thing you know how to do is categorize everyone into one group and say it's what they all do? regardless of what you think it means I told you why I don't want you to call me that so respect that and don't. Yankee does not describe who I am accurately so don't call me it, and I don't like being called something I don't agree with. So stop.
I am not saying that the us was the only western country with slaves ,spain, holland, britain lots of countries had a hand in it cos it made them loadsa$ but i am saying that usa had a war over it because they cared so much about it but no other did. But i stand by my point that Britain abolished it in 1807 showing how much better about it the uk was.
Again go back an Re-read what I said, since you seem to want to make up your own points about what I said in attempt to skew my argument.I never said you said Americans were the only countries that had slaves. I wasn't even directly addressing you, I was explaining my first post since you misread it entirety the first time. Not once did I say you said Americans were the only western country with salves. Slavery was NOT the only reason for Civil War. The North and the South were fighting over economic power. You see the industrious north was doing far better than the farming south. More immigrants migrated to the north, and if you know anything about economic theory competition emerged and innovation arrived which increase economic prosperity of the north. The south literally depended on slaves, they worked the lands they made the souths main form of economic prosperity viable. It wasn't just because white people were racist, it was because they were defending there way of life.
Do you honestly believe that Europe had absolutely no confrontations over slavery and psuedo-slavery? Ever heard of serfdom, it was became blatant slavery starting 1848. there were many who sought to protect serfdom. There were indeed confrontation of slavery in Europe as well don't be naive.

I used the term redneck because his neck was red as they get. Also im not using the word nigga in an offensive way im quoting wot the guy sed to me, its not a word i normally use.
Don't bullshit me, you were not using red as an adjective to describe his physical appearance. And even though you not trying to be offensive by using the N-word, I and many others find the use of the word at all offensive, and will say the N-word when I need to refer to it.
To ur next oint il say what i want its my opinion so b quiet.
Your opinion was based on pre-judice you literally called me a racist by saying "you lot say u r all for equality u still don't like black people." I have a right to challenge any of your opinions even if you don't like it. If you can't defend your opinion then I've only proved a point.
Opinions that are based on mis-information, logical fallacies, and prejudice aren't very strong. You can't just all white Americans are racist just because you want to think they are. Anymore than I can say all British people are stupid because, my interaction with one British guy made me feel he was stupid. It doesn't make sense. Make sound opinions and you wont have anything to be worried about.
Also if u go to a country where u get attacked for being black fight back and then you get charged for the fight its not exactly a good first impression is it.
Sorry that happened I can see how you would be hesitant, but that doesn't justify saying all white Americans are racist.
And i wasnt takin the tone with you personally.
That can be true since you grouped me in with "you lot" you were obviously referring to me and people like me when you thought I was white.
My older bro went 2 jail 4 dealin and so i get stopped a lot by the police who prejudge me thinkin im a criminal like my bro who was only doin it so he could feed me and my sista and as i guess ur wealthy u dont understand how hard it is to get a good job wen u liv on an estate wiv no hopes of gettin a gud job or nuffin like dat. Also when someone says u lot by grouping them it just shortens me saying racist white americans obviously black americans arent included.
Your digging your own grave my friend. Again you called me rich and wealthy based on some weird pre-judice you have of me. why you would assume I was rich I have no idea. "You lot" does not shorten it for you to say racist white Americans. and every time you've said it you've included me in that group. Without knowing if I'm racist. So in essence you were calling me a racist, you lot mean "All you people"so saying that you only meant to imply racist whites when your argument said "you all" doesn't make sense. you can't group people for the sake of ease.
And to ur last point think about it martin luther king, malcolm x, tupac lots of black americans who have reached positions of power have been killed so what makes obama different. And mebe u think cos hes president he wont b killed but lotsa presidents have been killed too.
I said it was improbable, meaning it's unlikely. Your not American, you don't know what life is like over here. Obama has been publicly in the open for 2 years now, if people really wanted to kill them they could've easily done it by now, why wait until he gets into office to kill someone you don't think can run a country, and represent you.
To ur last point im posting my opinion u post urs if u dont like it say what u like but u cant tell me not to post what i want.
You can't have an argument based on pre-judice and false information it doesn't work like that. no matter how much you want it to it wont. you can't say the things you said because you think it to be true when it's not. It's just your prejudice anyone else can tell you that.
btw im guessin u r from a nice neighbourhood and havent experienced any 1st hand racism like i have so think about the perspective u r viewing it from. Me a working class english boy whos bin to america once and wen he did he was attacked by southern redneck white people and from ur point of view
Hey guess what you can afford to visit america? then your obviously not that poor, so stop acting like it. I can't afford to leave my state let alone my country. You can't play the "Class" card when the person you are saying is something isn't and when he has definently experienced things you can't even imagine.
So again make arguments that are based on facts not what you think it is.
