Using Civil Rights to commit Civil Wrongs

Anyone who lived through the late 50’s and the entire 1960s knows that the Civil Rights movement was a moral and righteous pursuit to get White America to live up to its highest ideas embodied in the American Revolution and Thomas Jefferson’s words written in the Declaration of Independence that, “All men are created equal.”

For roughly two hundred and fifty years,1619-1863, Africans who were brought to America unwillingly and forced to work as subhuman, property of slave master owners. Then approximately one hundred years, 1865-1965, after that Blacks were officially treated as an inferior Race by the government of the United States of America.

Fighting these injustices was the official work of the Civil Rights movement. These injustices where exclusive to Africans brought to the United States against their will and their posterity who were made to work as slaves for about two hundred and fifty years and treated as subhuman for another one hundred years of Jim Crow.

No other Race has this relationship with the United States of America, not Indians, not Chinese, not Mexican. Not one.

What about racism TODAY.
Right now, Africans are STILL involved in slavery.
muslims, too.
Most folks who claim to be damaged by the stain of an event that happened hundreds of years ago can’t remember what they had for breakfast 3 days ago.
Racism has simply become an excuse, and black folks don’t need an excuse as they are quite capable of screwing up on their own...

So you are suggesting that another group went through 250 years of chattel slavery and 150 years of Jim Crow racial discrimination here in the United States?

Please name that group... I’m waiting...

Please attempt to stay on topic. We are attempting to discuss how groups TODAY misuse and abuse civil rights claims in order to claim rights which they are not entitled.

We are not debating slavery! Come on man!
