I thought white people were evil. I was wrong. Whenever anyone mentions the historical atrocity of chattel slavery, white people will emerge from the dark crevices of humanity to gnaw away at the assertion like roaches on a discarded Cheeto. They will explain how most white people didnt own slaves. They will offer a convoluted explanation about the Confederacy and Southern heritage. They will introduce the concept of presentismthe idea that we shouldnt judge the actions of people in the past using modern-day standardsas if the white people of the past couldnt quite grasp the idea of inhumanity and brutality until 1861.
Everyone knew that slavery was evil. Everyone knew that Jim Crow was evil. Everyone knew that lynching was evil. Everyone knows that any kind of injustice or inequality is evil. These things persist because most white people dont actively fight to eradicate them.
And most white people dont actively fight to eradicate inequality and injustice because they usually benefit in some small way. The Southern economy was built on evil slavery. Jim Crow laws maintained a national order with white people firmly planted atop the social hierarchy. Systematic injustice keeps black people in their place, but it also comforts white people to know that the big black bogeymen are being kept behind bars...
...They know the reality of disproportionate police brutality, but they dont have to worry about their children being shot in the face. Their kids receive good educations. Their kids can wear hoodies whenever they please. Little Amber and Connors résumés dont get tossed in the trash because of their black-sounding names. Their childrens futures are determined only by work ethic and ability. Therefore, they stay silent on the sidelines.
Thats not evil.
That is cowardice.

Modern white people are cowards, or else most of you filth would be gone.
And what about the black Africans who sold their captured neighbors to the Arab slave buyers? Anybody mentioning the original slave traders?
Good to know. I had always just naturally assumed I was evil.
Wonder what he has to say about the blacks who gave away or sold the other blacks to the slave traders????
Thats not the reason Lashawandas and Tammikas resumes end up not being chosen.
Sounds like he belongs on the faculty of Duke University (or or just about any university, for that matter).
I see they are confusing White Democrats with White People again.
Does this guy know that Black People owned Slaves in the United States of America, not just Africa?
I guess all those Black Men and Women who have Married a White Spouse had better do something since their Spouses are as guilty as any other White folks.
What a douche.
White people did not invent slavery, they ended it for the most part, but they are selling slaves in Libya right now.
That’s part of Africa you douche.
Not exactly a premier INTELLECTUAL.
What a feckless turd this ahole is. White people are coward for not flushing down turds like this roots turd.
So explain why blacks refuse to get married and have actual mom and dad families together?
So explain why 93% of blacks are shot by other blacks?
Own your own probelems, and stop blaming everyone else. Slavery has been over for ovr 150 years. Stop acting like you just came off the g-d plantation.
