Morons with white guilt. More than that.. racists!

What about the 100,000’s of white slaves brought from Ireland and Scotland into Barbados and the US colonies? What? Does no one remembers white slavery? Does no one remembers people passing laws prohibiting breeding white slave Irish women into mulatos because mulatos (white/black mix) fetched a greater price than just white?
It wasn’t only here in the USA, Europe was rife with it. My grandfather’s grandfather, was born a slave of a german baron in Latvia. Not allowed to learn read, had to wear special peasant clothes, could be bought and sold for money, had no protection under the law other than the rule of his master, heck he did’t even have a last name.. finally emancipated in the 1860’s, given a last name and plot of land.

What a racist is to imply that only blacks suffered the degradation of slavery.

Take your white guilt and choke on it..

And the Chinese who built the railroads. NONE of those you mentioned, or the Asians, reverted to beasts. They welcomed their freedom and lived the dream while retaining their identity.
Almost everyone who has found freedom here were slaves at some point in their ancestry. It was the way of the world.
Why is it? When I was a child in school, we all had the same opportunity to learn. We sat side by side in classrooms everyday. Same teachers, same books, same tools. No racially motivated fights. We were friends, all of us. We had Samoans, Jamaicans, an immigrant from Italy who didn’t speak a word of English when she first arrived, Gypsies, blacks, two Jews of which I was one, Mexicans, Puerto Ricans....
We lived in the same neighborhood. We were neighbors. We hung out at each others’ houses. It wasn’t that long ago. Where did all the hate come from? I will never understand that mindset as long as I live.
