Kill Whitey! Wait.. uh...

Yeah, it's idiotic isn't it? Slavery is still a big deal for an argument 140+ years after it happened. This has caused so many problems that it's just plain stupid, and I'm here to say a few things on it.

Before I start, however, I'd like to say I have alot of black friends. My opinions come from the stupidity of racism and not on the hatred of black/white/any color people. I am not a racist. I hate everyone equally.

With that said, what's with the childish arguments? Can you guys seriously just let it go for a while? Black and white people combined have not let go for 140 years about something that completely kills social interactions sometimes. Heck there are locations where [insert color type] people will just not go due to the attitude of [insert opposing color type] people. This is stupid.

Let's get some quick facts out there people. Did you know that white people were enslaved first?! By africans, no less! Isn't that interesting? Long long ago in Egypt, which is on the northern area of [gasp] Africa, Jewish people were enslaved by Egyptians for manual labor and such. The vast majority of these Jewish people were [secodn gasp] white of skin!

Second quick fact! Did you know that it was the portuguese who gave America the idea for slavery? It was a quick way to help the root of America be dug and set in while having England on our backs and breathing down our necks. Sure? Why not import people from a less fortunate country? But wait, thier skin was black.

What would of happened if thier skin was white? Now don't sit there and say nothing, because as far as the Americans were concerned these people were from a different country, period. Don't think for one second that someone couldn't of put a tag, or hot-iron brand on a kid when they came of age or something.

It's also not like a black person never owned slaves. The majority of slave owners were white people, but there was also a very healthy amount of black people that owned slaves too! Did you know that either?! Gee, the more and more we get into this the less it seems to be about the color of someone's skin and the more it seems to be about just being plain lazy.

I do hate when someone is lazy. Everyone hates lazyness. It's obnoxious and idiotic. On top of that it's arrogant to think that you can buy other humans to do your work for you in return for room & board. That's what kids are for.

In the end of it all, it was white people taking black slaves away from white people. The whole thing goes a little something... a-like a-this...

Billy : You stole my juice!

Sally : So?! You stole mine first!!

Billy : But John said I could!

John steals his own juice, and drinks it happily.

Billy : I'm gonna get Dad and get my juice back!

That's right. If you're racist, or can't let go of the past, you're immature and acting like a complete doof. It's over a century ago people. Wake up and get on with life. If you seriously have nothing better to do than stand around and say any of the following things :

  • I'm better than you
  • I want someone else to do my work for me
  • If you're not like me, you're wrong
  • You owe me one
  • I should get a free pass because my Great (x10) grandpa was a slave

or anything within a racist quality, then you need to get out more often.

I'm not proud of what happened. I don't think it was right. I'm sorry, on behalf of all my own ancestors (because I at least have racist people in my family line) about how we treated anyone that we've offended. The rest of the world has moved on. Welcome to America, when's the last time you've been?

The whole slavery thing is bullshit. It's all about people looking for a hand-out. I don't see the Jews suing Germany for reparations, nor do I see the Chinese complaining about what they've endured. It's a select group of black America who wants their share of the American pie without working for it. What good would it do if we did give them reparations? Nothing. They'd piss it away on stupid shit, and it wouldn't erase salvery off the history books.
