DID THE CENTURIES OF RACISM WEAKEN US OR STRENTHEN US

[yahyah]

HOW CAN WE ACCEPT ANOTHER CULTURE
IF WE DON'T KNOW OUR OWN

ANSWER THIS QUESTION IN DETAIL

[cbi562]

We can never achieve such a thing. People always will be thickheaded and the way you are raised and what you experienced in life can change ones perspective. We live in the information age - we do not need all that BS leading us into the future. Like as stated, there is too much hate, envy, jealousy, and etc for one to look past anything.

[yahyah]

IT ALSO MADE US STRONG AND DURABLE

ABLE TO TAKE REJECTION AND NOT TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER

[purplecityhello]

centuries of racism had CONDITIONED us, and if you THINK that slavery is over youre way off. People are products of their enviorments, where you grow up and the people around you mold you into the person you are. Now if the eviorment you live in is controlled and created by someone else other than you than your thought process and images you see everyday are instituted and controlled. therefore youre the product of an enviorment created by someone who isnt there -so you arent free if you dont choose your way of life - you are a SLAVE

[DC]

get over yourselves man.

[Michelle]

DC Stop leaving pointless remarks and post something worthwhile.

[DC]

Why is it pointless, every race has had injustices brought against them at one stage in there history, everyone else has had to move on with there life. Stop feeling sorry for your selfs and get on with your lifes.

im black and i hate when blacks be bringing up that slavery shit and all that white man shit. when i hear that all i hear is blah blah blah. this 2005 and all any black man need to focus on is getting they money right and not focus what all black people living in this country never went thru and that is slavery

[purplecityhello]

is this nigga serious? ^^^^I hate when white people say stupid shit like "okay slavery is over, why dont these blacks get themselves together? they dont want to work. they are lazy, and criminal. I work everyday and I suceed in this country why cant they do the same? we are all the same today."

shut your mouth with that stupid, brain-washed shit. Son, you sittin on a platform that I built with the blood and sweat of my black hands. YOUR amerikkka was built by the slave. Is that a fact you want to conviently blot out your memory?

if you steal and rob YESTERDAY
you may get locked up TODAY
and sentenced to prison TOMORROW

us, the children of slaves, and they - the children of slave masters have inherited what your parents have passed on to you. we are beneficiaries "economically","attitudunally", "politically", and "socially" as are whites. we inherited the consequential after-effects of centuries of mental,emotional, and physical abuse, while our white counterparts are directly benefiting today from the suffering of our people yesterday.

the white people we compete with today have started off this race many laps and leaps ahead of the game in front of you, while we have started off many laps behind the game in handicapped conditions of injury. And yet all those redneck perckerwoods are still afraid to run against my greatness.

As a RESULT of slavery blacks have inherited STRESS, INFERIORITY, SELF-HATE, INSANITY, and AUTOMATIC SOCIAL CONDEMNATION --- YES today is effected by YESTERDAY... youre really a waste of my time homie

Black man let me talk to you instead, Yes, I know that you are a successful doctor today, yet imagine what you could have been if your family tree was not virtually destroyed? If youre life was "uninterrupted", by the destructive effects of slavery, you could have been a doctor at 18 years old! you dont know TRUE success, and you dont know your true unobstructed potential. Think about that deeply. Reflect.

But even with obstruction we persist, prevail, and suceed to this day...despite the opposition...there, is a hinting sign of your greatness.People dont dwell in the past but never forget nor disrespect your past. It is the compass by which you navigate your future

YOU are NO DIFFERENT than the people who lived and died on the plantation...you are the same seeds to earth, in different seasons

who should give reparations? if somebody ever told me i had to pay for reparations i would leave this country the next day. i am not giving people free money. if you want reparations take it up with the slave owners decendants, the people the actually benefitted off slavery. i have no problems with people getting them, i just have a problem with paying for something i didn't have any part of.

[purplecityhello]

who said anything about YOU paying for reperations? No one EVER asked individuals for money. People marched up to capitol hill and asked the GOVERNEMENT of the USA for money - the ones who benefited the most

and I PERSONALLY believe there isnt enough money in the WORLD to make ammends for the torture and abuse of people for CENTURIES

and who was talking about reperations, theres no way to track down all the descendants of slave masters and make their kids pay === shit i might be descended from a slave master because of all the rape and mixing that took place. The GOVERNMENT is at fault ==== this isnt even a talk on reperations - the subject was --- Did CENTURIES of SLAVERY weaken or strengthen us? im sure the question was directed towards blacks as well.

[se11]

they might pull something and start using tax money to pay for it. if they can pay for it from there pocket, no problem. dont dip into my shit.

[purplecityhello]

just to help you sleep better tonite, know the subject of Reperations is long dealt with --- BLACK PEOPLE WONT BE GETTING SHIT ANY TIME SOON, I dont know why some blacks expected something - shit they aint never give us shit in the first place

[DC]

Look all Im saying is that black Americans were not the only peoples of the world who have been enslaved or treated badly throughtout the history of the world. Look at Australia, the first people to be brought to Australia were white English convicts who did nothing more than steal a loaf of bread to feed there starving family in England. These people were chained to walls in cells for years and enslaved in the early days of Australias founding years, some of those that survived where released and went on to be proud citizens of a country in which they were originally convicts for. Today you would not be able to tell which family has convict blood unless they told you as they have gotten over this and moved on to be contibuting citizens of Australia, and reperations have never ever been brought up in the entire history of the country.

[BobBarker]

Why do people allways say"blacks weren't the only people to be treated badly". Well okay, we already know that. English criminals being chained in prisons can never compare to hundreds of years of chattle slavery. You just cant compare the two.

how about the massacare of 20,000,000 people by stalin, the encampment of jews under hitler, papa doc torturing and massacaring people for no real reason, sadam killing his people and giving them cruel punishments for minor crimes, trujillo killing people in dominican republic and trying to purify it. there are many things worse then slavery of blacks in the 16th century. it was a terrible thing, no doubt, but there were many things worse then it as well.

[purplecityhello]

How many of these things occured over the course of 500 years? how many of these things built a nation and got many rich? how many of these things affect us today?

[Sentenza]

Well honestly i think the only 2 stories that seem worse to me are the jewbaiting for the last 2000 years and maybe the slaughtering of the natives in South and North America.
But like purple said, history affects us still today.The existence of Israel is a good example.
Of course blacks need to get over the past to be ready for the future, but this isnt done just by saying: Just forget about it.
Disestablish Israel and look at what Jews/Israelians would say to you.

[DC]

Man the jews were slaves long before Africans came to the US. The Egytians enslaved the Jews and so did the Romans, but look at the jews they are still going strong.

[yahyah]

WHAT WE GONE GET OVER HUH?

[blackmanofhonor]

DC youre not one of us so for you to say youre over it is irrelevent.This post was directed at black people,I dont even see why you whites have anything to say under this post.Did the centuries of racism weaken ''us'' or strenghten ''us'' the ''us'' is black people,not whites or any other people.Its easy for someone to say they are over it when they arent the ones being affected by it.

[blackmanofhonor]

how about the massacare of 20,000,000 people by stalin, the encampment of jews under hitler, papa doc torturing and massacaring people for no real reason, sadam killing his people and giving them cruel punishments for minor crimes, trujillo killing people in dominican republic and trying to purify it. there are many things worse then slavery of blacks in the 16th century. it was a terrible thing, no doubt, but there were many things worse then it as well.

theres nothing worse than slavery in the USA,I hate when you honkies try to downplay our suffering and make it seem like it wasnt so bad.I would rather be killed then be owned by another human being for life.Let me beat you,rape your wife,sell your kids and keep you chained up like a dog for life and then let me see you honkies say ''oh well there were worse things in history,get over it''.I hate when you motherfuckers say shit like that.

[DC]

Ok, I wont post here anymore, I will leave it to the black folk to whinge and whine about there social injustices.. GET ON WITH YOUR LIFE..

[yahyah]

im black and i hate when blacks be bringing up that slavery shit and all that white man shit. when i hear that all i hear is blah blah blah. this 2005 and all any black man need to focus on is getting they money right and not focus what all black people living in this country never went thru and that is slavery

you dont think that happened in other places? jews were starved, robbed, and harassed as well. 20,000,000 people died under ONE leaders rule. 20,000,000!

jews and egyptians were enslaved way before african slavery, and their slavery was just as bad. i am not saying yours wasn't bad, but just know theres worse things that could have happened to you as well.
