Doesn't matter what the stance of the black community is, the point is that whites are known to be racist, hence their racist past.
And yeah, minorities were oppressed since day one. They teach history in public schools, so I'm not sure why this is a secret.

By this logic all people of Mongol descent are brutal murders because of their history which involves ravaging nomadic people across the Eurasian Steppes.

Whites are racist!As someone of Germanic heritage people with Italian heritage should pay me reparations for the brutal treatment my ancestors endured from the Roman Empire.

Because of their past? Like how European powers conquered over Africa? I guess Romans were racist too for having slaves? Sorry to burst your bubble, but blacks are not always the victims in history. I love how you leave out how black people can be just as racist. Quote And yeah, minorities were oppressed since day one. They teach history in public schools, so I'm not sure why this is a secret. Maybe get your mind out of 'Murica, because the history of the world is far greater than just that country. You should look at the history of oppression and slavery and see it extends far past blacks.Edit: The irony of this all is that you're stereotyping an entire group of people being racist because of what happened in ancestors past. I bet you're one of the people who believe you deserve reparations too, huh? Or act like you know what slavery is like and how damaging it is, even though you've never had to deal with any of that in your life.
I don't understand that argument. "AFRICANS BETRAYED THEIR OWN PEOPLE"Yes. They did. Why did you play along with that bullshit? Because someone else is doing something negative you should too?
It should also be fair to mention that when slaves would be brought from Africa, it was often other tribes turning over slaves who had been opposing tribes they defeated in battle. The survivors and losers of the battle/war became slaves for the victorious tribe and before the arrival of Europeans that's how they remained. The only difference when Europoors showed up became when the slaves would change hands.So really, nice culture huh? Who's worse now? Blacks betrayed their OWN people.
Bro, I'm pretty sure that Orientals take the cake for historically set racial and xenophobic benchmarks.

When the Arab slave trade and Atlantic slave trade began, many of the local slave systems changed and began supplying captives for slave markets outside of Africa.Slavery in historical Africa was practiced in many different forms and some of these do not clearly fit the definitions of slavery elsewhere in the world. Debt slavery, enslavement of war captives, military slavery, and criminal slavery were all practiced in various parts of Africa.
, but in general, in the grand scheme of world history, it's clear the white race is the most racist given their actions.Yeah, racism extends past black people, this is obvious, but the fact is that it doesn't matter. It doesn't change the fact that black people have been treated like garbage, along with other minorities. Your argument is basically just avoiding what everyone already knows.

I guess if you're ignorant of your own barbaric history it would sound like I made that up.

No matter if it's world history, religious history, american history, or even art history, there will be some white people doing some atrocious stuff. You could argue that every race does some atrocious stuff, which is true, but not on the scale and frequency of whites.

Also whites invented things like crucifixion, and the various torture methods during the dark ages. I mean damn, I'm not even talking garbage about white people, I'm just telling you the history.

What Arabs have done is far worse than whites. Sure, white people have done horrible things. But there has been worse.

Also whites invented things like crucifixion,
Quote from: Lord Starch on November 02, 2015, 11:10:27 AMAlso whites invented things like crucifixion,Eh.... we've got Persian and Carthaginian examples that pre-date the Roman crucifixions. Besides, Mediterraneans aren't real Whites.

I mean damn, I'm not even talking garbage about white people, I'm just telling you the history.Amazing how you categorize whites all under one banner when all of them are vastly different across Europe and its history.That'd be like saying blacks in Somalia doing something are viewed in the same light as blacks in Africa, or Haiti. Generalizing like that is pretty dirty. And like LC has said, do you not realize that every continent has mostly fought amongst itself throughout most of it's history or something?You sound like you're playing the victim card insanely hard
