Would you rather live next door to black kids who always smoke pot and breakdance, or racist white people who constantly use the "n" word?

Every race has endured racism in history, not just african americans, if we can all get over it, so too should they. It's the past, they haven't personally suffered so why bang on about it??? Everybody has forgiven worse events than that, it's time to move on.

You can't ocmpare a different race, with a different history, in a different conntry to Native Americans and Blacks in *American* slavery. I doubt the same methods were used as well as treatment. I remmber reading (and research helps proves this) that slaer wasn't , for quite sometime based on race at least not as severely) until American slavery dealing with Blacks (I.e: oure Black then you're a Slave). As I've sad before, Most Blacks do not coplain about slavery. They have normal things to think about, just like you.

That´s the dutch that came up with that great idea..
Why don´t you hear about Jews hating Germans? That is way more recent than slavery..
by Temporary Name on October 29th, 2009
Slavery still exists. And i'll look it up, I wasn't aware that Jews hated Germans, probably because the jewish people I know don't hate Germans or anyone of germany-descent.

the germans annihalated over 6 million jews between 1939 and 1945. You missed THAT!??
by Temporary Name on November 17th, 2009
No, I know about that. But I'm not going to readily group Jewish people together and say that they hate Germans. While I undersand the connection between that and Hitler, I fail to understand your conenction between the Jewish indiiduals I know, and hatred that does not belong to them. I'm sure individuals do commit hate-crimes and I will, I promise you, look into hate-crimes towards Germans but I was trying to let you know that the Jewish people I kow aren't like that so I wasnt aware about jews as a group speifically hating Germans. Oh, and (1)technically did miss it because I didn't exist, (2)I don't agree with what happened (3) and since you're tlkign abut what wenton logner, while slavery didnt exist instutionalized raism that prevented people from living normal lives existed as well. Howver, genocide is by far the worst in my opinion.

maybe you just want to read the question where you are responding to here? Just a thought...
by Temporary Name on November 17th, 2009
i did. and it seems like you have a slight attitude. sorry if you didnt understand and i wasn't being clear enough. i basically answered a short question ("You missed THAT?")with a long answer. I felt like you oversimplifed your example and was trying to tell you why it didnt make sense and why I had never heard of the issue.
