I know I risk being flamed or having this thread closed but I'm didn't create this thread to incite hatred. I'm not a racist. I'm neither Black or White either but I proudly and respectfully live among them.

I created this thread in order to gain knowledge from those who may know about the topic as this is the 1st of 2 threads on race that I will create.

My post:

Why the mistreatment back then. Was it cause of racism really? I mean, whites are smart but to not like or hate someone due to the hue of one's skin sounds illogical. And not very intellectual. And some of these people may have been either currently living or ancestral people that did this that you are family with, as this events took place not to long ago.

I've heard of Whites hosing Blacks/families/kids with powerful fire hoses that spewed very cold or hot water at peaceful crowds demonstrating.

The separation of water fountains where you'd have a white only bubbler or a whites only bathroom. White only restaurants. If a Black person was charged with "Looking at another white woman" it would land him in jail for years or hanged by the government.

And much more..

The thing I found interesting is, is alot of whites during that time wanted Blacks out, out of facilities building out of the country yet whites brought blacks here. Is it imprinted xenophobia?

As I sit back, today especially, and think about it, I just want to know why. Why the hatred. (at that time)

Because of the differences of back grounds that were also brought to the new world and superiority..Human Nature to dominate or see ones self about others.

Cause blacks had larger dongs than whites and took all their women.

Don't you remember in Starship Troopers when the humans and arachnids, who didn't understand each other and felt threatened by each other, waged war on each other's planets?

I think it was because when white europeans arrived to Africa they saw that the people living there (who were black) were very primitive compared to them. No wheels, no ships, etc. So they looked down at them and treated them like animals.

Well, Native Americans had wheels and canoes and had societies and they got it worse than Blacks. They were wiped out.

I hazard to amend

I think it was the lure of money... You find a civalisation that you can take advantage of to turn a profit... So you call them slaves and force them to make you rich!

then hating them to make yourself feel better as you abuse them seems natural...

Ummm....no they weren't wiped out. Go look at their Indian Reservation Million dollar Casinos and then tell me who had it worse. Blacks or Native Americans?

IMPO the entire Western Nations are at fault for being too cocky and pompus. Thinking that the discoveries of sciences and technology make us better and above the rest. Things like segregation in the Southern States and Apartheid should have NEVER happen. But they did...now we have to eat the crow. Even though I don't wear white sheets or make monkey noises during a soccer game. I feel rather embarass that the Western World is capable of such acts of stupidity.

We were at war with certain Indian Nations for many years we were never at "war" with black nations so to speak.

True ; black nations were used to supply slaves ; Native Americans went to war.

Also blacks were enslaving blacks in Africa as well. Hell they still have slaves in Africa. There were alot of hate crimes twards blacks early in the 20th century (you can still find the hate crimes today) however its not just whites that commit the crimes..............many black on black crimes run rampant today

Seems to me, for the last 1500 years, if you were anything other than white, male and Christian, you were persecuted.

Cows have been persecuted for thousands of years.

Its seems you may not be aware of the Ashanti and Zulu wars of Africa. There were many, many wars before that between the Greeks/Romans and the Egyptians/Ethiopians/Arabs. Ever since Europeans made their way into Africa, from ancient to present, Africans have been trying to do their best to fight Europeans and get them off of their backs.

This is very much true. But, things really got out of hand when the Arabs took over Africa. And, I'm not necessarily taking about present day light skinned Arabs. I'm taking about ancient black Arabs, too, enslaving who looked like them. Such a shame.
When you boil the BS down, it's all about money. The question is, are we gonna do it to our own people, or the other people?

And the answer is: To both. Proof: Look back at History. I think every race that ever existed has been a slave during one era or another and out of that, most of these races had same-race slave owners.

It all comes down to basic stupidity of mankind.. Humans want to have at least some feeling of superiority to comfort their irrational self-doubt.

Scary thing though is that I have the same problems I adress and complain about yet can't do anything about it..

Because human like to conflict.

Ehhhhh???
AFrica cradled great civilisations in many different places. One problem is thinking that Africa is ONE big country... It isn't. It contains thousands of different cultures and many civilisations.
White europeans knew Africans for thousands of years... During the age of exploration europeans needed cheap labour in the new colonies out west. And slavery was nothing new in SOME parts of Africa... Heck Rome's economy was build on slaves. Back then skin-colour just didn't matter.
There were black slave-traders as well. But soon the need for slaves exploded, and europeans and americans started rading African coasts and abducted hundreds of thousand of people.
The first LAW against "inter-racial" marriages was made in Virginia in the... I think early 17th century... There were europeans who worked for slave-wages in the new colonies to pay their fare. And Africans abducted from Africa working along-side them.
Som historians believe the "racism" was born in the new colonies to keep white "slaves" and black slaves from mingling too much and getting the idea, that they needed freedom and better wages.
"Racism" as such, based solely on SKIN-colour, is a fairly new idea in human history. It was also needed to JUSTIFY the treatment of Africans in age of liberal ideas and "all men are created equal" (not just blacks and women at the time...).
Then watch Mississipi Burning...

Wow. You never fail to amaze by your knowledge, The Omega.

Actually that was educational as well. I never knew about the white slaves working alongside black slaves.

Bows

The whites were not "slaves" as such. They had signed working-contracts to receive passage to The New World, contracts that often meant working for years at extremely low wages... They were like serfs.

songhai is one of the african kingdoms that helped during the atlantic slave trade.
