You're right, i'd be even more oppressed by the White people in this country during that time. Thank goodness i wasn't apart of that era. I would've been one of the ones of many to escape and/or fight to the death rather than be enslaved by any Euro-American White, in this country, during that time. Asinine... Why do Whites want Blacks to forget slavery ever happened altogether. I don't get it. It'll never happen. It'll never be forgotten about. Ever.Anyway, I digress. If i were born in the 1840's, in the U.S., i'd not only be dead or dying by now just for being non-White, I would definitely be born in the wrong time period. I would've rose hell as an American slave and be killed/hanged by White men for it.
No one is implying "we" forget slavery was a part of this county's history, the fact that students spend time learning about it should prove that to you... duh. We also have "Black History Month" to further destroy your bogus and ignorant claim. Fact is, you in no way shape or form have EVER had (not even close) it as bad as a slave circa 1800's so stop with your whining, all you do is shit on the people that endured it.
I digressed too, my bad... Or, maybe you would have been one of the slaves freed by this little conflict known as "The American Civil War", that's of course if you were a slave to begin with as not all blacks were slaves.
"And who are you? So full of hate that you have to fight everybody, because you've been whipped and chased by hounds. Well that might not be living, but it sure as hell ain't dying. And dying's been what these white boys have been doing for going on three years now, dying by the thousands, dying for you, fool!" -Morgan Freeman(Rawlins) "Glory" circa 1989
