You could always type "the "N" word" in that way. Everyone'll know what you mean.

And as far as pics, the sky's the limit on those, i wager.

I know as much about the world as I know about the veil your wearing in front of your eyes.

Being able to call this country fcuked up better be a freedom. Let Whites try and take African-American freedom away again and see what'll happen.

Your nothing more than a dunce. A pure, dunce. I mean that. I experience racism everyday, unless you think I'm lying which would be the typical thing. So what are you talking about my not understanding racism..

You could say let see white America try and take away Asian right, Latino rights so what makes the difference what race? Almost every civilization today was built on the back of slaves from ALL races. There is no perfect society and there never will be, with your logic and let say all racism, prejudice and bigotry was history it would still be built on the back of slaves so for you it would still be flawed.

This is what I’m talking about for being accused for slavery. Now who do you think would pay for this is if it won? http://archives.cnn.com/2002/LAW/03/26/slavery.reparations/

And here I thought that the NAACP burried that.. way to dig it back up again.

And are you trying to suggest that he doesn't like you because of your skin color rather than your rather limited intelect?

Oh yes, people don't like you, it must be because of your skin color. 🙄

Irrelevant?..

My so called "whining" about how i don't benefit is irrelevant, you mean. You offered to lecture on the topic and I simply took you upon it.

And you point is? I have no idea where you are going with this thought? So there are good reasons to use slaves?

My point is, is that i don't think any nation in history has every been so hypocritical with the notion of freedom for all it's citizen while simultaneously keeping them captive in bondage.

And I don't know where you got the idea that I implied or alluded to there being good reason for slavery. Don't spin sh*t.

Hm. Unsurprisingly, you're also a low judge of character.

Grow smarter then come back.

FOTN, insulting people adds nothing to your argument. Leave that out. Your arguments are already illogical; makes them looks even worse.

Their findings, detailed in this month’s issue of the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, suggest that anger helps people focus on the cues that matter most to making a rational decision and ignore cues that are irrelevant to the task of decision-making.

This could be because anger is designed to motivate people to take action—and that it actually helps people to take the right action, the authors wrote.

No you idiot. How I benefit is irrealivent because its already been established that I do. You claim you don't which is why there's a problem. You benefit as well.

Well you might pick up on the cues easier but you're still angry. In fact I'm going to have to disagree, when you think about relationships you're more likely to say things you regret when angry. Because you'll ignore certain cues as well.

Of course I just read all of Ranma 1/2 so I can certainly see how being angry leads to stupid decisions.

I’m spinning? I said that every race has been slaves and been slavers and you respond with this…

How is someone supposed to take that? A slave is being a slave or are you saying what Africans went through in the early days of America worse than what other slaves through history went through?

As for America being hypocritical, think about the time when it was being created. Does America still have issue or should I say the people have issues, yes but then every country does but in the short time of its founding and the freedoms and liberties that it has is impressive and remember that America is still a very young country. It is the people that cause the problem and not America; I don’t remember reading any where in the Constitution that says all have freedom except for blacks.

This argument is bondage in the form of economics which is more broad than simply race.

Historical example: "Chinamen" and eastern european immigrants were sent to do dangerous jobs that a black slave could not do because slaves were too valuable. Hiring a random worker on a low wage and him losing his life is nothing. A slave dies and you are out about $200,000 in today's currency. White man, asian man, native american - it matters not if they are not valuable property. It is not just about race, it is about profit over loss, capital flight and logistics.

The idea of "freedom" is far more broad that just a race issue. You can't even tell so it must be working. The way you speak of it is more a Karl Marx idea.

Absolutly nothing. at least you admit it.

Move to China. Then complain about America's freedoms.

You're projecting.

I thought you moved to a non-white community? I'm pretty sure you said that back in this thread.

As I said, Hatred not racism. You think that there is no true racism against white people. Show you don't uundertand it, even though you supposedly experience it. I say supposedly because I'm waiting on an answer from you asshat.

Absolutely nothing. You just keep thinking we're in a "free country" there, pal.

China has/is adopting U.S. or Western aspects. That'd be jumping outta the frying pan into the fire, ya dope.

And I wasn't projecting. I was being factual. You're a literal and logical dunce. Fact.

I did move to a non-white community but I do venture out. At work and on my way to work, i have to face and deal with the likes of your kind everyday.

Hatred is apart of racism. See this is why you're a dunce in the purest sense of the word. And supposedly? Are you implying that I've never experienced racism from Whites at all?

MAn you're a moron. you think you're more opressed than anyone else in the world? You've got freedoms that you take for granted that other people in other parts of the world don't have.

You sit here and ***** about how you're not free, but what I don't think you realize is that you are free to do just that.

Which means they're improving. You're not in a frying pan you idiot. How are you not free? What is it that you're not allowed to do? What freedoms do YOU not have?

Oh so you take people dumping on you because your an idiot as dumping on you because of your skkin color everyday?

Seek professional therapy I suspect you have a martyrdom complex.

But Racism isn't a part of hatred. As in it's possible to hate someone for reasons other than race. I don't hate you, I just think you're a moron.

No you moron. I'm saying despite your experiences you don't truly understand racism. because you've even said that you can be truly racist against white people. Don't you even remember your clownish antics?

no, you're just a silly clown, trying to get a reaction out of people by calling them racists. the fact is however that you dislike white people just for being white. there is a solution though. get aids.

Firstly, a very interesting and highly informative article PITT_HAPPENS. A good read it was.

But the difference, in regards to you question about rights being taken away, would be in the legacy of slavery as opposed to being paid to lay railroad as Asians or the ability to fight back as everyone else did.

And I think you meant that every civilization was mostly built on the backs of non-White slaves, to be exact.

And who would pay for reparations. Well, there's a list but as your article wrote, and I'm paraphrasing, corporations created of African-American slave blood.

I loved how most Whites on those polls wouldn't give anything back to Blacks. Not one red cent even though there's documented proof of these corporations being associated directly with the African American Slave trade.

From your article....

The lawsuit notes that FleetBoston is a successor to Providence Bank, which it says was founded by Rhode Island slave trader John Brown. FleetBoston had no immediate comment on the suit.

Nine out of 10 white respondents said the government should not make cash payments to slave descendants while 6 percent said it should.

Among black respondents, 55 percent said the government should make cash payments and 37 percent said it should not.

The poll surveyed 1,001 adults -- 820 of them white and 146 black -- February 8-10. The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 9 percentage points for black respondents and plus or minus 4 percent points for white respondents. The percentages differ because of the difference in the number of people surveyed.

The same people were asked if corporations that made profits from slavery should apologize to African-Americans. Among blacks, 68 percent said they should while 23 percent said they should not. Among whites, 32 percent said they should and 62 percent said they should not.

Three-fourths of black respondents said the companies should set up scholarship funds for descendants of slaves and 20 percent said they should not. Among white respondents, 35 percent of respondents said they favored the scholarship funds while 61 percent said they were opposed.

I found this eyepopper the most interesting...

estimates slaves performed as much as $40 million worth of unpaid labor between 1790 and 1860. The current value of that labor could be as high as $1.4 trillion
