White Slavery  or Reverse- Discrimination for the Future?
594537
Well hopefully with time people will see there is only 1 race.....the human race.\nI refuse to take responsibilty for the actions of people that are now dead. \nI CAN say that what they did was wrong but I can't change it.\nSo the best way to deal with it is to learn from their mistakes and treat all people the same. \nYeah I know long long way to go yet.

No,because whites are trying to prove we are more related to apes than they are which this how slavery came about. If they believe that in the past, black intelligence is equal to an ape what do you think they taught their future off springs. Blacks are inferior.

Wow - that's a tough question to answer without sounding racist or radical.  \n\n(especially after we went to war believeing that slavery is wrong)\n\nSlavery has always provided a form of free labor.  When you use a race that you believe is inferior you don't have to worry about cost or feeding or even the working conditions as slaves are expendable.\n\nHowever once you get into that topic, you are putting a price on a human life (which is close to 2.3 billion dollars if you add the cost of the chemicals used to make up a human).

Economist, I REALLY like your answer.\n\nQuestion: If other cultures hanging out with whites makes them "whitewashed" does that make my blue-eyed blond granddaughter "blackwashed" because she has a beautiful  partly black daughter?

"Reverse discrimination is a term used to describe discriminatory policies or acts that benefit a historically sociopolitically nondominant group (typically women and minorities), rather than the historically sociopolitically dominant group."\n\nTypically things like affirmative action as categorized as Reverse Discrimination.\n\nHowever, in my own personal belief descrimination is wrong.

Travis, forgive me if you're right in principle you're may not be right in the form nor in the general reasoning.\n\nAccording to your thought you own that country because you went there, colonized it with the force, made it yours and now you're there and rule. \nIt's right for that reason that, just like you did, anyone else could go there, kick your butt and settle a brand new type of civilization (It will happen eventually but i think you'll be too old or dead to see it happening). \n\nBut that is not the point!\nThe point is simply that the reasoning WE ARE ALL IMMIGRANTS greatly sucks in general for the following reason.\n- It's true the US are a nation of immigrants. But it is also true that, leaving natives aside, it was originally colonized by WHITE CAUCASIANS OF ENGLISH ORIGINS. Therefore, if US are what they are in terms of economy, living standards, etc, that is MAINLY DUE to the organization inprint provided by those ENGLISH WHITE CAUCASIANS. No one is saying that African slaves or Chinese didn't do their part. But we are are not talking about the workers but rather about the neural system that shaped the US as they are today. That was due to WHITE CAUCASIAN ENGLISH PEOPLE (It's not a case if UK is still a power to reckon with economically, while the rest of Europe is going down). That measn that allowing too many illegals or even legals of any nation whose traditions and habits are very different from yours, could or would (longterm) an uneven balancing of the racial groups. In short one new racial/religious group could begin to gain power and exert more pressure to dominate. The thing appears ridiculous untill the amount of WHITE CAUCASIANS is still majority (and strenghtened by the amount of immigrates who share your own values) but it's not said that will always be so, if the US keep allowing in "PIGS AND DOGS" just to show up how democratic they are (Even though after they let in all those people have to control some 200 million telephones to be sure no one is misbehaving). \nOne thing the US and Europe as well should begin to think about, in the light of the recent events is:\n\n1) Stopping immigration flows; especially those relating to some specific ethnic or religious groups.\n2) Begin to expel all illegals, no matter what and regardless of any diplomatic issue \n3) Ensure the racial balance will always be on the white caucasian with afros (whom in good and bad seem to be those who better adapted to the real US values)\n\nSee, i am not an American citizen; I am an Italian who lives in Italy but i see my country infested with immigrants who kill, scrounge, steal jobs, ask for rights they would never give us in their countries, try to force us to ply to their wills (Muslims in particular), organize in gangs (Latinos in general), rape whole families, rob and kill people with a smile and then laugh (Romanians, Albanians), kidnap kids, steal and scrounge off the government (ROM Gipsies). And all this happens despite our unemployment rate ranges between 8 and 50% in some areas, which should let you understand we DO NOT NEED IMMIGRATES in Italy. I think you don't need many of them in the US either as in most cases all what they do is working for 1/10 of what any american would do, killing the job market.\nWhat a pity your reasoning was based on FORCE, while the actual problem is much more complex. But i do see your point and your rage (Which is shared by many others around the world)

Would be nice if he could effectively eliminate it in the US. Check out this link for info about what types of slavery exist today:\n\nhttp://www.antislavery.org/homepage/antislavery/modern.htm

Oh, thank you. I'm so glad this ticks other people off, too. I'd like to smack the next person I hear use the term "reverse racism". Racism is racism regardless of the color of the person experiencing discrimination. And I believe that white people are really getting the short end of the stick. \n\n(I don't appriciate the term Caucasian - it means white people from the Meditterranian - with dark hair and eyes, an olive complection and oval eyes - but whites are all grouped together, and since "black" isn't PC, then they don't want to say "white", and you can't say European, because not all whites are from Europe.)\n\nWhen I went to college, I had a 3.8 GPA, I was in clubs and activities (even founded my school's debate club), I volunteered in community service, and had been a foreign exchange student. My mother was a widow with two younger children still in the home, and an income under $20,000 a year. And I wasn't eligable for anything. A few thousand dollars for educational grants, a dozen $50-$500 scholarships that I had spent a whole year applying for with every group I could find. (I worked in the Financial Aid office, I had govt. loans - bbut we're taking scholarships and grants now.) It was a drop in the bucket of a $17,000/year tuition. \n\nI think it comes from the racist belief that all white people are rich. \n\nEver since I started taking the PSATs in 9th grade, there have been boxes to check off. If you're even 1/8 Black, Hispanic, Native American or anything else they'll send you forms to get scholarships. There are "black" collages, latino fraternities, scholarships based on races other than white.\n\nThen you get older and you start checking "decline" on job application race questions, because companies that have government regulations imposed on them will hire a slightly inferior "minority" before a fully qualified white.\n\nThen it goes higher up. The state of Illinois just got pressured into awarding billions of dollars to just a handful of communities because their elected representatives bound together on race lines. The long-debated budget was up for a final vote, when the hispanic representatives stood up and announced that, unless the money was given to those couple of neighborhoods (who's officials were hispanic), then ALL of the hispanic representitives would withhold their votes, and the budget (which didn't include those billions of dollars) wouldn't pass.\n\nWhites could never do that. We'd be torn to threads. The public wouldn't stand for any of it. The politicians would be ousted. Just like a college claiming to be "white" would be forced to admit minorities, as would white fraternities. And could you imagine a white pride day? Or a European Day parade?\n\nBut if this racism continues, and I ever become rich, I plan to start the United White College Fund. Look for us in 20 years and make a donation.

No, others are racist but for different reasons.  White history month?  What are we learning for the entire year?  Oh yeah, white history.  Funds like the United Negro one are for the descendants of slaves (face it, that's how most if not all  Africans got here) who were released with nothing.  They had to survive in a world where there were relatively few employers (they wouldn't hire blacks).

Every half of century of so. . there is one race that sticks out from the rest and gets the charge for worst race.  It was white ppl for what they did to slaves.. it was germans for what they did to the jews and so on and so forth right now its the muslism... in another few years it will be someone else.. that's just how it seems to me that it works.  dont know who's gonna be next but it gets worst and worst.

I really don't understand why you think it is so hard to be black. Do you think it is any easier to be white??? Really, get real, there may be a touch of racism out there, but legally you guys have as many if not more opportunities than the whites. You are legally covered against discrimination - we aren't. You have special federal funding of a lot of educational opportunities that whites don't have. Just check into the income level necessary for whites to get educational aid - it is pathetic. You have many housing opportunities that I don't have. Now guess who pays for all of this - we the taxpayers (you included I hope). You don't see me or any white squawking about reverse discrimination, but it has gotten to that point, so keep your pity party to yourself. God made us all. For some reason I ended up white and you ended up black. Be proud of who you are, and then go make something of yourself. It is hard for everyone right now with the rise in the cost of health care, cost of living, fuel costs, etc.. Jobs are still available for anyone who wants to better himself / herself, so get out there and overcome and see the dream that Martin Luther King described. I don't think he ever meant for you guys to wallow in sorrow about your state of affairs. God bless and chin up.

Anything that perpetuates the demand from our society for all white males to feel guilty for something they had no part in is  wrong. I haven't been discriminatory towards anyone, unless they are just plain ignorant, and I should be discriminated against by anyone either.\n\nAffirmative action was needed up to about fifteen years ago, but it is time for either a phase out plan or complete stoppage.

It's not acceptable, and every African/Asian/Native/Latin/Arabic-American knows it. The notion that anyone else is responsible for what their grand-pappy did is asinine. Slavery is gone; it's not a personal problem for anybody. However, racism is not gone, and it is a real problem. HOWEVER, minorities perpetuate it just as much as they suffer from it.

who wants to go back to age of slavery?

No. Slavery is cruel and evil and it takes a very profitable industry to get people to overlook that.
