Americans fought and died to end slavery, and have elected and promoted people of colour to every office and position in the country, including the presidency. Only someone with a very selective understanding of the US could look at it's history and not see what has been done by law and by action to combat and eradicate racism.
They fought over economic control, not slavery. It was meant to destabilize the Confederacy but it was a convenient cover to send sons out to die under the guise of freedom when it was really just about tactics and money. Only someone with a weak understanding of history could look and not see that this country was built on racism and doesn't truly do much to discourage it. Just because a few make it doesn't equate to a positive change. A few always make it one way or another.
I don't hate my country but I don't sweep its history and current actions under the rug just because my life is good.
Not dwelling in the past but the past is what brought us to the present. There is no reason to disregard it because it only makes the past more relevant when things occur now we can look back for answers and examples. This country is built on racism and if that doesn't make it racist I'm not sure what does.
Nothing to add? Just passive aggressive digs?
From the article written in 2016
This is weak drivel that isn't even a study but two surveys. It has no factual or truthful bearing. So what you don't understand is that this article was made up between two surveys that aren't necessarily accurate and assumptions were concluded because the company isn't anthropologist but hedge funds. So while you figure out that your facts aren't facts you should learn about Andrew Jackson and all the other presidents influence on the indigenous that throughout history has led to 2019 and you being able to enjoy the fruit of generations of suffering.
I'm not concerned with facts but truthfulness. That chart is misleading on its own hence my quoting of the company saying that it isn't accurate themselves. Did I ask for reparations? Victimhood status? Benefits? Apologies? I didn't ask for any of it so I'm wondering why you are reacting so emotionally. We all have to get on with life and I never insisted or insinuated anything different. I never mentioned any group aside from the indigenous colored people called African Americans.
Where else do you go when America has such an international presence and is considered the super power of the world? Where do you go from Yemen and Afghanistan after the US wrecks your country? I'd go live with the winners just so I don't get bombed or accused of being a terrorist with nuclear weapons or at the least escape the extra shitty living conditions America created.
You can only be anti Semitic. No reverse racism allowed
Israel has more Arab members of parliament than any Arab country has Jewish members of parliament. Ever wonder why?
I'm all for getting rid of Confederate flags and statues because it is a big deal to my brothers and sisters and my faith also tells me not to put a stumbling block before others. So yes, demolish the tin.
You should educate yourself, but you probably will just ignore these articles and continue to enjoy your biases as we all do:
I don't think you really understand what I've been saying but just picking through my post to prove racism isn't as relevant when I've been saying it's part of the foundation of America that has allowed you to live a privileged life.
