Black People : Dr Henry Louis Gates says that Africans were 90% responsible for the slave trade

[SouthsideIrish]

Even though you did not direct your reply to me per se, I openly choose to respond to this. There are reasons why white people get every ounce of it. I understand the institutions involved in the slave trade. I understand the construct of white supremacy that has conditioned all people where ever they may be. I understand that not all white people were involved in it and that there were many against it and who fought to destroy it. But there are reasons why white people today get every ounce of the blame.

Today, with all the information that is out...and with the idea that many white people on a global basis do know what happened and what the results of it were that presently affect black people today, "where is the outcry"? "Where is the mindset of "lets straighten the books out" on this?? Where is the mindset of "this country owes these people" and we're going to make sure that the debt is taken care of??? It doesn't exist...and there are reasons as to why it doesn't exist.

It doesn't exist because white people enjoy the benefits that their ancestors left them and they can't see changing that. It doesn't exist because it is not in the interest of white people to be JUST in the face of injustice as long as they come out on top. There are more, but I think you see where this is going.

Thank You.

Thank you for.your respectful post.
I read it twice looking for a point which voided black responsibility but both times cam up empty.

Did I say it spares my own kinds involvment?

No I did not.

In fact....I said the exact opposite

I am not talking about the "points of responsibility" noted by you. I am talking about the perception of America. Is that hard to understand?

Whites dont get an unfair share? They get every ounce of it.You think that is fair?

Forgive me but your rebbutal is a joke.

The only joke here is you sticking your nose into OUR business.

Frankly, some of you blacks have treated me REAL NASTY on here!

I would help workingwhiteman before I would help YOU!!!!

The way black men are HATING and KILLING each other, I wouldn't be surprised if Africans were a HUNDRED percent responsible!

It doesn't matter your color, but what you feel inside!!!

And you "brothers" that've been treating me nasty...keep on treating me nasty cause that's the type of NEGROES you are!

You're about as "black" as a KLANSMAN!!!!!

That is the TRUTH!!!!!

You "brothers", and I used that word loosely, who've been AGAINST me all this time, you hate me because you're INWARDLY EVIL and i'm TOO BLACK for you!!!!!

How can you claim to be "pro-black" and hold HATRED AGAINST YOUR OWN BROTHER???

I could tell you where to go and I hope you know what you can do!!!!
