I see what you're saying, and white, western racism was indeed a huge problem and a terrible institution, and to some extent, still exists.
TO SOME EXTENT???? NO, NOT TO SOME EXTENT, IT EXIST PERIOD!!! NOTHING HAS CHANGED IT'S ONLY PROGRESSING THROUGH IT'S STAGES.
THEY DON'T NEED TO KEEP PLANTING FEAR WHEN IT'S ALREADY BEEN PLANTED. WATER THE SEED AND LET IT GROW.
RACISM IS ONLY GOING THROUGH IT'S STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT, IT HASN'T STOPPED.
HOWEVER, I don't understand how it was any different from what Egyptians, Romans, or Greeks did.
THAT'S BECAUSE YOU LACK THE KNOWLEDGE OF THIS PARTICULAR SUBJECT OR YOU SIMPLY DON'T WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER.
UNDERSTANDING IS BASED ON KNOWLEDGE...WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE THERE'S NO UNDERSTANDING.
How is it different than the ethnic cleansing that goes on in Africa today?
THE ETHNIC CLEANSING IS BECAUSE OF THE PEOPLE WHO CLASSIFY THEMSELVES AS WHITE. YOU ONLY SPEAK OF THE EFFECT, BUT DON'T NEVER WANT TO GET TO THE ROOT OF IT.
When America started there were Native Americans. The white settlers killed and displaced them, not because they were afraid of them, but because they were in the way.
There were no black people in America. They were brought here, because slavery was widely used at that time.
AGAIN, A LACK OF KNOWLEDGE! BLACK PEOPLE WERE THE FIRST TO STEP FOOT ON THE LAND KNOWN AS AMERICA (BOTH NORTH AND SOUTH)
WHAT COLUMBUS SEE WHEN HE ARRIVED? WHAT A PERSON NOW A DAYS WOULD CALL A BLACK PERSON, AFRICAN, AFRICAN AMERICA.....READ HIS OWN WORDS!
PLUS, THE OLMEC PEOPLE HERE PRE-DATE COLUMBUS' ARRIVAL AS WELL AS OTHER SO-CALLED NATIVE AMERICAN PEOPLES, AND THEY'RE BLACK (THE STEREO TYPE OF WHAT A BLACK PERSON IS THAT IS)
Racism is a dying institution. America has a black president.
AGAIN, IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS THEN YOU WON'T KNOW HOW IT FUNCTIONS. A BLACK PRESIDENT IS NOT A SIGN THAT IT'S A DYING INSTITUTION.
Now, there ARE people who have the mentality that you described, but today, at least, they are the minority of white people.
