If I'm not mistaken that may be part of a speech he gave to whites during that time in response to why blacks should not care to celebrate the 4th of July. Blacks don't celebrate the 4th as whites do we actually use the day as a family gathering day more less. The reason for that is that even after slavery was officially abolished our people were still enslaved in the south for some years before the word had gotten out. Juneteenth is the result.

(cont.) I'm white. I have never hated someone due to their color. I have always wanted equality, I have never felt that my plight or path in this life made me 'better' than anyone else. I have always tried to see the world with a compassionate heart. You are my fellow man, why is it, that because of my color (or lack thereof) I am not good enough to be yours?
I didn't own you. Nor would I ever want to 'own' another human being.
The only person(s) I wish to be 'owned' by is my Savior and G-d.

(cont.) 1/3-2/3 of whites between 1600-1800 came over not as free men, but as slaves.
Slavery for whites did not end in 1776. Not until the civil war.
Fredrick Douglas gave a speech to a crowd of white people, and said, "this is not my independence day, it is yours." They were not free yet, but Fredrick Douglas was.
Not only that, but look into history, there were not just white 'elites' with black slaves, but blacks and native Americans owners (masters) as well.

I would just like to say that you obviously have believed the lies that it was the 'average white american' that owned black slaves. That however, is no where near the truth. Perhaps you might want to look into white slavery, it occurred before the merchant sailors (mainly Jews) went to Africa and took slaves.
They stole the land in the UK from the yeoman's and forced them into poverty, then later used them as 'indentured servants' many of whom were never freed, to build America.

I'm sick and tired of the ressentiment coming from fellow African Americans towards people of European descent. All you do is talk shit because YOU feel inferior. All you do is blame all of the problem within the African American community on whites. The social mobility and family stability of African Americans was greater before the civil rights movement because we weren't a bunch of whiners who depended on the state. Ressentiment is the crutch of the weak.

Old allies? More like mortal enemies and it will never change. Not even in death.

@Vojak3 But what does it say about you? Nothing.
1. Tell a Jew to "get over" Hitler
2. Tell Native Americans to "get over" the loss of their entire world
3. Tell a raped woman to "get over" her rapist...to just forget about the humiliation and terror.
4. Get a child to stop flinching or cowering after you've beaten the hell out of him or her repeatedly.
5. Tell Troy Davis to forgive the system for murdering him.
I don't think so.
*It's human nature for Blacks to hate people who hurt them and are still hurting them*
Now, "get over" that.
