@Applebaum Hating whites for enslaving Africans is like hating Germany because of Hitler 50 years ago.

Probably you will eventually hate white people just to find out, that a person that looks white is actually a descendant of Africans! History is complex and intricated, rude and brutal! History is not a cosy subject and we should be deeply careful with emotiveness! History is not a television series with the good and the bad guys! Regardless how disgusting the past may have been, hate only destroys your live at presentIt's bad for a human being, even if understandable!

History shows us both: the most elevated and the most abject of what humans can do to each other! By the way: Ancient Egypt, an African Culture, was totally based upon slavery! Ethiopia too! And remeber the 1000 years of arab-muslim slave trade, with castrated black slaves serving in the armies and mixed little babies, born out of rape, were immediately drowned upon birth!

There were even some African slaves in China and believe me, the Chinese weren't cosier than all the others! If we take all of that into consideration, one would have to hate the entire world!

@amberled In many cases, sadly enough, slaves were the product of the slave owner, as was the case with one of Spike Lees ancestors. I saw that i an episode of "Who do you think you are?"

@319am1 Whose fault is it that radios dont play underground hip hop??? Sure as hell not mine!!!! I listen to it actually, not this crap that you have playing on the radio. You have to open your eyes and see that idiots such as little wayne etc and all these non sense rappers are who are given AA a bad name. These are the popular right now, not the underground hip hop. And its very unfortunate. And this is how the world see it, not just my opinion.
where's part 3??

@coppersulphate002 Umm i guess u've never heard of Underground Hip hop which is not played on the radio. That type of hip hop has a good message. I suggest u listen to it.
