Comment 4/3 (Yes I overran sorry.)

I say this only because I never hear a peep about slavery from black people in the UK. Just America. Seems somehow fashionable to shout racism when you're luck is down, but in the mean time you have 'icons' and 'role models' like 50 cent glamorising guns, rape, and mistreatment of women.

That's the now, and you're complaining about slavery, which is, history?

Please look at the whole picture.

i do love your comment great points, but in the uk specially there's more racism there than America, just look n Youtube alone all the racist comments are left by white guys from the UK chk it out, they are all openly racist, skinheads and Natzis listen that's probably why you havent heard black people there talking about racism because its so open there, so there's no need to talk about it, its known you should chk that out first before you think theres no racism in the UK. please.

In under a minute, you blame Whitey for slavery. Blacks where kidnapped and sold by Blacks. The slave trade was well developed in Africa well before Europeans began sailing around the world. What's more, it was the evil blue-eyed devils that where the first race to outlaw slavery, which still exist on the Dark Continent.

ok thats like buying a stolen car, i mean people naturally knows whats wrong or right. so if someone sold you a stolen car and you knew it was stolen you would still take it drive it around and when the owner wants the car back you would blame them for not protecting their car better right. Listen i blame had a part in this but yea mostly i blame the people who kept it going even thought they knew it was wrong so yes i blame whites.

I'm sick of bitter white people watching videos about black people, and leaving rude comments. Most of us don't even want reparations.

Most people black call themselves African American but half do not even know how many generations ago their people where in Africa. My grandfathers were from Ireland and Germany, but I cannot legally be called an Irish American or a German American. I have no option to bubble in on my application. I only have Caucasian. I am not a Caucasian. My family has never been to the Caucus mountains. Why am I allowed to be labeled a color, white, but you refuse to be labeled as so?

@moolah55729 I am too!!! THAT MAKES TWO OF US! They should know this is for US as a people! We don't even care about their stupid videos on War and dumb shit that they like to praise!

I learned that many races and cultures were used as slaves or virtual slaves, esp Irish and Scots by English, but including poor English children too, and their parents.

Jews of course. Many others.

However, I much ack that post-Emancipation conditions reverted in America, and persecution endured until the early 1960s, or else there would have been no need for a Civil Rights Act.

Today, there are racist whites and racist blacks, but a heck of a lot of social prestige for blacks too.

every race were slaves damn ppl can be dumb go to school and find out and read stop trying to act like we was the only slaves the reason why its so talk about because it was the most recent and it was the last of slavery in a couple thousand years it will be new a breed of slaves i think it will be proably caucasian and that will be talked about

[takenbythesky]

i always knew taught about slavery through blk american indian and european ancestory up bringing. but the moment I really realized the impact that it would for ever have on my life was when I first saw or heard about the Wiz. I remember thinking to myself "My goodness a blk Wizard of Oz is needed cos there were none in the movie how rediculous, mankind is really horrible and I have to live with this bunk " I was maybe 8 or 9

[takenbythesky]

all three of you are hot . very good looking

[TheKingShakaZulu]

the point i am trying to make here is that, nobody wants to listen to the darker people of this world yet everyone can come up on youtube and try and justify slavery by saying messed up staff like "your chiefs sold you" or "slavery was going on in Africa before we came" if you truly want an almost-honest account of slavery and its impacts, why dont you listen to the people who actually lived it? you cant read books written (to make them feel better) by the oppressor and think you know it all

[TheKingShakaZulu]

if you are caucasian then your knowledge about slavery, racism and colonialism will only depend what someone is saying and in this case the account of the slave/colonial master. but, we all know that it is the nature of man to never admit when he's wrong so he does whats in his power to justify his wrong deeds.

why cant you open your heart and your mind and look at the world exactly the way it is? right now Jewish Holocaust (around 300000) is "celebrated" more than black holocaust (over 60 mil)

[TheKingShakaZulu]

@jsjs525

with all the respect but, are you caucasian?

the reason why i am asking is that i can tell from your post that you have mis-informed.

one more thing, if you really wanna understand slavery, racism, or colonialism, you need to be open minded. dont be too quick to be biased towards a certain group (either the master or the slave) and try to defend it because by doing so, you will miss out on certain issues therefore making it difficult to truly appreciate the intensity of the situation

@Moody1995

been almost a week now still waiting for a response.... so I'm going to guess that you were just being a smart-ass and don't care to hold up your end in a conversation....it's too bad.... I don't mind explaining my stance on any issue... but please do yourself and others a favor, don't just post smart-ass comments unless you're willing to back them up with a debate or conversation.... save it for humorous videos/subjects and non-serious issues....

[jsjs525]

@Moody1995

Is that sarcasm and what portion of what I said were you referring to? I made 5 comments with a lot of information in each... so you're going to have to give me a little more information than "Why don't you tell the Jews that?" for me to respond to that....
