Race in America

America’s Wicked Past

By Jade McLove

Back 100’s of years ago in a world that a pure white snow flake wouldn't of been able to survive in; America owned slaves. Slaves that were sold into slavery by other...GASP...BLACK PEOPLE. People who lived in Africa their own greedy people. See they sold the captives or the conquered into slaver...something which has happened forever. I’m not going to fact check it because I did alot of intensive studying on black history in College and on my own. As I find African American History the most interesting History that America has. I personally really love one book written by a former female slave about how bad slavery really was.

Yes you had the so, so Masters, the Bad masters and the really great masters...I use the little m because no man should be MASTER over another man. But I degres, anyway I love the liberal nit wits how never studied the History and all the great black men who fought during and after slavery ended to make sure that black kids where enabled to recieve an education, because really the deficiet that most blacks at that end of slavery had was their inability to read and right. So I believe it was Mr Booker don’t quote me ont hat who fought for blacks to have the right to learn the read and write as He had done.

It’s amazing to me that America doesn’t focus on the positive. Like I told my black friend at work America has come so far in such a short period of time in regards to the way African Americans but I’ll call them black people are treated. And she said yeah, but two kids where murdered by whites in a lynching type murder. Well I said even so, there is always going to be one or two crazies that are in any race, but still there isn’t one half of our country who owns slaves and for the most part most NORMAL white people aren’t burning crosses in their front yard. So can we focus on the positive. And she said; “but there are still places in America that black people are scared to go to.” I told her; “I didn’t say things where perfect but their hell of a lot better than they used to be.” That was when she said; “yeah you’re right about that. Can I hear a hell yeah people?

Even in the 70’s when I was growing up not being white wasn’t OK, and I was harassed in school most of the time I was there. I was the victim of racism simply because no one could identify me as anything. So I hung out with the black kids because they where the only ones who where Hispanic or White. So I know what it’s like when people don’t like your race.

Still I think its way better to day in race relations than it has ever been, and we the American people are definitely better for it.

Still you gotta have that one liberal friend who claims to have been down against racism against blacks. Stating it proudly like a badge or something in front of a Black woman. I just thought it was classes and a form of looking down on someone with the: “see I’m white and I can care about blacks?” That’s why when my other co-worker left my black friend told me she’d bring me the article she had read on Facebook. See, I don’t see color, or racism...I just see it for what it is, I see racism as what happens when people fail and need a scapegoat to blame their failures on. With the Jews are to blame, that blacks are to blame, the Muslims are to blame, but you’ll never hear a racist blame themselves for their own shortcomings.

I think we should pay racists to get the education they so deservingly need to stop being so stupid, it’s really ignorant to hate people for the way they look.
