Y'all can probably find the link, but I got there from his twitter feed.

Anyway. The 'story' is basically a non-starter if it were written about her talent/ ability and he's moderately upset with himself for 'taking the bait' but his closing paragraph/point is about her posing nude for a magazine owned by an old white guy is pretty funny.

In people's own personal experiences, how prevalent do you think this hatred is?

Expound. Black hatred of whites? Extremely prevelant. White hatred of blacks? Not as much as they believe but still around. Probably increasing the more we're accused of being racist and privileged constantly while blacks are not challenged for their blatant racism.

That is all.

Regardless of race, if you were in the Northwest Territory (prior to states being carved out) you could be conscripted to build roads. Which would have been very low paying involuntary servitude. If you can prove that one of your ancestors was consripted to build roads in the NorthWest Territory, and you as for repartations - or at least wage reparations comparable to current union prevailing wages?

This is a partial truth. There was slavery in the North, but by the end of the War of Secession between Britain and the 13 colonies it was mid country and south.

That was built by shitty wages paid to semi literate Southerners and dirt poor European immigrants.

Slavery was common practice all over the world. So was the draft.

Slave owners in the south were a minority. And a lot of slave owners bolstered their work force with poor whites

So am I supposed to read that article, and then change what I've said on everything before this because she's black?

I think the appropriate reaction has been said a few times in this thread so far

Nobody expects anything Woody.

Shitty wages paid to immigrants is an American institution. They were free to not work, weren't they?

Yep.

Life was probably a lot shittier than than it is now and probably a whole lot shittier in West Africa. not sure about Slovenia Slovakia Poland Hungary Yugoslavia etc.

No idea if any of my ancestors were indentured servants.

Yeah that whole thing never really died out for them. They have been keeping slaves since old testament times.

@pumpkin-eater said:

On a side note, are there really people who think slaves built this country? And why do people keep ignoring the fact that many of the slaves brought from Africa were already slaves in Africa?

There's no political or racial gain by acknowledging that other races kept slaves including blacks, arabs and American Indians.
