Did you forget that the majority of people who died while fighting for the freedom of slaves were white? If you are going to judge ALL white people based on history, then you should be grateful that the majority of white people did not believe in slavery. Sure, some white people owned slaves many years ago. Did you know that it was another group of WHITE people who died fighting for slaves to be free? (Yes, I know not only white people died during the civil war - but they were the majority).

How do you determine whose ancestors were bad and whose were good? Are you nice to the white people whose ancestors fought for your freedom but mean to those whose ancestors were confederates? Since they are all white, how could you possibly tell the difference just by the color of their skin? And what about people who are now racists, but their ancestors were not? If you judge white people based on history & not on their own actions, you would need to love the racist whose ancestors died for your freedom.

Did you know that black people had white slaves even before the Americas were discovered? I'm talking about when the moores (did I spell that right) conquered a part of italy, made many of the people slaves and tried to breed out the italian blood by raping the italian women. I guess this makes all black people bad now, doesn't it?

I'm sure the vast majority of ALL PEOPLE would agree that this was a horrible crime regardless of who committed it. Did you know that 'just a year or two ago' a white man was beat to death by a mob of black people after getting in a car accident? They were the judge, jury & executioner. But I guess that is okay with you prettygyrl, the guy who was killed was white.

prettygyrl, I make this easy for you:

Bad things happen to good people. Bad things happen to bad people. Not all white people are bad. Not all white people are good. Not all black people are bad. Not all black people are good. Not all little green men will melt you with their lasergun. My point? Stop looking at the colors and start looking at the actions. Stop standing in the way of social progress and instead become a part of it.
