Slavery In today's Society

I will talk about slavery today. Now, I am not racist. If you think you will be offended, leave now. Thank you, I can now go forth.

Okay, so we all know that "African Americans" (form now on i will say blacks) were enslaved because of their skin color hundreds of years ago. This is the basis of my post today, hundreds of years ago. I will get back to that, moving along. So they were enslaved to do jobs for the richer white population, like be maids, butlers, farm workers etc. They were bought and sold by traders and lots of money was made during the slave trade.

But the point of my post today is quite simple - remember how I said, hundreds of years ago? Sure you do. Well, it was hundreds of years ago, why should we bitch about it now? WE ALL know & accept the fact that slavery was wrong, and that's why the majority of countries have outlawed it. But come on people, the last legal slave in America was when? Around the civil war I believe? The civil war ended in 1860's or so, and that's about 150 years ago. No one alive today could have ever had a slave (legally, anyway).

So okay, our (by our, I mean whites) ancestors enslaved people 150 years ago. Well, we can't do anything about that today can we? No. Now here comes the biggest point of my post. Grow up! You heard me. Slavery was 150 years ago, forget about it.

Let me give a comparison. An ancestor of yours killed someone 150 years ago, and that ancestor is long dead. The police come and harass/bother/even perhaps charge you with this crime. Now, anyone with an IQ of 71 can see the similarity. Point being, you can't charge other members of the family because of something that someone did 150 years ago, for all intents and purposes, you might not even know them. NO ONE is responsible for another's action.

Something else I'd like to say before finishing off. Black history month? Black parade? Black this black that. Bullshit. Does the black population deserve a history month? Sure, but how about white history month? Or Hispanic, or Asian? I explained why slavery shouldn't be a factor, so I don't need to explain again. As well, any kind of "donations" or "charities" are in the same league. Scams, that's it. Trying to abuse the fact that your ancestors were enslave so you turn a quick buck? Give me a break.

Thank you for reading & feel free to post and comment, but anything like "OMG!@!@ YOU RACIST FUCK!" Will be mocked by terms of an edit. I am not a racist, I just have what they call "common sense".
