No, I'm looking at how the past shaped the modern era.
Firstly, it was pretty common for other places to have a clear path to emancipation. It wasn't necessarily easy or applied to everyone or strictly enforced, but there was commonly a clear implied path. That was not true in America. With very few exceptions, if you were a slave, you were a slave for life.
Secondly, America was unique from what was common in other place in the fact that the slavery system was so race-based that virtually everyone in the country of a particular ethnicity was a slave.
Those differences have a huge impact on what came afterwards.
"He believes that the purpose of the civil war was to give blacks equal rights and that racism directed at blacks pretty much ended at that time."No, I said that the War Between the States freed the slaves. The Emancipation Proclamation was mentioned specifically and I also made clear that changes don't happen overnight and there has been a steady progression in the advancement of all minority rights. The claim that I said racism toward Blacks ended after the war is just a bald-faced lie. But that's not surprising as you just hear what you want to hear and say what you want to say and everything that you say, hear, and do is through the prism of racism.
But I am truly overjoyed that you respond and freely express your thoughts and I hope you continue to do so. You are so clueless that you are a prime example of why we have this racial divide. You have no idea the negative effect that you have on decent people that want all people, including Blacks, to prosper and do well in life. Americans are mostly a decent and generous people, but when they hear someone like you, someone that represents a huge majority of Black people, they are sick of it. They are sick of being told how horrible and racist they are. How no matter what they do to improve the lives of Blacks they just get spit on the face and then are demanded to get on their knees and bow to Black people. They, we, are just not going to put up with it anymore. It's reaching a tipping point. People like you breed resentment and anger and do a huge disservice to the many decent Black people out there. It's become more and more apparent to generally decent people that you are a parasitic, predatory, and violent culture, and the only choice left to us is to separate and defend ourselves from your savage, angry people.
So keep talking. Keep feeling sorry for yourself and living a life obsessed with victimhood. Keep blaming others for your failures as you continue to inseminate women and take no responsibility for the children you sired leaving generation after generation of fatherless children. Continue to drink and take and sell drugs and commit crimes and acts of violence. Continue to slaughter each other and burn the cities that you live in that perpetuates the cycle of poverty and failure. You've pushed us to the point that we just don't care anymore save the ever-shrinking class consumed with White guilt who will write you a check as you burn down their businesses. Walmart will soon realize that 100 million dollars they donated to your "cause" was just money pissed away and did nothing but fatten the pocket of the race-baiters like Sharpton that pull your puppet strings.
Preach on. It's time you educated more people as to what you believe and where you are coming from so we can come closer to finally ending you and ending this cancer in our society.
As I wistfully mused in my first post on this thread, just how so much better this country would be without people like you and your kind. Americans will gladly pay to set you up somewhere else where you can live free from the White devil. Your own land and your own country. You'll even get the mule promised so many generations ago. Now that's reparations that I can get behind.
