5) It is thought that the first African Americans arrived in 1619, about 20 of them. Actually, they arrived not as slaves, but became indentured servants or contract laborers in Virginia. At the end of their contract for service, these indentured servants would become free citizens. This carried on for several decades. Slavery was created in small steps. By the 1650's, African Americans were being treated as the property of others, or slaves. It wasn't until the 1660's that slavery laws were enacted.

6) Yes, I feel like slavery never ended. However, it was just transferred to other races. As corporate power has increased in the U.S., the people doing the "low" work that nobody wants to do is now the lower class - Jews, Italians, Mexicans, Eastern Europeans (Caucasians), African Americans and other races do the work and, no, I do not feel that these positions are exclusive to one single race.

I agree with Rebel Yankee. I am white and I have just as many, if not more, financial problems as some "black" people. In Louisiana, where I used to live, almost everyone who was black was on welfare. Up here in South Dakota, there aren't many, but most of them have high-paying jobs. It doesn't matter what color you are in the end. If you're going to start asking for reparations and restitution for races that have been wronged throughout history, be prepared for almost every person in the world to get reparations and restitution. Black people are not the only people that have been persecuted in history, they just seem to like to dwell on their shadowed past rather than look to the future and become a stronger, more successful race.

because we have to be nice or else u ******* will file a complaint that we are racist.

Give me a brake! How many organizations, schools, scholorships, clubs, etc are for blacks only? Tons. How many for whites? None that are even respectable.

No, I do not think whites are better then blacks. Some of my better friends in life have been black and you know what? They say the same thing I will say to you.

People who are into the civil movement are a dying breed. It is over with. Should people who practice witchcraft be angry and pist off at society as a whole because they went through 600 years of hangings and torture? No and neither should you.

It has been my expereince that people who try to make themselves an outcast get treated different and usually negativly. When your own race makes movies that completely degrade themselves and your own people make music that glorify greed, sexual prowess, and women being objects, it sort of makes people like you look silly for even trying to make a statement about prejudice. Maybe you guys should start trying to stop your own culture from degrading yourselves and you might have a better case, or more likely, people might start to look at you in a better light. Try working on the problem in your own kitchen instead of pointing fingers at the neighbors. Teach the mothers how to be good mothers and the fathers how to be good fathers. Teach them to have a little dignity and self respect and speak english the way it is supposed to be spoken. Get a job, get off the welfare and even go and get an education. Believe me, people as a whole think trash is trash, no matter what color you are. I know plenty of them in the area I live in, and guess what? They are all white and have the same problem.

WHY ARE YOU ASKING SUCH A RACIST QUESTION???

Look at what you wrote then ask who is the racist... YOU ARE !

[shashank]

in my world all people are the same. colors doesn't make a person and when you bleed, your blood is the same color as any other races. that's what is wrong with the world today, becasue every races thinks that they are more inferior then next race. if you go back and do your black history alot of the things that were invented were by blacks, but the whites took some of the credit as theirs. hell if you look back what kind of woman did the white slaves owner kept i the house, whether it was for cooking, or delivery babies, and even who was they having sex with. why do you think that we have half breds? no i'm not racial either.

You can ask all these questions but are you really ready to see the response? If they are racist they can't show it in society now. There are laws against prejudice and violence. No one who sees this will give you a truthful response because its a sensitive issue. If you want to really experience racism move to the south.

i'm white and i don't pretend to like black ppl. i don't see them as black. i get to know ppl before i make up my mind as to if i like them or not. it's not the color of someones skin that i look at but what they think and feel. i've dated diff color ppl. i have 2 nieces that r mixed, i love them. my best friend is "black". it's wrong that ppl were slaves back then. i don't know of just one color being slaves now and days. i hear of childern and kids from other countries being slaves now. i know some "white" ppl pretend to like other ppl of a diff. color but i don't know y. y can't ppl just get to know one another and see what they r all about? y do u think all white ppl pretend to like blacks but really hate them? like i said i'm white and i don't care what color ur skin is i like a person for who they r.

[ashbey15]

Why would you ask this? You must be a racist.

[oz]

You sound racist yourself

[kendrix]

I'm black, but why are you asking any of these questions? All whites don't dislike black's just like all black don't dislike whites. Both races are racist. We tolerate each other and get along to a certain extent. No white person on here will truthfully answer your question above.
