"You were never a slave, and yet here you are making yourself a victim" Slavery is apparently over but is the slave mentality gone? Are blacks in society still not being preferred by a vast majority based on how light they are? (based on one of the slave owners separating dark blacks from light blacks saying if you separate them we'll always own them), Did 9 people not get shot for being black? Do blacks still not get called *******? Does stormfront not exist? Do I still not get sneered at when I pass an all white neighbourhood? Did someone not hold his friend back so I can pass first and sneer and whisper like I was some disease? Did my dad not get let go in Luxembourg in favor of a white doctor? Did my sister not suffer racism in Luxembourg? The list is endless. Just because racists can't tie us by our feet in the back of their vans and drag us for miles to our deaths anymore (1980's), or lynch us and hang us on trees and not face jail time doesn't mean racism is over. Slavery was one part of it and the repercussions are still there.

"You class ALL white people as oppressors and again you're the victim." I didn't use to. My exes were white, friends are white, but the older I get the more I see of the oppressive behaviours, but still no not ALL whites are oppressors, even though some don't realise they're doing it.

" Or do you think only black people can be victims of racism?" No but because the white race is the more (I hate to use the word dominant) "in charge" race, their racism is more effective than when a black does it. Let me hear about a black cop shooting a white kid that just had skittles in his hand and he gets away with it for example? Nope was never going to happen.

"My people suffered terribly in concentration camps in WW2, in fact they've been victimised and persecuted for centuries and they still are.

I agree to stop if everyone stops
