as an immigrant living in texas, i dont experience racism

Don’t be obtuse. The money that kept those industries and banking system alive came from slavery and slave labour.

I think you need to read more - reading extensively helps a great deal.

You'd have to elaborate on that, Im not aware of how plantation slave labor helped keep industry in the Union alive.

How do you think a white boy would be treated if he hung out with an all black group of kids, you dont think the word cracker would be used from time to time? Or if he hung with only asians? Or if a black kid hung out with only asians, you think those asians dads would be any different to him for dating their daughters than the white dad you dealt with?

What you're describing are the ills of growing up, its not right, but its also not exclusive to any set of people, it exists for everyone.

It's just so apparent for me because I moved to the philippines after growing up in america. The differences are so glaring.

For example, if I got invited to an all white, all latino, or all black get-together, with people I hadn't met yet, there was always a level of disparity and hostility. I never felt truly welcome, I always sensed that they viewed me differently.

And then when I get invited to an all filipino gettogether here, everyone is so warm and open and accepting and relaxed, they treat me like I belong.. like why wouldn't I be there.

The same thing when I meet a girl's father. In america usually I get treated with great disdain.

When I meet a girl's father here, they treat me like i'm their son. Sometimes they're trying to win me over instead of me winning them over.

The differences are so great, after growing up as the only asian to now, where I'm treated like the prodigal son with my own people.

All those companies were complicit in slavery and it will do you a lot of good to read the history a lot of those industries. And all the old universities in the US - Harvard, MIT et al were also complicit and were all built by slave labour.

If Oxford, Cambridge universities and banks like Barclays and HSBC in the UK could accept being complicit in slavery - what makes you think it’s different in the US where millions of ****** were kept?

I have to add though that black and latino people are probably less racist than white people lol...

I felt more welcome and comfortable hanging out with them than with white people, and was met with less condescension and and hostility, although there were black and latino people who singled me out, it wasn't as strong as hanging out with all white people.. they definitely biewed me as an outsider off the bat.

I had one black girlfriend in college whose parents I met and he seemed pretty happy with me lol. He was really cool. He also probably liked the fact that I came from money lolll

Girl's moms usually are fine, they usually like me and are supportive, regardless of the race. It was always their dads that was the issue lol.

Black people didn't really "build" the US, to be fair. They mainly worked on cotton fields and then as sharecroppers in the south. Idk if that counts as building it

Some clown will now call you racist for saying that. Facts seem to hurt their feeble minds. Some slave masters also ****ed them... I guess that counts as work too. They certainly weren't scholars, engineers, carpenters, etc... building most of America like some of the dumbasses try to portray.

I’m glad history books were invented because we know your people would try to erase history. “They mainly worked on cotton fields” is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. I’m about to slap you liars in the face with FACTS. Obviously, you don’t know much about History so I highlighted some FACTS that CANNOT be disputed for you. You think lazy Europeans went and got ****** just for cotton? Slavery was without a doubt the catalyst of American economic growth.





If it wasn’t for slavery many major Companies like AIG wouldn’t even exist.



And yes they ráped children, women, and men. They did the same thing to Natives. Judging by your idiotic response I’m sure that’s something you’re proud of Fury.

Here’s a few nuggets for you. Tobacco, Sugar, Cotton, Rice. At one point in America slave owners in just one part of Mississippi accounted for the most Millionaires in USA. That revenue was then passed down to their heirs.

I don’t understand why it’s such a problem that Black Americans help build America just as much as white Americans. We’re all Americans so what’s the problem? Why do some want all the credit?

Im not arguing that Black ****** helped build America, they certainly did, they were used to build the White House and other iconic buildings throughout the old USA.

The argument I am addressing is that the whole USA was dependent on slave labor which is false, the Union banned slavery and economically were better off than the Confederacy because they moved toward industry and away from farming.

And secondly the problem becomes when general statements are made like Black people built America. Black people helped build America, but they weren't the only ones, majority of the building happened post slavery in the early 20th century with the waves of new immigrants arriving.


Regardless, we should recognize black peoples contribution to this country, afterall they're more American than most Americans when we are talking about heritage and ancestry.
