Gessh If youre going to debunk myths you cant do it only in the way you want The Amercian Revolution was based on many different factors slavery only one of them Industrialism was also one of them Many of our founding fathers had slaves up until the time that Lincoln set them freennOh and slavery was the white man putting the black man in the yoke of the plow Sorry but blacks sold blacks into slavery that is how the white people got them But the truth does not end there Whites and native americans were also slaves If you are still disillusioned Africa still has a slavery problem with blacks are kidnapping blacks and  selling them into slaverynnBlacks should get over slavery because you are not slaves you have not been slaves Those who were slaves the ones who had a right to be pissed about it are now dead Move on and concetrate on making the most out of your life that you cannnBlacks fighting for America No Im not one of those who thought they didnt fight until WW but Im sure that many blacks dont know or refuse to acknowledgs that there were free blacks who fought for the south against the north nnI am not racist nnBut I am damn tired of someone expecting something because the color of their skin When I was in high school a black boy came to me and said move over I replied No He went and told the vice principal that I wouldnt allow him to sit down because he was black I only wish I had had the courage to speak up and say that it was because he was rude Had he asked politely I would have shared my seatnnDuring highschool I endure quietly being struck in the back of the head by black girls because I was white I had to endure vicious teasing from them because I was white To what civic group to I complain to to get justice for thisnnI once worked in a video arcade where a young black girl grabbed a moving game and held on to it so that the alarm went off She must have been four so I crouched down not to over whem her talked softly and told her the game was ment to be hit with the mallet and she couldnt hold on to the pieces Her father started screaming at me for correcting his child because she didnt know any better and threated to cause me physical harm I had to run to my office while his wife tried to pull him away Of course she didnt know any better that is why i explained how to play the game to her and you call me racistnnI believe that blacks still have problems because they dont want to let go of the excuse if something doesnt go my way it must be because I am black not that you could have behaved better or worked harder or just like the rest of us poor white folks sometimes you just dont get what you want
