oh, and this was done to white people....by which people?
Socially and racially are not even remotely the same. To even infer that it is, shows a complete disconnect from the reality's of the 2 very different situations.
I'm not sure where you're going to that. White people made white people inferior to themselves before white people made black people inferior to themselves....in the contexts of American history.
Not at all, he was using race as a descriptor, not as an insult.

How, exactly, do you figure? They were denied the same rights and discounted in the same ways as blacks were. To this day, you still have "white trash" white people: poor, ignorant, breeders with no concept of socially acceptable behavior or hygiene.
yeah, but did they make them inferior BECAUSE they were white???????????
no, no they did not. hence the dishonesty and idiocy of your comparison.
yeah, and who forced them into this position due to the color of their skin??
nobody, which is why the comparison is stupid.
Thunder, if you fail to read the entirety of what I post you will always come out looking ignorant and dishonest. I very clearly specified that their inferiority was not based on race. You have neither created an original argument nor made a point by being insulting and childish. Please try again when you actually have a legitimate point to make.
Okay, you want to go there? The tribal leaders in Africa offered up their own men and women to be put into slavery by white men. So there's your equal comparison. These men, women, and children were deemed worthy of servitude and disrespect at the hands of white men by their own black brethren. Good enough for you?
its also just playing games and not taking the topic or thread seriously.
race is a physical attribute that one is born with.
social-inequality is something that can be removed easily.
to compare being poor to being black, is stupid & dishonest.
Tell that to the 1/3 of the US that's on welfare or near poverty. You know, the same group you keep claiming can't get out of their financial position?
Good example.I understand what a double standard is. A big one that comes to mind is "Affirmative Action."
Illiterate.Lies, false accusations and personal attacks. Is that all you have? No facts? No actual debate points? You are living up to your political leaning of "liberal".
we are talking about black people, who were born black and who's ancestors were made slaves for centuries, for the simple reason that they were black.
you are comparing this situation, to poor whites in the USA. the comparison is insane, as no whites were forced into poverty, illiteracy, and being uneducated simply due to the color of their skin.
please try making an honest & fair comparison.

No, you still don't understand it. Illiterate #2.I understand what a double standard is. A big one that comes to mind is "Affirmative Action."
if you are still comparing poor whites in the USA to African slaves in the USA, your comparison is still crap, as nobody forced whites into that status simply due to their skin color, while blacks suffered under slavery & segregation in the USA for five centuries simply because they were black.
your comparison is crap.
Five centuries? 1700 to 2000 is three hunderd years. We didn't get slaves here until the end of the 1600s.
Jesus, Thunder. Read a ****ing book.
Its 2011...and you are still bringing up slavery as if every culture and race throughout history hasnt practiced it (and many still do)...goddamit white boy...stop it...yeah, but did they make them inferior BECAUSE they were white???????????
no, no they did not. hence the dishonesty and idiocy of your comparison.

Thats cuz the Spanish people are racist.no, I am correct. its about four and a half centuries:
The first African slaves arrived in the present-day United States as part of the San Miguel de Gualdape colony (most likely located in the Winyah Bay area of present-day South Carolina), founded by Spanish explorer Lucas Vásquez de Ayllón in 1526.

What does this have to do with the fact that many white slave owners perceived their slaves to be racially inferior?Okay, you want to go there?
