Were?
We are enslaved right now and forced to pay taxes to run free schools, medical care, food stamps, bi-lingual teachers, and prisons for every criminal scumbag illegal alien. You see, my Governess, slavery comes in various forms.
Why does one race get to have a history month while the others do not? That's favoritism.
Most people I know don't even give two ****s about Black History Month, anyways.
There already is a gay pride month. June. That's why all the pride festivals happen then.
Better idea.
Abolish all federal holidays.
White history has 11 months out of the year. So MANY racists around here!!!
And I hope you realise that white people were once enslaved, too.
Except, you know, whites were slaves to a few different groups, like the Persians, the Egyptians and the Ottomans.
Why do you feel guilty about holidays?

You do realize that the whites who were enslaved weren't put into slavery BECAUSE they were white, right? That's why I included and underlined the quote in the Mississippi Articles of Secession.
Well, it's not "White" History nor is it "Black" History: it's just history.
But never were they enslaved BECAUSE they were white...which is why I included the underlined quote in the Mississippi Articles of Secession.
But I'm talking about the Africans. The Africans weren't enslaved because they were black, either. They were enslaved because they were efficient, and they fared much better than their previous Native American slave population did.
Except of course they were.
Maybe only 9. In the Tavern I heard that May is hamburger month.
I'm not talking about Mississippi. I'm talking about the Europeans who originally enslaved the Africans (or bought them from African slave traders) and sold them through the Triangular Trade Route/Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade.Again, look at the Mississippi Articles of Secession - they wanted black slaves because the slaves were black.
Well they weren't enslaved because they were white; if that was true the whole European population would of enslaved themselves.Except of course they were.
Ah, the hamburger. White on the outside, black on the inside. I love the hamburger. Two races of flavor living side by side in harmony. I feel like the hamburger represents our nation's ability to overcome its demons and move forward into a racially integrated, more open, more tolerant future free of our petty need to diminish and trivialize others based on something so insignificant as a person's skin color.
Or it could represent two white people in an orgy with a black person. It's really all how you choose to look at it.

I understand that Mississippi did not purchase their slaves from Africa after the Atlantic Slave Trade ended. Of course they purchased "home-grown" slaves; that's a way cheaper method to purchase slaves than getting them from Africa. And some raped some of their female slaves so they didn't have to buy new ones.I'd like to see you back that up, because not only was it easier to purchase "home-grown" slaves...but they already knew English, and so would have been much easier to train.

But once again, I'm not talking about Mississippi. I'm talking about the Europeans who went to Africa and either enslaved Africans or purchased them from African slave traders, and brought them back to the Americas. Those slaves were not enslaved because they were black. They were enslaved because they were a more efficient working force than the Europeans' previous slave force of Native Americans, who usually tended to die off pretty quickly from disease. Africans are genetically better at physical labour, which was what was required of them to be efficient slaves. They were physically stronger and overall tougher than most other groups if indigenous people during this era.
Also, Africans lived in tribal societies, and as a result conflict was always existing. It was easy fro the Europeans to ask a specific tribe or a warlord to give up their prisoners as slaves in exchange for guns and other various western equipment. And as a result of this, it increased the fighting and conflict even more, making it even easier for the Europeans to purchases more and more African slaves.
