It didn't, and this year, I've had people telling me to go back to where I came from. White people have decided we have to lose, so we lose.

That's unfortunate that you think that way. You can't blame all of a race for the actions of a few.

What's unfortunate is that those whites who DO think that way now have a political home in America's most powerful political party.

Google FBI Crime Stats. Interesting reading...particularly the homicide data.

The problem with stats is that they don't provide a historical context

"Irish slave trade." FFS, where do you idiots come up with this shit?

History.

"History" doesn't mean "shit you made up to support your racist agenda." Chattel slavery didn't involve the Irish.

It says that white people "didn't do" slavery, black people did. That's not really factual. The other statements are extremely misleading.

It says the white people around today didn't do slavery. Black on black slavery is what started the whole Atlantic trade.

It basically says "we didn't do shit" then "it was black people". White people did buy slaves. And slave sales were hardly the whole issue.

Don't lump those together. The African slave trade was unparalleled in scale. To mention them in the same sentence creates a false parity.
