you're right meat...nobody told me to get worked up, and i probably shouldn't have, it looks bad on me, but we've been here before and racism does get to me on the level of IGNORANCE, worse than gay bashing, which is weird for me...
sorry guys but that little fuck really struck a nerve...it happens to the best of us...

First of all, I don't think that you were "put in chains" - and as for being "oppressed", that's a matter of opinion. Most of us have ancestors that were oppressed in all manners.

This "servitude" racket was the same as "slavery", and sometimes worse - as the black slaves knew this very well. Many were sent to Barbados and other hellholes, where they died from the work and conditions. Do you know where the word "kidnap" comes from? It was Cockney for "Kid-nabbing" - which is exactly what happened, and they were forced to work, sometimes overseas. Orphans were particularly singled out for this. A starving adult in Europe could be sentenced to life for stealing an apple from the orchid of the ruling classes, OR take the servitude rap. Sometimes they were shanghaied right out on the street.
A lot of this was still going on well into the 19th century, along with slavery of blacks. Eventually, after these slavery systems were outlawed, there were tenant farmers and other bad jobs.
Words like "cracker" and "redneck" probably came into use when these people's forefathers were indentured servants.
They donā??t teach you this stuff in schools, but it happened.
An interesting book about this topic is They Were White and They Were Slaves: The Untold Story of the Enslavement of Whites in Early America, by Michael A. Hoffman, Dresden N.Y.: Wiswell Ruffin House 1992 (fourth edition).

i believe it all depends on the comfort level of you and those around you... me persanaly i greet my boys like that all the time both black and white but then again im comfortable with them and they are comfortable with me altho i wouldnt recomend others that arent comfortable with the people around to try because for instance the people im around would not take it so kindly if someone they were not comfortable with greeted them they way i do... take it how you want but thats the way me and my friends see it... if you dont understand maybe you should have a discussion with a member of the opisit race, i have and it makes you feel very uncomfortable at first but what you will learn makes it all worth it

whatever happened to "what's up MAN" or "what's up YO" or "what's up DUDE"...i'm sure anyone can fit one or the other into their own style....i still have "jetlag" from bitchin' earlier about this sorry...but i love everyone as i've stated plenty of times before...color is but a distinction of our true nature and is merely part of what makes us beautiful to one another...i admire the african-american "stereotypical lifestyle" as much as i do anyone else who lives differently than i do...smoke blunts with whomever passes by and live in harmony, what's wrong with that? it's not a black thing...it's a love thing...or a friend thing if that word freaks you out too much...don't hog it, flog it!!
