Sure, one could argue that modern white people shouldn't have to pay for their ancestors mistakes. But it happened. It's unfortunate, but true. In my opinion, black people have a right to be pissed at white people. One could also argue that black people were not the only people used as slaves. That's true. Hell, slavery even still goes on today. I guess my point is, black people don't get offended for "nothing".
so because of what some white assholes did back in the day, i must suffer... because of something is, was and always will be completely out of my power, i have to deal with this shit? i don't think that's fair... actually i think it's pure bullshit... unless you were alive back in those days, and were mistreated and all that other bullshit, you don't have a right to take anything out on white people, and vice versa... it's in the past, all those people are long dead, so let this die as well... i'm not a slave owner, nor am i for slavery, and you're 'people' are not still being opressed and enslaved... so basicly i guess all the people around here, are just riding the train and having fun at my (and other people's) expense just becuase of shit that happened to people they didn't even know, that just happened to share a skin color... sorry, but to me it's all a giant pile of bullshit.
