There you go again, actin like you have an exclusive right know what it feels like to be opressed. Your people have been inslaved for hunderds of years? Well guess what my people have been prosecuted and murdered by mobs for THOUSANDS of years. And we started out as slaves adn were enslaved for much longer as well. But we arose wrom it, and so did blacks.
Yes there is rampant racism, and yes the difference in average income and drastic, but is gettin better, and at is possible to make better. Times change. Whether its a good thing or not, today America is the best thing mankind has got to show for itself.
Winston Churchill once said "democracy is a terrible thing, but we have not invented anything better yet", same goes for this country.
Firstly, there is no need to even lower myself to debate this issue. You are talking about a RELIGION. I am talking about a RACE.
The smart ones know this difference. Don't think you're talking to someone who would let you get away with that "Jews have been more persecuted than Blacks" Crap. That gets checked RIGHT AWAY over here, son. Check the history books (like I have
already done), and when you notice some things like the FACT that the Jewish or Hebrew (originally pronounced Haribu- from when they originated in AFRICA) weren't europeans. Thery were Africans. In addition, no one group of people on the face of this goddamned planet have went thru more than Africans and those who descended from them.
LOL it took alot of arrogant-azz nerve to come at me with that madness. Here's another tidbit to run to the library with, sonny boy:
The Jewish Holocaust claimed 10 million lives.
The African Holocaust claimed 100 million lives.
Get your facts straight, because coming sideways at someone who is a student of history won't be a debate, just an embarrassing educational session.
Peace.

Another season, and more adversity to persevere through. We will get the job done, even BETTER than last year.
GO KNICKS!
