Yes but no race has been slave in a massive scale like the blacks.......
Agreed. Slavery amongst blacks was the most horrendous instance of that depraved institution, at least from what I've learned. Agreed that other races had it worse, though. At least the blacks aren't in danger of extinction. Still, I'm not going to sit and be thankful for not being exterminated. The right to exist is something that should never even be in question.

On the other hand, there is no possible way that you can blame the white people of today for what their ancestors did hundreds of years ago. Yes, black people were oppressed for hundreds of years, but that excuse isn't an excuse for everything. Yes, because of slavery, I believe we (black people) have been set back, but it's not something to use as an excuse. Most white people of today are pretty nice, decent people. More than likely, almost all of their ancestors at some time or the other owned a black slave. It doesn't make their decendent a bad person. It's only those people who are still bigots that should be beat.
