<Every time I see you guys post that shit I want to set my hair on fire.<

Stop! Don't do that.. It won't feel very good...

<It is not the same thing. How can you even think that?<

Well, we were talking about slavery. Slavery transcends the color of your skin.

It is how one is treated, or mis-treated.. You were someone's property. That has nothing to do with the colour of one's skin.

<There is a huge difference and it is very obvious to any person of normal intelligence or ethics.<

Nope! I am pretty sure slavery is slavery.. Doesn't matter the color of your skin.

<I am of the same heritage as you and got every break in the world because I am white. I was always the first hired and the last fired. <

Well, that's a completely different story.. Now, you are talking Racism... Not Slavery...

Treating some people different because of the color of their skin, religious leanings, etc.. That has nothing to do with slavery.

<Racism breaks a person down something awful.<

Exactly.. You see... You are confused.. We were talking about Slavery.. You are talking about Racism.

You support reparations to African-Americans because they are Black.. Not because they were slaves.

You don't support reparation to the Irish because they are Caucasian... Not because they were slaves.

There is a huge difference between Racism and Slavery, and it is very obvious to any person of normal intelligence or ethics.
