Ted, > Do you understand what it does to a man's psyche if you enslave him?

Lots of "comfort women" were enslaved by Japan during the 1910-1945 occupation. Koreans were virtually enslaved by Japan during that era.

Sure, it was a shorter time period than that of slavery, but it is also more recent in history. Even now, the bitterness remains, but that hasn't stopped Korea from entering the first world community in a real short amount of time.

There comes a point where you can no longer be enslaved to your past. That goes true for anyone, from descendants of slavery in the 19th century to victims of systematic rape in the early 20th, to even victims of bullying and racial hate crimes in the post-modern era. To claim that I don't understand what slavery does to a man's psyche assumes that you somehow do. And I really doubt you could.

> Whites have a real problem mixing with other races.

So you live in a predominantly black, Hispanic, or Asian neighborhood? What's it like?

Followed by 100 years? It's not over yet...
