Ted does a lot of projecting when it comes to race. He dwells on the subject more than anyone else on this thread and has made more racist comments.

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. Excuse me but to be enslaved by a invading power is not nearly the same as being taken from your country, separated from everything you know and care about and brought to a new country thousands of miles away. Why do you want to underplay the black tragedy in this country? Is it some subliminal racism that motivates this slavery lite perception? I don't get it. 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. I don't think blacks are enslaved to their past.......but I think their past is very much a part of them. People are who they are but they are also part of the people from whence they came. The average black man can not tell you why he does the things that hurt him and how that behavior may be connected to a 150 years of slavery and over a 100 years of discrimination. Its passed down from one generation to the next just as alcoholism is passed generation to generation. Breaking that chain is very difficult. Whites have a real problem mixing with other races. So you live in a predominantly black, Hispanic, or Asian neighborhood? What's it like? Currently, I live in a white neighborhood. In the past, I've lived in a predominately Latino neighborhood and a predominately black neighborhood. However, I don't pretend to be the norm.
