What we did to the black race in the United States of America is beyond criminal! (#4456)

     Many remember the tale of when the Mayflower arrived at Plymouth Rock, Mass. in 1620. But few know the tale of the slave ship White Lion that landed a year earlier in Jamestown, Virginia bringing the first slaves to the North American shores. That would not be the last slave ship to arrive from Africa as over the next 240 plus years Africans stolen from their homes on another continent, were brought here to the Americas as property. They were free men and women in Africa but not in the Americas. Nearly 250 years later after enduring the type of suffering no one can imagine The United States had a civil war in order to free our nation from the infamous slave trade.
     But instead of treating our African descendant American born brothers and sisters in the human race with the human right of equality we further subjected them to a subset of class that discriminated, punished, and even tortured them for trying to realize the American dream. So for over 400 years now we the White race in America have shown that we are the real threat to equality that we only demand for ourselves. If ever a race of individuals deserved a recompense at the hands of another race of folks it is the black folks deserving it from we white folks. Yet even today we still treat our black brothers and sisters with such a disdain in an open and filthy way that I am sure we whites deserve something even more detrimental than reparations owed.
     I know many of us white race folks are of an integrating mind and that is progress but too many of us are not and that is the mental illness that began the slave trade to begin with. The depth of our white race depravity cannot be sugar coated or brushed aside with excuses or denials. We are the culprits in one of the worst human conditions for 400 years ever brought to the history of the world. Our collective shame should always be in our minds as we try to reverse that which we started. Bringing all Americans into our society with no condition as to race, or gender on an equal basis is the least we can do and surely not all that we should do for the lives we stole for our own personal gain.
