White Culture: Why Black People Have Always Suffered




Like generations of black Americans growing to hate whites?


American whites did something, extremely bad, for a long, long time.


The depravity of gangsta culture? I know where that come from.



It was white America's lack of regard for human life - or, as one Althouse commenter recently stated, an "indifference" to it - that attitude is confirmed as a 400-year old historical fact.


Could hundreds of years, working for nothing under a mind-blowing level of white violence, have made black America poor today, too?


And isn't white America responsible for settling the debt?


Do whites ever consider, after the Civil War (which whites today are happy to talk about) the country reneged on every political agreement it made with blacks, and then laid on 100 years of new Jim Crow restrictions - which whites aren't too keen to talk about now - when judging how some blacks feel about whites, and the country?


Do they consider white culture invented covering black men in honey before making them sit on anthills? White culture filled our mouths with feces? White culture raped and whipped and castrated and chopped limbs - and what they didn't do, they made blacks do to each other?


Skinning black people to make furniture, public lynchings with children, picnic baskets, and religion, in tow - what does that do to a people - and what does it say about the white culture of our captors?


Honestly - would you be "happy" to live with the people who did all this to your family for hundreds of years?




Whites also like to pretend this legacy is "ancient history", but it was going on long after I was born, and of age to know about it.


I knew when Malcolm X was murdered, and watched MLK's funeral with my own eyes - am I supposed to forget why whites killed them?


Am I supposed to deny every single thing my family said happened to them, by the hands of whites, just to survive with them now?


Whites today say the problem is black culture, but that's simply a dodge for the sins of white culture before, and since, because whites still insist on it.


Generally, American whites always insist on getting their way - and they fetishize sex and money above all else - maintaining their status quo through brutal violence.




Here's another well-known historical fact about American white people:


When faced with blacks, they have a really strong inclination for trying to twist reality.


I think that's why white NewAgers have to "find themselves":


They can't imagine what anyone else could recognize them for,...

  1. There's that indifference to human life I spoke of - anything but just dealing.

    "They did it, too" does not excuse America, or white people, for their crimes.

    And, I bet you, I've traveled this planet more than you have - I've been to China and the Middle East, lived in Europe - so your lecture on how wonderful American whites are falls on deaf ears.

    I'm black - those places only look inhospitable to you because you're white and they don't like you either.

    As long as whites insist on attitudes like yours, no place makes me cry for home, but makes me wonder how the hell I'm ever going to get out of here again.

  2. Anybody who understands the history of this country and has the nerve to look at blacks and Indians, talking about "You've got it good", is a madman.

  3. Everything in this posting exemplifies the sickness of internalizing hatred. Don't forget that it was other African nations who sold your ancestors to the Europeans. Don't forget that slavery and the slave trade had been a major institution in Africa and the Middle East (and to some very real extent still is today) for thousands of years. The one part of the world where slavery had wholly died out was Western Europe. It was the rise of early modern capitalism that revived it and led to the trans-Atlantic slave trade - a grotesque and horrifying episode in history, yes. "White" people - an imaginary category - aren't the problem. Greed, ignorance, and hatred are the problems. You are guilty of the first two in this post. Let go of the rage before it eats you alive.
