so why do white people tell colored people that we should be grateful we don't face racial persecution as if racism was around from the beginning of humanity.
-
Racism HAS been around since the beginning of humanity. All beings on earth have some sort of prejudice against the unknown, whether you be a white skinned human or a lowly sardine, traveling along the current with your family.
Your argument is invalid. As usual.
-
^^ no it fucking isnt. Do you research mate, racism wasn't around at the time of Adam and Eve.
do your research and you'll find out the first historical evidence of racism occurred at the end of the 16th century with the start of the
slave trade from Africa to Britain and to America. It divided people into races and decide that Black Africans were considered an inferior race.

when have the white people announced this?? what did the coloured people say??
-
lol @ Adam and Eve.
I suggest you do your research. The 16th century is pretty recent in the grand scheme of things. If you want to go back even further lets examine why we have the modern race divide for real.
Africa is the cradle of human life, you agree? And don't give me that christian bullshit we know it's not true.
Anyway, Africa = origin of human life.
Original man = black.
Albinism = lite skin, scared the original man. Light skin seen as sin or monstrosity = banished.
Light skinned people migrate north to Europe, thus creating continent of light skinned individuals, aka white people.
Apparently racism was around at the beginning of man, only it was in the favor of blacks...Well, look how that original act of fear and prejudice turned out for them...
Yes, you're done for the day. Re-read if you have to. I provided a nice concise description racism at the beginning of humanity for you, you have no reason to retort with anything but a cosign.

WOW
the lengths some people will go to in making up information to win an argument.
-
There was no racism in the time of Adam and Eve because there were only those two people in the garden of Eden, as Eve was made from Adam's rib we can assume they had similar superficial genetic characteristics like hair and skin tone. It was only after they both ate from the Tree of Knowledge that they became to think in new dynamic and creative ways: they discovered shame, jealousy and eventually racism followed when Adam's descendants started calling themselves the 'Chosen People' therefore implying that anybody else is inferior.
Jesus later came along and said 'no you got it wrong, we are all God's children'.
This upset the 'Chosen People' because it threatened the psychological foundation that had sustained them throughout the centuries, so they petitioned the local authorities to kill that man...
-
Just a thought and correct me if i am wrong, but isn't it too simplistic to say we all came from Africa? Africa is a continent and particularly North Africa, there are a light of light skinned people, in Egypt you couldn't exactly call them black etc. So isn't it possible that the white people who migrated lived in a part of Africa which was not inhabited by what people think of as todays black people and therefore there was no kicking out. Surely the premise that they were relies upon them all living together but Africa is absolutely huge and there are vast areas of land which were uninhabited, or inhabited by only a few people.
-
The 'people' that came from Africa and spread out across the world were not 'people' in the sense of we as homo-sapiens today.
Around 5 million or so years ago early hominids spread out across the globe, from there Man continued to develop in different regions, his genetics adapted to the environment, leading to the diversity of human characteristics we find in people from different regions today.
Some of us in isolated areas of the globe perfected and developed ways of living in our environment, like indigenous peoples way of living remained unchanged for thousands of years. They had no need for the wheel or to develop sophisticated weaponry.
In other areas of frequent interaction between people, the exposure to different people through culture and war helped spur and necessitate innovation in thinking.

LMAO! But on the real, however racism occurred, nowadays people of every color are guilty of it. Add tribalism and religious prejudices and all that shit and you'll clearly see that mistreatment for superficial reasons is no exclusively white behavior.

Dumbest quote I've ever seen on the Dub. And that's saying a lot.

I have it on good authority Satan called Eve a dirty nigger bitch right after she bit the apple.
-
racism was around before humans even existed.
right after the big bang red space dust captured and abused blue space dust. coincidentally, this is also the point in time when the crips and bloods were formed.
its some crazy shit, yo. do your research.

Don't know about that homie, I would say racism has been around as long as different races have been around, as people are always going to have some inclination to prefer themselves and those who resemble them as superior. And there is evidence of racism in recorded history before the 16th century.
However, I do agree with you that it was definitely taken to the extreme level in the transatlantic slave trade in that black = slave and white = free. Because in previous forms of slavery it was usually the result of a lost battle or war, or extreme poverty, rather than one's racial background.
-
this guy is retarded, before the slave trade ever came to africa there were crazy tribal (race) wars, shit tribes would capture another tribe and sell them into the slave trade. an thats just what was happening in africa, i just use that as an example because he said the slave trade started racism. fucking idiot

there were white serfs in medieval times before the new world was discovered...there were also black slave drivers...theres this show on over here where celebrities trace back their lineage and this black tv chef found out he was descended from one

lol at reffering to adam & eve in this conversation. thats train of thought or train of faith?
on the scientific shit, i'm with you Illuminati...
-
racisms been around, and white people didnt start it, basically heres an example, a cave man sees a different caveman doing things differently, it confuses him and makes him mad and kills the other caveman for it, theres the first case of racism.
lol at white people. way to back to grade school.
-

as much as i agree it does piss me off when peopel quote Ras Kass as gospel lol
-
WTF @ white people banished from africa, light skin devoloped after people migrated.
LMAO @ people still thinking shit in the bible actually happened.
Racism probally occured before the human species fully developed, animals who live in groups probally kick everybody who is too different to be considered one of them out.
I think Ego has allot to do with racism as well: we all want to feel better then other people so ofcourse people are going to say my race > your race.
-
its a natural response, to protect your tribe from others. your initial reaction would be to fight the other tribe to protect your own. its only now since we have become so smart that things like racism have become a problem. we beleive we are no longer animals so we have invented higher thoughts such as love, compassion etc.

but my example is a primitive from of racism, they saw another tribe or another cave man and beat him or her cuz they didint know her, they were different or did things differently.
-
Racism on earth actually comes from a select few. Those same select few are responsible foe atrocities all over the planet.
Racism is propagated by the elite to keep the masses fighting each other, instead of the real problem.
If u r racist in this day and age, then its bcuz u don't think for urself
-
Well I'm glad this thread sufficiently backfired on numb nuts, what an idiotic concept to believe in.
Jrome, nobody is above influence. To say anything about a term like racism is going to be relative to the time we live in. It will constantly change and constantly be held in different lights. Just this evening I heard a bunch of blacks whining on CNN about how Obama is no differen tthan Jesse Jackson and there's no such thing as an uncle tom. We still deal with a wide spectrum of racial beliefs, from yours to mine to momo's to some uppity nig nong who writes for the huffington post. It's just what we live with and will always live with in America.

Hahaha, Momo keeps losing.

portugal was the first european country to start slavery in 1441. in 1444 the mercado de escravos was built in lisbon. slavery been around since the vikings, muslims & jews etc. do your research :-[
