NINExATExSEVEN 10/26/17 11:27:05 AM #160:	That_Happened posted... NINExATExSEVEN posted... I'm saying that the conversation of slavery that's brought up today shouldn't be used to guilt whites since the majority didn't have slaves. And I (and most important historians) say that the majority of whites benefited from slavery (and Jim Crow), regardless of whether they owned them or not. We don't have to feel guilty about it but pretending as if we are all on the same level is ridiculous. NINExATExSEVEN posted... We have just as much right to talk about it as anybody else. Middle easterners didn't own too many slaves back in early America, so I'm not sure what you mean. EVERYBODY benefited from slavery. Literally everybody today in America has benefited from it. Just because whites benefited more does not mean that the conversation should be one sided. Look I don't get where you're going with this. I pointed out that a minority of whites owned slaves so the majority have no ancestors that were slave owners, so we have fair game when it comes to the conversation. I've never seen you actually defend whites even though you're white, but i have seen you mock them in topics. Oh and minorities who defend them. --- Listen to my story... This... May be our last chance... <cite>NINExATExSEVEN posted [p:889181160] in This TA ca...
