Ok...I agree...you cant mistreat an entire group for years.
So...how many were mistreated by their own in Africa? Millions were sold to both whites and non whites...more to non.
And as far as the right treating minorities for usefulness....what exactly did Obama, or the entire democratic party, do for blacks in the last administration again? Specifically please.
And those who "mistreated by their own in Africa", were probably killed or worse but we never hear about it because, as usual the only time it matters is when a white person is killed.
As for what did Obama and the left do for minorities, I do not know the specifics but I am pretty sure that more was done for them than under any republican admin.
Ah...so only when you hear about it does it make it bad....yeah....let's not research what we hear at all...just react!!!!!
And you're the one that brought up the right mistreating...I was assuming you were an Obama voter and supporter, hence a lefty, and wanted to know what he did for you. If you cant give me any examples, then why the initial statement about the right, and more so why cant you answer?
I can say what I say about the right because I have seen it time and time again. The way the right pushes aside the minority experience by trying to tell them, you have no clue what you are talking about, let me whitesplain it to you.
I said I do not know the specifics, so there was your answer but if you want specifics about the right, just search the threads on ATS or scour the internet for the constant stories about how the right has attacked a minority group or women.
I would but I am not going to be taking off in abit. Maybe tomorrow.
So the right sucks but you cant say what the left has done for you....got it.
Epitome of liberalism...."I don't like what you're saying and I want the exact opposite" #nomatterwhat
Yeah I can honestly say that. So what has the right done for minorities besides belittling their experiences.

If Kanye trying to say too many black people are using slavery as an excuse, why didn’t he just say it?
Many people say Gangsta rap is keeping black people in slavery. What does he say to that? With all the misogyny, saying the n-word and glorifying crime--which he perpetuates and can go be with his 300-pound bodyguards and live in Hollywood while the young black kids he pollutes with that music have to live in the ghetto.
You see this isn't all about race.
It may be Gansta rap that helps keep black people down

Will?
What political party/ideology should Kayne West support?
I am really just looking for that magic year I can refer back to in order to begin being pissed off at "anysomeonething" I can.
I have plenty of empathy for anyone that has had a wrong done to them. I have plenty of sympathy for those I've witnessed the wrong being done.

I wish I had come in early enough for the drive-by "Right-wing whitesplainin' in 3...2...1..."
Maybe you could enlighten us?

I have none for those that hold grudges for something they have neither witnessed nor lived. History is history. If you're going to use it then you should use it from the beginning, NOT from where is convenient for your narrative.
Forget the past. Let is talk about the present. Do you agree or disagree that the minority experience is way different than that of a white person in America? Do you understand the concept of institutionalized racism and that this country and it's law were created for only one group to succeed? Do you understand that the curriculum being taught in school based on the white experience, while negating the minority experience to a footnote in history.

Please feel free to cite examples of everything you've mentioned.
I live in GA. I have never seen any minority be passed over for a promotion based on their race. I have heard plenty of backwoods people say bad things about every race. I have travelled the US 4 times. I have travelled Europe, South America, parts of Africa, and a few countries in Asia.
There is more racism in every single other country in the world ( understand most countries in the world are the same size as states in the US) than has ever occurred in the US. There are more racially motivated killings, more religiously motivated killings, and more killings in general worldwide (not US) than any amount in the US. We, as a country, have a %2 lower murder rate than most.....
Speaking of the minority experience in America, where are the threads that praise James Shaw Jr , an unarmed man who disarmed a mass shooter? Where is Trump's praise, the man who literally tweets about everything and anything.
Gee why is this man not being showered with praise and why is a man who was too cowardly to attend the white house correspondence dinner, being praised on a daily basis. Might have to do with his race,, what do you think?
To answer your question, there are stories all over America about racism being alive and well but you choose to ignore them or lessen their experiences. You have just proven you know nothing about the minority experience and have only proven that you think racism isn't that bad based on your personal experience or what you choose to believe.

Think he meant if they took it for 400 years and did nothing about it that was a choice .
I actually don't like thinking. I think people think I like to think a lot. And I don't. I do not like to think at all." —Kanye West

Sometimes people write novels and they just be so wordy and so self-absorbed,” West said. “I am not a fan of books. I would never want a book’s autograph.”
“I am a proud non-reader of books. I like to get information from doing stuff like actually talking to people and living real life,” he said.

But therein lays the fundamental problem of the study of history and the belief that enslaved African descendants were passive , they were anything but, this is not however the forum to discuss what I know on the matter, because we are mainly discussing Kanye but the man admitted he doesn't read books, and if he don't then he have no clue, kinda like flatearthers some of whom are rap artist.

He's breaking conventional thought.
Agree or disagree, you have to admire his free spirit.
He's as much an idol as anyone who breaking a stereotypical mold.
Wouldn't you agree that it would be refreshing to see a gay gun owner walk into a bakery for their wedding cake?
We stereo-type ourselves.
We shape ourselves to conform so much that we lose the ability to think freely. Instead we look to ideology, social media to see HOW we're supposed to think.
Dear god in heaven, it's almost as if our society has become afraid of voicing our own thoughts because they might not get any likes!
