You are part of the class that enslaved them, as a white person you are of the majority class.
Racism is when you feel you are superior to another race and discriminate against that race. When a white person discriminates agianst a black it's from what? Hate of their skin color or culture?
When a black calls you whitey it's because of the years of oppression from whites, a huge difference.

Please tell me how I am part of the class that enslaved anyone. I had no part nor condone the ownership of people. Are you not being racist by grouping me together with other people of the same race?

It doesn't upset me if somebody calls me whitey. It upsets me that I was taught that I'm inherently racist for being white basically, and bombarded with all this stuff about how I need to treat a certain group better (even though I'd never once given a flying sh*t about anyone's own race) but despite this, many many people in that group remain highly, often absurdly racist, as though they were exempt from any of the principles taught...

At least there is no ethnic cleansing going on in the US.

Where did I state or imply that whites were the 'majority race'?
I repeated what I read online from others commenting on 'reverse racism' as calling whites the 'majority race' but that was not my opinion or sharing of any fact I believed.
Other than that, please share....
You are getting really boring. I don't think you really carefully read anything I post, you just get off on being a troll.
Edit Sorry I think I mistook this post as City Indians.
lol

Truly funny.
Cold water works best, though.
All I'm trying to say is that it's rediculous to be pointing fingers this way and that, recounting the horrors inflicted on each other and getting all worked up over things that happened centuries, if not millenia ago.

I blame everybody for the state the world is in today.
No exeptions.
