"First, I think that with white men, there is a certain mystique that comes with being made to feel inferior or submissive to black men. I’m sure this stems from the simple fact that white men have dominated everything in America and most of what we know of the Western world for centuries including such things as slavery- be it outright slavery or corporate slavery"

No statement and belief has ever been more false and inaccurate. No offense to anybody... i truly love Americans...but the real "problem" about Americans is exactly the fact that they don't know history...
Slavery is not a white thing. Slavery is a human being thing, unfortunately. Black people have known slavery for millenniums both as slavists and enslaved. Same thing for the white poeple. In many parts of the world there are still BOTH black and white people enslaving both white and black people, kids and women and men, indiscriminately. Muslims have enslaved people as well as Xstians and Jews have. The Chinese still practice slavery nowdays and so do the Indians and the Pakistanis. Black people in the Dominican Republic enslave fellow skin-coloured for the cane-cutting business: kids, women, men, all black, are captivated by other black men from the Dominican army and made work at gun point. North African Arabs are estimated to have enslaved as chattels 90,000 dinkas from Sudan in the early 90's, mostly kids and women, after they killed the men. The ancient Egyptians built the pyramids using tens of thousands of slaves, white, black didn't matter what. Slavery is like stupidity: has no colour! And quite frankly i'm rather amused when i still hear black young people pretending to have an issue with the rest of the western world having enslaved their ancestors: i had my ancestors enslaved too and i'm white and still i love GOOD black, yellow, red, white, green or whatever-colour-you-wanna-mention people. My neighbour is black and he does not give a shit about his ancestors having been enslaved by the Americans or the English 200 years ago...in fact he is more concerned about his relatives in Sudan risking to be enslaved, if not killed, by other black people, because this is happening now. When you hate someone because that person is part of a "race" whose some members did something bad to your grand-grand-grand-grandfather, you have a real problem and good chances are, to me , that you are the racist one and the one to avoid and to keep an eye on. I'm sorry for this long, boring post, but i'm really tired to hear people talking about slavery of 200 years ago and saying nothing about slavery of today or of 1000 years ago. My 2 cents.
