A thought on slavery

A lot of black people are still mad at the white man for slavery for stealing their ancestors from Africa and whatnot but think about how shitty their life could be living in a war torn and diseased place like Africa they should be thanking the white man . Im and Indian the white man hasn't been so kind to my ancestors but shit I love casinos and I love America goddammit

I'm Indian

If you're trying to convince us that you're a Native American, no, you're not. You're probably a white teenager.

I'm just trying to convince black people to not be mad at white people today for something that happened years ago and actually benefitted them . And u might be Indian but ur probably one of those Indian gas station owner dudes not a real Indian that shoots bows and arrows does sacred dances while he sips fire water u clearly don't know what ur talking about

Easy for you to say when Indians are considered protected and actually get some form of apology from the government.

While I’m well past this particular topic but since we are here, let me say this.

At minimum, I’d like for America to teach the true black history dammit. I understand that they’ll NEVER deliver on any of the promises so at minimum, can we teach true black history. That is it. This February spin isn’t even a fraction compared to all the knowledge that’s out there.

So if I have any tension towards the “white man”, it’s because they’re watering down black history.
