Oh I see, so if I have more money than you and I employ you and we both make money that's ok, unless I'm white and you're black, then it's racism?

I'm just making sure I understand your point. It is so illogical I'm afraid I need a little help.

Here's the REAL issue reworded: "poor people picked from the cotton fields by rich people" who wanted to exploit and make money off their talent and the generational heritage of the poor culture ( which pretty much is all they had ). Racism is just the window dressing. Follow the money.

And it has been going on since recorded time. Nothing new and it still goes on. It's actually worse in many ways today. All our TV's, cell phones, clothes, all made with one of the worse forms of slave labor. Obama approved to take Malaysia off the human rights violations lists for no real reason other than the China market being under pressure for guess what? Human rights violations. You can look all this up. I did and it opened my eyes. Slavery is still alive and kicking.

In fact, the wealthy cannot conceive of what it is like to NOT HAVE ECONOMIC PRIVILEDGE AND THE POWER THAT COMES WITH IT. This is part of the problem with the "president".

Here is a very ugly story about an inventor who was a slave.

No. 1076: Slave Inventors

And let's make sure we cite the book so they can go read all about it.

Do you actually believe black people are the only people ever robbed of their invention? Google that Sir...

I'll wait...

You see racism where you want to see it.

And yes, do cite a book. The last one you cited proved my point...

Wait...so enslaved people not being credited for their inventions wasn't a product of racism? Lmao. Okay. I'm done. Good night.

Oh you were done a few pages back. Sleep well my friend. Let's continue tomorrow. I'm down. This is fun. I'll get through to you eventually if you give me a fair shot. You won't be the first.

And, to Danno, about the NFL not being a product you will be purchasing anymore - does that mean we will be seeing less of you, then? Fingers-crossed.
