Ignorance Never Dies

A friend of mine recently showed me this little (well its really long) excerpt from someone she went to high school with. Please read it and share your thoughts.

Insolent moron:
“im gonna start this by telling you that Black, African American, Colored, Nigger, what ever you yourself call them they piss me off sometimes. this is not coming from a single incident i just have thought this for a while and it is black history month.... let me say that again Black History Month! are you serious what did they do so great to get their own history month.... we dont have an american indian month we dont have a white history month, come on man! all you see on black history month is a bunch of programs on black history thats great i guess because it is our history and people need to know history but why have a month why cant we just have it along with the other stuff on the history channel i love the history channel but dont wanna have black history for a whole month sure they play "white history " what is white history? world war 1? ummm no im pretty sure there were black people in that world war 2... nope they were there too. the cival war! HAHAHAHA yeah ok, black people think they are the reason for the cival war so you got me there.no its not white history or black history it is just HISTORY it happened it did not just effect black or whites it effects everyone you think the only people the american cival war effected was america hell no.im not saying that it didnt because obviously we were most effected, im saying that it had an effect on all of the countries Africa probly next to america because all of you people who think all slaves were forced on a boat go do some research, yes there were slaves who were forced to come over but there we also some who came willingly. AND there were some who were SLAVES in africa and were sold to the white men from their BLACK slave owners. but you never hear about the latter two because they want to make a big deal about it yes it was bad im not taking it away from you i dont agree with it dont get me wrong and im sorry to those of you whose ancstors ACTUALLY were part of it but how about the whole race quit taking credit for something that only happened to a percentage.I actually heard a black man saying that there has never been a president apologize for slavery! Are you kidding me thats like saying to some one well your great great grandad hit my great great grandad i want you to apologize, i would laugh in that kids face then probably hit him for saying something so dumb. there were free black in prebellum times you know (thats before the war) so quit asking for restitutuion how does that have anything to do with you? unless you can trace it back directly then dont talk to me about it. i have no sympathy for you . you are NOT the only race to have ever been persecuted in this world, heck in this country.... nowadays as we speak any single person from the middle east gets beat up or made fun of or driven from their towns just because a select group harmed our nation not all middle eastern people are terrorist.but let me get back to my point black people you were not the only people that were slaves... do you even know the definition of slave? well i do:Slavery is a social-economic system under which certain persons — known as slaves — are deprived of personal freedom and compelled to perform labour or services. Huh, well then lets really get started im gonna give some examples, slavery can be traced back to 1800...B.C. romans and greeks had women as slaves, prisoners from war were captured and became slaves.in the Bible in the book of Genesis Joseph was sold int slavery by his brothers who were jealous of him.jews have been slaves more than they can count, In biblical times moses led the isrealites (jews) out of egypt because the egyptions were using them as slaves, during Nazi Germany the jews we being held in concentration camps... come on world give them a break... now time for a new race. indians they were here first nd what did we do to them we plagued them we killed them.. but only after they fed us give us shelted taught us how to farm and grow corn. we took their land we made them move across the country ever heard of the trail of tears person? its not just a story its true it happened.... now on to my point of this whole big thing ... here is a question for you black person. What makes you so different from me?why do i ask because i hear on tv if barock oboma is elected he will be the first black person president .. so why does it matter? a black man wins nobel prize and he is the first... so why does it matter... you never hear oh he was the first white man to score a basket in basket ball( i know bad example it was invented by a white man) SO WHAT!!! i dont care if you are the first to win you are a person y does it have to be black in front so for now on this is gonna be adressed to person. person this country can never move forward if we keep thinking like this the only reason there are racist is because it give you an excuse. you make us racist even if we are not an example that happened to me. i asked this girl she was black why she was wearing camo i was in fl at the fair and there were alot of black people wearing hunting camo so i said " why do all the black people wear camo ear i am from alabama and have never seen that its pretty odd... " and she said to me i quote" oh no what did you say to me are you racist i cant believe he called me black! what am i supposed to say to your race? i refuse to call a black person born in the usa an African American. you are american . what because your ancestors might have come from africa your an african american there are countries that have blacks besides africa. we dont call chinese people chinese american or people with ancestors from canada canadian americans... why do you have to be different i will call you a Nigger before i call you a african american because i feel it is more offensive because thats not you nation be patriotic person just be american. now i just want to clear this i am not an avid user of the word Nigger , but i am not scared to say it because it has to be said sometimes to make a statement. i do not go around calling every person i meant black or white a nigger so there. so again what makes you so different? take slavery off the board take the cival rights movement away what is different about us you take a white man and a black man raise them in the counrty away from anyone never introduce them to our culture and what is gonna be different in them .. their color and thats all, racism is a choice a choice by you and a choice by your parents when they raise you. i was not raised by racist parents and am glad, it give me the chance to see people for who they are not their skin. my children will be raised to respect everyone the same. there will be no difference in black white red blue purple green... well glue green and purple maybe cause thats just wierd.. but seriously we can stop this if only you try so quit thinking that everytime a white person says black they are racist and person quit thinking that every time you see a black man he wants to steal you are only fueling the fire.... thank you Dustin”

just a quick clarification about the jewish people. A lot of the times the jews were not kept as slaves, just tortured and killed. We however just want to say, thanks for taking it all in stride as we continue to take over the world through the media and the financial side of government.

My 2 cents: I really wonder why people waste their time sound so utterly unintelligent. They're trying make it look like they're making a big valid point, when in reality, they just sound ignorant, puerile, insane, and so out of the blue its not even funny, not to mention they HORRID grammar (I know I’m not perfect either…)

With all the hateful bullshit they spewing you’d think he was Hitler’s grandchild or something. I know there's ocean full of people who still have an ass backwards view on life, but it's still really sad how we as Americans have no progressed one bit…shit is just more “hush-hush” I guess or they are much more passive about hatred.
