I don't know what question you asked. I think curiosity about a culture is just curiosity. Racism is a judgment, not an inquiry.

It's not racist to ask questions about any group's history. It's healthly to ask about other people's backgrounds & histories to better understand where that person came from. I'd say Tamara B is not a racist... a moron perhaps... but not a racist.
Also, having a friend that is indian does not necessarily exclude you from being a racist either.
*** Add *** Yes, some Africans were tricked into slavery as well as physically forced into it by slave traders. Some of the slave traders were white; but some were Africans themselves, selling other Africans from different tribes into slavery.

Having read back in your question history.....
when did this whole "umm" thing start? Your questions
started out to quite mature (much more mature than the
11 year old your pretend to be) and well-written.
Hmmmmmmmmm??!!
Suddenly your questions took a turn for the immature with the Hitler question. Now you're obsessed with this whole Cain/black thing. What's really going on here?

xm_wow, can I please straighten this out.
JUST BECAUSE YOUR FRIEND IS INDIAN DOESN'T MEAN YOU AREN'T RACIST!!!
Everyone is racist to a degree, whether we like it or not, lets face the facts.
Also, I'm sure as many people think you're racist as think Tamara B. is.
Also, if you are hurt by these people saying you're racist, I'm sure you offend people as well by asking all these quesions about blacks being cursed, etc.

The majority of the questions you've asked are about blacks. Are you obsessed or something?
