This is my belief. White people have told a lie so long that it's now become the truth. They force Africans to learn their ways the same way they are doing in Iraq and the other countries over seas. Talk this language and take Christianity so you can shut up. White people now don't even know the truth because they are also brainwashed from there ancestors. White people became jealous of black people for a reason. Everybody had slaves back in the day but whites were really cruel then other racist and I wonder why towards blacks.

Excuse my audacity but race does not come in a package-deal with certain believes or cultural values. I can safely say that most "white" people know the whole story concerning people with an African descent in the US; just as well as these "black" people you speak of.
Whether or not believes and cultural values were forced upon a certain group of people is irrelevant- when opposite cultures merge, regardless if it is through friendly terms or slavery like in this case- one culture will absorb the other. This is simply what happened. The dominant culture- in this case being the "white" who took the "black" as slaves had the power of force and were the ones that were able to control which culture was going to absorb the other. Obviously they opted for theirs absorbing the African culture. There was no brainwash involved. Just the fact that when two cultures collide the dominant one will prevail. I'm sorry if you interpret my own words as racist but in this case the dominant culture was simply the one with the power to enforce its will- ie the "white" one.
As for your last statements concerning racism, I can't say I truly understood your point.

well first off not everyone could afford slaves. the cost of a slave was almost a month's salary to the average man.
as for truth, you could use a history lesson. you should start with the civil war and the company of Black Confederate soldiers.
that fought of their own free will because the union army had invaded their homes.
go beyond what they feed you in public school and o some actual research into the history of this country and the slave trade.
however i give you a warning, if you do this you will find that the Africans may have gotten a raw deal at the beginning, but many other people had it much worse and still do to this day.
as for the government, sure you can trust them...ask any Native American

Brainwashed?
Man, NO ONE is able to brain wash anybody, unless you allow them to do, and I DON'T THINK Black people or any other race in general has been brainwashed...
When will you idiots tired of the stereotypical questions. Why Blacks this, why white people this and that...? ASK REALISTIC and serious questions here. Not why you have a black or brown hair.

It might surprise you but at one time Blacks were better liked and better treated in NEW York than the Irish. Even the Chinese were treated better than the Irish, and this is when Chinese were the target of severe race laws. Go figure.
