why do whites get all the blame for having slaves?

Question

we were not the only ones to take advantage of the poor, dumb primative africans. The Spaniards (Hispanics, anscestors of mexicans) had tons of slaves. Spain was largely involved in slave trading. Any body seen the movie Amistad?

Answer 1

Are you stupid????, The Spanish are Whites,Spanish commited genocide on Aztecs our Ancestors. Occupied Mexico for over 200yrs, until Mexico won their Indepence from the Spanish. Why do Whites base all their information on Movie that they watch?
Mexico never recognized slavery, that is one of the reason Whites wanted Texas to expand slavery.

Answer 2

Actually, the Spanish are Europeons, they are considered white. Most Hispanics don't consider themselves as Spanairds.
Much of the population from Mexico to South America are mixed Spanish and Amerindian descent.

However, I do have to agree that Whites are not the only people who were involved with holding or trading slaves. Africans who lived on the coast captured slaves from neigbhoring villages and sold them to Europeans. The Aztecs captured slaves from other other tribes. There was also some slavery on the Asian continent. Despite the fact other groups being guilty of slavery, it does NOTHING to justify your racist views. Seriously, you don't know what you are talking about.

Answer 3

I am gonna tell, you don't know what you are talking about many many slaves were treated horribly...do you honestly believe that they were treating slaves with the utmost care lmao, and roots was history passed down in a family sure they probably made up some stuff but most of that knowledge was passed down by Alex Hailey's family and oh roots was made in the late seventies not the sixties

Answer 4

the Spanish are WHITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AND in the USA, whites alone prospered from slavery. Because of the black slave even the dumbest, poorest, most horrid whites had a human they were "better than" both socially and in terms of humanity.

Its more than get a man, make him work, make money. There is a whole gambit of psychological things that came from the racial system of slavery and its reverberating today.

Hey, read the constitution, what did it say about the humanity of blacks before 1860?? Something like it took 3 of them to equal one white man????

In the states NO WHITE MAN COULD BE A SLAVE!!!!! There is the difference. It would have been fair if blacks could hold white slaves and what not but it was BLACK slave, WHITE master...it was RACIAL...nuff said.

Answer 5

Poor dumb primative africans? Haha. You are stupid arent you? Where are you writing from, a mental home? So narrow minded.

Answer 6

It's actually about the treatment AFTER slavery.

Contrary to popularized beliefs which are depicted in the 1960's film "Roots", slaves were not routinely beaten. Slaves were rarely if ever beaten and treated with the utmost care. Don't believe me? Most people who were rich enough to own slaves DID treat them as valuable property; making sure their health and children were provided for. However, to be sure that their household didn't grow out of control, the male figure was often kept in separate quarters or even sold. This type of population control during slavery times caused such a tear in the fabric of african american family, that even today, most black men do not know their station in the family; and refuse to mimic white male counterparts, even if it is to the detriment of their own children.
However, I digress; slaves were treated as valuable property, much like we care for valuable property today.

Answer 7

I think it was because of how poorly a lot of whites treated slaves. They didn't even consider black slaves as humans, in fact they were treated worse than their dogs. Another is because black were TAKEN into slavery by white men. There is a difference in slave trading and taking someone from their country and forcing them into slavery. Just my opinion.

Answer 8

"take advantage of the poor, dumb primative africans."

Ya, that helps.
You are right though,there were other countries and people who had slaves before we even did.

Answer 9

Maybe because whites have tradiationally been linked with the crueslest of crimes through most of history (except for ghengis khan).

Answer 10
