Answer 1

Inhumanity to any group of people is inhumanity.

Do you find it unusual that individuals tend to speak of, relate to identify with the injustice directed towards their particular gender, faith, ethnicity, sexual orientation, etc.?

Answer 2

Of course it did. Rumour is that it still does, in one or two
low places. My great great grandmother was an Irish slave.
My great great grandfather was an African slave. So does
knowing that one was white and one was black make me
feel better about slavery? No I do not hate white people. I
do not hate black ones, but Slavery can be a mental condition
and anyone can have it. I am very very leery of anyone I con-
sider to be enslaved. Whether playing the role of slave or
master.

Answer 3

That's a really good question. I think it was the poor whites who were treated as slaves from what I read in my history books. Peasants had to do work for the riches and they were treated badly by working for hours, even the women and children had to work.

Answer 4

Yes. You are correct- Whites have been enslaved as well. I answered a similar question before and will post my response to it below. (The question was concerning whether or not blacks owned whites, and it's regarding the United States, but I think it's still a satisfactory answer to your question.)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


No one is going to like my answer, and I'm sure to get some thumbs down, but my answer is yes.... Blacks DID own white slaves.

White slaves were owned by blacks in the South to the extent that the Virginia Assembly actually passed the following law in 1670: "It is enacted that no ***** or Indian though baptized and enjoying their own freedom shall be capable of any such purchase of Christians."

Records of that time also reveal that many free blacks owned black slaves themselves. Black historian, Duke University professor John Hope Franklin, records that over 3,000 free blacks owned slaves in New Orleans in 1860.

Back to white people: In 1717, it was proposed that a qualification for election to the South Carolina Assembly was to be "the ownership of one White man."

Regardless of who owned them, SEVERAL white people were owned as slaves for hundreds of years. And owning white slaves was actually very economical... Black slaves were expensive. Although they (black slaves) were treated cruelly, they were not used beyond the limits of human endurance as often as white people, because such would have been a waste of a HUGE investment. White slaves, however, consisted of the poor and unwanted. They were in huge "cheap" supply.

I could continue with a "ton" of history, but I doubt that anyone would believe it. We are the victims of "selective" education.
And, if you think I am saying this to somehow carry on some type of "white people want to be victims and make blacks look bad" claim, you are so wrong. Assume, just for a few moments, that I am telling the truth. Why do you think it has been excluded from our history books? Truth be told, since the "white man" had such a period of dominance, the "white man" could have told any story that "he" wanted to, truth or not, if he really wanted to be seen as a victim and make blacks look "bad". But it wasn't told. Why wasn't it told?

Now I would like to comment on a few of the things that you have said above-

"....black act like they hate us im not a racist iam realist lookin for strait answers an honest answers"
----Not all blacks hate us or act like they hate us. Please don't assume that all blacks feel the same, because they don't.

"....white ppl dont speak for white ppl , black ppl see black , white ppl see nationality, money etc,"
----You are correct in saying that white people don't speak for white people. But black people don't speak for black people either. No one of any particular race (or other group) speaks for entire races (or other groups) of people. Why do you say that white people don't speak for white people and then say "white ppl see nationality, money etc,"? By saying this, you are attempting to speak for white people. But not all white people are the same, just as not all black people (or any other group of people) are the same. Not all white people "see nationality, money etc". And why did you say that black people "see black"? Not all black people think, feel, say, or do the same things.

"....if you are poor you are trash , to white /black"
----I completely agree if what you are saying is that both whites and blacks are viewed as trash if they are poor. This is very true. This country is more divided based upon socioeconomic class than anything else. And, in my opinion, those who cannot see this are just fooling themselves.
