"THEY WANT US DEAD!" | MOM REACTS To "Race War" By Tom MacDonald & Adam Calhoun (REACTION!) 

There is no such thing as reverse racism, there's only racism. A racist is a racist, no matter what their color is.

Mom says if you commit a crime you have to pay reparations, and that’s true. But if my grandfather committed a crime, I have no responsibility to pay reparations. That’s where the analogy falls apart. Tom is saying in the song that there is no generational guilt that has to be atoned for.

I disagree with Mom. I'm not responsible for society's decisions. I didn't choose to be born in this society, and there is no way to live outside of society. You want reparations? I'm of Irish descent, my people were slaves. I don't want reparations. I want you to stop looking down on me because my people were slaves. I want you to see me for me. I want you to see the diversity of our culture and appreciate what we've brought to the table. If you want an enemy, it's the Government. Not the citizens.

no we do not owe anyone anything for something we didn't do , we should just all accept each other and celebrate that this kind of horrendous treatment is not in our day and age and how everyone can now live freely , united we stand , divided we fall

Nope, mom lost me. As a mother of 7 kids myself, and a white woman married to a black man with mixed race children, I think she is absolutely wrong about reparations. Your way of thinking is way more right young man. Think for yourself. You're a smart kid, you got this. No offense to your Mom 🤷🏼‍♀️

Honestly I think both of u guys should look more into ur own racial history as all races have not had an easy time, all races have faced hardships and difficulties throughout history.

Mom don’t even know she IS what Tom and Adam are speaking about. 😂😂😂

Hang Over Gang in the house! This old vet loves Tom's music! Tom is a deep rabbit hole of facts. HOG!!

You should check out Black and White by Tom MacDonald, Adam Calhoun, and Dax. In fact, their whole new album the Brave 2 is🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😂

Great reaction for your first Tom MacDonald. Tom has different subjects but is know for his social commentary music. Check out with your mom, - Sheeple - Dirty Money - The System. I'm not a Rap fan, but the message from him are clear and articulate, yes, some faster but most slower so people can understand. #HOG in the UK 🇬🇧 showing up

Not to pile on moms I think she has a big heart and means/wants the best for all. I feel like she slightly misses the mark on the race system it did exist but now mostly all things are the same and fair for all....enjoyed your reaction and please dive into some Tom...he's the most thought provoking artist around...

"I won't be dying in the race War our government has paid for" 🙂 First time seeing your reaction channel, loved the reaction and new sub for Tom Macdonald reactions ❤

Mom seems to get it exactly, but as a white person with a mixed family I now disagree with reparations after listening to my Black Family members. They too are against reparations. Your mom seems to have a very kind heart but her emotions are being manipulated by demons in society. But I agree with everything else she was saying. And with all due respect to you, I gotta say she is a good looking woman as well. You're a lucky kid to have her, I promise.

Im a 39 year old white guy who was raised on a simple premise never judge a book by its cover because if you judge a book by its cover you dont bother to read it. People are the same if you judge someone on their skin you never bother to get to know them and see your similarities the things you both love to do and believe in.

Sorry, Mom...I completely disagree with you on many levels. I have personally seen & experienced black privilege over white privilege as well as the reverse. I'm not referring to 50-60 years ago, rather the last 20. I'm 100% against reparations! Black people were not the only slaves and not all black people are descendants from slaves. There were very few slave owners, some of which were also black. Most people today are not descendants of slave owners. So should every black person get reparations regardless if they were a descendant of a slave, paid for by individuals who's ancestors never owned any slaves? Should every person complete their genealogy, regardless of race, to see if their ancestors were slaves? Such a slippery slope. Slavery was & STILL is a horrific stain on this world (not just America & still happening around the world today). No reparations for anyone!

All I can say is racism was on life support until the Obama Presidency. We all had high hopes he would deliver us from the final crumbs of racism and he unfortunately ended up throwing fuel on the fire. Now, with the Leftists push, there is a growing acceptance of racism towards white people. Morgan Freeman said it best when he was asked how we end racism, "STOP TALKING ABOUT IT". Simply be respectful & treat everyone as you want to be treated.

HOG in the House😎💪🔥💯🙏 more Tom reactions and People Will support you Big time🔥🔥🔥

Americans should not be ashamed of slavery. We fought to end it. What we should be ashamed of is the treatment of black Americans from reconstruction to the civil rights era. That is where we failed as a nation.

Thank you for doing this one! Please see The System by Tom MacDonald.

Reparations, I don't owe anybody anything from 158 years ago. Those reparations were paid in full during the Civil War with the blood and death of our forefathers, over 300,000+ Union soldiers died of war and disease to secure slaves freedoms.

This is The H.O.G Family. We respect people's opinions and we can agree to disagree. 90 Percent of us are very respectful and love new people reacting to Tom macdonald. This is a rabbit hole and Tom makes you think. If you decide to go i to the rabbit hole start with "Dear Rappers" and go from there. If you do more i will be here thank yall and have a vlees day.

Repartitions. So I should pay for something my family on either side has nothing to do with. My dad was Indian and Mom's family never had slaves. 🤔

The whole album "The Brave 2", have the best messages in all of music social or political. You both would probably enjoy reacting to the tune "Your America"

Tom Macdonald "THE SYSTEM" is a must 😮

MOM DIDN'T REALIZE HOW BAD THAT SOUNDED AT THE END ! LOL

I can absolutely appreciate a difference of opinion though. It's good to have these conversations, because otherwise there can never be understanding. I agreed with quite a bit of what your mother said, but not everything. But it's okay to disagree, because I feel like at the end of the day we all want the same thing. We just might disagree on how we get from point A to point B. Hearing people disagree with you or have different opinions than you can honestly be difficult. It's hard to keep an open mind and actually try and see it from different views. I think it's healthy if we all do more of this.

Y’all should try the song that Tom released called White and Black just before this one featuring Adam Calhoun and Dax, a black Canadian rapper. All their verses were great but Dax verse at the end will definitely be the center of discussion! Tom talks about white stereotypes, Adam talks about his Chicago upbringing not fitting white stereotypes and Dax brings it all together with hard facts!!

I think mom did a good job describing how she feels and the beliefs shes trying to instil in her son, but I believe she completely missed the point tom and adam were making. Maybe continue on the Adam and HOG journey some more

You're gonna blow up soon, no doubt:)

Mom, I never own slaves and my nameless friend told me he thankful for being in America. The rest of the world wants what we have. My family came from Germany after WWII , I don't owe anyone anything except Lord God Almighty.

My family is Irish and Mexican. I owe no one reparations. F that. Who's paying me for our land taken? No one. No. Zero reparations.

If you’ve come here to comment I would ask this - Read the book I recommended - Caste - The Origins of our Discontent and watch the documentary I mentioned - 13th. You will have no basis to understand my position without it. Thanks!

Hi Iim John just watched your reaction to race war. Have you seen the video with Carol Swain on RU-vid it's about the inconvenience of the democrat party. It's a eye opener. Love your mom commentary.

Born in the south fifth generation Texan and every black person I know feels the same way I do Racism was not an issue when I was a teenager and in high school The government has made it an issue Divide in conquer It just remember there Where slaves and every corner of this earth at one point, it wasn't just american.

WE'RE NOT ALL THE SAME SOCIETY , I'M AMERICAN , AND THIS IS NOT YOUR AMERICA ! / TOM , " YOUR AMERICA "

I completely agree with you at 6:53. What we did, I didn't do shit! Mom is very wrong on this. None of us today did anything so there is no we as a society when we didn't do anything and were not alive. Just like no one alive today lived through or experienced slavery. I refuse to take the blame or responsibility for anyone who isn't me. If you didn't do the crime why should your pay the time? Only 25% of southerners actually owned slaves so less than a quarter or all Americans actually owned slaves. Most of are ancestors didn't own slaves.

OK REPARATIONS FOR EVERYONE THAT WAS ALIVE ON DECEMBER 6 , 1865 = RATIFICATION OF THE 13th

This is what trips me out with people that support reperations. 1st, reperations come from taxes. That means if we as a society give blacks money, some of that money is coming from other blacks. That means taxes rise. That means blacks in part are paying other blacks. 2. Nobody paying increased taxes was responsible for slavery. 3. When does it stop? Do we only pay reperations to blacks alive now? What about blacks born tomorrow? Or the next day? What about kids born 5 or 10 years later. Everyone loves to talk about reperations but nobody talks about how it would acually work without the country going broke

Okay touching on the Jason Aldean song he was talking about burning down cities

Listen to more toms music , even his spoken words

I respectfully disagree with your mom. We need to not see color. That's the only way we can move on with our society. We are the melting pot, and reparations are not the answer. Slavery happened all over the world. For God's sake even Africa had way more slaves than we did. It was wrong, but we need to look forward, not backwards. Reparations would just divide the country even more

Great reaction Love Tom and Nova and Adam New sub hope you do more of Tom's and Nova music #HANGOVERGANG4EVER

Mom lost me with reparations.. nope

your mother is very thoughtful, however she is 180 degrees opposite of what Tom was saying

These are the kinds of songs you have to listen through once then react to the lyrics through the 2nd time to really get the full song/video!! #HOG Please react to "System" by "Tom MacDonald" with your mom it's not fast like this one, and she'll like it!! #Hangovergang

Mac and houn. Pronounced McDonald and Calhoon.

Oh I love the mom and son Reaction please jump down Tom McDonald’s and Adam Calhoun songs most there songs are like this and come with a message they both have strong fan base called hangovergang (hog) and Acal God bless and protect yous always🙏❤️🇵🇷 new sub 🙏❤️🇵🇷 #hog #Acal

Question? Please reply!! Why, when it comes to Reparations for black people, Americans feel they weren't there and should not be responsible? Bbbuuuttt, when they speak of the Holocaust it's not a problem to send them Reparations and none of us was there back then, and did not have anything to do with the Holocaust, also it was fought in Nazi Germany, bbbbuuuttt American paid Reparations to them and send them money on a regular. Now you have Ukraine, the Boarder people and so on and so on getting "Reparations" in the form of taxpayers dollars your social services benefits, social security benefits and so on. It's more than America that owes for the enslavement of black people. I DO NOT AGREE With GUILTING people for who they are!!!! Love yourself!!!! Before answering this question, really think about the hypocrisy. Do not be emotional but really think.... 🤔🤔🤔

I have to disagree with mom here. I should not, and will not pay reparations for something that my ancestors had no part in. And even if they did, I was not there, I did not do those things, so why should pay reparations simply because I am white? Punish not the son, for the sins of the father.

The Government keeps us divided to keep control over us. #FJB

It has been acknowledged it lol

It wasn't just America where it happened...it's was here since ancient Egypt human history full of slavery

The Bible states a son shall not pay for the crimes of his father.

The mom said she heard s black man say we should see skin color and she goes by the one opinion? We had less racism when we didnt see color.

People just need to have the mental fortitude to climb out of their own pit of despair. Otherwise they'll just rot in the dark.

try tom's song The System

One last point...mom...research history and how the Irish were treated.

Also Moms is gorgeous.

You lost me at saying that I as a white woman, who's families NEVER owned slaves (married name is Sanchez, but maiden is Wood - Pure English/Irish) - that I, have to pay reparations. Ridiculous. And how are the "reparations" going to be determined? What percentage of black do you have to be? How do you prove that your ancestors were slaves. SHM

A problem with reparations is it is never enough. And who gets it. Every black person? What percentage qualifies, 1/8th 1/4 1/2? What if your an e store were slave owners, do you then owe reparations or get reparations? Does Africa owe for selling their people to Europe and USA etc? I just don’t see how it’s possible.

People need to understand it’s not in the dna. Every race was enslaved at some point. To feel like it’s in your dna would be because you are constantly reminded your ancestor was a victim. Can’t we get past this?

Sorry, I disagree with reparations completely. I refuse to pay for something I did not do. Especially because there are levels to my identity, I'm part Italian, part native American, and part Irish. And how do we figure out who gets the reparations and how much? There was over a thousand black slave owners, we're going to have to track down those ancestors and make sure they're paying the reparations as well, right? Or is this only skin color based? You lost me with reparations.

Your mom is wrong

Calhoun like harpoon.😁🙏❤️

#HOGtheARMY #NOVASdaCHIT / MOM GOT IT = CALHOUN AS IN NOON #HOGLOVE2Uboth

I owe nobody anything. Screw 'reparations'.

Reparations will only cause a further divide

Sorry Mom but I do disagree but I do respect your opinion. We need to learn from the past and leave it there. Why should I have to feel guilty or pay for something that I didn't do. I will say yall need to listen to "Black and White" with Tom Macdonald, Adam Calhoun, and Dax.

Your historical view is too short. Thats why I disagree. Slavery was never a color thing. It began in the Slavic areas. Even though i disagree with your overall views i appreciate your views and care in which you lay out your ideas. Great video.

White people have had it worse. The word slave itself comes from Slav, the eastern Europeans that were slaved by the turks and Muslims form 900 to 1400, or My grandparents, farm slaves in the Ukraine in the early 1900's when Stalin took over. It's not just a black thing, but that is never taught.

I am sorry but I have to disagree with the mom she wants to talk about the courts making people pay reparations but the courts did not make that person's family pay they make that person who did it pay

Okay but there is nothing wrong with Jason Aldean song!!!!

It’s Cal hoon

They are black folks that live in gated community you guys need to listen to the song again

So should we pay representatives to the Indians? Since we stole their property, they were here first.

wow.... this is diving in at the Deep end... if you've never heard them. and yes... Cal-HOON

Unfortunately, this mentality is what causes division. I wonder if mom will go to jail for her child or grandkids.

I have to agree with To Tom,. The mom unfortunately is living in a bubble, she drank the Kool-Aid, and liked the taste.

Solving everyone's suffering sounds great mom, the problem is life is suffering, it's literally defined by suffering so what you want to do is put us all in a round room and tell us to go piss in the corner....there is no corner, and you can't escape suffering. What you can do is teach a person to fish so they can forever feed themselves. instead of indoctrinating all this division into our kids minds, how bout indoctrinating their minds with the knowledge, know how, wisdom to make good plans and make good decisions to lead to the best life they can live. Like Obama said and had been shown to be true in multiple studies, even if you're born in poverty, you can escape that by, FINISHING SCHOOL, GET A JOB AND DONT LEAVE UNTIL YOU HAVE ANOTHER JOB, DONT MAKE BABYS UNTIL YOUR MARRIED AND AT LEAST 25YRS OLD, DONT GET IN TROUBLE WITH THE LAW. People who don't do these things are 20% AT LEAST more likely to end up dead or in prison. People who do these things are over 80% likely to NOT go to prison and NOT die in poverty....

Tom usually it all about unity. but some songs people will take as versus. usually he likes to point out hypocrisy going on to start conversations. People so Stupid would be a good one to see.

You need to take away pause privilege away from Mom until she hears the entire song. Perhaps on the second go round would be a better place for her to speak on what the song actually id talking about. I think she leans too far on the liberal side to truly listen more than speak to these topics. Nothing against mom, keep doing this because talking about it is how we fix it. Her knee jerk reactions to stand up for a cause or thought pattern before she even hears it through and digests it isn't the way to have informed dialog. Also if you have white guilt or experience white privilege it may be because you're wealthy, most normal white folks do not experience this.

I think We are all responsible for our own lives, everyone os the same ,yes everyone is unique and acknowledging slavery was wrong is something that needs to be done . However dwelling on the past and saying white people should pay reparations for things that no one alive today lived with is ridiculous. I am not feeling guilty for something i didn't do . If you don't want to learn history your doomed to repeat so everyone needs to be treated equal and take "race" out of it . Pushing white privilege and white guilt is part of the problem, that makes white people feel hated. We are all equal we all bleed red #HOGARMY #ACAL #NOVA

Pretty people have privilege over ugly people so pretty people shouldn't be able to wear makeup

all the white people in the comments are hilarious

You all are loosing your 💩 about reparations. Some sensitive peeps in this comments section. First - RELAX (I don’t owe anyone anything crowd). Second - The effects of slavery are at play today in the US. That’s the problem! It’s not ancient history. Third - it’s called different opinions for a reason - because they’re DIFFERENT. Stand down crazy town.

was the war we fought and the people that die not enough? just asking for a friend. lol

Great reaction and breakdown. New sub. Please check out their song. Black and white.

We gotta move on.

Mom seems brainwashed lmao i will not pay another person for something they didnt live threw and i had nothing to do with sorry😊

I totally disagree with your mom on reparations. I did nothing wrong to owe anyone. How your mom is thinking then we should give reparations to every race in history. Every race has been through terrible things in history. I can not fell guilty for things that happened centuries ago. It was horrible and never should have happened but our generations did not cause it

👍👍👍

Mom missed the point i gaurantee Tom didnt mean it that way. Mom is the problem sorry.

a very woke reaction!

Cal- hoon

Frankly i think your mom is out of her mind sorry

I real disagree with your as Irishman my people want their hell for a very long time in the past , but their come a time you have to move on & stop the victim mentally , reparations how far are you going back

Moms missing the point. Yes "we" are all part of society, today's society, not 1865s society. We didn't do anything to anybody and the people who did have been dead now for about a hundred years and "we" aren't the ones who were wronged either, those people have also been dead for about a hundred years. Reparations are not "restitution" which is part of our legal system mom. Reparations have been in place now for 50 years or so with the enactment of affirmative action. Please mom, stop brain washing your child. You are feeding into the division propaganda that Tom and Adam are speaking against here, sad you can't see this😞😞

Michael Jackson was highly respected due to his wealth and many other wealthy blacks. I taught my kids NOT TO SEE COLOR. That expression originally meant, that while you can see their complexion, you are taught to judge your friends by how they treat you and not on the basis of their physical appearance. Tom is not meaning your meaning of not seeing color. He means it in common sense way, which is you can see cultural difference but they are not the main importance. The main importance is seeing that they are first and foremost a human being just like you. If someone in your family dies, then you will feel grief and loss, and so will any race feel the same. And when your kid achieves something he or she is excited to share with their parents, isn't that universal among children to show their parents that they have talent? That is what is meant when he says that we ARE ALL THE SAME. We may have different styles of cultural experiences, but the basics of being human are the SAME. Men & Women are different and yet it takes EQUAL DNA from both genders to produce a single biological human being. God didn't say 49% for one gender & 51% of the opposite gender to make a baby. No. It is equal parts. So while men & women have different kinds of strength and weaknesses, as a cooperating team, they are the foundation of the family unit (and that goes for all races). So in that context, men & women are equal in God's eyes. It's embedded by our physiological design that it take both genders to make a human so both are genetically contributing to the continuity to the human species as a whole. For without their equal genetic contributions, there is NO HUMANITY AT ALL. So women & men are the essence of homo sapien sapien. We need to see that what is important BEYOND cultural variations of experiences is that WE ARE OUR SPECIES, not just our race. And if we keep on concentrating on differences, then we overlook the fact that we all bleed red and we all turn into bones in the end. But the main thing is our SOUL HAS NO COLOR BUT THEY ALL WEIGH EXACTLY 21 GRAMS! I was once evaluated by a marriage counselor who was also a psychologist. I shared my upbringing story with her. And she told me that I had beaten astronomical odds because of all the violence I witnessed as a 6 yr old, I should have been a statistic of ending up either as a victim or in prison. Instead I had achieved a lot and raised two children. Was married for 17 years. Husband was a Vietnam Vet with PTSD and was causeing trauma for our children so he moved out after 17 years. I'm a widow now, but I'm in good mental health (no depression or anything). I learn to overcome depression after giving birth, but I did it without meds. People tend to take out of context the messages in songs. Not seeing color was a good thing when it was first brought up. It simply meant not treating others who look different or speak differently with less respect than any other human being. That is what the context Tom was saying it. If you listen carefully to the entire verse about not seeing color, you will notice that he was saying that he was raised to respect ALL people. But of course that doesn't mean you become a doormat either (let's not jump to the opposite extreme). Communication can be confusing when people don't want to understand the message but want to argue with the message. To further prove that that is what Tom meant, then why don't you check out his track called BLACK & WHITE featureing Tom, Adam & Dax. Dax is Canadian born and was friends with Tom before Tom moved to California and became a naturalized American citizen (and Dax is American now too). They were long time buddies. And Tom fell on hard times with Nova and they lived in the black ghetto of L.A., Calif. (*Side note: I was born and raised in Los Angeles CA too).And for 20 years, I too lived in the black ghetto (say "black" because other races have ghettos too). So I'm no spectator about all of this race stuff. I have lived what I'm talking about. Although I never was beat up or injured. Because of how I wisely dealt with living there. plus, it was street-smartz-intelligence that made me survvie (and gain wisdom). Tom asked some people in the hood who he was friends with (he was the ownly white guy there) to hel him do a video called IF I WAS BLACK. You really should see that before you watch BLACK & WHITE. Your mom should see both of those tracks: IF I WAS BLACK and BLACK & WHITE. Then you can't think that Tom doesn't understand the differences, he's not blind. He is friends and respectful dispite superficial differences. And all human God gave a SOUL, and God said that EVERY RACE SHALL HAVE A SOUL (thereby proving that God viewed all human DNA to be the same). There is scientific measurable PROOF THAT WE HAVE A SOUL and you don't have to assume or believe it. Around the world medical examiners weigh dying people before & after they pass. And every human being loses EXACTLY 21 GRAMS UPON THEIR DEATH. That proves that the weight that is lost upon death is the weight OF THE SOUL. ALL SOUL WEIGHT ARE CREATED EQUALLY THE SAME. Why did God make it that way, to demonstrate that beyond your flesh body, you are a HUMAN SOUL, and that is the reason to be respectful and let ALL PEOPLE SPEAK THEIR MINDS, and NO race should be singled out to be shamed and made to feel inferior to another race. But the wealthy rulers have done this to humanity. But it is human beings who must become aware of how they are being mentally tricked and stop falling for it by not seeing color. And I already thoroughly explain what context I mean that in. Now, technically I'm called a "Mulatto", which is a mixed race, making up of both Black and White, where the blood lineages are quite close together percentage wise. And I refuse to allow anyone to dictate to me that I am a black person or a white person; I'm neither & both at the same time. When you mix the colors of black & white, you don't get white or black you get grey which is a hybid like myself (that is what a Mulatto is). Yet when I was a child/student, kids tried to pressured me into identifying either my black side or my white side. I consider to make a choice about which side I liked better would be a self-betrayal. So I won't betray my bloodlineage which contains black & white, it is what it is. So yeah, it is NOT A RACE WAR (behind the scenes). Actually, it's an Ego-tripping group of wealthy Eletists secretly preying on our species as modern-day pirates trying to take everything for their tiny group, and leave the rest of humanity high and dry. So it's in their plans that they've written books and told us about. But people ignore it or think that they won't dare try to pull it off. Well they are doing it in our faces everyday. Thats why we've been invaded by illegals who are taking over the American economic resources and causing big decreases, drastically.Something is seriously wrong in America. Race division is a psychological misdirection so that we won't get wind of what the super rich are really doing to all of us (all reaces). Thank you.

First

There's another context of "not seeing color" can convey. For instance there are differences, but deep down we are ALL HUMAN BEINGS WHO GO THRU PAIN, GRIEF, MISFORTUNE. Plus the white race has been generalized as being "privileged". Well so are some blacks. My biological mother is white & my father is black. I was raised in BOTH CULTURES, and I've experienced prejudice coming from both sides. And I was always being pressured into choosing which side I feel closest (black or white) . I told them neither, because it took EQUAL amounts of DNA chomosomes from my father & mother. And I was bullied for it. But I never back down and told them what they wanted. Plus, when they claim that blacks have it so bad here in America. I challenge anyone to name and show evidence of a single female black billionaire in any other country besides America. I'm not a fan of Oprah's, but she worth 3+ Billion Dollars. Also there are MORE BLACK MILLIONAIRES in America than anywhere in the world. So apparently there are privileges for black people. And whenever a black person is killed, the media makes a BIG DEAL about it. But whenever whites are in the same situation, the media ignores it and acts like it's not happening. Candice Owens shared stats that there are more whites being shot by cops than blacks. Plus we have to take into consideration that the white population is larger than blacks. But still, my main point is that the media has an agenda to stir up anger in blacks towards whites every time a black person is shot by a white person. Candice also mentioned that she shared the stats on black-on-black violent crimes, and the figures were super high. YET, the media either plays that down or ignores that factor altogether. Because they want black people focused on thinking that they have no responsibilty for being violent toward their fellow black neighbor. And just blame everything on white people all the time. I got fed up with it. Now, I also recently found out the there were black slave owners of white people. And that was deliberately ommitted from tthe school system's curriculum so that people would think that there were ONLY WHITE SLAVE OWNERS in American early history -- not true. In fact, Thomas Sowell has documentaries on the first slave owner in America. He was black and his name was Anthony Johnson ( c. 1600 - 1670) was an Angolan-born man who achieved wealth in the early 17th-century Colony of Virginia - the first slave owner in the U.S. by civil suit. And did you also know that there were WHITES SLAVES in America (and some were owned by black people). So it has NEVER BEEN ABOUT COLOR - IT'S ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT ECONOMIC CLASS WEALTH division, period There have always been poor disadvantaged whites, blacks, mexicans and most all races. And each race has been looked down upon by the wealthy of their own race. I learned that for most of human history SLAVERY has existed. The British were the first to abolish slavery in their country as their law. Then France abolished it in the legal structure and then America. To this day, in South Africa slavery exists and is legal. We were lied to when they said Europeans invaded Africa to capture slaves. That was impossible because at that time, there was no cure for malaria. And when the Europeans entered Africa they could not stay long without dying. So they couldn't have hunted them down. No. Instead, the Africans sold their black slaves to the European slave traders. Cherokee Indians were slave owners of captured rival Naitve tribes (and some were cannibalistic). I saw a documentary that showed where the enslaved indians who were being eaten by the tribe of indians. So they asked the European explorers to help set them free, and they did. You see they want to only tell one side of our human history so that we the masses will think that one group had it worse than another. The Irish were slaves in this country and also Indians had Irish slaves. They never expose these things so that people will think how they think, which is one group had privilege over another. I heard these facts from older black people who knew the real truth about slavery. In the beginning of all slavery, it was always about THE HAVES vs. THE HAVE NOTS (no matter the ethnicity).
