Slavery has been going on for thousands of years,and they say it even goes on today.
They were wrong to have slaves though,and we should not own people against their will.
But I would like to point this out,and African Americans should move forward.
All ethnic groups,and nations,push for power,but if they do not have the power they cry oppression,but if they had the power they would push it too.
The Europeans were last to get that power,so they could retain it longer,and with technology it makes it even more dangerous.
Egypt,and the early powers were cruel,into slavery,but they could not keep the power for too many people were getting big around them,so the last ones to get the power can keep it,for everybody else once they were knocked down could not rise up again,and the next kingdom can take over what they ruled.
All are sinners and come short of the glory of God,and what makes you to differ from another person.
The Bible says they accuse and excuse each other,which they point their fingers at other people accusing them,all the while they and their own people do the same.
But like I said all ethnic groups,and nations,push for power,but when they do not have the power they cry oppression,but if they had the power they would push it too,for look at gangs,and the communities that are against each other liking that kind of attitude.
There is no oppression and prejudice today,but such as is common to all nations.
African Americans can be rich,millionaires,billionaires,movie stars,television stars,musicians,sports stars,politicians,business owners,land and house owners,and nobody is keeping them in their community for they can leave any time they want.
So what oppression are they talking about.
There is no oppression and prejudice that occurs today,but such as is common among people that happens in all nations.
Therefore white privilege does not apply,for African Americans will give African Americans privilege,the Asians the Asians,the Latinos the Latinos,and so forth,for such is the way of the world,and a lot of whites give African American privileges.
Therefore white guilt does not apply,for everybody will bear the burden of their own sins,and the sins of people in the past has nothing to do with them,even if it is in their family tree,for then we can blame all African Americans for anything they did to our family if we are white,or a white person,but it does not work that way,for everybody will bear their own sins,and not guilty for another person's sin.
So what is the crying about.
There is nothing to cry about,and the African Americans should move forward,do good in their community,and quit pushing for power against each other liking that attitude,and black lives matters should be more directed at blacks against blacks.
Which there is no prejudice involved on my part,but people have to face up to reality,and not blame all people of an ethnic group for what some did,and slavery has been going on for years,which a lot of times it was worse before America.
Which since slavery was brought up I thought I would point that out.
There is nothing to cry about for all ethnic groups,and nations do it,and even if they did not do right it still goes on with many other people not Caucasian for many years,so do not look at some ethnic group,and nation,as doing something their own people would not do if given the chance,for such is the flesh,and the way of the world.
Rom 2:15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another.
