I up voted it. But people always made comments about religion vs. atheism, except instead of religion they said "Christianity". As if it represents all religions.

But does anyone here have the courage or strength to love someone as a brother or sister who believes that white people aren't discriminated against, nor women, or someone who believes it's not ok to have different opinions from them? True acceptance is accepting different races, different gender and sexual orientations, yes, but also those who hate acceptance. True acceptance is still loving the racists and the sexists because fundamentally they are people. And Jesus tells us to love everyone. So do most other religions.

Why do people think that funsubstance is some magical place that is immune to what goes on all over the internet?

I remember when black people enslaved and oppressed an entire race of Caucasians.... it was around the time women raised to power and collectively held 99% of land and earned more than 25% then men. No one ever points this out, dude, thanks for bringing it to everyone's attention how difficult it is to be a white man.

"In the 16th – 18th century, Africans enslaved 1.5 million White Europeans in the Barbary Slave Trade. African Muslims raided up the coastlines of Europe, particularly the British Isles but even as far as Iceland, kidnapping and enslaving White European Christians. The men were galley slaves, and the women were sex slaves. This was more brutal than working on a plantation or as a domestic servant."

Yeah, no. That was Ireland's slave trade you're talking about, right? With less than 20,000 people compared to millions upon millions. That's comparing apples to genocide. Check yourself: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbary_slave_trade

I'm sure that's not the only time whites were enslaved but either way...No black person in the US today was ever a slave...not even their grandparents.

If you want to hold to that argument and ignore the obvious bias that has and still does exist against people of color that is up to you and your own mind. My grandparents saw segregation, lynchings, cross burnings, unequal treatment for housing, education, employment... MY grandparents. In this current lifetime. The ripples of racism don't just disappear, the same way hatred of homosexuals isn't going away even though they are being afforded equal protections. Prejudices exists, hatred is passed down- it's their whether you acknowledge it or not.

I'm not saying it doesn't....I'm saying its not an excuse anymore. It's not an excuse to use for not being successful or progressing. It shouldn't be something someone is so quick to exclaim because someone doesn't agree with them or something does not go their way. [I feel like I should let you know that I am not white. I am the daughter of immigrants.]

Guys stop. We can't go back in the past. You can't blame people for what people of there race did / do. We are trying NOT to judge people by their race now.

To be fair, the Barbary slave trade did not have nearly the numbers nor the long reaching social and political impact that American slavery did. Also, the US went to war with the Barbary pirates to stop their raiding. Apropos to this, the Treaty of Tripoli, which ended the war, states that the United States does not have a state religion.
